Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of connectors, in particular to a rectangular socket connector. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the prior art, connectors are mainly applied in the fields of aerospace, weapon equipment, electronic radar, etc., and signals are transmitted through the insertion of plugs and sockets, so as to realize the mixed transmission of high-speed signals, optical signals, power signals and radio frequency signals.

[0003] At present, the socket connector in the prior art generally uses a contact piece with a diameter of Φ0.4 mm to transmit high-speed signals, and the main problem of this socket connector is that:

[0004] 1. The traditional contact piece has two-point contact, and the contact points are few and the form is simple, the normal pressure is low, and the current-carrying capacity is weak.

[0005] In the contact piece disclosed in the invention with the application publication number CN109841983A, a split slot jack is arranged in the jack contact piece, which is in contact with the pin contact to form a passage.

[0006] In this structure, only double-point contact is realized between the jack contact piece and the pin contact piece at the contact layer, so the current-carrying capacity is low. With the improvement of the product current-carrying capacity requirement of the modern society and the limitation of the miniaturization of the connector, it is required that the connector has higher current-carrying capacity while meeting the miniaturization requirement.

[0007] 2. The contact piece of some connectors adopts a crown spring type two-body structure.

[0008] In the contact piece disclosed in the invention with the application publication number CN102801018A, the crown spring and the machined solid jack are two parts, the crown spring type contact ring is arranged in the tubular jack, and the jack is then closed to ensure that the crown spring cannot come out.

[0009] In this contact connection type structure, the crown spring is not strongly fixed in the jack, and the left and right shaking of the crown spring in the jack can easily lead to poor contact. In addition, when the pin contacts the crown spring, the crown spring will be axially elongated under stress, and if there is not enough space reserved in the jack, the crown spring will be axially stuck, thereby losing its function. Finally, the contact resistance between the crown spring and the jack is too large, so that the temperature rise of the jack contact piece when passing current is high, which can easily lead to oxidation in the contact area, thereby affecting the conductivity. In addition, the two-body structure needs to increase the assembly process, which reduces the reliability and production efficiency of the parts, and increases the cost.

[0010] 3. The socket contact piece has many parts, and the assembly cost is high.

[0011] The contact is usually assembled by multiple parts, the manufacturing process of the parts is complex, the assembly time is high, and the cost is high. The socket contact is complex in preparation, and the connector needs to be assembled one by one in sequence, which is time-consuming and high in cost.

[0012] 4. The connector is large in size, and the contact is long in cantilever after assembly, and poor in stability.

[0013] In the specific structure of the socket connector, multiple jack contacts need to be arranged and assembled on the insulator, and multiple jack contacts need to maintain a certain creepage distance between each other, which results in that the overall size of the socket connector is usually large. Meanwhile, in the prior art, the assembly and fixation of the jack contact on the insulator is usually that only the head of the jack contact is fixed in the preset mounting hole of the insulator, and the middle and tail of the jack contact are suspended outside the insulator, which results in that after the socket connector is combined with the external plug, the stability of the entire socket contact is poor due to the long cantilever of the jack contact and the stress problem, which affects the service life and use effect.

[0014] Therefore, how to improve the structure of the existing socket connector to make it develop towards integration, high speed, small size and high stability is of great significance for reducing cost and improving quality. SUMMARY

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0052] The technical solutions of the present application will be further described and explained in detail in combination with the drawings and specific embodiments.

[0053] In the description of the present application, it should be understood that the directions or position relations indicated by the terms "up", "down" and the like are based on the directions or position relations shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the devices or elements referred to must have a particular orientation, be constructed and operated in a particular orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the scope of protection of the present application.

[0054] ​​It is to be understood that the terms "first" and "second" and similar

[0055] The application provides a rectangular socket connector capable of transmitting 40Gbps high-speed signals, and relates to a socket contact and belongs to the technical field of high-speed rectangular connectors.

[0056] As shown in the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 The socket connector has the advantages of small volume, light weight, high transmission rate and multiple transmission signal types, and can integrate specific signal types required by users according to specific requirements of the users. Figure 1 The transmission module of high-speed signals.

[0057] The specific structure of the socket connector mainly comprises a signal transmission module, a fixing and supporting structure and a guiding structure, the signal transmission module mainly comprises an insulator 4 and a socket contact, and the transmission of signals is realized by the plug-in of an external plug and the socket connector. The fixing and supporting structure comprises a shell 5, and the fixing and supporting structure plays a role of protection, fixation and support for the signal transmission module; the bottom of the socket contact is a fish-eye structure and can be crimped on a printed board to realize the signal transmission between vertical boards, the socket contact is fixedly installed on the insulator 4; the guiding structure mainly comprises a fixing ring 10, a recognition guide pin 9 and a crown band 6, the recognition guide pin 9 and the recognition guide pin at the end of the external plug guide each other, the crown band 6 and the guide pin at the end of the plug guide each other, and the plug-in of the external plug and the socket contact can be effectively guided to the right position through the guiding structure.

[0058] The socket contact adopted by the application is a new socket contact with simple structure, and the assembly position of the socket contact and the insulator is a rectangular structure, and therefore the application provides a new socket contact arrangement mode. The differential pair contact is arranged along the width direction (the width direction of the insulator 4), and the ground contact of the ground signal is arranged at 90 degrees with the differential pair contact (the length direction of the insulator 4). Figure 2As shown, the three pairs of differential contacts in the first column are arranged vertically, with a grounding contact for a ground signal placed between each pair of differential contacts. In other words, the socket contacts are arranged horizontally and vertically. This ensures both a high signal transmission rate and signal transmission stability, while also meeting the requirement of a small connector size.

[0059] The reason for the 90-degree vertical staggered arrangement is that if the socket contacts are arranged in a 45-degree slant manner, it will result in a thin-walled structure of the insulator, which will reduce the strength of the product and affect its service life. In addition, it will also affect the performance of the product, as the creepage distance between the socket contacts will be reduced, which will affect the voltage withstand performance of the product.

[0060] An over-insertion protection key 13 is provided on the lower surface of the insulator to prevent damage to the mounting hole when the socket contact is over-inserted. The protection key 13 has a raised square structure.

[0061] like Figure 3 As shown, the socket contact of this invention has a simple structure, mainly divided into two parts: a mounting part and a mating area. The mounting part of the socket contact mates with an insulator. Figure 3 The left side of the mounting section features a fisheye structure, primarily used for crimping the printed circuit board. The mating area engages with the pins, utilizing the elasticity of a spring to achieve tight contact, thus ensuring stable signal transmission and effectively guaranteeing connector reliability. Furthermore, a stainless steel tube (rigid sheath) protects the mating area. This socket contact has a simple structure; the main body is integrally molded (mold processing), with subsequent processing primarily involving rolling and electroplating.

[0062] In the socket connector, the insulator 4 is mainly used to fix and support the socket contact. The mounting hole 7 on the insulator is structurally designed as a stepped hole structure, narrower at the top and wider at the bottom. The smaller diameter round hole at the top mates with the rigid sheath covering the socket contact to straighten the socket contact and prevent damage, wobbling, and instability caused by excessive cantilever. The larger diameter square hole at the bottom is fixed to the mounting part of the socket contact. If only the lower square hole is used for fixing the socket contact, the mating area of ​​the socket contact and the insulator will have a clearance fit. The socket contact will only be fixed by the lower mounting part, resulting in a long cantilever and significant wobbling and displacement of the socket contact, making it easy to damage the socket contact during mating. Therefore, the mounting hole on the insulator is a stepped hole. The smaller diameter upper round hole mates with the rigid sheath of the socket contact to straighten the cantilever of the socket contact. This two-point support method effectively improves the straightness and coaxiality of the socket contact after assembly.

[0063] As shown in Figure 6 The fixing mode of the jack contact on the insulator is strong assembly, the fixing effect is achieved by the way that the jack contact pierces into the insulator, and the hard sheath and the upper part of the mounting hole are also in strong assembly, which plays the role of fixing the jack contact on the insulator through the two strong assemblies. This mounting mode can effectively enhance the firmness of the jack contact, so that the jack contact is not easy to shake after assembly and has good stability.

[0064] As shown in Figure 7 The material of the insulator is LCP, and the processing mode is mold forming. The insulator has a large length-diameter ratio, and the parts are prone to warping and poor flowability during forming. To solve this problem, process holes 11 are added to the surface of the insulator, and process grooves 13 are added to the side, so that the wall thickness of the insulator is uniform, the warping degree of the parts is effectively reduced, and the flow speed of the material in the mold is improved.

[0065] The main innovation of the socket connector of the present application is:

[0066] Innovation 1: The arrangement mode of the jack contact adopts a 90-degree staggered arrangement mode.

[0067] Innovation 2: The insulator mounting hole adopts a stepped hole, and the fixing mode of the jack contact adopts a two-point strong assembly mode.

[0068] Innovation 3: The specific setting mode of the jack contact makes it have good stability.
