[0048] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0049] See also Figure 1-Figure 10 , this embodiment discloses a low-profile connector cable assembly, the cable assembly includes an insulating mounting seat 101, an A-side high-speed terminal wafer piece 102 and a B-side high-speed terminal wafer piece 103 installed in the insulating mounting seat 101, and the A-side high-speed terminal wafer piece 102 and the B-side high-speed terminal wafer piece 103 are arranged opposite to each other;

[0050] The A-side high-speed terminal wafer 102 and the B-side high-speed terminal wafer 103 both include a wafer 104 and a high-speed terminal 105 fixedly disposed on the wafer 104;

[0051] The wafer 104 in the A-side high-speed terminal wafer 102 and the B-side high-speed terminal wafer 103 both include an L-shaped connecting portion 106, and the L-shaped connecting portions 106 are mutually clamped together to form a U-shaped structure;

[0052] A first extension portion 107 is provided on the wafer 104 of the A-side high-speed terminal wafer 102, and the first extension portion 107 and the upper end surface of the wafer 104 form a first step surface 108, and the upper end of the high-speed terminal 105 of the A-side high-speed terminal wafer 102 is located on the first step surface 108; a second extension portion 109 is provided on the side surface of the wafer in the B-side high-speed terminal wafer 103, and the second extension portion 109 and the side surface of the wafer form a second step surface 110, and the upper end of the high-speed terminal 105 in the B-side high-speed terminal wafer 103 is located at the second step surface 110, and the height of the first step surface 108 is higher than the height of the second step surface 110, and the high-speed terminal 105 located on the first step surface 108 and the second step surface 110 is connected to the wire 130, and the wire 130 is led out from a direction parallel to the first step surface 108 and the second step surface 110.

[0053] The present invention provides a first step surface 108 and a second step surface 110 on a wafer 104, and makes the height of the first step surface 108 higher than the height of the second step surface 110. The high-speed terminal 105 located on the first step surface 108 and the second step surface 110 is connected with a wire 130, and the wire 130 is led out from a direction parallel to the first step surface 108 and the second step surface 110, thereby effectively reducing the structural size of the tail wire plastic package; at the same time, the tail welding wire position does not need to be bent, thereby ensuring the impedance of the cable welding position and the stability of the shielding structure, thereby ensuring the high-speed transmission performance of the entire cable, and improving the transmission rate, so that the transmission rate reaches 64 GT / s.

[0054] Furthermore, in actual use, the upper ends of the high-speed terminals 105 in the A-side high-speed terminal wafer 102 and the B-side high-speed terminal wafer 103 are bent at right angles so that the formed bent portions are located on the first step surface 108 and the second step surface 110 to ensure horizontal cable outlet.

[0055] More importantly, in the present application, the height of the first step surface 108 is higher than the height of the second step surface 110 , so that the cables can be staggered to facilitate the lead-out of the cables and avoid the increase of thickness due to bending.

[0056] Furthermore, a clamping block 111 and a clamping slot 112 are respectively provided on the side where the wafer 104 of the A-side high-speed terminal wafer 102 and the B-side high-speed terminal wafer 103 are close to each other, and clamping and fixing are achieved through the clamping block 111 and the clamping slot 112 .

[0057] The wafers 104 can be locked together by the provided locking block 111 and the locking slot 112 . The locking block 111 and the locking slot 112 are circular structures or dovetail structures.

[0058] The engagement of the block 111 and the slot 112 can provide a certain relative fixing force between the wafers 104, provide fixing force for the assembly of the two wafers 104 and the inner shielding sheet 119 before installation, and also ensure the mechanical balance of the contacts on both sides of the finished product.

[0059] Furthermore, in actual use, the insulating mounting seat 101 is also provided with a tin bar positioning groove 113, which is convenient for fixing the tin bar during automatic wire welding and increases the manufacturability of the wire welding.

[0060] Furthermore, the high-speed terminal 105 and the wire 130 are connected together by welding.

[0061] This embodiment can modify the curved wire-out method in the prior art into a straight wire-out method and a stepped wiring method, thereby greatly reducing the overall thickness.

[0062] Among them, in some preferred implementation cases, the cable assembly also includes a wire-wrapped plastic package 114, and the wire-wrapped plastic package 114 is used to plastic-package the A-side high-speed terminal wafer 102 and the B-side high-speed terminal wafer 103 on the insulating mounting seat 101.

[0063] Furthermore, a wedge-shaped groove 115 is provided on the side of the insulating mounting seat 101. After the wire-wrapped plastic package is encapsulated on the insulating mounting seat 101, the wedge-shaped structure 116 formed on the wire-wrapped plastic package fits with the wedge-shaped groove 115, which ensures the fixation of the contact and the cable retention force when in cooperation.

[0064] Furthermore, in some preferred implementation cases, the wafer 104 in the A-side high-speed terminal wafer 102 and the B-side high-speed terminal wafer 103 is provided with a side hanging platform 117 on the side close to the insulating mounting seat 101, and the insulating mounting seat 101 is provided with a hanging hole 118 corresponding to the side hanging platform 117. The provided hanging hole 118 and the side hanging platform 117 can improve the fastening effect between the wafer 104 and the insulating mounting seat 101, and achieve the purpose of double reinforcement under the action of the wedge structure 116 and the wedge groove 115.

[0065] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the cable assembly also includes an inner shielding plate 119 and several outer shielding plates 123, the inner shielding plate 119 includes a U-shaped body 120 and several contact springs 121 and shielding plates 122 arranged on both sides of the U-shaped body 120; the U-shaped body 120 is located in the U-shaped structure, the contact springs 121 correspond one by one to the ground PINs of the high-speed terminal 105 in the A-side high-speed terminal wafer plate 102 and the B-side high-speed terminal wafer plate 103 and contact each other, and the shielding plate 122 is used for installation in conjunction with the insulating mounting seat 101; the outer shielding plate 123 is installed on the insulating mounting seat 101, and the springs 125 on the outer shielding plate 123 contact the ground PINs of the high-speed terminal 105 in the A-side high-speed terminal wafer plate 102 and the B-side high-speed terminal wafer plate 103.

[0066] In this embodiment, the shielding sheet 122 is mainly used to shield electromagnetic waves. For better installation and positioning, the shielding sheet 122 and the insulating mounting seat 101 are matched with each other.

[0067] The U-shaped body 120 can be matched with the support structure 133 on the insulating mounting seat 101 to fix the inner shielding sheet 119, and the shielding sheet 122 is matched with the mounting structure on the insulating mounting seat 101 to effectively shield the electromagnetic waves emitted from the inner side of the connector differential pair.

[0068] Among them, the outer shielding plate 123 includes a vertical portion 124 and the elastic pieces 125 arranged on both sides of the vertical portion 124, and a mounting groove 126 is arranged on the insulating mounting seat 101. The vertical portion 124 is inserted into the mounting groove 126, and a supporting boss 127 is arranged in the mounting groove 126. The outer shielding plate 123 contacts the supporting boss 127.

[0069] The vertical portion 124 and the spring pieces 125 on both sides make the overall structure of the outer shielding sheet 123 a T-shaped structure. The vertical portion 124 is inserted into the mounting groove 126 to fix the outer shielding sheet 123. When the wafer sheet 104 is installed, the compressed spring piece 125 is in elastic contact with the ground PIN straight surface section in the wafer sheet 104. The support boss 127 provides an effective spring arm length for elastic deformation, thereby ensuring the reliability of elastic deformation and the reliability of contact.

[0070] It should be noted that, in actual use, the support boss 127 is a rib disposed on the insulating mounting seat 101. At the same time, the signal differential pair is disposed below the vertical portion 124, which plays a good shielding role for the electromagnetic waves scattered outside the signal differential pair connector.

[0071] Furthermore, in actual use, the support boss 127 is vertically arranged and located in the mounting groove 126 , and the support boss 127 is in close contact with the vertical portion 124 .

[0072] Furthermore, in some preferred embodiments, the upper portion of the mounting groove 126 has a clearance area 134 , and the clearance area 134 corresponds to the spring piece 125 .

[0073] Furthermore, in actual use, the position where the wafer 104 and the insulating mounting seat 101 meet is provided with mutually staggered concave structures 128 and protruding structures 129 .

[0074] Furthermore, the wafer 104 of the A-side high-speed terminal wafer 102 and the B-side high-speed terminal wafer 103 is provided with a notch, and the notch corresponds to the ground PIN of the high-speed terminal 105 in the A-side high-speed terminal wafer 102 and the B-side high-speed terminal wafer 103 .

[0075] In actual use, a plurality of low-speed fisheye terminals A131 and low-speed fisheye terminals B132 are also installed on the edge mounting seat.

[0076] Furthermore, in actual use, the insulating mounting seat 101 is provided with a chamfer 135 for matching with the first chamfer of the PCIe board, which can ensure that no interference occurs during the plugging and unplugging process. At the same time, it can also effectively increase the strength of the insulating mounting seat 101 at the position to ensure the overall strength of the product.

[0077] SI simulation is performed on the low-profile connector cable assembly disclosed in the embodiment, and the simulation results are as follows:

[0078] Insertion loss results are as follows: Fig.11 As shown in the figure, the insertion loss maintains a 50% margin within the insertion loss specification range of PCIE GEN6, providing sufficient transmission margin for high-speed links. Figure 5 The size of the outer shielding sheet 123 and the position of the contact at the bend are designed to change the energy distribution at the bend and weaken the resonant amplitude of the terminal at a high frequency. At the same time, the inflection point position of the terminal bend will also be optimized to the amplitude of the insertion loss at a high frequency, ensuring that the transmission system can stably transmit at high speed without being affected.

[0079] exist Fig.11 In the figure, IL represents the insertion loss, and diff1-7 represents the insertion loss of the two rows of terminal channels.

[0080] The return loss results are as follows: Fig.12 As shown, the size design of this structure ensures that its impedance is controlled within ±5Ω of 85 ohms, achieving good impedance matching in the 85Ω ecosystem of the PCIE transmission protocol, making the return loss margin large enough to reduce the reflection of the transmission energy.

[0081] exist Fig.12 In the figure, RL represents the return loss, diff1-7 represents the return loss of the two rows of terminal channels, and iRL is the cumulative return loss value in the time domain.

[0082] The near-end and far-end crosstalk results are as follows: Fig.13 and Fig.14 As shown, in Fig.13 In the figure, NEXT is near-end crosstalk, where channel 2 is the victim line and channels 5, 6, and 7 are the attack lines. Fig.14 In the figure, FEXT is far-end crosstalk, channel 2 is the victim line, and channels 8 and 10 are the attack lines.

[0083] In this application Figure 11-14 In the figure, the horizontal axis Frequency represents frequency in GHZ (Hertz); the vertical axis Magnitude represents amplitude in dB (decibel).

[0084] like Fig.10 The inner shielding sheet 119 is designed to be U-shaped in order to better isolate the two rows of signal terminals. At the same time, the larger the vertical area of ​​the inner shielding sheet 119, the better the near-end crosstalk. However, its size design needs to consider the impact of the inner shielding sheet 119 on the insertion loss, rather than simply extending the inner shielding sheet 119. Therefore, the size of the inner shielding sheet 119 structure improves the near-end and far-end crosstalk, giving it a margin of more than 50%, ensuring that when multiple differential pairs work, they can work without interfering with each other.

[0085] In addition, the present invention also discloses a method for assembling a low-profile connector cable assembly, and the method is used for assembling the low-profile connector cable assembly described above;

[0086] The specific steps are as follows:

[0087] Install the inner shielding sheet 119 on the insulating mounting seat 101;

[0088] Clamp the A-side high-speed terminal wafer 102 and the B-side high-speed terminal wafer 103 together;
