AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In existing orthogonal connectors, when the vertical bending structure of the signal terminal and the ground terminal is aligned in the second direction to ensure coupling effect, there is not enough space on the ground terminal to make a ground contact, which affects the shielding effect.

Method used

The grounding contact and grounding terminal are set separately, and are electrically connected to the grounding terminal through a shield or adapter. This avoids leaving space for the grounding contact on the material strip and ensures that the vertical bending structure of the signal terminal is aligned in the second direction.

Benefits of technology

Without increasing the size of the grounding terminal, the coupling effect of the differential pair is enhanced, and the signal transmission quality is improved.
