ON-VEHICLE ETHERNET CONNECTOR

Abstract

An on-vehicle Ethernet connector includes a housing, a terminal, a shield member, and an ESD casing; the housing formed in a barrel shape and having a U-shaped protection structure; the terminal inserted on a bottom of the housing; the shield member inserted in the pillar bodies; the ESD casing mounted around the housing; the U-shaped protection member disposed in the housing and having a plurality of pillar bodies connected and arranged around the terminal; and a sectional view of the plurality of pillar bodies around the terminal being formed in a U shape. The U-shaped protection structure surrounding the terminal prevents the terminal from being accidentally touched, thus increasing the stability and security of the connector. The shield member shields around the terminal. The U-shaped protection structure formed of plastic material provides dust-proof, water-proof, insulation, and accidental contact prevention.

Claims

1. An on-vehicle Ethernet connector, comprising: a housing, a terminal, a shield member, and an ESD casing; the housing formed in a barrel shape; the terminal inserted on a bottom portion of the housing; the shield member is inserted on an inner wall of the housing; the ESD casing mounted around an outer wall of the housing; the housing having a U-shaped protection structure; the U-shaped protection member disposed in the housing and comprising a plurality of pillar bodies; the pillar bodies being connected and arranged around the terminal; and a sectional view of the plurality of pillar bodies around the terminal being formed in a U shape.

2. The connector of claim 1, wherein the shield member is inserted in the pillar bodies.

3. The connector of claim 1, wherein the pillar bodies of the U-shaped protection structure are formed of a plastic material.
