Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a substrate connector provided in an electronic device for electrical connection between a plurality of substrates. Background Technology
[0002] A connector is a device used for electrical connection in various electronic devices. For example, connectors are used in electronic devices such as mobile phones, computers, and tablets to allow various components within these devices to be electrically connected to each other.
[0003] Typically, electronic devices such as smartphones and tablet PCs contain RF connectors and board-to-board connectors (hereinafter referred to as "board connectors"). RF connectors are used to transmit RF (Radio Frequency) signals. Board connectors are used to process digital signals from cameras, etc.
[0004] Such RF connectors and substrate connectors are mounted on a PCB (Printed Circuit Board). Because existing technologies involve mounting several substrate connections and RF connectors along with multiple components within a limited PCB space, the PCB mounting area becomes larger. Therefore, with the trend towards miniaturization in smartphones, there is a need for a technology that optimizes the PCB mounting area by integrating the RF connector and substrate connector.
[0005] Figure 1 This is a schematic perspective view of a substrate connector in the prior art.
[0006] Reference Figure 1 The existing substrate connector 100 includes a first connector 110 and a second connector 120.
[0007] The first connector 110 is used to attach to a first substrate (not shown). The first connector 110 can be electrically connected to the second connector 120 via a plurality of first contacts 111.
[0008] The second connector 120 is used for bonding to a second substrate (not shown). The second connector 120 can be electrically connected to the first connector 110 via a plurality of second contacts 121.
[0009] With a plurality of first contacts 111 and a plurality of second contacts 121 connected to each other, the prior art substrate connector 100 can electrically connect the first substrate and the second substrate to each other. Furthermore, when a portion of the plurality of first contacts 111 and the plurality of second contacts 121 are used as RF contacts for transmitting RF signals, the prior art substrate connector 100 can be configured to transmit RF signals between the first substrate and the second substrate via the RF contacts.
[0010] The existing substrate connector 100 has the following problems.
[0011] First, in the case where the existing substrate connector 100 uses a plurality of closely spaced contacts 111, 121 as RF contacts, signal transmission cannot be performed smoothly due to RF signal interference between the plurality of RF contacts 111', 111", 121', 121".
[0012] Secondly, in the existing substrate connector 100, although an RF signal shielding part 112 is provided at the outermost part of the connector to shield RF signals from being radiated to the outside, shielding between RF signals cannot be achieved.
[0013] Third, in the prior art substrate connector 100, a plurality of RF contacts 111', 111", 121', and 121" each include a plurality of mounting portions 111a', 111a", 121a', and 121a" mounted on the substrate, and the plurality of mounting portions 111a', 111a", 121a', and 121a" are configured to be exposed to the outside. Therefore, the prior art substrate connector 100 cannot achieve shielding of the plurality of mounting portions 111a', 111a", 121a', and 121a". Summary of the Invention
[0014] The technical problem to be solved
[0015] The present invention is proposed to solve the above-mentioned problems, and its purpose is to provide a substrate connector that can reduce the possibility of RF signal interference between multiple RF contacts.
[0016] Technical solutions to the problem
[0017] To address the issues described above, the present invention may include the following configuration.
[0018] The substrate connector of the present invention may include: a plurality of RF contacts for transmitting RF signals; an insulating portion supporting the plurality of RF contacts; a plurality of transmission contacts coupled to the insulating portion between a plurality of first RF contacts and a plurality of second RF contacts among the plurality of RF contacts, such that the plurality of first RF contacts and the plurality of second RF contacts are spaced apart from each other along a first axis; a grounding housing coupled to the insulating portion; a first grounding contact coupled to the insulating portion, shielding between the plurality of first RF contacts and the plurality of transmission contacts with reference to the first axis; and a second grounding contact coupled to the insulating portion, shielding between the plurality of second RF contacts and the plurality of transmission contacts with reference to the first axis. The first-1 RF contacts and the first-2 RF contacts among the plurality of first RF contacts may be spaced apart along a second axis perpendicular to the first axis. The first grounding contact may include a first-1 grounding contact, which shields the first-1 RF contact and the plurality of transmission contacts with reference to the first axial direction, and shields the first-1 RF contact and the first-2 RF contact with reference to the second axial direction.

The first-1 grounding contact may include a first-1 connecting arm that resiliently moves upon connection with the grounding contact of the opposite connector.
[0020] Technical effect
[0021] According to the present invention, the following effects can be achieved.
[0022] This invention utilizes a grounding housing and grounding contacts to shield signals and electromagnetic waves from a plurality of RF contacts. Therefore, this invention prevents electromagnetic waves generated from the plurality of RF contacts from being interfered with by signals from a plurality of circuit components located around the electronic device, and also prevents electromagnetic waves generated from the plurality of circuit components located around the electronic device from being interfered with by RF signals transmitted through the plurality of RF contacts.

[0039] Hereinafter, embodiments of the substrate connector of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Figure 9 The substrate connector of the second embodiment is shown in Figure 2 and Figure 10 The case shown is where the substrate connector of the first embodiment is reversed in the direction shown. Figure 8 This illustrates a scenario where a portion of the first-1 grounding contact in the substrate connector of the second embodiment is omitted.
[0040] Reference Figure 2 The substrate connector 1 of the present invention can be disposed in electronic devices such as mobile phones, computers, and tablet computers (not shown). The substrate connector 1 of the present invention can be used to electrically connect a plurality of substrates (not shown). The substrate can be a printed circuit board (PCB). For example, when the first substrate and the second substrate are electrically connected, a receptacle connector mounted on the first substrate and a plug connector mounted on the second substrate can be connected to each other. Thus, the first substrate and the second substrate can be electrically connected to each other using the receptacle connector and the plug connector. The plug connector mounted on the first substrate and the receptacle connector mounted on the second substrate can also be connected to each other.
[0041] The substrate connector 1 of the present invention can be implemented by the socket connector. The substrate connector 1 of the present invention can also be implemented by the plug connector. The substrate connector 1 of the present invention can also be implemented by simultaneously including both the socket connector and the plug connector. Hereinafter, an embodiment in which the substrate connector 1 of the present invention is implemented by the socket connector is defined as the substrate connector 200 of the first embodiment, and an embodiment in which the substrate connector 1 of the present invention is implemented by the plug connector is defined as the substrate connector 300 of the second embodiment, and will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Furthermore, the description will be based on an embodiment in which the substrate connector 200 of the first embodiment is mounted on the first substrate, and the substrate connector 300 of the second embodiment is mounted on the second substrate. Therefore, those skilled in the art can readily deduce embodiments in which the substrate connector 1 simultaneously includes both the socket connector and the plug connector.
[0042] <Baseboard connector 200 of the first embodiment>
[0043] Reference Figures 2 to 4 The substrate connector 200 of the first embodiment may include: a plurality of RF contacts 210, a plurality of transmission contacts 220, a ground housing 230, and an insulating portion 240.
[0044] The plurality of RF contacts 210 are used to transmit RF (Radio Frequency) signals. The plurality of RF contacts 210 can transmit ultra-high frequency RF signals. The plurality of RF contacts 210 can be supported on the insulating portion 240. The plurality of RF contacts 210 can be assembled to the insulating portion 240. The plurality of RF contacts 210 can also be integrally formed with the insulating portion 240 by injection molding.
[0045] The plurality of RF contacts 210 may be spaced apart from each other. The plurality of RF contacts 210 are mounted on the first substrate, thereby enabling electrical connection to the first substrate. The plurality of RF contacts 210 are connected to the plurality of RF contacts of the opposing connector, thereby enabling electrical connection to the second substrate on which the opposing connector is mounted. Thus, the first substrate and the second substrate are electrically connected. In the case where the substrate connector 200 of the first embodiment is a receptacle connector, the opposing connector may be a plug connector. In the case where the substrate connector 200 of the first embodiment is a plug connector, the opposing connector may be a receptacle connector.
[0046] The first RF contact 211 and the second RF contact 212 of the plurality of RF contacts 210 may be spaced apart from each other along a first axial direction (X-axis direction). The first RF contact 211 and the second RF contact 212 may be supported on the insulating portion 240 at positions spaced apart from each other along the first axial direction (X-axis direction).
[0047] The first RF contact 211 may include a first RF mounting member 2111. The first RF mounting member 2111 may be mounted on the first substrate. Thus, the first RF contact 211 can be electrically connected to the first substrate via the first RF mounting member 2111. The first RF contact 211 may be formed of an electrically conductive material. For example, the first RF contact 211 may be formed of metal. The first RF contact 211 may be connected to any one of the plurality of RF contacts of the opposing connector.
[0048] The second RF contact 212 may include a second RF mounting member 2121. The second RF mounting member 2121 may be mounted on the first substrate. Thus, the second RF contact 212 can be electrically connected to the first substrate via the second RF mounting member 2121. The second RF contact 212 may be formed of an electrically conductive material. For example, the second RF contact 212 may be formed of metal. The second RF contact 212 may connect to any one of the plurality of RF contacts of the opposing connector.
[0049] Reference Figures 2 to 5 A plurality of the transmission contacts 220 are coupled to the insulating portion 240. The plurality of transmission contacts 220 can function as transmitters of signals, data, power, etc. The plurality of transmission contacts 220 can be coupled to the insulating portion 240 through an assembly process. Alternatively, the plurality of transmission contacts 220 can be integrally formed with the insulating portion 240 through injection molding.
[0050] A plurality of the transmission contacts 220 can be arranged between the first RF contact 211 and the second RF contact 212 with reference to the first axial direction (X-axis direction). Therefore, in order to reduce RF signal interference between the first RF contact 211 and the second RF contact 212, the plurality of transmission contacts 220 can be arranged in a space that separates the first RF contact 211 and the second RF contact 212 from each other. Thus, the substrate connector 200 of the first embodiment not only reduces RF signal interference by increasing the distance between the first RF contact 211 and the second RF contact 212, but also improves the space utilization of the insulating portion 240 by arranging a plurality of the transmission contacts 220 in the space between them.
[0051] The plurality of transmission contacts 220 may be spaced apart from each other. The plurality of transmission contacts 220 are mounted on the first substrate, thereby enabling electrical connection with the first substrate. In this case, each of the plurality of transmission contacts 220 may have a transmission mounting member 2201 mounted on the first substrate. The plurality of transmission contacts 220 may be formed of an electrically conductive material. For example, the plurality of transmission contacts 220 may be formed of metal. The plurality of transmission contacts 220 connect with the plurality of transmission contacts of the opposing connector, thereby enabling electrical connection with the second substrate on which the opposing connector is mounted. Thus, the first substrate and the second substrate can be electrically connected.
[0052] A plurality of first transmission contacts 221 and a plurality of second transmission contacts 222 of the plurality of transmission contacts 220 may be spaced apart from each other along a second axial direction (Y-axis direction). The second axial direction (Y-axis direction) is an axial direction perpendicular to the first axial direction (X-axis direction). The plurality of first transmission contacts 221 may be spaced apart from each other along the first axial direction (X-axis direction). The plurality of second transmission contacts 222 may be spaced apart from each other along the first axial direction (X-axis direction).
[0053] Reference Figures 2 to 5 The insulating portion 240 is attached to the grounding housing 230. The grounding housing 230 can be grounded by being mounted on the first substrate. Thus, the grounding housing 230 can shield signals, electromagnetic waves, etc., from the plurality of RF contacts 210. In this case, the grounding housing 230 can prevent electromagnetic waves generated from the plurality of RF contacts 210 from being interfered with by signals from a plurality of circuit components located around the electronic device, and can also prevent electromagnetic waves generated from the plurality of circuit components located around the electronic device from being interfered with by RF signals transmitted by the plurality of RF contacts 210. Therefore, the substrate connector 200 of the first embodiment can utilize the grounding housing 230 to improve EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) shielding performance and EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) performance. The grounding housing 230 can be formed of an electrically conductive material. For example, the grounding housing 230 can be formed of metal.
[0054] The grounding housing 230 can be configured to surround the sides of the inner space 230a. A portion of the insulation portion 240 can be located in the inner space 230a. The first RF contact 211, the second RF contact 2, and the plurality of transmission contacts 220 can all be located in the inner space 230a. In this case, the first RF mounting member 2111, the second RF mounting member 2121, and the plurality of transmission mounting members 2201 can also all be located in the inner space 230a. Therefore, by implementing a shielding wall for all the first RF contacts 211 and the second RF contacts 212, the grounding housing 230 can enhance the shielding function of the first RF contacts 211 and the second RF contacts 212, thereby achieving complete shielding. The opposing connector can be inserted into the inner space 230a.
[0055] The grounding housing 230 can be configured to surround all sides based on the inner space 230a. The inner space 230a can be disposed inside the grounding housing 230. When the grounding housing 230 is generally formed in the shape of a quadrilateral ring, the inner space 230a can be formed in the shape of a cuboid. In this case, the grounding housing 230 can be configured to surround four sides based on the inner space 230a.
[0056] The grounding housing 230 can be integrally formed without seams. The grounding housing 230 can be integrally formed without seams using metal injection molding processes such as die casting or MIM (Metal Injection Molding). The grounding housing 230 can also be integrally formed without seams using CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machining or MCT (Machining Center Tool) machining.
[0057] Reference Figures 2 to 5 The insulating portion 240 supports a plurality of the RF contacts 210. The plurality of RF contacts 210 and the plurality of transmission contacts 220 may be coupled to the insulating portion 240. The insulating portion 240 may be formed of an insulating material. The insulating portion 240 may be coupled to the grounding housing 230 such that the plurality of RF contacts 210 are located in the inner space 230a.
[0058] Reference Figures 2 to 6 The substrate connector 200 in the first embodiment may include a first grounding contact 250.
[0059] The first grounding contact 250 is coupled to the insulating portion 240. The first grounding contact 250 can be grounded by being mounted on the first substrate. The first grounding contact 250 can be coupled to the insulating portion 240 by an assembly process. The first grounding contact 250 can also be integrally formed with the insulating portion 240 by injection molding.
[0060] The first grounding contact 250, together with the grounding housing 230, can provide shielding for the first RF contact 211. In this case, the first grounding contact 250 can be configured between the first RF contact 211 and a plurality of the transmission contacts 220, with the first axial direction (X-axis direction) as a reference. The first grounding contact 250 can be formed of an electrically conductive material. For example, the first grounding contact 250 can be formed of metal. If the opposing connector is inserted into the inner space 230a, the first grounding contact 250 can connect with the grounding contacts of the opposing connector.
[0061] Reference Figures 2 to 5 The substrate connector 200 in the first embodiment may include a second grounding contact 260.
[0062] The second grounding contact 260 is coupled to the insulating portion 240. The second grounding contact 260 can be grounded by being mounted on the first substrate. The second grounding contact 260 can be coupled to the insulating portion 240 by an assembly process. The second grounding contact 260 can be integrally formed with the insulating portion 240 by injection molding.
[0063] The second grounding contact 260, together with the grounding housing 230, can provide shielding for the second RF contact 212. The second grounding contact 260 can be configured with respect to the first axial direction (X-axis direction) between a plurality of transmission contacts 220 and the second RF contact 212. The second grounding contact 260 can be formed of an electrically conductive material. For example, the second grounding contact 260 can be formed of metal. If the opposing connector is inserted into the inner space 230a, the second grounding contact 260 can connect with the grounding contacts of the opposing connector.
[0064] Here, the substrate connector 200 of the first embodiment can be implemented as including a plurality of the first RF contacts 211 and a plurality of the second RF contacts 212.
[0065] Reference Figures 2 to 9A plurality of the first RF contacts 211 and a plurality of the second RF contacts 212 may be spaced apart from each other along the first axial direction (X-axis direction). A plurality of transmission contacts 220 may be arranged between the plurality of the first RF contacts 211 and the plurality of the second RF contacts 212, with reference to the first axial direction (X-axis direction). In this case, the first ground contact 250 may shield between the plurality of the first RF contacts 211 and the plurality of transmission contacts 220 with reference to the first axial direction (X-axis direction). The second ground contact 260 may shield between the plurality of the second RF contacts 212 and the plurality of transmission contacts 220 with reference to the first axial direction (X-axis direction).
[0066] When a plurality of the first RF contacts 211 are provided, the first ground contact 250 can shield the plurality of the first RF contacts 211 and the plurality of the transmission contacts 220 with reference to the first axial direction (X-axis direction), and shield the plurality of the first RF contacts 211 with reference to the second axial direction (Y-axis direction). Thus, the substrate connector 200 of the first embodiment can utilize the first ground contact 250 to achieve shielding between the plurality of the first RF contacts 211 and the plurality of the transmission contacts 220, and can additionally achieve shielding between the plurality of the first RF contacts 211. Therefore, the substrate connector 200 of the first embodiment can be implemented to transmit a wider variety of RF signals using the plurality of the first RF contacts 211, thereby improving its versatility for application in a wider variety of electronic products.
[0067] The first-1RF contact 211a and the first-2RF contact 211b of the plurality of the first RF contacts 211 can be spaced apart from each other along the second axial direction (Y-axis direction). Figure 5 The substrate connector 200 shown in the first embodiment includes two first RF contacts 211 implemented by the first-1 RF contact 211a and the first-2 RF contact 211b, but it is not limited thereto; the substrate connector 200 of the first embodiment may also include three or more first RF contacts 211. On the other hand, this specification is described based on the first embodiment substrate connector 200 including the first-1 RF contact 211a and the first-2 RF contact 211b.
[0068] When the first-1 RF contact 211a and the first-2 RF contact 211b are provided, the first ground contact 250 may include the first-1 ground contact 251.
[0069] The first-1 ground contact 251 can shield the first-1 RF contact 211a and the plurality of transmission contacts 220 with reference to the first axial direction (X-axis direction), and can shield the first-1 RF contact 211a and the first-2 RF contact 211b with reference to the second axial direction (Y-axis direction). Therefore, even if the first-1 RF contact 211a and the first-2 RF contact 211b transmit different RF signals, the substrate connector 200 of the first embodiment can use the first-1 ground contact 251 to prevent signals from being interfered with between the first-1 RF contact 211a and the first-2 RF contact 211b. Thus, the substrate connector 200 of the first embodiment can be implemented to stably transmit a wider variety of RF signals using the first-1 RF contact 211a and the first-2 RF contact 211b. A portion of the first-1 grounding contact 251 may be located between the first-1 RF contact 211a and a plurality of the first transmission contacts 221, with reference to the first axial direction (X-axis direction). A portion of the first-1 grounding contact 251 may be configured between the first-1 RF contact 211a and the first-2 RF contact 211b, with reference to the second axial direction (Y-axis direction).
[0070] The first-1 grounding contact 251 may include the first-1 shielding member 2511.
[0071] The first-1 shielding member 2511 can be located between the first-1 RF contact 211a and the first-2 RF contact 211b, with the second axial direction (Y-axis direction) as a reference. Therefore, the first-1 grounding contact 251 can use the first-1 shielding member 2511 to shield between the first-1 RF contact 211a and the first-2 RF contact 211b. Thus, the first-1 grounding contact 251 can use the first-1 shielding member 2511 to prevent interference such as signals between the first-1 RF contact 211a and the first-2 RF contact 211b. The first-1 shielding member 2511 can be formed as a plate shape arranged vertically between the first-1 RF contact 211a and the first-2 RF contact 211b.
[0072] The first-1 shielding member 2511 can be spaced equidistant from the first-1 RF contact 211a and the first-2 RF contact 211b, with the second axial direction (Y-axis direction) as a reference. Therefore, the substrate connector 200 of the first embodiment can reduce the deviation between the shielding performance of the first-1 RF contact 211a and the shielding performance of the first-2 RF contact 211b. Thus, the substrate connector 200 of the first embodiment can utilize the first-1 shielding member 2511 to achieve stable shielding for each of the first-1 RF contact 211a and the first-2 RF contact 211b.
[0073] The first-1 grounding contact 251 may include a first-1 grounding contact member 2512 and a first-1 grounding mounting member 2513.
[0074] The first-1 grounding contact member 2512 is coupled to the first-1 shielding member 2511. The first-1 grounding contact member 2512 can be coupled to both the first-1 shielding member 2511 and the first-1 grounding mounting member 2513. The first-1 shielding member 2511 and the first-1 grounding mounting member 2513 can be connected to each other via the first-1 grounding contact member 2512. The first-1 grounding contact member 2512 can be connected to the grounding contact of the opposing connector. Thus, the first grounding contact 250 can be connected to the grounding contact of the opposing connector via the first-1 grounding contact member 2512, thereby achieving electrical connection with the grounding contact of the opposing connector. Therefore, the shielding force of the first grounding contact 250 against the plurality of the first RF contacts 211 can be strengthened. The first-1 shielding member 2511 can be coupled to the first-1 grounding contact member 2512. The first-1 shielding member 2511 may protrude from the first-1 grounding contact member 2512 along the first axial direction (X-axis direction). The first-1 grounding contact member 2512 may be formed as a plate shape arranged along the vertical direction. In this case, the arrangement of the first-1 grounding contact member 2512 along the vertical direction can be achieved by bending the plate.
[0075] The first-1 grounding mounting member 2513 is mounted on the first substrate. The first-1 grounding mounting member 2513 can be grounded by being mounted on the first substrate. Therefore, the first-1 grounding contact 251 can be grounded on the first substrate via the first-1 grounding mounting member 2513. The first-1 grounding mounting member 2513 can be located between the first-1 RF contact 211a and the plurality of transmission contacts 220, with the first axial direction (X-axis direction) as a reference. Therefore, the first-1 grounding mounting member 2513 can shield the first-1 RF contact 211a and the plurality of transmission contacts 220, with the first axial direction (X-axis direction) as a reference. The first-1 grounding mounting member 2513 can protrude from the first-1 grounding contact member 2512 along the second axial direction (Y-axis direction). The first-1 grounding mounting member 2513 can protrude from the first-1 grounding contact member 2512 with a length sufficient to connect to the grounding housing 230, based on the second axial direction (Y-axis direction). In this case, the first-1 grounding mounting member 2513 can protrude from the first-1 grounding contact member 2512 and connect to the sidewall of the grounding housing 230. The first-1 grounding mounting member 2513 can be formed as a plate shape arranged in a horizontal direction. The first-1 grounding mounting member 2513 can be mounted on the mounting pattern 2513a of the first substrate. Figure 8 (as shown in the image).
[0076] The first-1 grounding contact 251 may include a first-1 connecting protrusion 2514. Figure 5 (as shown in the image).
[0077] The first-1 connecting protrusion 2514 protrudes from the first-1 grounding contact member 2512. When the first-1 grounding contact member 2512 is connected to the grounding contact of the opposing connector, the first-1 connecting protrusion 2514 can connect to the grounding contact of the opposing connector. The first-1 connecting protrusion 2514 can be shaped such that its size decreases as it protrudes from the first-1 grounding contact member 2512. For example, the first-1 connecting protrusion 2514 can be formed as a hemispherical shape protruding from the first-1 grounding contact member 2512. The first-1 connecting protrusion 2514 can be used to strengthen the connection force between the first-1 grounding contact member 2512 and the grounding contact of the opposing connector.
[0078] The first-1 grounding contact 251 may include the first-1 connecting protrusion 2515.
[0079] The first-1 connecting protrusion 2515 protrudes from the first-1 shielding member 2511. The first-1 connecting protrusion 2515 can be connected to the ground housing or ground contact of the opposing connector. This increases the contact area between the first-1 ground contact 251 and the ground housing or ground contact of the opposing connector, thus further enhancing the shielding performance of the substrate connector 200 of the first embodiment based on the first-1 ground contact 251. The first-1 connecting protrusion 2515 can penetrate and protrude from the insulating portion 240 and be connected to the ground housing or ground contact of the opposing connector. The first-1 connecting protrusion 2515 can also be connected to the ground housing or ground contact of the opposing connector by inserting it into the insulating portion of the opposing connector. In this case, a through hole may be formed in the insulating portion of the opposing connector for insertion of the first-1 connecting protrusion 2515. The first-1 connecting protrusion 2515 may protrude from the first-1 shielding member 2511 along the vertical direction. The first-1 connecting protrusion 2515 may be formed in a plate shape arranged along the vertical direction.
[0080] The first-1 grounding contact 251 may include the first-1 grounding protrusion 2516.
[0081] The first-1 grounding protrusion 2516 protrudes from the first-1 shielding member 2511. The first-1 grounding protrusion 2516 can be mounted on the first substrate. This increases the mounting area of the first-1 grounding contact 251 on the first substrate, thus further enhancing the shielding performance of the substrate connector 200 of the first embodiment based on the first-1 grounding contact 251. The first-1 grounding protrusion 2516 can be mounted on the first substrate by passing through and protruding from the insulating portion 240. The first-1 grounding protrusion 2516 can protrude from the first-1 shielding member 2511 along the vertical direction. Based on the vertical direction, the first-1 connecting protrusion 2515 and the first-1 grounding protrusion 2516 can protrude from the first-1 shielding member 2511 in opposite directions. The first-1 grounding protrusion 2516 can be formed as a plate shape arranged along the vertical direction.
[0082] The first-1 grounding protrusion 2516 and the first-1 grounding mounting member 2513 can be mounted on the first substrate at different positions. Therefore, in the substrate connector 200 of the first embodiment, by increasing the portion of the first-1 grounding contact 251 that is grounded through the first substrate, it is achieved that even if the first-1 grounding contact 251 and the grounding contact of the opposing connector are connected at multiple contacts, the multiple contacts can be grounded on the first substrate through various paths. Therefore, the grounding distance of each of the multiple contacts to the first substrate can be reduced, thereby reducing the deviation in grounding performance of each of the multiple contacts in the substrate connector 200 of the first embodiment.
[0083] For example, in the absence of the first-1 grounding protrusion 2516, the contact of the first-1 connecting protrusion 2515 connected to the grounding housing or grounding contact of the opposite connector is grounded on the first substrate via the first-1 shielding member 2511 and the first grounding contact member 2512 and via the first-1 grounding mounting member 2513. Therefore, it is possible to achieve a longer grounding distance than the contact between the first grounding contact member 2512 and the grounding contact of the opposite connector.
[0084] In contrast, when the first-1 grounding protrusion 2516 is provided, such as Figure 8 As shown by the dashed arrow, the contact point of the first-1 connecting protrusion 2515 connected to the ground housing or ground contact of the opposite connector is grounded on the first substrate via the first-1 shielding member 2511 and the first-1 grounding protrusion 2516. Therefore, it can be achieved to have approximately the same grounding distance as the contact point between the first grounding contact member 2512 and the ground contact of the opposite connector. For example, as... Figure 8 As shown by the dashed arrow, the contact point where the first-1 connecting protrusion 2515 connects to the first-1 grounding connection member 3513 of the first-1 grounding contact 351 of the opposing connector 300 can be grounded on the first substrate via the first-1 shielding member 2511 and the first-1 grounding protrusion 2516. Therefore, the substrate connector 200 of the first embodiment can utilize the first-1 grounding protrusion 2516 to reduce the grounding distance of each of the plurality of contacts grounded on the first substrate. In this case, the first-1 grounding protrusion 2516 can be mounted on the first substrate having a mounting pattern 2516a (…). Figure 8 (as shown in the image).
[0085] The first-1 grounding contact 251 may include the first-1 transmission shielding member 2517.
[0086] The first-1 transmission shielding member 2517 is located between a plurality of first transmission contacts 221 and a plurality of second transmission contacts 222, with the second axial direction (Y-axis direction) as a reference. The first-1 transmission shielding member 2517 can shield between the plurality of first transmission contacts 221 and the plurality of second transmission contacts 222 with the second axial direction (Y-axis direction) as a reference. Therefore, the first-1 grounding contact 251 can utilize the first-1 transmission shielding member 2517 to prevent signals from being interfered with between the plurality of first transmission contacts 221 and the plurality of second transmission contacts 222. Thus, the substrate connector 200 of the first embodiment can utilize the plurality of first transmission contacts 221 and the plurality of second transmission contacts 222 to transmit a wider variety of signals, data, power, etc., thereby improving its versatility for application in a wider variety of electronic products. The first-1 transmission shielding member 2517 can be formed as a plate shape arranged along the vertical direction between a plurality of first transmission contacts 221 and a plurality of second transmission contacts 222.
[0087] The first-1 transmission shielding member 2517 can be spaced equidistant from the plurality of first transmission contacts 221 and the plurality of second transmission contacts 222, respectively, with the second axial direction (Y-axis direction) as a reference. Therefore, the substrate connector 200 of the first embodiment can reduce the deviation between the shielding performance of the plurality of first transmission contacts 221 and the shielding performance of the plurality of second transmission contacts 222.
[0088] The first-1 transmission shielding member 2517 and the first-1 shielding member 2511 can protrude from the first-1 grounding contact member 2512 in opposite directions relative to each other, with the first axial direction (X-axis direction) as a reference. In this case, the first-1 transmission shielding member 2517 and the first-1 shielding member 2511 can be arranged on the same line. Therefore, the substrate connector 200 of the first embodiment can utilize the first-1 transmission shielding member 2517 and the first-1 shielding member 2511 to achieve shielding functions for a plurality of the first RF contacts 211 and for a plurality of the transmission contacts 220, and can be miniaturized by reducing the overall size with the second axial direction (Y-axis direction) as a reference.
[0089] The first-1 grounding contact 251 may include a first-1 transmission grounding protrusion 2518.
[0090] The first-1 transmission grounding protrusion 2518 protrudes from the first-1 transmission shielding member 2517. The first-1 transmission grounding protrusion 2518 can be mounted on the first substrate. This increases the mounting area of the first-1 grounding contact 251 on the first substrate, thus further enhancing the shielding performance of the substrate connector 200 based on the first-1 grounding contact 251. The first-1 transmission grounding protrusion 2518 penetrates and protrudes from the insulating portion 240, thereby allowing it to be mounted on the first substrate. The first-1 transmission grounding protrusion 2518 can protrude from the first-1 transmission shielding member 2517 along the vertical direction. The first-1 transmission grounding protrusion 2518 can be formed in a plate shape arranged along the vertical direction.
[0091] The first-1 transmission grounding protrusion 2518 and the first-1 grounding mounting member 2513 can be mounted on the first substrate at different positions. Therefore, the substrate connector 200 of the first embodiment can reduce the deviation in grounding distance between each of the plurality of contacts between the first-1 grounding contact 251 and the grounding contacts of the opposing connector on the first substrate by increasing the portion of the first-1 grounding contact 251 grounded through the first substrate. Thus, the substrate connector 200 of the first embodiment can reduce the deviation in grounding performance between the first-1 grounding contact 251 and the grounding contacts of the opposing connector at each of the plurality of contacts.
[0092] In this case, the upper part of the first-1 transmission shielding member 2517 can be connected to the ground housing or the ground contact of the opposite connector. The first-1 transmission grounding protrusion 2518 can be attached to the lower part of the first-1 transmission shielding member 2517. Thus, the substrate connector 200 of the first embodiment can utilize the first-1 transmission shielding member 2517 to expand the connection area between the first-1 grounding contact 251 and the ground housing or the ground contact of the opposite connector, thereby further enhancing the shielding performance based on the first-1 grounding contact 251. Additionally, as... Figure 8 As shown by the dashed arrow, the upper part of the first-1 transmission shield 2517 connects to the ground housing or ground contact of the opposite connector, and the contact can be grounded on the first substrate via the first-1 transmission shield 2517 and the first-1 transmission grounding protrusion 2518. For example, as... Figure 8As shown by the dashed arrow, the contact point where the first-1 connecting protrusion 2515 connects to the first-1 transmission shield 3516 of the first-1 grounding contact 351 of the opposing connector 300 can be grounded on the first substrate via the first-1 shield 2511 and the first-1 grounding protrusion 2516. Thus, the substrate connector 200 of the first embodiment can reduce the grounding distance between the upper part of the first-1 transmission shield 2517 and the contact point where it connects to the grounding housing or grounding contact of the opposing connector. In this case, the first-1 transmission grounding protrusion 2518 can be mounted on the mounting pattern 2518a of the first substrate. Figure 8 (as shown in the image).
[0093] The first grounding contact 250 may include a first-second grounding contact 252.
[0094] The first-second grounding contact 252 can be located between the first-second RF contact 211b and the plurality of transmission contacts 220, with the first axial direction (X-axis direction) as a reference. Thus, the first-second grounding contact 252 can shield the area between the first-second RF contact 211b and the plurality of transmission contacts 220. The first-second grounding contact 252 can be configured separately from the first-first grounding contact 251, with the second axial direction (Y-axis direction) as a reference. The first-second grounding contact 252 and the first-first grounding contact 251 can be formed in different forms from each other. For example, the first-2 grounding contact 252 can be formed without the first-1 shielding member 2511, the first-1 connecting protrusion 2514, the first-1 connecting protrusion 2515, the first-1 grounding protrusion 2516, the first-1 transmission shielding member 2517, and the first-1 transmission grounding protrusion 2518 present in the first-1 grounding contact 251. Therefore, compared to an embodiment where the first-2 grounding contact 252 is formed in the same form as the first-1 grounding contact 251, the substrate connector 200 of the first embodiment not only improves the ease of manufacturing the first-2 grounding contact 252 but also reduces the material cost for manufacturing the first-2 grounding contact 252. In this case, the shielding between the first-1 RF contact 211a and the first-2 RF contact 211b can be achieved through the first-1 grounding contact 251.
[0095] The first-second grounding contact 252 may include a first-second grounding contact member 2521 and a first-second grounding mounting member 2522.
[0096] The first-second grounding contact member 2521 is used to connect with the grounding contact of the opposing connector. The first grounding contact member 250 connects to the grounding contact of the opposing connector via the first-second grounding contact member 2521, thereby enabling electrical connection with the grounding contact of the opposing connector. Therefore, as the first grounding contact member 250 connects to the grounding contact of the opposing connector via the first-second grounding contact member 2521, the gap created by the first-second grounding contact member 252 and the first-first grounding contact member 251 being spaced apart from each other along the second axial direction (Y-axis direction) can be shielded. In this case, both the first-second grounding contact member 2521 and the first-first grounding contact member 2512 can connect to the grounding contact of the opposing connector.
[0097] The first-second grounding mounting member 2522 is mounted on the first substrate. The first-second grounding mounting member 2522 can be grounded by being mounted on the first substrate. Thus, the first-second grounding contact 252 can be grounded on the first substrate via the first-second grounding mounting member 2522. The first-second grounding mounting member 2522 can protrude from the first-second grounding contact member 2521 along the second axial direction (Y-axis direction). In this case, the first-second grounding mounting member 2522 can be positioned between the first-second RF contact 211b and the plurality of second transmission contacts 222, with the first axial direction (X-axis direction) as a reference. The first-second grounding mounting member 2522 can also protrude from the first-second grounding contact member 2521 by a length sufficient to connect with the grounding housing 230, with the second axial direction (Y-axis direction) as a reference. In this configuration, the first-second grounding mounting member 2522 and the first-first grounding mounting member 2513 protrude in opposite directions, allowing them to connect to each of the opposing sidewalls of the grounding housing 230. Therefore, the substrate connector 200 of the first embodiment further enhances the shielding performance between the plurality of the first RF contacts 211 and the transmission contacts 220. The first-second grounding mounting member 2522 can be formed in a plate shape arranged horizontally.
[0098] The first-second grounding contact 252 may include the first-second connecting protrusion 2523.
[0099] The first-second connecting protrusion 2523 protrudes from the first-second grounding contact member 2521. When the first-second grounding contact member 2521 is connected to the grounding contact of the opposing connector, the first-second connecting protrusion 2523 can connect to the grounding contact of the opposing connector. The first-second connecting protrusion 2523 can be shaped such that its size decreases as it protrudes from the first-second grounding contact member 2521. For example, the first-second connecting protrusion 2523 can be shaped as a hemispherical protrusion from the first-second grounding contact member 2521. The first-second connecting protrusion 2523 strengthens the connection force between the first-second grounding contact member 2521 and the grounding contact of the opposing connector. The first-second connecting protrusion 2523 and the first-first connecting protrusion 2514 can protrude in opposite directions relative to each other, with reference to the second axial direction (Y-axis direction).
[0100] As described above, the substrate connector 200 of the first embodiment can utilize the first-1 ground contact 251, the first-2 ground contact 252, and the ground housing 230 to realize a first ground loop 250a for the first-1 RF contact 211a and the first-2 RF contact 211b. Figure 5 (as shown in the diagram). Therefore, the substrate connector 200 of the first embodiment utilizes the first ground loop 250a to further enhance the shielding performance of the first-1RF contact 211a and the first-2RF contact 211b, thereby achieving complete shielding of the first-1RF contact 211a and the first-2RF contact.
[0101] Reference Figures 2 to 9 When a plurality of the second RF contacts 212 are provided, the second ground contact 260 can shield the plurality of the second RF contacts 212 and the plurality of the transmission contacts 220 with reference to the first axial direction (X-axis direction), and can shield the plurality of the second RF contacts 212 with reference to the second axial direction (Y-axis direction). Therefore, the first embodiment substrate connector 200 can utilize the second ground contact 260 to achieve shielding between the plurality of the second RF contacts 212 and the plurality of transmission contacts 220, and can additionally achieve shielding between the plurality of the second RF contacts 212. Therefore, the first embodiment substrate connector 200 is implemented to utilize the plurality of the second RF contacts 212 to transmit a wider variety of RF signals, thereby improving its versatility for application in a wider variety of electronic products.
[0102] The second-1 RF contact 212a and the second-2 RF contact 212b of the plurality of second RF contacts 212 can be spaced apart from each other along the second axial direction (Y-axis direction). Figure 5 The substrate connector 200 shown in the first embodiment includes two second RF contacts 212 implemented by the second-1 RF contact 212a and the second-2 RF contact 212b. However, it is not limited to this, and the substrate connector 200 of the first embodiment may also include three or more second RF contacts 212. On the other hand, this specification is described based on the first embodiment substrate connector 200 including the second-1 RF contact 212a and the second-2 RF contact 212b.
[0103] When the second-1 RF contact 212a and the second-2 RF contact 212b are provided, the second grounding contact 260 may include the second-1 grounding contact 261.
[0104] The second-1st ground contact 261 can shield between the second-1st RF contact 212a and the plurality of transmission contacts 220 with reference to the first axial direction (X-axis direction), and can shield between the second-1st RF contact 212a and the second-2nd RF contact 212b with reference to the second axial direction (Y-axis direction). Therefore, the substrate connector 200 of the first embodiment is implemented to transmit a wider variety of RF signals using the plurality of the second RF contacts 212, thereby improving its versatility for application to a wider variety of electronic products. A portion of the second-1st ground contact 261 can be positioned between the second-1st RF contact 212a and the plurality of second transmission contacts 222 with reference to the first axial direction (X-axis direction) to provide shielding. In this case, the plurality of second transmission contacts 222 can be configured between the first-2nd RF contact 211b and the second-1st RF contact 212a with reference to the first axial direction (X-axis direction). A portion of the second-1st grounding contact 261 may be disposed between the second-1st RF contact 212a and the second-2nd RF contact 212b, with reference to the second axial direction (Y-axis direction). In this case, the second-2nd RF contact 212b may be disposed spaced apart from the first-1st RF contact 211a along the first axial direction (X-axis direction).
[0105] The second-first grounding contact 261 may include at least one of the following: a second-first shielding member 2611, a second-first grounding contact member 2612, a second-first grounding mounting member 2613, a second-first connecting protrusion 2614, a second-first connecting protrusion 2615, a second-first grounding protrusion 2616, a second-first transmission shielding member 2617, and a second-first transmission grounding protrusion 2618. In this case, since the second-1 shielding member 2611, the second-1 grounding contact member 2612, the second-1 grounding mounting member 2613, the second-1 connecting protrusion 2614, the second-1 connecting protrusion 2615, the second-1 grounding protrusion 2616, the second-1 transmission shielding member 2617, and the second-1 transmission grounding protrusion 2618 can be implemented to be substantially the same as the first-1 shielding member 2511, the first-1 grounding contact member 2512, the first-1 grounding mounting member 2513, the first-1 connecting protrusion 2514, the first-1 connecting protrusion 2515, the first-1 grounding protrusion 2516, the first-1 transmission shielding member 2517, and the first-1 transmission grounding protrusion 2518, respectively, detailed descriptions of them are omitted.
[0106] The second-first grounding contact 261 and the first-first grounding contact 251 can be formed with the same shape as each other. Therefore, the substrate connector 200 of the first embodiment can improve the ease of manufacturing the second-first grounding contact 261 and the first-first grounding contact 251 respectively. In this case, as... Figure 5 As shown, the second-first grounding contact 261 and the first-first grounding contact 251 can be configured as point-symmetric with respect to a symmetry point SP. The symmetry point SP is a position that is equidistant from the side walls 230b and 230c of the grounding housing 230, which are spaced apart from each other with respect to the first axial direction (X-axis direction), and equidistant from the side walls 230d and 230e of the grounding housing 230, which are spaced apart from each other with respect to the second axial direction (Y-axis direction). Therefore, since the second-first grounding contact 261 and the first-first grounding contact 251 are formed with the same shape and differ only in their configuration direction, the substrate connector 200 of the first embodiment can further improve the ease of manufacturing the second-first grounding contact 261 and the first-first grounding contact 251. In this configuration, the second-1 RF contact 212a and the first-1 RF contact 211a can be configured as point-symmetric with respect to the symmetry point SP. Similarly, the second-2 RF contact 212b and the first-2 RF contact 211b can be configured as point-symmetric with respect to the symmetry point SP.
[0107] On the other hand, the second-first shielding member 2611, the second-first transmission shielding member 2617, the first-first shielding member 2511, and the first-first transmission shielding member 2517 can be arranged on the same line. Therefore, the substrate connector 200 of the first embodiment can not only achieve shielding force between a plurality of second RF contacts 212, between a plurality of first RF contacts 211, and between a plurality of first transmission contacts 221 and a plurality of second transmission contacts 222, but also achieve miniaturization by reducing the overall size with respect to the second axial direction (Y-axis direction). The second-first transmission shielding member 2617 and the first-first transmission shielding member 2517 can be arranged spaced apart from each other along the first axial direction (X-axis direction).
[0108] The second grounding contact 260 may include a second-second grounding contact 262.
[0109] The second-2nd grounding contact 262 can be located between the second-2nd RF contact 212b and the plurality of transmission contacts 220, with the first axial direction (X-axis direction) as a reference. The second-2nd grounding contact 262 can shield the area between the second-2nd RF contact 212b and the plurality of transmission contacts 220. In this case, the second-2nd grounding contact 262 is disposed between the second-2nd RF contact 212b and the plurality of first transmission contacts 221. The second-2nd grounding contact 262 can be configured separately from the second-1st grounding contact 261, with the second axial direction (Y-axis direction) as a reference.
[0110] The second-2 grounding contact 262 may include at least one of the second-2 grounding contact member 2621, the second-2 grounding mounting member 2622, and the second-2 connecting protrusion 2623. In this case, since the second-2 grounding contact member 2621, the second-2 grounding mounting member 2622, and the second-2 connecting protrusion 2623 can be implemented to be substantially the same as the first-1 grounding contact member 2521, the first-2 grounding mounting member 2522, and the first-2 connecting protrusion 2523, respectively, detailed descriptions thereof are omitted.
[0111] The second-second grounding contact 262 and the first-second grounding contact 252 can be formed with the same shape. Therefore, the substrate connector 200 of the first embodiment can improve the ease of manufacturing the second-second grounding contact 262 and the first-second grounding contact 252 respectively. In this case, as... Figure 5As shown, the second-second grounding contact 262 and the first-second grounding contact 252 can be configured as point-symmetric with respect to the symmetry point SP. Therefore, since the second-second grounding contact 262 and the first-second grounding contact 252 are formed with the same shape and differ only in their configuration direction, the substrate connector 200 of the first embodiment can further improve the ease of manufacturing the second-second grounding contact 262 and the first-second grounding contact 252.
[0112] Reference Figures 2 to 9 In the substrate connector 200 of the first embodiment, the ground housing 230 can be implemented in the following manner.
[0113] The grounding housing 230 may include: an inner grounding wall 231, an outer grounding wall 232, and a grounding connection wall 233.
[0114] The grounding inner wall 231 faces the insulating portion 240. The grounding inner wall 231 can also be configured to face the inner space 230a. The first-1 grounding contact 251 and the second-1 grounding contact 261 can be connected to the grounding inner wall 231 respectively. The grounding inner wall 231 can be configured to surround all sides relative to the inner space 230a. Although not shown, the grounding inner wall 231 can also be implemented as including a plurality of secondary grounding inner walls, and the plurality of secondary grounding inner walls are arranged on different sides relative to the inner space 230a. In this case, the plurality of secondary grounding inner walls can be spaced apart from each other.
[0115] The grounding inner wall 231 can be connected to the grounding housing of the opposing connector inserted into the inner space 230a. For example, as Figure 9 As shown, the grounding inner wall 231 can be connected to the grounding housing 330 of the opposite connector. As described above, the substrate connector 200 of the first embodiment can further enhance its shielding function through the connection between the grounding housing 230 and the grounding housing of the opposite connector. Furthermore, the substrate connector 200 of the first embodiment can reduce adverse electrical effects such as crosstalk caused by mutual capacitance or inductance between adjacent terminals through the connection between the grounding housing 230 and the grounding housing of the opposite connector. In this case, the substrate connector 200 of the first embodiment can ensure a path for electromagnetic waves to flow into the ground of at least one of the first and second substrates, thereby further enhancing EMI shielding performance.
[0116] The grounding outer wall 232 is spaced apart from the grounding inner wall 231. The grounding outer wall 232 may be disposed outside the grounding inner wall 231. The grounding outer wall 232 may be configured to surround all sides relative to the grounding inner wall 231. The grounding outer wall 232 and the grounding inner wall 231 may be implemented by shielding walls surrounding the sides of the inner space 230a. A plurality of the first RF contacts 211 and a plurality of the second RF contacts 212 may be located in the inner space 230a surrounded by the shielding walls. Thus, the grounding housing 230 may utilize the shielding walls to provide shielding for the plurality of RF contacts 210. Therefore, the substrate connector 200 of the first embodiment may utilize the shielding walls to further improve EMI shielding and EMC performance.
[0117] The grounding outer wall 232 can be grounded by being mounted on the first substrate. In this case, the grounding housing 230 can be grounded through the grounding outer wall 232. With one end of the grounding outer wall 232 connected to the grounding connection wall 233, the other end of the grounding outer wall 232 can be mounted on the first substrate. In this case, the grounding outer wall 232 can be formed to have a higher height than the grounding inner wall 231.
[0118] The grounding connection wall 233 can be connected to both the grounding inner wall 231 and the grounding outer wall 232. The grounding connection wall 233 can be disposed between the grounding inner wall 231 and the grounding outer wall 232. Using the grounding connection wall 233, the grounding inner wall 231 and the grounding outer wall 232 can be electrically connected to each other. Therefore, if the grounding outer wall 232 is mounted on the first substrate and grounded, the grounding connection wall 233 and the grounding inner wall 231 are also grounded, thereby achieving a shielding function.
[0119] The grounding connection wall 233 can be connected to one end of the grounding outer wall 232 and one end of the grounding inner wall 231, respectively. Figure 9 When used as a reference, one end of the grounding outer wall 232 can correspond to the upper end of the grounding outer wall 232, and one end of the grounding inner wall 231 can correspond to the upper end of the grounding inner wall 231. The grounding connection wall 233 is formed as a plate shape arranged in the horizontal direction, and the grounding outer wall 232 and the grounding inner wall 231 can each be formed as a plate shape arranged in the vertical direction. The grounding connection wall 233, the grounding outer wall 232, and the grounding inner wall 231 can also be formed as a single unit.
[0120] The grounding connection wall 233 can be connected to the grounding housing of the opposite connector inserted into the inner space 230a. Therefore, since the grounding outer wall 232 and the grounding connection wall 233 are connected to the grounding housing of the opposite connector, the substrate connector 200 of the first embodiment increases the contact area between the grounding housing 230 and the grounding housing of the opposite connector, thereby further enhancing the shielding function.
[0121] The grounding bottom 234 protrudes from the lower end of the grounding inner wall 231 toward the inner space 230a. That is, the grounding bottom 234 can protrude inward toward the inner side of the grounding inner wall 231. The grounding bottom 234 can be formed into a closed annular shape extending along the lower end of the grounding inner wall 231. The grounding bottom 234 can also be grounded by being mounted on the first substrate. In this case, the grounding housing 330 can be grounded through the grounding bottom 234. If the opposing connector is inserted into the inner space 230a, the grounding bottom 234 can be connected to the grounding housing of the opposing connector. The grounding bottom 234 can be formed into a plate shape arranged in the horizontal direction.
[0122] Here, the grounding housing 230, together with the first grounding contact 250, can provide shielding for the plurality of the first RF contacts 211. The grounding housing 230, together with the second grounding contact 260, can provide shielding for the plurality of the second RF contacts 212.
[0123] In this case, such as Figure 5As shown, the grounding housing 230 may include a first shielding wall 230b, a second shielding wall 230c, a third shielding wall 230d, and a fourth shielding wall 230e. The first shielding wall 230b, the second shielding wall 230c, the third shielding wall 230d, and the fourth shielding wall 230e can be implemented by the grounding inner wall 231, the grounding outer wall 232, and the grounding connection wall 233, respectively. The first shielding wall 230b and the second shielding wall 230c are arranged facing each other with respect to the first axial direction (X-axis direction). With respect to the first axial direction (X-axis direction), a plurality of the first RF contacts 211 and a plurality of the second RF contacts 212 can be located between the first shielding wall 230b and the second shielding wall 230c. With reference to the first axial direction (X-axis direction), a plurality of the first RF contacts 211 can be located at a distance shorter than the distance between them and the first shielding wall 230b. With reference to the first axial direction (X-axis direction), a plurality of the second RF contacts 212 can be located at a distance shorter than the distance between them and the second shielding wall 230c. The third shielding wall 230d and the fourth shielding wall 230e are arranged facing each other with reference to the second axial direction (Y-axis direction). With reference to the second axial direction (Y-axis direction), a plurality of the first RF contacts 211 and a plurality of the second RF contacts 212 can be located between the third shielding wall 230d and the fourth shielding wall 230e.
[0124] The first grounding contact 250 can be configured with reference to the first axial direction (X-axis direction) between a plurality of the first RF contacts 211 and a plurality of the transmission contacts 320. Thus, the plurality of first RF contacts 211 are located with reference to the first axial direction (X-axis direction) between the first shielding wall 230b and the first grounding contact 250, and with reference to the second axial direction (Y-axis direction) between the third shielding wall 230d and the fourth shielding wall 230e. Therefore, the substrate connector 200 of the first embodiment can utilize the first grounding contact 250, the first shielding wall 230b, the third shielding wall 230d, and the fourth shielding wall 230e to enhance the shielding function of the plurality of first RF contacts 211. The first grounding contact 250, the first shielding wall 230b, the third shielding wall 230d, and the fourth shielding wall 230e are arranged on four sides based on a plurality of the first RF contacts 211, thereby achieving shielding against RF signals. In this case, the first grounding contact 250, the first shielding wall 230b, the third shielding wall 230d, and the fourth shielding wall 230e can form the first grounding loop 250a for the plurality of the first RF contacts 211. Figure 5 (As shown in the figure). Therefore, the substrate connector 200 of the first embodiment utilizes the first ground loop 250a to further enhance the shielding function of the plurality of the first RF contacts 211, thereby enabling complete shielding of the plurality of the first RF contacts 211.
[0125] The second grounding contact 260 can be configured between a plurality of the second RF contacts 212 and a plurality of the transmission contacts 320, with the first axial direction (X-axis direction) as a reference. Thus, the plurality of the second RF contacts 212 can be located between the second shielding wall 230c and the second grounding contact 260, with the first axial direction (X-axis direction) as a reference, and can be located between the third shielding wall 230d and the fourth shielding wall 230e, with the second axial direction (Y-axis direction) as a reference. Therefore, the substrate connector 200 of the first embodiment can utilize the second grounding contact 260, the second shielding wall 230c, the third shielding wall 230d, and the fourth shielding wall 230e to enhance the shielding function of the plurality of the second RF contacts 212. The second grounding contact 260, the second shielding wall 230c, the third shielding wall 230d, and the fourth shielding wall 230e are arranged on four sides based on a plurality of the second RF contacts 212, thereby achieving shielding against RF signals. In this case, the second grounding contact 260, the second shielding wall 230c, the third shielding wall 230d, and the fourth shielding wall 230e can form a second grounding loop 260a for the plurality of the second RF contacts 212. Figure 5 (As shown in the figure). Therefore, the substrate connector 200 of the first embodiment utilizes the second ground loop 260a to further enhance the shielding function of the plurality of the second RF contacts 212, thereby enabling complete shielding of the plurality of the second RF contacts 212.
[0126] Reference Figures 2 to 9 In the substrate connector 200 of the first embodiment, the insulating portion 240 can be implemented in the following manner.
[0127] The insulating part 240 may include: an insulating member 241, an insertion member 242, and a connecting member 243.
[0128] The insulating member 241 supports a plurality of the RF contacts 210 and a plurality of the transmission contacts 220. The insulating member 241 may be located in the inner space 230a. The insulating member 241 may be located inside the grounding inner wall 231. The insulating member 241 may be inserted into the inner space of the opposing connector.
[0129] The insertion member 242 is inserted between the inner grounding wall 231 and the outer grounding wall 232. With the insertion member 242 inserted between the inner grounding wall 231 and the outer grounding wall 232, the insulating portion 240 can engage with the grounding housing 230. The insertion member 242 can be inserted between the inner grounding wall 231 and the outer grounding wall 232 in an interference fit manner. The insertion member 242 can be disposed outside the insulating member 241. The insertion member 242 can be configured to surround the outer side of the insulating member 241.
[0130] The connecting member 243 is coupled to both the insertion member 242 and the insulating member 241. The insertion member 242 and the insulating member 241 can be connected to each other using the connecting member 243. With respect to the vertical direction, the connecting member 243 can be formed to be thinner than the insertion member 242 and the insulating member 241. This allows for the arrangement of a space between the insertion member 242 and the insulating member 241, and the insertion member 242 can be inserted into this space. The connecting member 243, the insertion member 242, and the connecting member 243 can also be formed as a single unit.
[0131] The insulating part 240 may include a welding inspection window 244. Figure 7 (as shown in the image).
[0132] The solder inspection window 244 can be formed through the insulating portion 240. The solder inspection window 244 can be used to inspect the state of the plurality of RF mounting members 2111, 2121 mounted on the first substrate. In this case, the plurality of RF contacts 210 can be combined with the insulating portion 240 so that the plurality of RF mounting members 2111, 2121 are located in the solder inspection window 244. Therefore, the plurality of RF mounting members 2111, 2121 are not obstructed by the insulating portion 240. Thus, when the substrate connector 200 of the first embodiment is mounted on the first substrate, the operator can inspect the state of the plurality of RF mounting members 2111, 2121 mounted on the first substrate through the solder inspection window 244. Therefore, even if all of the RF contacts 210, including the plurality of RF mounting members 2111 and 2121, are located inside the grounding housing 230, the substrate connector 200 of the first embodiment can improve the accuracy of the mounting operation of mounting the plurality of RF contacts 210 onto the first substrate. The solder inspection window 244 can be formed through the insulating member 241.
[0133] The insulating portion 240 may further include a plurality of solder inspection windows 244. In this case, the plurality of RF mounting members 2111, 2121 may be located in different solder inspection windows 244. The plurality of transmission mounting members 2201 may also be located in a portion of the plurality of solder inspection windows 244. Therefore, when the substrate connector 200 of the first embodiment is mounted on the first substrate, the operator can inspect the mounting status of the plurality of RF mounting members 2111, 2121 and the plurality of transmission mounting members 2201 on the first substrate through the plurality of solder inspection windows 244. Thus, the substrate connector 200 of the first embodiment can improve the accuracy of the operation of mounting the plurality of RF mounting members 2111, 2121 and the plurality of transmission mounting members 2201 on the first substrate. The plurality of solder inspection windows 244 may be formed through the insulating portion 240 at spaced-apart locations.
[0134] <Substrate connector 300 of the second embodiment>
[0135] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 10 as well as Figure 11 The substrate connector 300 of the second embodiment can be mounted on the second substrate. If the substrate connector 300 of the second embodiment and the opposing connector are assembled together, the second substrate on which the substrate connector 300 of the second embodiment is mounted and the first substrate on which the opposing connector is mounted can be electrically connected. In this case, the opposing connector can also be implemented by the substrate connector 200 of the first embodiment. On the other hand, the opposing connector in the substrate connector 200 of the first embodiment can also be implemented by the substrate connector 300 of the second embodiment.
[0136] The substrate connector 300 of the second embodiment may include: a plurality of RF contacts 310, a plurality of transmission contacts 320, a ground housing 330, and an insulating portion 340. In the substrate connector 200 of the first embodiment, since the plurality of RF contacts 310, the plurality of transmission contacts 320, the ground housing 330, and the insulating portion 340 can be implemented to be substantially the same as the plurality of RF contacts 210, the plurality of transmission contacts 220, the ground housing 230, and the insulating portion 240, respectively, the following description focuses on the differences.
[0137] A first RF contact 311 and a second RF contact 312 of the plurality of RF contacts 310 may be supported on the insulating portion 340 at positions spaced apart from each other along the first axial direction (X-axis direction). The first RF contact 311 may include a first RF mounting member 3111 for mounting to the second substrate. The second RF contact 312 may include a second RF mounting member 3121 for mounting to the second substrate.
[0138] With the first axial direction (X-axis direction) as a reference, a plurality of the transmission contacts 320 may be disposed between the first RF contact 311 and the second RF contact 312. A plurality of first transmission contacts 321 and a plurality of second transmission contacts 322 of the plurality of transmission contacts 320 may be spaced apart from each other along the second axial direction (Y-axis direction). A plurality of first transmission contacts 321 may be spaced apart from each other along the first axial direction (X-axis direction). A plurality of second transmission contacts 322 may be spaced apart from each other along the first axial direction (X-axis direction).
[0139] The insulating portion 340 is attached to the ground housing 330. The ground housing 330 can be grounded by being mounted on the second substrate. The ground housing 330 can be configured to surround the sides of the inner space 330a. The insulating portion 340 can be located in the inner space 330a. The first RF contact 311, the second RF contact 312, and the plurality of transmission contacts 22 can all be located in the inner space 330a. In this case, the first RF mounting member 3111, the second RF mounting member 3121, and the plurality of transmission mounting members 3201 can also all be located in the inner space 330a. The opposing connector can be inserted into the inner space 330a. In this case, a portion of the opposing connector is inserted into the inner space 330a, and a portion of the substrate connector 300 of the second embodiment can be inserted into the inner space of the opposing connector. The ground housing 330 can be configured to surround all sides based on the inner space 330a.
[0140] The insulating portion 340 supports a plurality of the RF contacts 310. The insulating portion 340 may be coupled with a plurality of the RF contacts 310 and a plurality of the transmission contacts 320. The insulating portion 340 may be coupled with the grounding housing 330 such that the plurality of RF contacts 310 and the plurality of transmission contacts 320 are located in the inner space 330a.
[0141] Reference Figures 9 to 14 The substrate connector 300 of the second embodiment may include a first ground contact 350 and a second ground contact 360. Since the first ground contact 350 and the second ground contact 360 can be implemented to be substantially the same as the first ground contact 250 and the second ground contact 260 of the substrate connector 200 of the first embodiment described above, the following description will focus on the differences.
[0142] The first grounding contact 350, together with the grounding housing 330, can provide shielding for the first RF contact 311. The first grounding contact 350 can be positioned between the first RF contact 311 and a plurality of the transmission contacts 320, with the first axial direction (X-axis direction) as a reference. If a relative connector is inserted into the inner space 330a, the first grounding contact 350 can connect with the grounding contacts of the relative connector.
[0143] The second grounding contact 360, together with the grounding housing 330, can provide shielding for the second RF contact 312. The second grounding contact 360 can be configured between a plurality of the transmission contacts 320 and the second RF contact 312, with the first axial direction (X-axis direction) as a reference. If the opposing connector is inserted into the inner space 330a, the second grounding contact 360 can connect with the grounding contacts of the opposing connector.
[0144] Here, the substrate connector 300 of the second embodiment can be implemented as including a plurality of the first RF contacts 311 and a plurality of the second RF contacts 312.
[0145] Reference Figures 9 to 14 A plurality of the first RF contacts 311 and a plurality of the second RF contacts 312 may be spaced apart from each other along the first axial direction (X-axis direction). Based on the first axial direction (X-axis direction), a plurality of transmission contacts 320 may be arranged between the plurality of the first RF contacts 311 and the plurality of the second RF contacts 312. In this case, the first ground contact 350 may shield between the plurality of the first RF contacts 311 and the plurality of the transmission contacts 320, based on the first axial direction (X-axis direction). The second ground contact 260 may shield between the plurality of the second RF contacts 312 and the plurality of the transmission contacts 320, based on the first axial direction (X-axis direction).
[0146] The first-1 RF contact 311a and the first-2 RF contact 311b of the plurality of the first RF contacts 311 can be coupled to the insulating portion 240, such that they are spaced apart from each other along the second axial direction (Y-axis direction). Although Figure 13 The illustration shows that the substrate connector 300 of the second embodiment includes two first RF contacts 311 implemented by the first-1RF contact 311a and the first-2RF contact 311b. However, it is not limited to this, and the substrate connector 300 of the second embodiment may also include three or more first RF contacts 311. On the other hand, in this specification, the description is based on the second embodiment substrate connector 300 including the first-1RF contact 311a and the first-2RF contact 311b.
[0147] When the first-1 RF contact 311a and the first-2 RF contact 311b are provided, the first ground contact 350 may include the first-1 ground contact 351.
[0148] The first-1 ground contact 351 can shield the first-1 RF contact 311a and the plurality of transmission contacts 320 with reference to the first axial direction (X-axis direction), and can shield the first-1 RF contact 311a and the first-1 RF contact 311b with reference to the second axial direction (Y-axis direction) by connecting to the ground contact of the opposite connector. Therefore, even if the first-1 RF contact 311a and the first-2 RF contact 311b transmit different RF signals, the substrate connector 300 of the second embodiment can use the first-1 ground contact 351 to prevent signals from being interfered with between the first-1 RF contact 311a and the first-2 RF contact 311b. Thus, the substrate connector 300 of the second embodiment can be implemented to stably transmit a wider variety of RF signals using the first-1 RF contact 311a and the first-2 RF contact 311b.
[0149] A portion of the first-1 grounding contact 351 may be located between the first-1 RF contact 311a and a plurality of the transmission contacts 320, with the first axial direction (X-axis direction) as a reference. Alternatively, a portion of the first-1 grounding contact 351 may be located between the first-1 RF contact 311a and a plurality of the first transmission contacts 321, with the first axial direction (X-axis direction) as a reference. A portion of the first-1 grounding contact 351 may be configured between the first-1 RF contact 311a and the first-2 RF contact 311b, with the second axial direction (Y-axis direction) as a reference.
[0150] The first-1 grounding contact 351 may include a first-1 grounding contact member 3511 and a first-1 grounding mounting member 3512.
[0151] The first-1 ground contact member 3511 is used to connect with the ground contact of the opposing connector. The first ground contact 350 can be connected to the ground contact of the opposing connector through the first-1 ground contact member 3511, thereby electrically connecting to the ground contact of the opposing connector. Therefore, the shielding force of the first ground contact 350 of the plurality of first RF contacts 311 can be strengthened. For example, the first-1 ground contact member 3511 can be connected to the first-1 ground contact member 2512 of the first-1 ground contact 251 of the substrate connector 200 of the first embodiment.
[0152] The first-1 grounding contact member 3511 can be located between the first-1 RF contact 311a and the plurality of transmission contacts 320, with the first axial direction (X-axis direction) as the reference. Thus, the first-1 grounding contact member 3511 can shield the first-1 RF contact 311a and the plurality of transmission contacts 320, with the first axial direction (X-axis direction) as the reference. In this case, the first-1 grounding contact member 3511 can be located between the first-1 RF contact 311a and the plurality of first transmission contacts 321, with the first axial direction (X-axis direction) as the reference. The first-1 grounding contact member 3511 can be formed as a plate shape arranged along the vertical direction. In this case, the first-1 grounding contact member 3511 can be implemented by bending the plate to arrange it along the vertical direction.
[0153] The first-1 grounding mounting member 3512 is mounted on the second substrate. The first-1 grounding mounting member 3512 can be grounded by being mounted on the second substrate. Thus, the first-1 grounding contact 351 can be grounded on the second substrate via the first-1 grounding mounting member 3512. The first-1 grounding mounting member 3512 can protrude from the first-1 grounding contact member 3511 along the second axial direction (Y-axis direction). The first-1 grounding mounting member 3512 can be formed in a plate shape arranged along the horizontal direction.
[0154] The first-1 grounding contact 351 may include the first-1 grounding connection member 3513.
[0155] The first-1 grounding connection member 3513 is coupled to the first-1 grounding mounting member 3512. The first-1 grounding connection member 3513 may protrude from the first-1 grounding mounting member 3512 along the first axial direction (X-axis direction). The first-1 grounding connection member 3513 may be located between the first-1 RF contact 311a and the first-2 RF contact 311b, with the second axial direction (Y-axis direction) as a reference. Therefore, the first-1 grounding contact 351 can use the first-1 grounding connection member 3513 to shield between the first-1 RF contact 311a and the first-2 RF contact 311b. Thus, the first-1 grounding contact 351 can use the first-1 grounding connection member 3513 to prevent interference such as signals between the first-1 RF contact 311a and the first-2 RF contact 311b. The first-1 grounding connection member 3513 can be formed as a plate shape arranged along the horizontal direction.
[0156] The first-1 grounding connection member 3513 can be spaced equidistant from the first-1 RF contact 311a and the first-2 RF contact 311b, respectively, with the second axial direction (Y-axis direction) as a reference. Therefore, the substrate connector 300 of the second embodiment can reduce the deviation between the shielding performance of the first-1 RF contact 311a and the shielding performance of the first-2 RF contact 311b. Thus, the substrate connector 300 of the second embodiment can stably achieve the shielding function of each of the first-1 RF contact 311a and the first-2 RF contact 311b using the first-1 grounding connection member 3513.
[0157] The first-1 grounding connection member 3513 can also be mounted on the second substrate. The first-1 grounding connection member 3513 can also be connected to the grounding contact of the opposite connector. For example, the first-1 connection protrusion 2515 of the first-1 grounding contact 251 of the substrate connector 200 of the first embodiment can also be connected to the first-1 grounding connection member 3513.
[0158] The first-1 grounding contact 351 may include the first-1 connecting arm 3514.
[0159] The first-1 connecting arm 3514 is used to connect with the ground contact of the opposing connector. The first-1 connecting arm 3514 can elastically move upon connection with the ground contact of the opposing connector. Therefore, since the first-1 ground contact 351 can be firmly maintained in connection with the ground contact of the opposing connector using the elasticity and restoring force of the first-1 connecting arm 3514, the connection stability to the ground contact of the opposing connector can be improved. Therefore, since the substrate connector 300 of the second embodiment can utilize the first-1 connecting arm 3514 to strengthen the connection force to the ground contact of the opposing connector, the shielding performance based on the connection to the ground contact of the opposing connector can be further enhanced. For example, as... Figure 8 As shown, the first-1 connecting arm 3514 can be connected to the first-1 shielding member 2511 of the first-1 grounding contact 251 of the substrate connector 200 of the first embodiment. In this case, the first-1 connecting arm 3514 is elastically moved by being pushed by the first-1 shielding member 2511, thereby applying pressure to the first-1 shielding member 2511 using a restoring force.
[0160] The first-1 connecting arm 3514 can be engaged with the first-1 grounding connection member 3513 in a resiliently movable manner. As the first-1 connecting arm 3514 connects to the grounding contact of the opposing connector, the first-1 connecting arm 3514 can rotate with respect to the portion engaged with the first-1 grounding connection member 3513. The first-1 connecting arm 3514 can be formed in a plate shape arranged along the vertical direction. In this case, the first-1 grounding contact member 2512 can be configured along the vertical direction by bending the plate material.
[0161] The first-1 grounding contact 351 may include a first-1 grounding protrusion 3515.
[0162] The first-1 grounding protrusion 3515 is mounted on the second substrate. The first-1 grounding protrusion 3515 can protrude from the first-1 grounding contact member 3511. In this case, the first-1 grounding contact member 3511 can be combined with both the first-1 grounding protrusion 3515 and the first-1 grounding mounting member 3512. Thus, the first-1 grounding protrusion 3515 and the first-1 grounding mounting member 3512 can be mounted on the second substrate at different positions. Therefore, the substrate connector 300 of the second embodiment can increase the mounting area of the first-1 grounding contact member 351 on the second substrate, thereby further enhancing the shielding performance based on the first-1 grounding contact member 351. The first-1 grounding protrusion 3515 and the first-1 grounding mounting member 3512 can protrude from the first-1 grounding contact member 3511 in opposite directions relative to each other, with the second axial direction (Y-axis direction) as a reference. The first-1 grounding protrusion 3515 can be formed into a plate shape arranged along the horizontal direction.
[0163] The first-1 grounding contact 351 may include the first-1 transmission shielding member 3516.
[0164] The first-1 transmission shielding member 3516 can be located between a plurality of first transmission contacts 321 and a plurality of second transmission contacts 322, with the second axial direction (Y-axis direction) as a reference. The first-1 transmission shielding member 3516 can shield between the plurality of first transmission contacts 321 and the plurality of second transmission contacts 322, with the second axial direction (Y-axis direction) as a reference. Therefore, the first-1 grounding contact 351 can utilize the first-1 transmission shielding member 3516 to prevent signals from being interfered with between the plurality of first transmission contacts 321 and the plurality of second transmission contacts 322. Thus, the substrate connector 300 of the second embodiment can utilize the plurality of first transmission contacts 321 and the plurality of second transmission contacts 322 to transmit a wider variety of signals, data, power, etc., thereby improving its versatility for application in a wider variety of electronic products. The first-1 transmission shielding member 3516 may be formed in a plate shape arranged along the horizontal direction between a plurality of first transmission contacts 321 and a plurality of second transmission contacts 322.
[0165] The first-1 transmission shielding member 3516 can be spaced equidistant from the plurality of first transmission contacts 321 and the plurality of second transmission contacts 322, with the second axial direction (Y-axis direction) as a reference. Therefore, the substrate connector 300 of the second embodiment can reduce the deviation between the shielding performance of the plurality of first transmission contacts 321 and the shielding performance of the plurality of second transmission contacts 322.
[0166] The first-1 transmission shielding member 3516 and the first-1 grounding connection member 3513 can protrude from the first-1 grounding mounting member 3512 in opposite directions relative to each other, with the first axial direction (X-axis direction) as a reference. In this case, the first-1 transmission shielding member 3516 and the first-1 grounding connection member 3513 can be arranged on the same line. Therefore, the substrate connector 300 of the second embodiment can utilize the first-1 transmission shielding member 3516 and the first-1 grounding connection member 3513 to achieve shielding functions for a plurality of the first RF contacts 311 and for a plurality of the transmission contacts 320, and reduce the overall size with the second axial direction (Y-axis direction) as a reference, thereby achieving miniaturization.
[0167] The first-1 transmission shielding member 3516 can also be mounted on the second substrate. The grounding contact of the opposing connector can also be connected to the first-1 transmission shielding member 3516. For example, the upper part of the first-1 transmission shielding member 2517 of the first-1 grounding contact 251 of the substrate connector 200 of the first embodiment can also be connected to the first-1 transmission shielding member 3516.
[0168] The first grounding contact 350 may include a first-second grounding contact 352.
[0169] The first-2 grounding contact 352 can be located between the first-2 RF contact 311b and the plurality of transmission contacts 320, with the first axial direction (X-axis direction) as a reference. Thus, the first-2 grounding contact 352 can shield the area between the first-2 RF contact 311b and the plurality of transmission contacts 320. The first-2 grounding contact 352 can be configured separately from the first-1 grounding contact 351, with the second axial direction (Y-axis direction) as a reference. The first-2 grounding contact 352 and the first-1 grounding contact 351 can be formed in different forms from each other. For example, the first-2 grounding contact 352 can be formed without the first-1 grounding connection member 3513, the first-1 connecting arm 3514, the first-1 grounding protrusion 3515, and the first-1 transmission shielding member 3516 present in the first-1 grounding contact 351. Therefore, compared to the embodiment where the first-2 grounding contact 352 is formed in the same form as the first-1 grounding contact 351, the substrate connector 300 of the second embodiment not only improves the ease of manufacturing the first-2 grounding contact 352, but also reduces the material cost for manufacturing the first-2 grounding contact 352. In this case, shielding between the first-1 RF contact 311a and the first-2 RF contact 311b can be achieved through the first-1 grounding contact 351.
[0170] The first-second grounding contact 352 may include a first-second grounding contact member 3521 and a first-second grounding mounting member 3522.
[0171] The first-second grounding contact member 3521 is used to connect with the grounding contact of the opposing connector. The first grounding contact member 350 can be connected to the grounding contact of the opposing connector via the first-second grounding contact member 3521, thereby achieving electrical connection with the grounding contact of the opposing connector. Therefore, as the first grounding contact member 350 is connected to the grounding contact of the opposing connector via the first-second grounding contact member 3521, gaps caused by the first-second grounding contact member 352 and the first-first grounding contact member 351 being spaced apart from each other along the second axial direction (Y-axis direction) can be shielded. In this case, both the first-second grounding contact member 3521 and the first-first grounding contact member 3511 can be connected to the grounding contact of the opposing connector.
[0172] The first-second grounding mounting member 3522 is mounted on the second substrate. The first-second grounding mounting member 3522 can be grounded by being mounted on the second substrate. Thus, the first-second grounding contact 352 can be grounded on the second substrate via the first-second grounding mounting member 3522. The first-second grounding mounting member 3522 can protrude from the first-second grounding contact member 3521 along the second axial direction (Y-axis direction). In this case, the first-second grounding mounting member 3522 can be disposed between the first-second RF contact 311b and the plurality of second transmission contacts 322, with the first axial direction (X-axis direction) as a reference. Thus, the first-second grounding mounting member 3522 can shield the area between the first-second RF contact 311b and the plurality of second transmission contacts 322. The first-second grounding mounting member 3522 can be formed in a plate shape arranged in a horizontal direction.
[0173] As described above, the substrate connector 300 of the second embodiment can utilize the first-1 ground contact 351, the first-2 ground contact 352, and the ground housing 330 to realize a first ground loop 350a for the first-1 RF contact 311a and the first-2 RF contact 311b. Figure 5 (As shown in the figure). Therefore, the substrate connector 300 of the second embodiment can utilize the first ground loop 350a to further enhance the shielding performance of the first-1RF contact 311a and the first-2RF contact 311b, thereby achieving complete shielding of the first-1RF contact 311a and the first-2RF contact 311b.
[0174] Reference Figures 9 to 14 When a plurality of the second RF contacts 312 are provided, the second ground contact 360 can shield the plurality of the second RF contacts 312 and the plurality of transmission contacts 320 with reference to the first axial direction (X-axis direction), and can shield the plurality of the second RF contacts 312 with reference to the second axial direction (Y-axis direction). Therefore, the substrate connector 300 of the second embodiment can utilize the second ground contact 360 to achieve shielding between the plurality of the second RF contacts 312 and the plurality of transmission contacts 320, and can additionally achieve shielding between the plurality of the second RF contacts 312. Therefore, the substrate connector 300 of the second embodiment is implemented to transmit a wider variety of RF signals using a plurality of the second RF contacts 312, thereby improving its versatility for application in a wider variety of electronic products.
[0175] The second-1 RF contact 312a and the second-2 RF contact 312b of the plurality of second RF contacts 312 can be spaced apart from each other along the second axial direction (Y-axis direction). Although Figure 13 The diagram illustrates a substrate connector 300 according to a second embodiment, comprising two second RF contacts 312 implemented by the second-1 RF contact 312a and the second-2 RF contact 312b. However, the second embodiment of the substrate connector 300 may include three or more second RF contacts 312. Furthermore, in this specification, the description is based on the second embodiment of the substrate connector 300 comprising the second-1 RF contact 312a and the second-2 RF contact 312b.
[0176] When the second-1 RF contact 312a and the second-2 RF contact 312b are provided, the second grounding contact 360 may include the second-1 grounding contact 361.
[0177] The second-1 grounding contact 361 can shield the second-1 RF contact 312a and the plurality of transmission contacts 320 with reference to the first axial direction (X-axis direction), and can shield the second-1 RF contact 312a and the second-2 RF contact 312b with reference to the second axial direction (Y-axis direction). Therefore, the substrate connector 300 of the second embodiment is implemented to transmit a wider variety of RF signals using a plurality of the second RF contacts 312, thereby improving its versatility for application in a wider variety of electronic products.
[0178] A portion of the second-1 grounding contact 361 may be positioned between the second-1 RF contact 312a and a plurality of second transmission contacts 322, with reference to the first axial direction (X-axis direction), thereby achieving shielding force. In this case, the plurality of second transmission contacts 322 may be configured between the first-2 RF contact 211b and the second-1 RF contact 312a, with reference to the first axial direction (X-axis direction). A portion of the second-1 grounding contact 361 may be configured between the second-1 RF contact 312a and the second-2 RF contact 312b, with reference to the second axial direction (Y-axis direction). In this case, the second-2 RF contact 312b may be spaced apart from the first-1 RF contact 211a along the first axial direction (X-axis direction).
[0179] The second-first grounding contact 361 may include at least one of the following: the second-first grounding contact member 3611, the second-first grounding mounting member 3612, the second-first grounding connection member 3613, the second-first connecting wall 3614, the second-first grounding protrusion 3615, and the second-first transmission shielding member 3616. In this case, the second-first grounding contact member 3611, the second-first grounding mounting member 3612, the second-first grounding connection member 3613, the second-first connecting wall 3614, the second-first grounding protrusion 3615, and the second-first transmission shielding member 3616 can be implemented to be substantially the same as the first-first grounding contact member 3511, the first-first grounding mounting member 3512, the first-first grounding connection member 3513, the first-first connecting arm 3514, the first-first grounding protrusion 3515, and the first-first transmission shielding member 3516, respectively, and therefore detailed descriptions of this are omitted.
[0180] The second-first grounding contact 361 and the first-first grounding contact 351 can be formed with the same shape as each other. Therefore, the substrate connector 300 of the second embodiment can improve the ease of manufacturing the second-first grounding contact 361 and the first-first grounding contact 351 respectively. In this case, as... Figure 13 As shown, the second-first grounding contact 361 and the first-first grounding contact 351 can be configured as point-symmetric with respect to a symmetry point SP. The symmetry point SP is a position that is equidistant from the side walls 330b and 330c of the grounding housing 330, which are spaced apart from each other with respect to the first axial direction (X-axis direction), and also equidistant from the side walls 330d and 330e of the grounding housing 330, which are spaced apart from each other with respect to the second axial direction (Y-axis direction). Therefore, the substrate connector 300 of the second embodiment is implemented such that the second-first grounding contact 361 and the first-first grounding contact 351 are formed with the same shape and differ only in their configuration direction, thus further improving the ease of manufacturing the second-first grounding contact 361 and the first-first grounding contact 351. In this configuration, the second-1 RF contact 312a and the first-1 RF contact 311a can be configured as point-symmetric with respect to the symmetry point SP. Similarly, the second-2 RF contact 312b and the first-2 RF contact 311b can be configured as point-symmetric with respect to the symmetry point SP.
[0181] On the other hand, the second-first grounding connection member 3613, the second-first transmission shielding member 3616, the first-first grounding connection member 3513, and the first-first transmission shielding member 3516 are arranged on the same line. Therefore, the substrate connector 300 of the second embodiment can not only achieve shielding between a plurality of second RF contacts 312, between a plurality of first RF contacts 311, and between a plurality of first transmission contacts 321 and a plurality of second transmission contacts 322, but also reduce its overall size based on the second axial direction (Y-axis direction), thereby achieving miniaturization. The second-first transmission shielding member 3616 and the first-first transmission shielding member 3516 can be arranged spaced apart from each other along the first axial direction (X-axis direction).
[0182] The second grounding contact 360 may include a second-second grounding contact 362.
[0183] The second-2 grounding contact 362 can be located between the second-2 RF contact 312b and the plurality of transmission contacts 320, with the first axial direction (X-axis direction) as a reference. The second-2 grounding contact 362 can shield the area between the second-2 RF contact 312b and the plurality of transmission contacts 320. In this case, the second-2 grounding contact 362 can be configured between the second-2 RF contact 312b and the plurality of first transmission contacts 321. The second-2 grounding contact 362 can be spaced apart from the second-1 grounding contact 361 with the second axial direction (Y-axis direction) as a reference.
[0184] The second-2 grounding contact 362 may include a second-2 grounding contact member 3621 and a second-2 grounding mounting member 3622. In this case, the second-2 grounding contact member 3621 and the second-2 grounding mounting member 3622 may be substantially the same as the first-1 grounding contact member 2521 and the first-2 grounding mounting member 3522, respectively, and therefore a detailed description thereof is omitted.
[0185] The second-second grounding contact 362 and the first-second grounding contact 352 can be formed with the same shape. Therefore, the substrate connector 300 of the second embodiment can improve the ease of manufacturing the second-second grounding contact 362 and the first-second grounding contact 352 respectively. In this case, as... Figure 5As shown, the second-second grounding contact 362 and the first-second grounding contact 352 can be configured as point-symmetric with respect to the symmetry point SP. Therefore, since the second-second grounding contact 362 and the first-second grounding contact 352 are formed with the same shape and differ only in their configuration direction, the substrate connector 300 of the second embodiment can further enhance the ease of manufacturing the second-second grounding contact 362 and the first-second grounding contact 352.
[0186] Reference Figures 9 to 15 In the substrate connector 300 of the second embodiment, the ground housing 330 can be implemented in the following manner.
[0187] The grounding housing 330 may include: a grounding side wall 331, a grounding upper wall 332, and a grounding lower wall 333.
[0188] The grounding sidewall 331 faces the insulating portion 240. The grounding sidewall 331 may be configured to face the inner space 330a. The grounding sidewall 331 may be configured to surround all sides relative to the inner space 330a.
[0189] The grounding sidewall 331 can be connected to the grounding housing of the opposing connector inserted into the inner space 330a. For example, as Figure 9 As shown, the grounding sidewall 331 can be connected to the grounding inner wall 231 of the grounding housing 230 of the first embodiment's substrate connector 200. As described above, the second embodiment's substrate connector 300 can further enhance its shielding function through the connection between the grounding housing 330 and the grounding housing of the opposing connector. Furthermore, the second embodiment's substrate connector 300 can reduce adverse electrical effects such as crosstalk caused by mutual capacitance or inductance between adjacent terminals through the connection between the grounding housing 330 and the grounding housing of the opposing connector. In this case, the second embodiment's substrate connector 300 can ensure a path for electromagnetic waves to flow into the ground of at least one of the second and first substrates, thereby further enhancing EMI shielding performance.
[0190] The upper grounding wall 332 is coupled to the lower grounding sidewall 331. The upper grounding wall 332 may be coupled to one end of the lower grounding sidewall 331. The upper grounding wall 332 may protrude from the lower grounding sidewall 331 toward the inner space 330a. The upper grounding wall 332 may be connected to the grounding housing of the opposite connector inserted into the inner space 330a. Therefore, since the upper grounding wall 332 and the lower grounding sidewall 331 are connected to the grounding housing of the opposite connector, the substrate connector 300 of the second embodiment can increase the contact area between the grounding housing 330 and the grounding housing of the opposite connector, thereby further enhancing the shielding function. For example, as... Figure 9 As shown, the grounding upper wall 332 can be connected to the grounding bottom 234 of the grounding housing 230 of the substrate connector 200 of the first embodiment.
[0191] The lower grounding wall 333 is coupled to the grounding sidewall 331. The lower grounding wall 333 may be coupled to the other end of the grounding sidewall 331. The lower grounding wall 333 may protrude from the grounding sidewall 331 toward the opposite side of the inner space 330a. The lower grounding wall 333 may be configured to surround all sides relative to the grounding sidewall 331. The lower grounding wall 333 and the grounding sidewall 331 may be implemented by shielding walls surrounding the sides of the inner space 330a. A plurality of the first RF contacts 311 and a plurality of the second RF contacts 312 may be located in the inner space 330a surrounded by the shielding walls. Thus, the grounding housing 330 may utilize the shielding walls to provide shielding for the plurality of RF contacts 310. Therefore, the substrate connector 300 of the second embodiment may utilize the shielding walls to further improve EMI shielding performance and EMC performance. The lower grounding wall 333 may be grounded by mounting it to the second substrate. In this case, the grounding housing 330 can be grounded through the grounding lower wall 333.
[0192] The lower grounding wall 333 and the upper grounding wall 332 can be formed into a plate shape arranged along the horizontal direction, and the side grounding wall 331 can be formed into a plate shape arranged along the vertical direction. The lower grounding wall 333, the upper grounding wall 332, and the side grounding wall 331 can also be formed as a single unit.
[0193] Here, the grounding housing 330, together with the first grounding contact 350, can provide shielding for the plurality of the first RF contacts 311. The grounding housing 330, together with the second grounding contact 360, can provide shielding for the plurality of the second RF contacts 312.
[0194] In this case, such as Figure 13As shown, the grounding housing 330 may include a first shielding wall 330b, a second shielding wall 330c, a third shielding wall 330d, and a fourth shielding wall 330e. The first shielding wall 330b, the second shielding wall 330c, the third shielding wall 330d, and the fourth shielding wall 330e may be implemented by the grounding side wall 331, the grounding lower wall 333, and the grounding upper wall 332, respectively. The first shielding wall 330b and the second shielding wall 330c are arranged facing each other with respect to the first axial direction (X-axis direction). With respect to the first axial direction (X-axis direction), a plurality of the first RF contacts 311 and a plurality of the second RF contacts 312 may be located between the first shielding wall 330b and the second shielding wall 330c. With reference to the first axial direction (X-axis direction), a plurality of the first RF contacts 311 can be located at a distance shorter than the distance between them and the first shielding wall 330b. With reference to the first axial direction (X-axis direction), a plurality of the second RF contacts 312 can be located at a distance shorter than the distance between them and the second shielding wall 330c. The third shielding wall 330d and the fourth shielding wall 330e can be arranged facing each other with reference to the second axial direction (Y-axis direction). With reference to the second axial direction (Y-axis direction), a plurality of the first RF contacts 311 and a plurality of the second RF contacts 312 can be located between the third shielding wall 330d and the fourth shielding wall 330e.
[0195] The first grounding contact 350 can be configured with reference to the first axial direction (X-axis direction) between a plurality of the first RF contacts 311 and a plurality of the transmission contacts 320. Thus, the plurality of the first RF contacts 311 can be located with reference to the first axial direction (X-axis direction) between the first shielding wall 330b and the first grounding contact 350, and with reference to the second axial direction (Y-axis direction) between the third shielding wall 330d and the fourth shielding wall 330e. Therefore, the substrate connector 300 of the second embodiment can utilize the first grounding contact 350, the first shielding wall 330b, the third shielding wall 330d, and the fourth shielding wall 330e to enhance the shielding function of the plurality of the first RF contacts 311. The first grounding contact 350, the first shielding wall 330b, the third shielding wall 330d, and the fourth shielding wall 330e are arranged on four sides based on a plurality of the first RF contacts 311, thereby achieving shielding against RF signals. In this case, the first grounding contact 350, the first shielding wall 330b, the third shielding wall 330d, and the fourth shielding wall 330e can form the first grounding loop 350a for the plurality of the first RF contacts 311. Figure 5 (As shown in the figure). Therefore, the substrate connector 300 of the second embodiment can utilize the first ground loop 350a to further enhance the shielding function of the plurality of the first RF contacts 311, thereby achieving complete shielding of the plurality of the first RF contacts 311.
[0196] The second grounding contact 360 can be disposed between a plurality of the second RF contacts 312 and a plurality of the transmission contacts 320, with the first axial direction (X-axis direction) as a reference. Thus, the plurality of the second RF contacts 312 can be located between the second shielding wall 330c and the second grounding contact 360 with the first axial direction (X-axis direction) as a reference, and can be located between the third shielding wall 330d and the fourth shielding wall 330e with the second axial direction (Y-axis direction) as a reference. Therefore, the substrate connector 300 of the second embodiment can utilize the second grounding contact 360, the second shielding wall 330c, the third shielding wall 330d, and the fourth shielding wall 330e to enhance the shielding function of the plurality of the second RF contacts 312. The second grounding contact 360, the second shielding wall 330c, the third shielding wall 330d, and the fourth shielding wall 330e are arranged on four sides based on a plurality of the second RF contacts 312, thereby achieving shielding against RF signals. In this case, the second grounding contact 360, the second shielding wall 330c, the third shielding wall 330d, and the fourth shielding wall 330e can form a second grounding loop 360a for the plurality of the second RF contacts 312. Figure 5 (As shown in the figure). Therefore, the substrate connector 300 of the second embodiment can utilize the second ground loop 360a to further enhance the shielding function of the plurality of the second RF contacts 312, thereby achieving complete shielding of the plurality of the second RF contacts 312.
[0197] Reference Figures 9 to 15 The grounding housing 330 may include a grounding protection wall 334.
[0198] The grounding protection wall 334 is used to protect the first-1 connecting arm 3514. The grounding protection wall 334 can be combined with the grounding upper wall 332. A protective groove 3341 can be formed in the grounding protection wall 334. The first-1 connecting arm 3514 can be inserted into the protective groove 3341. Thus, the grounding protection wall 334 can protect the first-1 connecting arm 3514 inserted into the protective groove 3341 relative to the outside. The first-1 connecting arm 3514 can be elastically moved in the state of being inserted into the protective groove 3341 while connected to the grounding contact of the opposite connector. Although not shown, the grounding protection wall 334 can also be connected to the grounding housing of the opposite connector inserted into the inner space 330a. The grounding protection wall 334 and the grounding upper wall 332 can also be formed integrally. The grounding protection wall 334 can be formed in the shape of a plate arranged along the vertical direction.
[0199] The grounding protection wall 334 can be combined with the grounding upper wall 332 to protrude from the first shielding wall 330b toward the inner space 330a. The substrate connector 300 of the second embodiment may also include a plurality of the grounding protection walls 334. In this case, any one of the plurality of grounding protection walls 334 can be combined with the first shielding wall 330b to protect the first-1 connecting arm 3514, and any one of the plurality of grounding protection walls 334 can be combined with the second shielding wall 330c to protect the second-1 connecting wall 3614.
[0200] Reference Figures 9 to 14 In the substrate connector 300 of the second embodiment, the insulating portion 340 may include a solder inspection window 341.
[0201] The solder inspection window 341 can be formed through the insulating portion 340. The solder inspection window 341 can be used to inspect the state of the plurality of RF mounting members 3111, 3121 mounted on the second substrate. In this case, the plurality of RF contacts 310 can be combined with the insulating portion 340 so that the plurality of RF mounting members 3111, 3121 are located within the solder inspection window 341. Therefore, the plurality of RF mounting members 3111, 3121 are not obstructed by the insulating portion 340. Thus, when the substrate connector 300 of the second embodiment is mounted on the second substrate, the operator can inspect the state of the plurality of RF mounting members 3111, 3121 mounted on the second substrate through the solder inspection window 341. Therefore, even if all of the plurality of RF contacts 310, including the plurality of the RF mounting components 3111 and 3121, are located inside the ground housing 330, the substrate connector 300 of the second embodiment can improve the accuracy of the installation operation of mounting the plurality of the RF contacts 310 onto the second substrate.
[0202] The insulating portion 340 may further include a plurality of solder inspection windows 341. In this case, the plurality of RF mounting members 3111, 3121 may be located in different solder inspection windows 341. The plurality of transmission mounting members 3201 may also be located in a portion of the plurality of solder inspection windows 341. Therefore, when the substrate connector 300 of the second embodiment is mounted on the second substrate, the operator can inspect the mounting status of the plurality of RF mounting members 3111, 3121 and the plurality of transmission mounting members 3201 on the second substrate through the plurality of solder inspection windows 341. Thus, the substrate connector 300 of the second embodiment can improve the accuracy of the operation of mounting the plurality of RF mounting members 3111, 3121 and the plurality of transmission mounting members 3201 on the second substrate. The plurality of solder inspection windows 341 may be formed through the insulating portion 340 at spaced-apart locations.
