The power supply integration structure 1 of the connection interface is applicable for the inside of a server and may be mounted on a stand 2 between a host system and a data access system (not shown in the figure) in the inside of the server. The power supply integration structure 1 of the connection interface includes at least one electrical connection module 10, and a power guide base 11 provided for connecting the electrical connection module 10 to a power supply. Here uses, but not limited to, two electrical connection modules 10 as an example.

(9) The electrical connection module 10 is fixed on the stand 2. The stand 2 may have a plurality of mounting holes 20 arranged transversally and spacedly. Each electrical connection module 10 passes through each mounting hole 20 in an erect state and is fixed on the stand 2. In an embodiment of this disclosure as shown in FIG. 3, the stand 2 has at least one flange 21 disposed on a side or the periphery of each mounting hole 20, and a locking element 22 such as a screw passes through the flange 21 to fix the electrical connection module 10 on the mounting hole 20. It is noteworthy that any other equivalent fixing structure may be used to achieve the same effect.

(10) In FIG. 4, the electrical connection module 10 includes a connection body 100, and a terminal structure 101 installed in the inside of the connection body 100. The connection body 100 has a jack 100a communicating with the inside of the connection body 100 for installing the terminal structure 101 in the inside of the connection body 100 to communicate with the jack 100a. In FIG. 6, when each electrical connection module 10 is fixed on the stand 2, the data access device 3 on the rear of the stand 2 may pass through the jack 100a to couple with the electrical connection module 10 to electrically connect with the terminal structure 101 in the inside of the electrical connection module 10 for data or signal transmissions. The electrical connection module 10 may further include a transmission line group 103 electrically coupled to the ends of the terminal structure 101 to extend and connect with a host system (not shown in the figure) in a server.

(11) In FIG. 4, the terminal structure 101 includes a plurality of terminals 101a, 101b arranged in two rows (in form of double rows), and each row has a plurality of terminals 101a provided for signal transmissions and one or more power terminals 101b. The power terminals 101b in one row are defined as the positive pins (or power pins), and the power terminals 101b in the other row are defined as the negative pins (or ground pins). The ends of the power terminals 101b in each row are electrically coupled to a conductive part 102 respectively. The conductive parts 102 are spaced from each other and extended from the connection body 100. The conductive parts 102 may be electrically coupled to each power terminal 101b directly, or indirectly coupled between each battery terminal 101b and the conductive part 102 through a printed circuit board (PCB). In the embodiment of this disclosure, the quantity of power terminals 101b in each row is six. The conductive part 102 is a plate downward extended.

The wire bonding board 100b is installed on a rear end of the connection body 100 to isolate the two conductive parts 102. In other embodiments, the wire bonding board 100b may be configured by a printed circuit board (PCB). Two conductive parts 102 may be isolated by the printed circuit board, or two conductive parts 102 may be isolated by a structure integrally formed and protruding from the rear end of the connection body 100. Thus, the wire bonding board 100b may be formed by a plastic part independently as shown in the figure.
