[0001] The invention belongs to the field of connectors, and in particular relates to a shielded high-speed expansion bus connector. Background Art

[0002] Electronic and IT products require faster and faster transmission speeds, and products must be compatible with older versions while being updated. For example, the physical interface standards of PCIE slot connectors have not changed between PCIE 4.0 and PCIE 5.0, but the transmission speed of PCIE 5.0 has doubled. The transmission speed of PCIE 6.0 in the future will be doubled compared to PCIE 5.0, which places higher requirements on connector design to meet the increase in transmission speed.

[0003] Chinese patent CN202210537972.9 discloses a high-speed electrical connector, including an insulating body and a plurality of metal terminals and shielding members fixed in the insulating body. The middle of the top surface of the insulating body is concave in the longitudinal direction to form a central slot, and there are terminal accommodating holes on both sides of the central slot. There are shielding member side receiving grooves along the longitudinal direction of the insulating body on both sides of the bottom surface width direction of the insulating body. The insulating body is also provided with grounding plate accommodating grooves at some positions, and the grounding plate accommodating grooves are located between the terminal accommodating holes and the shielding member side receiving grooves and are connected to the terminal accommodating holes and the shielding member side receiving grooves. The metal terminal includes a plurality of grounding terminals and a plurality of signal terminals. The shielding member includes a bottom sheet and two side sheets, both of which are in a hollow state, the bottom sheet connects the longitudinal bottom edges of the two side sheets, the side sheets include an upper side, a lower side, and a side connecting sheet connecting the upper side and the lower side, the upper side and the lower side have absorbing sheets, and the lower side also has a grounding sheet.

[0004] The high-speed electrical connector greatly improves the resonance in high-frequency state, greatly reduces the loss of signal transmission, and greatly improves the signal integrity performance of the electrical connector, which can meet the needs of higher transmission rates. However, each grounding terminal of the high-speed electrical connector only contacts one grounding plate, and the height of each grounding plate is the same.

The retaining portion 23 is retained in the terminal accommodating hole 12 of the insulating body 1.

[0023] The shielding member 3 includes a bottom sheet 31 and two side sheets 32.

Specifically, the upper portion of the retaining portion 23 of one grounding terminal G contacts one grounding plate 321, and the lower portion of the retaining portion 23 of the other grounding terminal G contacts the other grounding plate 321 (or the upper portion of the retaining portion 23 of one grounding terminal G contacts one grounding plate 321, and the middle portion of the retaining portion 23 of the other grounding terminal G contacts the other grounding plate 321; or the lower portion of the retaining portion 23 of one grounding terminal G contacts one grounding plate 321, and the middle portion of the retaining portion 23 of the other grounding terminal G contacts the other grounding plate 321); at the place where there is only one grounding terminal G, the upper portion, lower portion, or middle portion of the retaining portion 23 of one grounding terminal G contacts one grounding plate 321.

[0025] The side piece 32 includes an upper side 32a, a lower side 32b and a side connecting piece 32c connecting the upper side 32a and the lower side 32b. The grounding piece 321 contacting the upper part of the holding part 23 is connected to the upper side 32a, and the grounding piece 321 contacting the lower part of the holding part 23 is connected to the lower side 32b.

[0026] The grounding plate 321 connected to the lower edge 32 b is bent around the bottom of the partition wall 14 and extends from the bottom of the terminal accommodating hole 12 that accommodates the grounding terminal G into the terminal accommodating hole 12 and contacts the retaining portion 23 of the grounding terminal G. A portion of the grounding plate 321 extends into the slot 15. The grounding plate 321 connected to the lower edge 32b includes a bending portion 321a, which is located below the bottom of the partition wall 14 and outside the slot 15. The outer end of the bending portion 321a is connected to the lower edge 32b of the side plate 32, and the inner end of the bending portion 321a is bent and extended upward to form a contact arm 321b. The contact arm 321b extends into the slot 15, and the inner surface of the upper end of the contact arm 321b contacts the outer surface of the retaining portion 23 of the grounding terminal G. The bending portion 321a of the grounding plate 321 is located above the welding portion 24 and the extension portion 27 of the grounding terminal G that are in contact with the contact arm 321b of the grounding plate 321.

[0027] The contact arm 321b includes an inclined section 321b1 and a contact section 321b2, the lower end of the inclined section 321b1 is connected to the inner end of the bending portion 321a, the upper end of the inclined section 321b1 is connected to the lower end of the contact section 321b2, the inner surface of the contact section 321b2 is in contact with the outer surface of the retaining portion 23 of the ground terminal G, and the lower end of the inclined section 321b1 is away from the retaining portion 23.

[0028] A side connecting piece 32c is provided between the upper side 32a and the lower side 32b at a position corresponding to only one signal terminal S. A side connecting piece 32c and two openings 32d are provided between the upper side 32a and the lower side 32b at a position corresponding to two adjacent metal terminals, which are both grounding terminals G. The two grounding terminals G correspond to the two openings 32d one by one, and the side connecting piece 32c is located between the two openings 32d. A bottom connecting piece 322 is provided between the grounding pieces 321 at positions corresponding to the grounding terminals G of the two adjacent metal terminals, connecting the bottom piece 31 and the bottom side 32b of the side piece 32. The end connecting piece 311 is connected to the bottom side 32b of the two side pieces 32. Each bending portion 321a is integrally connected to the outer end of a bottom connecting piece 322.

[0029] The upper side 32a and the lower side 32b are provided with absorbing plates 323 at positions corresponding to the two signal terminals S. The absorbing plates 323 of the upper side 32a and the lower side 32b are not directly connected and conducted, but are indirectly connected and conducted through the upper side 32a, the side connecting plate 32c and the lower side 32b. The absorbing plates 323 are hollowed out in a ring shape; the width D1 of the absorbing plates 323 along the longitudinal direction of the shielding member 3 does not exceed the spacing D2 between the two opposite sides of the two signal terminals S.

[0030] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are mainly reflected in that: at the place where two grounding terminals G are adjacent, the upper part of the retaining portion 23 of one grounding terminal G contacts a grounding plate 321, and the lower part of the retaining portion 23 of the other grounding terminal G contacts another grounding plate 321 (or the upper part of the retaining portion 23 of one grounding terminal G contacts a grounding plate 321, and the middle part of the retaining portion 23 of the other grounding terminal G contacts another grounding plate 321; or the lower part of the retaining portion 23 of one grounding terminal G contacts a grounding plate 321, and the middle part of the retaining portion 23 of the other grounding terminal G contacts another grounding plate 321); at the place where there is only one grounding terminal G, the upper part, lower part or middle part of the retaining portion 23 of one grounding terminal G contacts a grounding plate 321, so that the shielding effect is better, the resonance of the signal is reduced more effectively, and the signal transmission speed is faster, which can meet the requirements of higher transmission rate and transmission speed (such as PCIe 6.0 performance requirements); by making the bent portion 321a of the grounding sheet 321 located above the welding portion 24 of the grounding terminal G in contact with the contact arm 321b of the grounding sheet 321, if the grounding sheet 321 falls, it will be supported by the grounding terminal G, and there is no need to worry that the grounding sheet 321 will fall out and cause a short circuit of the signal terminal S; by designing the bottom sheet 31 to connect the two side sheets 32, the side sheet 32 ​​is designed to be an upper side 32a and a lower side 32b, and the side connecting sheet 32c is designed to connect the upper side 32a and the lower side 32b, and the absorbing sheet 323 is designed on the upper side 32a and the lower side 32b, and the absorbing sheet 323 is designed on the lower side 32b. The grounding sheet 321 and the bottom connecting sheet 322 are designed, and the contact position between the grounding sheet 321 and the grounding terminal G is changed, so that the absorbing sheet 323 of the upper side 32a and the lower side 32b are not directly connected and conducted but indirectly connected and conducted through the upper side 32a, the side connecting sheet 32c and the lower side 32b, and the width of the absorbing sheet 323 along the longitudinal direction of the shielding member 3 does not exceed the distance between the two opposite sides of the two signal terminals S. This improves the resonance in the high-frequency state, greatly reduces the loss of signal transmission, and greatly improves the signal integrity performance of the electrical connector, which can meet the needs of higher transmission rates.

[0031] In other embodiments, the end connecting pieces 311 at both ends of the bottom piece 31 connect the bottom piece 31 and the two side pieces 32 .

[0032] In other embodiments, Figure 15-17As shown, at a location where two grounding terminals G are adjacent, the retaining portions 23 of the two grounding terminals G both contact two grounding plates 321, specifically, the upper and lower portions of the retaining portion 23 of each grounding terminal G respectively contact one grounding plate 321 (or the upper and middle portions of the retaining portion 23 of each grounding terminal G may respectively contact one grounding plate 321; or the lower and middle portions of the retaining portion 23 of each grounding terminal G may respectively contact one grounding plate 321); at a location where there is only one grounding terminal G, the retaining portion of the grounding terminal contacts two grounding plates 321, specifically, the upper and lower portions of the retaining portion 23 of one grounding terminal G may respectively contact one grounding plate 321 (or the upper and middle portions of the retaining portion 23 of one grounding terminal G may respectively contact one grounding plate 321; or the lower and middle portions of the retaining portion 23 of one grounding terminal G may respectively contact one grounding plate 321). Because the upper and lower parts, or the upper and middle parts, or the middle and lower parts of the retaining portion 23 of each grounding terminal G are in contact with a grounding plate 321, the shielding effect is better, the resonance of the signal is reduced more effectively, and the signal transmission speed is faster, which can meet the higher requirements of transmission rate and transmission speed (such as the performance requirements of PCIe 6.0).

[0033] In other embodiments, Fig.18 As shown, at the adjacent part of the two grounding terminals G, the retaining portions of the two grounding terminals only contact one grounding sheet, and the height positions are inconsistent. Specifically, the upper portion of the retaining portion 23 of one grounding terminal G contacts one grounding sheet 321, and the lower portion of the retaining portion 23 of the other grounding terminal G contacts the other grounding sheet 321 (or the upper portion of the retaining portion 23 of one grounding terminal G contacts one grounding sheet 321, and the middle portion of the retaining portion 23 of the other grounding terminal G contacts the other grounding sheet 321; or the lower portion of the retaining portion 23 of one grounding terminal G contacts the other grounding sheet 321). The upper and lower parts of the holding part 23 of one ground terminal G respectively contact one grounding sheet 321, and the middle part of the holding part 23 of another grounding terminal G contacts another grounding sheet 321); at a location where there is only one grounding terminal G, the holding part 23 of the grounding terminal G contacts two grounding sheets 321, specifically, the upper and lower parts of the holding part 23 of one grounding terminal G respectively contact one grounding sheet 321 (or the upper and middle parts of the holding part 23 of one grounding terminal G respectively contact one grounding sheet 321; or the lower and middle parts of the holding part 23 of one grounding terminal G respectively contact one grounding sheet 321). This method can also make the shielding effect better, reduce the resonance of the signal more effectively, make the signal transmission speed faster, and meet the requirements of higher transmission rate and transmission speed (such as the performance requirements of PCIe 6.0).
