[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the technical solutions of this application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with specific embodiments and corresponding drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0026] The technical solutions provided by the various embodiments of this application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0027] First Embodiment

[0028] This application provides a connector device that can be used in communication products, consumer electronics products, and other electronic products that require signal transmission, such as optoelectronic integrated devices in the power communication industry.

[0029] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The connector device includes a printed circuit board 110, a connector 120, and an indicator light 130. The printed circuit board 110 has a first surface and a second surface. The connector 120 is connected to the first surface of the printed circuit board 110, and the indicator light 130 is connected to the second surface of the printed circuit board 110 and electrically connected to the wires laid on the printed circuit board 110. The wires laid on the printed circuit board 110 electrically connect the connector 120 and the indicator light 130.

[0030] In this embodiment of the application, the printed circuit board 110 is used to connect the connector 120 and the indicator light 130. It can be, but is not limited to, a single-layer board, a double-layer board or a multi-layer board.

[0031] Connector 120 is connected to the first surface of printed circuit board 110. Specifically, printed circuit board 110 is provided with through holes 111 for inserting the pins of connector 120. When connecting connector 120 to the first surface of printed circuit board 110, the pins of connector 120 are first inserted into the through holes 111 of printed circuit board 110 from the first surface side of printed circuit board 110, and then the pins of connector 120 are soldered by wave soldering, so that connector 120 is soldered to the first surface of printed circuit board 110, realizing the soft soldering of mechanical and electrical connection between the pins of connector 120 and printed circuit board 110.

[0032] Wave soldering facilitates mass production of connector 120, improves the production efficiency of connector equipment, reduces processing costs, and avoids soldering quality problems such as false soldering and insufficient solder penetration.

[0033] In this embodiment, the connector 120 is wave soldered to the first surface of the printed circuit board 110. It is understood that in one or more other embodiments, the connector 120 may also be soldered to the first surface of the printed circuit board 110 or directly plugged into the first surface of the printed circuit board 110. Soldering can be used for soldering small batches of connectors 120.

[0034] In this embodiment, connector 120 may be, but is not limited to, electrical connector 120 or optoelectronic hybrid connector 120.

[0035] Indicator light 130 is soldered to the second surface. Specifically, the second surface of the printed circuit board 110 is provided with wires. During soldering, solder paste is pre-applied to the locations where the wires are located on the second surface, and the indicator light 130 is soldered to the locations where the wires are located on the second surface by reflow soldering, thereby realizing the electrical connection between indicator light 130 and connector 120.

[0036] During the soldering process, it is important to ensure that the distance between the indicator light 130 and the edge of the printed circuit board 110, as well as the distance between the indicator light 130 and the via 111 on the printed circuit board 110 with pins, meets the soldering process requirements to ensure that the indicator light 130 can correctly indicate the status of the connector 120 after soldering. For example, the distance between the indicator light 130 and the edge of the printed circuit board 110, as well as the distance between the indicator light 130 and the via 111 on the printed circuit board 110 with pins, can be set to 2mm or more, such as 2mm, 2.5mm, 3mm, etc.

[0037] By reflow soldering the indicator light 130 onto the second surface of the printed circuit board 110 where the wires are laid, it is possible to easily achieve mass soldering of the indicator light 130, improve the production efficiency of the connector equipment, reduce processing costs, and avoid soldering quality problems such as cold solder joints and insufficient solder penetration. At the same time, it is possible to achieve electrical connection between the indicator light 130 and the connector 120, so that the indicator light 130 can be used to indicate the status of the connector 120.

[0038] In this embodiment, the indicator light 130 is soldered to the second surface of the printed circuit board 110 via reflow soldering. It is understood that in one or more other embodiments, the indicator light 130 may also be soldered to the second surface of the printed circuit board 110 via soldering or directly inserted into the second surface of the printed circuit board 110. Soldering can be used for soldering small batches of indicator lights 130.

[0039] In this embodiment of the application, the indicator light 130 may be, but is not limited to, an LED light or an OLED light.

[0040] In summary, the connector device provided in this application embodiment solders the connector 120 to the first surface of the printed circuit board 110 using wave soldering, and solders the indicator light 130 to the second surface of the printed circuit board 110 using reflow soldering. The connector 120 and indicator light 130 are electrically connected via wires routed on the printed circuit board 110. Thus, the indicator light 130 can be used to indicate the status of the connector 120. Furthermore, since the connector 120 and indicator light 130 are soldered to opposite sides of the printed circuit board 110, the manufacturing process of the connector device is simpler and more convenient, improving production efficiency and reducing processing costs. Additionally, since the connector 120 and indicator light 130 are soldered using wave soldering and reflow soldering respectively, mass production of the connector device is facilitated, further improving production efficiency, reducing processing costs, and avoiding soldering quality problems such as cold solder joints and insufficient solder penetration.

The wires laid on the printed circuit board 110 electrically connect the connector 120 and the indicator light 130.

[0043] The connector 120 is soldered to the first surface of the printed circuit board 110 by soldering, and the indicator light 130 is soldered to the second surface of the printed circuit board 110 by soldering.
