Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention provides a board-to-board male-end connector and a board-to-board female-end connector adapted thereto. Background Art
[0002] Existing board-to-board connectors are small in size and densely packed with conductive parts, so the industry has developed a method where the terminals are embedded in a mold and "press-molded" to form an integral part. The advantage of such a press-molded board-to-board connector is its good stability. However, there are also disadvantages. For example, the colloid formed into an integral part by the press-molding causes the terminal to be too tightly covered, which is not conducive to reducing impedance. To solve the problem of reduced impedance, the inventors combined traditional plug-in (assembly) technology to strengthen the design of the force position of the terminal joint surface, minimize the covering of the terminal (surface), and leave ventilation space in the non-joined position of the terminal. This design can not only reduce the high cost of press-molding, but also reduce electrical impedance. At the same time, by strengthening the joint force, the stability effect and plug-in failure rate are improved. Summary of the Invention

[0046] In the embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings, directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, and rear) used to explain the structure and movement of various components of the present invention are not absolute but relative.

[0047] In addition, in the description of the present application, the terms "first", "second", etc. are only used to distinguish the description and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0048] In order to more clearly illustrate the embodiments of the present invention or the technical solutions in the prior art, the specific embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the drawings described below are only some embodiments of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, other drawings and other embodiments can be obtained based on these drawings without inventive work.
[0049] In this embodiment, if Figures 1 to 12 , the figure provides a board-to-board male connector 100, which is adapted to a PCB board 200. The board-to-board male connector includes a molded insulator 10, which secures an electrical contact 20, wherein:
[0050] The insulator 10 has a rectangular body 11 and a pad base (or "shield") 12 formed at both ends of the rectangular body in a raised (or "raised") form. The upper surface of the rectangular body 11 is hollowed out downward to form a buckle groove 113. A tongue plate 114 is raised in the center of the bottom of the buckle groove 113. The tongue plate 114 has contact grooves 1141 arranged on two opposite sides respectively; the lower surface of the rectangular body 11 is hollowed out upward to form a ventilation groove 115 corresponding to the tongue plate 114, and the contact groove 1141 is directly connected to the ventilation groove 115 downward; the shield 12 is extended outward near the lower surface of the rectangular body so that the distance between the two opposite outer sides of the shield is greater than the distance between the two opposite outer sides of the rectangular body. In this example, the expansion (i.e., "widening") design of the shield is conducive to adapting to the PCB board, and the shield is extended to the bottom of the rectangular body (beyond the bottom of the rectangular body) to form a step surface (not marked), which is adapted to the PCB board so that a ventilation distance is formed between the bottom of the rectangular body and the PCB board. In this example, the insulator can be divided into three parts longitudinally (i.e., the buckle groove part at the top, the solid part in the middle, and the air groove part at the bottom). The contact groove 1141 passes directly through the contact hole (not marked) formed in the solid part, and the contact hole passes through the ventilation groove 115. In this example, under the rectangular body, there are respectively arranged (anti-shrinkage deformation) material holes 116 between the two outer side surfaces of the rectangular body and the ventilation groove 115. A serration 1151 is formed between the material hole 116 and the outer side surface. A protrusion 1152 protruding from the bottom of the rectangular body is formed between adjacent serrations. A gap (not marked) is formed between the protrusion and the serration. The serration is larger than the height of the protrusion but lower than the step surface, so that there is a gap between the serration and the matching surface of the PCB board of the insulator. The protrusion is consistent with the width of the contact foot and the parallel spacing with the serration is consistent with the thickness of the contact foot. In this example, the two opposing side walls of the buckle groove extend upward to form a clamping wall 111 that is greater than the height of the two opposing end walls of the buckle groove. The tongue plate is equal to or greater than the end wall height within the buckle groove, but less than the clamping wall height. In this example, the outer side of the clamping wall is parallel to the outer side of the rectangle, and the inner side of the clamping wall is parallel to the inner wall of the buckle groove.
[0051] The electrical contact 20 includes several contact pairs 21. For ease of description, one contact pair 21 is used as an example, and the individual contacts within the contact pair (mirror image structure) are labeled. In this example, the contact 21 consists of three parts: a fixed section 211, a contact section 212, and a welding section 213. The fixed section 211 is divided into a connecting leg portion 2111 and a connecting contact portion 2112; the contact section 212 is divided into a flat contact portion 2121 and an angled contact portion 2122; and the welding section 213 is divided into a bent portion 2131 and a welding leg 2132. The welding leg 2132 has a facing surface 2133. In this example, the bending portion is located between the welding foot and the connecting foot portion so that the welding section is perpendicular to the fixed section; the width of the bending portion is equal to the width of the connecting contact portion but smaller than the width of the connecting foot portion. The wider width of the connecting foot portion can enhance the force on the contact during adaptation to avoid damage when installed in the insulator, thereby effectively improving the product yield; an interference portion 2113 is formed between the connecting contact portion and the flat contact portion, and burrs (not marked) are formed on both sides of the interference portion. The maximum width formed between the burrs on both sides conforms to the two opposite groove walls (not marked) of the interference contact groove 1141 and can stabilize the contact in the contact groove; convex portions (not marked) are extended on both sides of the oblique contact portion, and the width of the convex portions conforms to the two opposite groove walls of the interference contact groove, thereby assisting the stability of the contact in the contact groove. The width of the oblique contact portion is greater than the width of the flat contact portion but less than or equal to the interference portion. In this example, the narrower connecting contact portion and the flat contact portion in the contact form a gap in the contact slot, so that the connecting contact portion and the flat contact portion have as little (or no) contact with the contact slot wall as possible, thereby reducing impedance and improving electrical transmission effect.
[0052] In this example, please continue to see Figures 1 to 12In the figure, the board-to-board male connector 100 is adapted to the pads 201 arranged on the body 201 of the PCB 200 by adapting the contact surfaces 2133 of the electrical contacts 20 to form an integral body with the PCB 200. Due to the design, the insulator 10 comprises a rectangular body 11 and a raised (or "raised") base portion (or "shield") 12 formed at both ends of the rectangular body. The upper surface of the rectangular body 11 is hollowed out to form a buckle groove 113. A tongue plate 114 protrudes from the center of the bottom of the buckle groove 113. The tongue plate 114 has contact grooves 1141 arranged on two opposing sides. A ventilation groove 115 is hollowed out upward on the lower surface of the rectangular body 11, corresponding to the tongue plate 114. The contact grooves 1141 extend downwardly through the ventilation groove 115. The shield 12 extends outward near the bottom of the rectangular body, so that the distance between the two opposing outer sides of the shield is greater than the distance between the two opposing outer sides of the rectangular body. In this example, the expanded (i.e., "widened") design of the sill portion facilitates adaptation to the PCB board, and the sill portion extends toward the bottom of the rectangular body (beyond the bottom of the rectangular body) to form a step surface (not labeled). The step surface adapts to the PCB board to create a ventilation gap between the bottom of the rectangular body and the PCB board. In this example, the insulator can be divided longitudinally into three parts (i.e., the upper buckle groove portion, the middle solid portion, and the lower air groove portion). The contact groove 1141 extends directly through the contact hole (not labeled) formed in the solid portion. The contact hole passes through the air groove 115 and forms a gap hole connecting the buckle groove and the air groove (not shown). In this example, under the rectangular body, there are respectively arranged (anti-shrinkage deformation) material holes 116 between the two outer side surfaces of the rectangular body and the ventilation groove 115. A serration 1151 is formed between the material hole 116 and the outer side surface. A protrusion 1152 protruding from the bottom of the rectangular body is formed between adjacent serrations. A gap (not marked) is formed between the protrusion and the serration. The serration is greater than the height of the protrusion but lower than the step surface, so that there is a gap between the serration and the matching surface of the PCB board. The protrusion is consistent with the width of the contact foot and the parallel spacing with the serration is consistent with the thickness of the contact foot. In this example, the two opposite side walls of the buckle groove extend upward to form a clamping wall 111 that is greater than the height of the two opposite end walls of the buckle groove. The tongue plate is equal to or greater than the end wall height in the buckle groove but less than the clamping wall height. In this example, the outer side surface of the clamping wall is horizontal with the outer side surface of the rectangular body, and the inner side surface of the clamping wall is horizontal with the inner wall surface of the buckle groove.
[0053] In this embodiment, if Figures 13 to 22 As shown in the figure, a board-to-board female connector is shown. The board-to-board female connector 300 is mounted on a circuit board 400 and includes an insulating seat 30 and a terminal member 40 provided in the insulating seat 30, wherein:
[0054] Insulation seat 30 (such as Figure 14 、 Figure 16 and Figure 17) is die-formed, and has a longitudinal main body (hereinafter referred to as the "main body") 31 and end pads (hereinafter referred to as the "pads") 35 that are expanded at both ends of the main body 31 to form mirror images. The main body has an upper surface 311, a lower surface 312, a front surface 313, a rear surface 114 and two (opposite) side surfaces 315. A tongue plate groove 32 for adapting the tongue plate 114 of the male connector 100 is formed from the upper surface 311 to the lower surface 312 of the main body 31, and terminal grooves 321 for installing the terminal piece 40 are respectively provided on the opposite walls of the tongue plate groove 32; the lower surface 312 of the main body is retracted upward to form a recessed portion 33, and terminal holes 34 corresponding to and directly through each terminal groove 321 are respectively provided in the recessed portion, and a communicating inner groove 341 is provided on the inner side of the terminal hole 34. The pad 35 extends beyond the exterior of the main body 31 (e.g., the front surface 313, rear surface 114, side surfaces 315, and lower surface 312), creating a ventilated recessed space G between the main body's lower surface 312 and the pad's lower surface 351. This recessed space G communicates with the inner groove 341. Positioning posts 36 are provided on the pad's lower surface. The two posts are of different sizes to prevent the board-to-board female connector 300 from being incorrectly oriented when mounted on the circuit board 400. The side of the main body 31 features an inwardly retracted structure to prevent mis-insertion of the mating male connector 100.
[0055] The terminal piece 40 is formed by stamping and includes a plurality of terminal pairs (not marked). Each terminal pair is composed of terminals symmetrically arranged in the insulating seat 30. Each terminal includes a holding portion 41, an elastic section 42, an elastic contact portion 43 and a welding leg 44. The welding leg is connected to the lower end of the holding portion and forms a 90-degree bending angle with the holding portion. 0 to 95 0 The elastic segment includes a first elastic segment 421 and a second elastic segment 422. The first elastic segment 421 connects to the upper end of the retaining portion 41 and extends obliquely. The second elastic segment 422 connects to the elastic contact portion 43. In this example, the retaining portion 41 interferes with the terminal hole 341 in the terminal hole 341, firmly securing the terminal in the insulating seat. At this time, the elastic segment 42 (free end) in the terminal slot 321 tilts toward the slot, causing the elastic contact portion 43 to protrude from the tongue plate slot 321, thereby adapting to the contact segment 212 of the contact 21 of the male connector 100.
[0056] In this embodiment, if Figures 13 to 16 and Figures 19 to 22In the figure, the board-to-board female connector 300 is arranged on the circuit board 400. The circuit board 400 is provided with corresponding through holes 401 relative to the positioning columns 36 at both ends of the board-to-board female connector 300. Between the two through holes 401, there is provided a soldering pad 402 for soldering the soldering feet 44 of the terminal piece 40. The soldering feet 44 extend to the corresponding outer side of the insulating seat through the recessed portion 33. When the board-to-board female connector 30 is combined with the circuit board 400, the spacing H formed by adjacent soldering feet is connected to the indentation space G. Since the indentation space G is connected to the inner groove 341, the inner groove 341 is connected to the terminal hole 341, so that the spacing H is indirectly connected to the terminal groove 321. Through the design of the inner groove, indentation space and spacing, the interference (contact) surface between the terminal piece 40 and the insulating seat 30 is effectively reduced to obtain magnetic reduction, thereby improving impedance and enhancing product performance.
[0057] In the above embodiments, the description of each embodiment has its own focus. For parts that are not described or recorded in detail in a certain embodiment, reference can be made to the relevant description of other embodiments.
[0058] It should be noted that the above embodiments can be freely combined as needed. The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention.
