Abstract
A connector with improved positioning structure, comprising a casing, a connector unit and a rear unit, the casing using a transverse separating plate to separate a front cover insert hole, allowing the accommodation of two joined universal serial bus USB connector unit in an upper insert hole and a lower insert hole respectively; then a longitudinal separating plate at the center of the transverse separating plate is bent inwardly and pushed closely to a depressed groove on the connector unit, to fasten the casing with the connector unit; since the casing has only insert holes exposed from the connector unit, without using screw holes in conventional models, the entire unit is capable of avoiding such problem of incorrect alignment of screw holes with connector's insert holes as can be found frequently in conventional machining process.
