Abstract
A USB device includes a main body, a PCB fixed in the main body and a USB connector connected to the main body. The USB connector includes a shell, a USB plug and a cover. The shell defines a receiving room, a first opening and a second opening and includes an integrally formed enclosure enclosing the receiving room and a first flange outwardly protruding from the enclosure. The USB plug electrically connects to a wire group and is inserted into the shell from the first opening. The cover shields the second opening and is fixed to the shell. The cover includes a second flange engaging with the first flange to cooperatively receive the wire group and connect to the main body.

A USB device, comprising a main body, a PCB fixed in the main body and a USB connector connected to the main body, the USB connector comprising:
- a shell, defining a receiving room, a first opening and a second opening, and comprising an integrally formed enclosure enclosing the receiving room and a first flange outwardly protruding from the enclosure, the first opening formed at a front of the enclosure, and the second opening formed at a top of the enclosure;
- a USB plug, electrically connecting to a wire group and partially inserted into the shell from the first opening;
- and
- a cover, shielding the second opening and fixed to the shell, the cover comprising a second flange engaging with the first flange to cooperatively receive the wire group and connect to the main body, wherein the wire group is inserted into the receiving room via the first opening and extends into the main body via the first flange and the second flange to electrically connect to the PCB.
A USB connector, comprising:
- a shell, integrally formed by plastic material, comprising a pair of side walls, a front wall, a back wall, a top wall and a bottom wall, and defining a first opening formed in the front wall and a second opening formed among the top wall, the pair of side walls and the back wall, the shell further comprising a first flange outwardly protruding from one of the pair of side walls and close to the back wall;
- a USB plug, electrically connecting a wire group and partially inserted into the shell from the first opening;
- and
- a cover, shielding the second opening and fixed to the shell, the cover comprising a second flange engaging with the first flange to cooperatively receive the wire group.
A USB device, comprising a main body, a PCB fixed in the main body and a USB connector pivotably connected to the main body, the USB connector comprising:
- a shell, defining a receiving room, a first opening and a second opening, and comprising an integrally formed enclosure enclosing the receiving room and a first flange outwardly protruding from the enclosure, the first opening formed at front of the enclosure, and the second opening formed at top of the enclosure;
- a USB plug, electrically connecting a wire group and partially inserted into the shell from the first opening;
- and
- a cover, shielding the second opening and fixed to the shell, the cover comprising a second flange engaging with the first flange to cooperatively connect to the main body and provide a passage for the wire group being inserted into the main body to electrically connect to the PCB.
