[0046] The present application provides a communication cable for pluggable connection to a conductive seat, the communication cable comprising a cable component, a grounding conductive component, a signal conductive terminal and an insulating plastic-coated component; the cable component comprises a signal line, a cable sheath wrapped around the signal line, and a conductive copper foil wrapped around the cable sheath, wherein a portion of the signal line protrudes from the surface of the cable sheath and abuts against the signal conductive terminal; the grounding conductive component abuts against the conductive copper foil, and the grounding conductive component is used to abut against the plug-in inner wall of the conductive seat; the insulating plastic-coated component is at least respectively formed at the abutment point between the grounding conductive component and the conductive copper foil and the abutment point between the signal conductive terminal and the signal line, a portion of the signal conductive terminal and a portion of the grounding conductive component are both exposed from the insulating plastic-coated component, the portion of the signal conductive terminal exposed from the insulating plastic-coated component is used to elastically abut against the signal contact piece of the substrate, and the portion of the grounding conductive component exposed from the insulating plastic-coated component is used to elastically abut against the ground contact piece of the substrate.
[0047] In the above-mentioned communication cable, since the grounding conductive component abuts against the conductive copper foil, and the grounding conductive component abuts against the plug-in inner wall of the conductive seat, the insulating plastic-coated component is formed at the abutment between the grounding conductive component and the conductive copper foil, so that the grounding conductive component and the conductive copper foil can reliably abut and conduct electricity, and at the same time, the grounding conductive component and the conductive copper foil are simultaneously fixed and positioned on the insulating plastic-coated component. Since the insulating plastic-coated component is also formed at the abutment between the signal conductive terminal and the signal line, the signal conductive terminal and the signal line can reliably abut and conduct electricity, and at the same time, the signal conductive terminal and the signal line are simultaneously fixed to the insulating plastic-coated component, so that the grounding conductive component and the signal conductive terminal are reliably separated. The arrangement is such that, since the part of the grounding conductive component exposed from the insulating plastic-coated component elastically abuts against the grounding contact piece of the substrate, the grounding conductive component is reliably grounded through the grounding contact piece, and the part of the signal conductive terminal exposed from the insulating plastic-coated component elastically abuts against the signal contact piece of the substrate, the signal conductive terminal reliably transmits the signal, thereby realizing closed-loop transmission of the signal of the communication cable; since the communication cable is pluggable and connected to the conductive seat, the communication cable can be detachably connected to the conductive seat, thereby realizing reliable installation and fixation of the communication cable and the conductive seat, and facilitating the disassembly and replacement of the communication cable, thereby solving the problem of poor ease of use of the communication connection assembly.
[0048] To better understand the technical solutions and beneficial effects of the present application, the present application is further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments:
[0049] like Figures 1 to 3The communication connection assembly 10 of one embodiment includes a substrate 100, a conductive base 200, and a communication cable 300. The substrate 100 is provided with the signal contact piece 110 and the ground contact piece 120, respectively. The conductive base 200 is connected to the substrate 100. The conductive base 200 is connected to the substrate 100. The conductive base 200 is provided with an insertion slot 202.
[0050] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, further, the communication cable 300 is used to be pluggable and connected to the conductive base 200, so that the communication cable 300 can be detachably connected to the conductive base 200 to facilitate the disassembly or replacement of the communication cable 300. Figure 5 and Figure 6 Furthermore, the communication cable 300 includes a cable assembly 310, a grounding conductive component 320, a signal conductive terminal 330, and an insulating overmolded component 340. The cable assembly 310 includes a signal line 312, a cable sheath 314 wrapped around the signal line 312, and a conductive copper foil 316 wrapped around the cable sheath 314. A portion of the signal line protrudes from the surface of the cable sheath and abuts the signal conductive terminal 330. The grounding conductive component 320 abuts the conductive copper foil 316 and is configured to abut the inner plugging wall of the conductive base 200, electrically connecting the conductive copper foil 316 to the conductive base 200 through the grounding conductive component 320. In this embodiment, the grounding conductive component 320 is at least partially located on the surface of the communication cable 300, allowing the communication cable 300 to abut the inner plugging wall of the conductive base 200 when inserted into the plug slot 202, thereby achieving reliable electrical connection and grounding between the conductive base 200 and the communication cable 300. The grounding conductive component 320 is located in the plug-in slot 202 and abuts against the plug-in inner wall of the conductive seat 200 , so that the grounding conductive component 320 and the conductive seat 200 are in contact and electrically connected.
[0051] like Figure 3 、 Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, further, the insulating overmolded component 340 is formed at least at the abutment between the ground conductive component 320 and the conductive copper foil 316, and the abutment between the signal conductive terminal 330 and the signal line 312, so that the abutment between the ground conductive component 320 and the conductive copper foil 316, and the abutment between the signal conductive terminal 330 and the signal line 312 are fixedly positioned on the insulating overmolded component 340. Figure 6 and Figure 8As shown, portions of the signal conductive terminals 330 and the ground conductive component 320 are both exposed from the insulating overmolded component 340. The portion of the signal conductive terminals 330 exposed from the insulating overmolded component 340 is used to elastically abut against the signal contact sheet 110 of the substrate 100, electrically connecting the signal conductive terminals 330 and the signal contact sheet 110 to achieve reliable signal transmission. The portion of the ground conductive component 320 exposed from the insulating overmolded component 340 is used to elastically abut against the ground contact sheet 120 of the substrate 100, electrically connecting the ground conductive component 320 and the ground contact sheet 120 to achieve reliable grounding.
[0052] In the above-mentioned communication cable 300 and communication connection assembly 10, since the grounding conductive component 320 abuts against the conductive copper foil 316, and the grounding conductive component 320 abuts against the plug-in inner wall of the conductive seat 200, the insulating overmolding component 340 is formed at the abutment between the grounding conductive component 320 and the conductive copper foil 316, so that the grounding conductive component 320 and the conductive copper foil 316 can reliably abut and conduct electricity, and at the same time, the grounding conductive component 320 and the conductive copper foil 316 are simultaneously fixed and positioned on the insulating overmolding component 340. Moreover, since the insulating overmolding component 340 is also formed at the abutment between the signal conductive terminal 330 and the signal line 312, the signal conductive terminal 330 and the signal line 312 can reliably abut and conduct electricity, and at the same time, the signal conductive terminal 330 and the signal line 312 are simultaneously fixed on the insulating overmolding component 340, so that the grounding conductive component 320 and the signal conductive component The terminals 330 are reliably separated and arranged, and since the part of the grounding conductive component 320 exposed from the insulating overmolded component 340 elastically abuts against the grounding contact piece 120 of the substrate 100, the grounding conductive component 320 is reliably grounded through the grounding contact piece 120, and the part of the signal conductive terminal 330 exposed from the insulating overmolded component 340 elastically abuts against the signal contact piece 110 of the substrate 100, the signal conductive terminal 330 reliably transmits the signal, thereby realizing closed-loop transmission of the signal of the communication cable 300; since the communication cable 300 is pluggable and connected to the conductive seat 200, the communication cable 300 is detachably connected to the conductive seat 200, realizing reliable installation and fixation of the communication cable 300 and the conductive seat 200, and facilitating the disassembly and replacement of the communication cable 300, thereby solving the problem of poor ease of use of the communication connection assembly 10.
[0053] like Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown, in one embodiment, the grounding conductive component 320 includes a connected grounding sleeve 322 and a grounding abutment 326. The grounding sleeve 322 abuts the conductive copper foil 316. The insulating overmolded component 340 is formed at least at the abutment points between the signal conductive terminal 330 and the signal line 312, and at the abutment points between the grounding sleeve 322 and the conductive copper foil 316. This ensures that the abutment points between the signal conductive terminal 330 and the signal line 312, and between the grounding sleeve 322 and the conductive copper foil 316, are both fixed to the insulating overmolding component. The grounding abutment 326 is configured to elastically abut the grounding contact piece 120, ensuring that the grounding sleeve 322 is reliably grounded via the grounding abutment 326.
[0054] like Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment, the grounding sleeve 322 and the grounding contact portion 326 are integrally formed, so that the grounding sleeve 322 and the grounding contact portion 326 are firmly connected, and the structure of the grounding conductive component 320 is relatively compact. In this embodiment, the grounding sleeve 322 and the grounding contact portion 326 are integrally stamped and formed, so that the structure of the grounding conductive component 320 is relatively compact and easy to manufacture and form. And / or, see also Figure 7 In one embodiment, the signal conductive terminal 330 and the signal line 312 are welded together at their abutment points, ensuring reliable contact and electrical conduction between the signal conductive terminal 330 and the signal line 312. In one embodiment, the insulating overmolding component 340 is also molded onto the outer wall of the grounding sheath 322, allowing the grounding sheath 322 to better abut against the conductive copper foil 316. This prevents vibration of the communication cable 300 and prevents the grounding sheath 322 from failing to properly abut against the surface of the conductive copper foil 316, thereby improving the reliability of the abutment between the grounding sheath 322 and the conductive copper foil 316. Furthermore, the insulating overmolding component 340 fills the gap between the grounding sheath 322 and the conductive copper foil 316, ensuring that the grounding sheath 322 and the conductive copper foil 316 are also positioned relative to each other by the insulating overmolding component 340 outside of the abutment points. This ensures better abutment between the grounding sheath 322 and the conductive copper foil 316 at their abutment points, thereby improving the structural strength of the communication cable 300.
[0055] To facilitate the welding and fixing of the contact portion between the signal conductive terminal 330 and the signal line 312, as shown in FIG. Figures 3 to 6As shown, further, the grounding covering sleeve 322 is provided with a bare window 322a, and the welding portion of the signal conductive terminal 330 and the signal line 312 at the joint is arranged corresponding to the bare window 322a, so that the welding auxiliary fixture supports the signal conductive terminal 330 and the signal line 312 through the bare window 322a during the welding process of the signal conductive terminal 330 and the signal line 312, thereby improving the efficiency and reliability of the welding of the signal conductive terminal 330 and the signal line 312.
[0056] like Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment, the insulating overmolded component 340 is further formed between the signal conductive terminal 330 and the grounding sheath 322. This allows the insulating overmolded component 340 to secure and support both the signal conductive terminal 330 and the grounding sheath 322, while also reliably separating the grounding sheath 322 from the signal conductive terminal 330 and the grounding contact portion 326 from the signal conductive terminal 330. To ensure a secure connection between the insulating overmolded component 340 and the grounding sheath 322, the insulating overmolded component 340 is further partially positioned within the open window and fixedly connected to the grounding sheath 322, ensuring a secure connection and positioning between the insulating overmolded component 340 and the grounding sheath 322.
[0057] like Figure 5 、 Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, in one embodiment, the insulating overmolding component 340 is provided with a first hollowed-out groove 3402 at the location of the bare window 322a to reduce the impedance generated by the communication cable 300 during signal transmission, thereby improving the signal transmission speed of the communication cable 300. In this embodiment, the signal conductive terminal 330 is exposed within the first hollowed-out groove 3402, achieving reliable signal transmission and better reducing the impedance generated during signal transmission. Furthermore, the insulating overmolding component 340 is provided with a second hollowed-out groove 3404 at the location away from the bare window 322a. The second hollowed-out groove 3404 and the first hollowed-out groove 3402 are respectively located on either side of the signal conductive terminal 330, further reducing the impedance generated by the communication cable 300 during signal transmission and improving the signal transmission speed of the communication cable 300.
[0058] In order to make the insulating plastic package 340 better cover the outer wall of the grounding cover 322, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 and Figure 6As shown, further, the portion of the insulating overmolded component 340 located at the bare window 322a is a first overmolded portion 342, and the portion of the insulating overmolded component 340 molded onto the outer wall of the grounding sheath 322 is a second overmolded portion 344. The first overmolded portion 342 and the second overmolded portion 344 are fixedly connected, allowing the insulating overmolded component 340 to better cover the outer circumferential wall of the grounding sheath 322. Furthermore, the first overmolded portion 342 and the second overmolded portion 344 are integrally injection-molded, ensuring a secure and fixed connection between the first overmolded portion 342 and the second overmolded portion 344. In this embodiment, the first overmolded portion 342 and the second overmolded portion 344 can also be molded separately and secured by gluing.
[0059] It is understood that in other embodiments, the grounding sleeve 322 is not limited to being grounded by the connected grounding contact portion contacting the grounding contact piece 120. Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, in one embodiment, the grounding conductive component 320 includes a grounding cover 322 and a grounding conductive spring 324, the grounding conductive spring 324 abuts against the conductive copper foil 316, and Figures 12 to 14 The grounding sleeve 322 covers and presses against the surface of the grounding conductive spring 324 facing away from the conductive copper foil 316, so that the grounding sleeve 322 fixes the grounding conductive spring 324 to the surface of the conductive copper foil 316, so that the conductive copper foil 316 and the grounding sleeve 322 are both electrically connected to the grounding conductive spring, thereby abutting the grounding conductive component 320 against the conductive copper foil 316. The insulating overmolding component 340 is formed at least at the abutment points between the signal conductive terminal 330 and the signal line 312, and the abutment points between the grounding conductive spring 324 and the conductive copper foil 316, so that the abutment points between the signal conductive terminal 330 and the signal line 312, and the abutment points between the grounding conductive spring 324 and the conductive copper foil 316 are both fixed to the insulating overmolding component 340, thereby ensuring that the conductive copper foil 316 and the grounding sleeve 322 are both reliably electrically connected to the grounding conductive spring. The grounding conductive spring 324 is partially exposed from the insulating molded component 340 . The grounding conductive spring 324 exposed from the insulating molded component 340 is used to elastically abut against the grounding contact piece 120 , so that the grounding conductive component 320 abuts against the grounding contact piece 120 .
[0060] In order to ensure that the grounding conductive spring 324 is reliably in contact with the conductive copper foil 316, Figure 13 and Figure 14As shown, the grounding conductive spring 324 further includes a connected conductive spring body 324a and a first abutting portion 324b. The first abutting portion 324b is provided with an abutting protrusion 3242. The abutting protrusion 3242 abuts the surface of the conductive copper foil 316, ensuring that the grounding conductive spring 324 securely abuts the conductive copper foil 316. To ensure that the conductive spring 324 is more securely positioned and abutted against the conductive copper foil 316, in one embodiment, the cable assembly 310 further includes an insulating protective sleeve 318. The insulating protective sleeve 318 covers the conductive copper foil 316. The conductive copper foil 316 is partially exposed outside the insulating protective sleeve 318 and abuts against the abutting protrusion 3242, thereby abutting the conductive copper foil 316 and providing insulation protection for the conductive copper foil 316. In this embodiment, the conductive spring body is tightly wrapped around the outer wall of the insulating protective sleeve. Furthermore, the grounding conductive spring 324 also includes a second abutting portion 324c connected to the conductive spring body 324a. The second abutting portion 324c and the first abutting portion 324b are respectively located on both sides of the insulating protective sleeve. The second abutting portion 324c and the first abutting portion 324b both abut against the outer surface of the conductive copper foil 316.
[0061] In order to make the abutting protrusion 3242 better abut against the surface of the conductive copper foil 316, as shown in FIG. Figure 11 As shown, the insulating overmolded component 340 further fills the gap between the grounding conductive spring 324 and the conductive copper foil 316 , so that the abutting protrusion 3242 better abuts against the surface of the conductive copper foil 316 , thereby improving the structural strength of the communication cable 300 .
[0062] like Figure 11 As shown, in one embodiment, the insulating overmolded component 340 is also molded onto the outer wall of the grounding sheath 322, allowing the grounding sheath 322 to better contact the conductive spring body 324a. This prevents vibration of the communication cable 300 and prevents the grounding sheath 322 from contacting the surface of the conductive copper foil 316, thereby improving the reliability of the contact between the grounding sheath 322 and the conductive spring body 324a. Furthermore, in one embodiment, the contact area between the signal conductive terminal 330 and the signal line 312 is welded and fixed, ensuring reliable contact and electrical conduction between the signal conductive terminal 330 and the signal line 312.
[0063] To facilitate the welding and fixing of the contact portion between the signal conductive terminal 330 and the signal line 312, as shown in FIG. Figure 11As shown, further, the grounding covering sleeve 322 is provided with a bare window 322a, and the welding portion of the signal conductive terminal 330 and the signal line 312 at the joint is arranged corresponding to the bare window 322a, so that the welding auxiliary fixture supports the signal conductive terminal 330 and the signal line 312 through the bare window 322a during the welding process of the signal conductive terminal 330 and the signal line 312, thereby improving the efficiency and reliability of the welding of the signal conductive terminal 330 and the signal line 312.
[0064] like Figure 11 As shown, in one embodiment, the insulating overmolded component 340 is further formed between the grounding conductive spring 324 and the grounding sheath 322. This allows the insulating overmolded component 340 to secure and support both the grounding conductive spring 324 and the grounding sheath 322, while also reliably separating the grounding sheath 322 and the signal conductive terminals 330. To ensure a secure connection between the insulating overmolded component 340 and the grounding sheath 322, the insulating overmolded component 340 is further partially positioned within the bare window and fixedly connected to the grounding sheath 322, ensuring a secure connection and positioning between the insulating overmolded component 340 and the grounding sheath 322.
[0065] like Figure 11 As shown, in one embodiment, the insulating overmolded component 340 is provided with a first hollowed groove 3402 at the portion of the bare window 322a to reduce the impedance generated by the communication cable 300 during signal transmission, thereby improving the signal transmission speed of the communication cable 300. In this embodiment, the signal conductive terminal 330 is exposed in the first hollowed groove 3402, achieving reliable signal transmission and better reducing the impedance generated during signal transmission. See also Figure 10 Furthermore, a second hollow groove 3404 is provided in the portion of the insulating overmolded component 340 away from the bare window 322a. The second hollow groove 3404 and the first hollow groove 3402 are respectively located on both sides of the signal conductive terminal 330, further reducing the impedance generated by the communication cable 300 during signal transmission, while improving the signal transmission speed of the communication cable 300.
[0066] like Figure 3 and Figure 11 As shown, in one embodiment, the communication cable 300 is fixedly located in the plug-in slot 202 , so that the communication cable 300 can be reliably plugged in and out of the plug-in slot 202 .
[0067] like Figure 3As shown, in one embodiment, the conductive seat 200 is provided with a limiting groove 204 connected to the plug-in slot 202, and the grounding conductive component 320 is inserted into the limiting groove 204, and the grounding conductive component 320 is located at the outer periphery of the conductive seat 200. An anti-slip abutment portion 321 is provided, and the anti-slip abutment portion 321 abuts against the outer wall of the conductive seat 200 to prevent the grounding conductive component 320 from slipping out of the limiting groove 204, so that the anti-slip abutment portion 321 is reliably limited to the outside of the conductive seat 200. In this embodiment, the anti-slip abutment portion 321 is a bending part, which makes the structure of the anti-slip abutment portion 321 simpler and has an anti-slip effect. It can be understood that in other embodiments, the anti-slip abutment portion 321 is not limited to a bending part, but can also be an anti-slip fastener. And / or, see also Figure 15 In one embodiment, the inner wall of the plug slot 202 is provided with a stopper 202a. The stopper 202a abuts against the insulating overmolded assembly 340, thereby retaining the insulating overmolded assembly 340 within the plug slot 202. This ensures that the conductive cable is reliably stopped when plugged into the plug slot 202. In this embodiment, the stopper 202a is a stopper ridge. It is understood that in other embodiments, the stopper 202a may also be a stopper groove or other stopper structure.
[0068] It is understood that in other embodiments, the conductive cable is not limited to being assembled and positioned by the anti-dropping abutment portion 321 and the stop portion 202a. Figure 11 As shown, for example, in one embodiment, the inner wall of the plug-in slot 202 is provided with a protruding anti-slip member 202b. The anti-slip member 202b abuts the side of the insulating overmolded component 340 facing away from the grounding contact piece 120 to prevent the insulating overmolded component 340 from being accidentally removed from the plug-in slot 202, thereby preventing it from being accidentally removed. In this embodiment, the anti-slip member 202b is a spring or other anti-slip structure. And / or, in one embodiment, the inner wall of the plug-in slot 202 is provided with a positioning groove 202c, and the grounding conductive component 320 abuts the positioning groove 202c. The position where the grounding conductive component abuts the positioning groove 202c is located on the side of the insulating overmolded component 340 facing the grounding contact piece 120, so that the grounding conductive component abuts and stops within the positioning groove 202c. In this way, the combined action of the positioning groove 202c and the anti-slip member 202b allows the conductive cable to be more securely assembled within the plug-in slot 202. In this embodiment, the grounding covering sleeve 322 abuts against and stops in the positioning groove 202 c, so that the grounding conductive component abuts against and stops in the positioning groove 202 c.
[0069] like Figure 1 and Figure 1aAs shown, further, a connecting stud 216 is provided at the bottom of the conductive base 200 adjacent to the substrate 100. The substrate 100 is provided with a connecting hole 102. The connecting stud 216 is located within the connecting hole 102 and plugs into the substrate 100, providing a secure connection and preventing the conductive base 200 from moving relative to the substrate 100. This allows the portion of the signal conductive terminal 330 exposed from the insulating overmolded component 340 to reliably and elastically abut against the signal contact piece 110, while also allowing the portion of the ground conductive component 320 exposed from the insulating overmolded component 340 to reliably and elastically abut against the ground contact piece 120. In this embodiment, there are two connecting studs 216 and two connecting holes 102, each of which is located within one of the two connecting holes 102. In one embodiment, there are multiple communication cables 300 and multiple plug-in slots, and the multiple communication cables 300 are plugged into the multiple plug-in slots in a one-to-one correspondence. The line connecting the two connecting studs 216 is parallel to the direction in which the multiple communication cables 300 are arranged side by side. To ensure a smoother surface when connected to the substrate 100, the conductive base 200 is further provided with positioning studs 218 at the bottom adjacent to the substrate 100. The substrate 100 is provided with positioning holes 104. There are two positioning studs 218 and two positioning holes 104, respectively, with the two positioning studs 218 inserted into the two positioning holes 104. Because there are two connecting studs 216 and two connecting holes 102, respectively, with the two connecting studs 216 located in the two connecting holes 102 and the two positioning studs 218 inserted into the two positioning holes 104, the conductive base 200 is positioned on the substrate 100. The plurality of communication cables 300 are arranged in two rows, with the line connecting the two connecting protrusions 216 being parallel to the direction in which the plurality of communication cables 300 are arranged side by side, and the arrangement direction of the two positioning protrusions 218 being parallel to the arrangement direction of the two connecting protrusions 216. This ensures that the surfaces connecting the conductive base 200 and the substrate 100 are located on the same plane, and the connection between the conductive base 200 and the substrate 100 is highly precise. This allows the portion of the signal conductive terminal 330 exposed from the insulating overmolded component 340 to reliably and elastically abut against the signal contact piece 110, and also allows the portion of the ground conductive component 320 exposed from the insulating overmolded component 340 to reliably and elastically abut against the ground contact piece 120. It will be understood that in other embodiments, the conductive base 200 is not limited to being fixed to the substrate 100 via the connecting protrusions 216 and the positioning protrusions 218. For example, the communication connection assembly 10 also includes a locking piece. The substrate 100 has a mounting hole 106 , and the conductive seat 200 has a connecting hole 206 . The locking piece is respectively passed through the connecting hole and the mounting hole to lock and fix the conductive seat 200 on the substrate 100 .
[0070] like Figure 11 and Figure 13As shown, further, the outer wall of the grounding conductive component 320 is provided with a protruding abutment ridge 323. The protruding abutment ridge 323 abuts the inner wall of the plug-in slot 202, allowing the grounding conductive component 320 to elastically abut against the conductive base 200, thereby better inserting the communication cable 300 into the plug-in slot 202. The portion of the grounding conductive component 320 exposed by the insulating overmolded component 340 also abuts against the inner wall of the plug-in slot 202. In this embodiment, the protruding abutment ridge 323 is provided on the grounding sheath 322, which can be a conductive metal member. Specifically, there are two protruding abutment ridges 323, one on each side of the grounding sheath 322.
[0071] like Figure 8 As shown, further, the insulating plastic-coating component 340 is provided with a limiting groove 345, and the grounding covering sleeve 322 is provided with a bending limiting portion 322b. The grounding covering sleeve 322 is covered on the insulating plastic-coating component 340, and the bending limiting portion 322b is bent and is located in the limiting groove 345, which plays a role of fixed limitation.
[0072] like Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, the insulating overmolding assembly 340 further includes a first insulating covering member 340a and a second insulating covering member 340b. The first insulating covering member 340a includes a first overmolding portion 342 and a second overmolding portion 344. The first overmolding portion 342 covers the abutment between the signal conductive terminal 330 and the signal line 312, and the abutment between the grounding covering sleeve 322 and the conductive copper foil 316. The second overmolding portion 344 covers the grounding conductive spring 324 and the signal conductive terminal 330, respectively, so that the grounding conductive spring 324 and the signal conductive terminal 330 are spaced apart. At the same time, it provides good support and fixation for both the grounding conductive spring 324 and the signal conductive terminal 330, so that the insulating overmolding assembly 340 is formed at least at the abutment between the grounding conductive assembly 320 and the conductive copper foil 316, and the abutment between the signal conductive terminal 330 and the signal line 312. In this embodiment, the first insulating covering 340a and the second insulating covering 340b can both be plastic coverings or rubber coverings, so that the first insulating covering 340a and the second insulating covering 340b have good insulation performance. The limiting groove 345 is formed in the second insulating covering 227a.
[0073] like Figure 3 and Figure 6As shown, the signal conductive terminal 330 further includes a connected signal conductive terminal body 332 and a contact portion 334. The signal conductive terminal body 332 is welded to the signal line 312. The insulating overmolding assembly 340 covers the weld between the signal conductive terminal body 332 and the signal line 312. The contact portion 334 elastically contacts the signal contact sheet 110, electrically connecting the contact portion 334 to the signal contact sheet 110. In this embodiment, the width of the signal conductive terminal body 332 gradually decreases as it approaches the contact portion 334. Due to the difference in conductivity between the portion of the signal conductive terminal body 332 exposed outside the insulating overmolding assembly 340 and the portion covered by the insulating overmolding assembly 340, the width of the signal conductive terminal body 332 gradually decreases as it approaches the contact portion 334, thereby improving the conductivity uniformity of the entire signal conductive terminal 330 and thus enabling the signal conductive terminal 330 to transmit signals effectively. Furthermore, the two signal lines 312 of the cable component 310 of each communication cable 300 are arranged in parallel, and correspondingly, the two signal conductive terminals 330 are arranged in parallel, so that the two signal lines 312 and the two signal conductive terminals 330 are arranged equidistantly and in parallel, making the structure of the communication cable 300 more compact and enabling better signal transmission.
[0074] like Figure 3 As shown, the conductive base 200 can be a metal base, which provides the conductive base 200 with good conductivity and structural strength. In order to ensure that the communication cable 300 is reliably plugged into and abutted against the plug slot 202, the plug slot 202 is further configured as an inclined slot structure, so that the area of the communication cable 300 inserted into the plug slot 202 and abutting against the conductive base 200 is larger. Furthermore, the conductive seat 200 includes a conductive seat body 200a and a plug-in extension plate 200b, the plug-in slot 202 is opened on the conductive seat body 200a, the plane where the extension direction of the plug-in extension plate 200b is located is parallel to the extension direction of the plug-in slot 202, and the plug-in extension plate 200b and the inner wall of the plug-in extension plate 200b and the plug-in slot 202 are formed with a plug-in extension port 211, the plug-in extension port 211 is connected to the plug-in slot 202, so that the communication cable 300 is inserted into the plug-in slot 202 through the plug-in extension port 211, and the grounding conductive component 320 is respectively in contact with the plug-in extension plate 200b and the conductive seat body 200a, thereby making the area of contact between the communication cable 300 and the conductive seat 200 larger.
[0075] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has at least the following advantages:
[0076] 1) In the communication cable 300 described above, since the grounding conductive component 320 abuts against the conductive copper foil 316, and the grounding conductive component 320 abuts against the plug-in inner wall of the conductive base 200, the insulating plastic-coated component 340 is formed at the abutment between the grounding conductive component 320 and the conductive copper foil 316, so that the grounding conductive component 320 and the conductive copper foil 316 can reliably abut and conduct electricity, and at the same time, the grounding conductive component 320 and the conductive copper foil 316 are simultaneously fixedly positioned on the insulating plastic-coated component 340. Moreover, since the insulating plastic-coated component 340 is also formed at the abutment between the signal conductive terminal 330 and the signal line 312, the signal conductive terminal 330 and the signal line 312 can reliably abut and conduct electricity, and at the same time, The signal conductive terminal 330 and the signal line 312 are simultaneously fixed to the insulating overmolded component 340. This ensures that the ground conductive component 320 and the signal conductive terminal 330 are reliably separated. Furthermore, since the portion of the ground conductive component 320 exposed from the insulating overmolded component 340 elastically abuts against the ground contact piece 120 of the substrate 100, the ground conductive component 320 is reliably grounded through the ground contact piece 120. Furthermore, since the portion of the signal conductive terminal 330 exposed from the insulating overmolded component 340 elastically abuts against the signal contact piece 110 of the substrate 100, the signal conductive terminal 330 reliably transmits signals, thereby achieving closed-loop signal transmission of the communication cable 300.
[0077] 2) Since the communication cable 300 can be plugged and connected to the conductive seat 200, the communication cable 300 can be detachably connected to the conductive seat 200, thereby achieving reliable installation and fixation of the communication cable 300 and the conductive seat 200, and facilitating the disassembly, assembly and replacement of the communication cable 300, thereby solving the problem of poor usability of the communication connection assembly 10.
[0078] The above-described embodiments merely illustrate several implementations of the present invention, and while their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent. It should be noted that a person skilled in the art would be able to make numerous variations and improvements without departing from the spirit of the present invention, all of which fall within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the patent for this invention shall be determined by the appended claims.
