Abstract
A structure of signal cable connector, which is connected to the signal cable between the hard disk and the computer's main board, comprises at least an enclosure, a circuit board and a wire strand. Wherein a wire block is utilized to affix the signal wires and a ground block to conduct the soldered ground wires so as to minimize the solder points incurred by direct solder of conducting wires on circuit board, resulting in easier assembly and optimized yield.
Claims6
A structure of signal cable connector, which is connected to a signal cable between a hard disk and a computer's main board, comprises:
- an enclosure;
- a circuit board;
- a wire strand;
- a wire block, which is composed of a pair of conjugate plastic blocks, installed at a solder end of the wire strand;
- and said pair of conjugate plastic blocks comprise a plurality of furrows running lengthwise, two ridges around front and rear openings thereof as well as a plurality of grooves incised into said ridges;
- a ground block composed of a pair of conjugate metal blocks that comprise a pair of mortise and tenon and a fork protruding forwardly;
- conducting wires of the wire strand fitted into furrows of the plastic blocks respectively, and said plastic blocks being concealed under the pair of metal blocks so as to constitute one block unit, and the forks on flanks of the metal block electrically coupling the ground wires to ground circuits on two sides of the circuit board;
- signal wires of the wire strand being soldered on signal circuits of the circuit board, and the ground wires of the wire strand being folded to fit into the grooves so as to be soldered on the ground block.
