International Classification:

H01R 2500

US Classification:

439 11, 439638

Abstract:

A connector adapter that can be used to directly connect a peripheral device to a host device. The connector adapter is adjustable so as to allow selective reorientation of the peripheral with respect to the host device. The connector adapter includes a limiting mechanism that restricts the degree to which the adapter can be selectively rotated. In addition, the adapter includes an indexing mechanism that allows the position of the adapter to be locked in predetermined positions.

International Classification:

H01R 1360

US Classification:

4395415

Abstract:

An electrical connector assembly ( ) includes a D-Sub connector ( ), a triplex audio jack connector ( ), and a board edge connector ( ) all mounted to a sound card ( ), the whole being assembled into a connector housing ( ) having a rear cover ( ) with a shielding plate ( ). The board edge connector is mountable to a motherboard ( ). The result is a sound package including sound card and connectors which takes up less space on the motherboard than separate sound card and connectors. The new connector assembly with internal sound card thus results in greater efficiency.
