Problems solved by technology

[0002] The active optical cable assembly includes an active optical cable and an active optical cable connector arranged at both ends of the active optical cable. The active optical cable connector includes a connector housing and a photoelectric conversion unit installed in the connector housing. For example, the application publication number is CN104330857 A, an active optical cable connector disclosed in a Chinese patent application with an application publication date of 2015.02.04. The front end of the active optical cable connector is an electric plug, and the connector housing and the plug housing constitute the connector housing of the connector Body assembly, the connector housing is rotated and equipped with a connecting nut, and the connecting nut connects the electrical plug housing and the connector housing together by cooperating with the external thread on the outer circumference of the rear end of the electrical plug housing, and the photoelectric conversion unit Installed in the inner cavity of the rear end of the electric plug housing, the front printed board of the photoelectric conversion unit is welded and fixed on the contact of the electric plug, and the rear printed board is fixed by filling glue, so that if the printed board fails during use , cannot be disassembled for maintenance
In order to make the photoelectric conversion unit detachable and repairable, the photoelectric conversion unit is also detachably arranged in the inner cavity of the connector housing assembly in the prior art, but due to the influence of factors such as processing errors and assembly errors, the photoelectric conversion unit and the connection The installation structure in the inner cavity of the connector housing assembly will produce a gap. When the active connector is vibrated, the photoelectric conversion unit will move axially in the connector housing assembly and collide with the connector housing assembly. Affect the reliability of the connector

Abstract

The invention relates to an active optical cable connector and an active optical cable assembly using the same. The active optical cable connector comprises a connector shell assembly and a photoelectric conversion unit arranged in an inner cavity of the connector shell assembly, wherein a stop structure is arranged in the inner cavity of the connector shell assembly in front of the photoelectric conversion unit; a pressing structure for elastically pressing the photoelectric conversion unit against the stop structure is arranged in the inner cavity of the connector shell assembly behind the photoelectric conversion unit; and the photoelectric conversion unit is elastically pressed in the inner cavity of the connector shell assembly by the pressing structure. According to the connector, the problem that the photoelectric conversion unit cannot be dismantled due to use of mucilage glue is solved; and the photoelectric conversion unit is elastically pressed, and elastic floating force can be provided when the connector is vibrated and the photoelectric conversion unit moves in the inner cavity of the connector shell assembly, so that impact and collision of the photoelectric conversion unit and the connector shell assembly are avoided and the reliability of the connector is improved.
