Patent ID: 8550828

Claim:
An adaptable USB connector for USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 connector interfaces, comprising: a housing ( 10 ); a first module ( 100 ) comprising a plurality of first terminals ( 3 ) exposedly disposed in a generally elongated first insulating body ( 1 ); a second module ( 200 ) comprising a plurality of second terminals ( 4 ) exposedly disposed in a generally elongated second insulating body ( 2 ); wherein the first and second modules ( 100 , 200 ) are arranged in parallel to each other and exposedly disposed in the housing; wherein at least one of the first and second modules is pivotable with respect to the housing; wherein the first terminals of the first module are essentially coplanar in a first plane and the second terminals of the second module are essentially coplanar in a second plane; wherein when both the first and the second terminals are coplanar with respect to each other, the first and the second modules cooperatively form USB 3.0 connector interface; wherein when the first terminals are non-coplanar with respect to the second terminals, the first module separately forms USB 2.0 connector interface.
