Patent ID: 8358106

Claim:
An AC and DC dual input charger, comprising: a charger receptacle having: a cover mated with a base to define an accommodating chamber therebetween, the cover further defining a receiving cavity with a front and a top being freely opened, the receiving cavity and the accommodating chamber being separated from each other by a separating wall therebetween, a printed circuit board assembly received in the accommodating chamber and defining an AC charging circuit and a DC charging circuit, at least two AC input components each having a connecting slice, an inserting pillar fastened on the connecting slice and a soldering arm extended from a bottom end of the connecting slice, the connecting slice being mounted in the separating wall of the cover and the inserting pillar passing through the separating wall to stretch into the receiving cavity, the soldering arm being inserted in the printed circuit board assembly to be electrically connected with the AC charging circuit, at least two DC input components each having a fastening portion fastened under the bottom base of the receiving cavity, a side of the fastening portion being bent to form a soldering portion inserted in the printed circuit board assembly to be electrically connected with the DC charging circuit, an end of the fastening portion being arched oppositely to the soldering portion to form a contact portion passing through the bottom base to elastically stretch into the receiving cavity, and an output member mounted on the printed circuit board assembly and exposed out of the cover; and a plug connector assembly having an AC plug and a DC plug, wherein the AC plug and the DC plug can be alternately inserted in the receiving cavity of the charger receptacle, the AC plug can be electrically connected with the inserting pillars of the AC input components to provide an AC charging power, and the DC plug can be electrically connected with the contact portions of the DC input components to provide a DC charging power; wherein the DC plug includes a connecting part capable of being received in the receiving cavity of the cover, the connecting part includes a plug body and two contact slices which are mounted in the plug body and exposed to a bottom surface of the plug body so as to electrically contact the corresponding contact portions of the DC input components, a rear of the plug body defines two avoiding holes spaced from each other for receiving the corresponding inserting pillars of the AC input components therein.
