FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present disclosure relates to adapter assemblies and more particularly, to a universal adapter assembly adapted to accommodate different types of connectors.
BACKGROUND
Generally, connectors are provided to establish connection between multiple electronic devices. For instance, a connector, such as HDMI connector, may be provided for transmitting uncompressed video data and compressed or uncompressed digital audio data from an electronic device, such as HDMI-compliant source device, to another electronic device, such as compatible computer monitor. Usually, an enclosure is provided for supporting a connector and a Printed Circuit Board (PCB) coupled to the connector. The enclosure defines a housing for accommodating the PCB and an opening for receiving the connector. It is essential to provide a suitable sealing provision in the enclosure for restricting ingress of contaminants from the opening within the housing of the enclosure. The opening of the enclosure is defined between a top part and a bottom part of the housing. Based on an outer profile of the connector, size and shape of the opening needs to be varied. In particular, the top part and the bottom part are designed based on the outer profile of the connector to be supported by the enclosure. Therefore, it is difficult to deploy different type of connectors without altering dimensional characteristics of the enclosure. This results in a substantial increase in the overall cost of manufacturing for a connector assembly.
SUMMARY
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, a universal adapter assembly is disclosed. The universal adapter assembly includes an enclosure having a top member and a bottom member coupled together to define an opening. Further, the universal adapter assembly includes a Printed Circuit Board (PCB) adapted to be positioned within the enclosure. The universal adapter assembly includes an adapter sub-assembly adapted to be coupled to the enclosure. The opening of the enclosure is adapted to be covered by the adapter sub-assembly. The adapter sub-assembly comprises a mounting support adapted to be coupled to the enclosure and positioned on the

opening of the enclosure. A connector is mounted on the mounting support and partially inserted within the opening of the enclosure.

The mounting support 402 may be positioned on the opening of the enclosure 202 in a manner that the opening 408 of the mounting support 402 aligns with the opening of the enclosure 202. Further, referring to Figure 6a and 6b, the connector 212 may be adapted to be inserted through the opening 408 and subsequently, coupled to the mounting support 402 of the adapter 204 via a plurality of fasteners.
In an embodiment, dimensional and constructional characteristic of the opening 408 of the adapter may vary based on a type of the connector 212 to be deployed in the universal adapter assembly 100. For instance, in an embodiment, a length 'L' and a width 'W of the opening 408 of the mounting support 402 may vary based on a shape and a size of the connector 212 to be supported on the mounting support 402. In an example, the mounting support 402 may include the opening 408 having the length 'L' of 44 mm and the width 'W of 24.5 mm to support the connector 212, such as 36 Pin Molex Connector, without departing from the scope of the present disclosure.
Figures 7a, 7b, and 7c illustrate an exemplary connector coupled to the adapter 204 of the universal adapter assembly 100, according to another embodiment of the present. In the

illustrated embodiment, the mounting support 402 of the adapter 204 may include an opening 408-1 for supporting a connector 212-1. The dimensional characteristics of the opening 408-1 may be selected based on the size of the connector 212-1 to be supported on the adapter 204.

The cut-out sections of the support members 902, 904 together conform with the outer profile of the connectors 212-3, 212-4. In an embodiment, a sealing material may be applied on the outer profile of the connectors 212-3, 212-4. Subsequently, each of the support members 902, 904 may be snap-fitted around the

connectors 212-3, 212-4 such that the cut-out sections of the support members 902, 904 abut the outer profile of the connectors 212-3, 212-4. Such arrangement of the support members 902, 904 substantially prevents ingress of contaminates within the universal adapter assembly 100.
In the illustrated embodiments, for different type of connectors, the outer profile of the support members 902, 904 may remain same and the profile of the cut-out sections may vary based on the shape of the connector to be deployed in the universal adapter assembly 100. Referring to Figure 9a and 10a, the outer profile of the support members 902, 904 is same for supporting different type of connectors in the universal adapter assembly 100. Although, the profile of the cut-out sections depicted in Figure 9a is different from the profile of the cut-out sections depicted in Figure 10a.
