Abstract
An RJ45 connector device having a key structure for changing pin definitions is provided. The RJ45 connector device includes a conversion processor, a key, an information processor, and output pins. When the key is pressed to trigger a conversion signal, the conversion processor first converts a part of input information into relay information. Then, according to the conversion signal, the information processor converts the input information and the relay information into output information through designated processing and then output the output information through the output pins, so as to solve the problem that various connector devices occupy a lot of the available space of an electronic device when being used, thereby saving the available space of the electronic device and enabling a single connector device to achieve technical effects of a multi-functional connector device in terms of switching pin definitions.
