[0002] Taiwan, China Invention Patent Publication No. I565163B (Patent Document 1) discloses a Universal Serial Bus (USB) Type A socket connector. The connector disclosed in Patent Document 1 is fixed to a circuit board by soldering. In the case of using such a USB socket connector, the opening position of the corresponding USB connection hole on the electronic device housing determines the position of the circuit board, or rather, the position of the circuit board determines the opening position of the corresponding USB connection hole on the electronic device housing. Once the design developer wants to change the opening position or the circuit board position, different specifications of connectors must be used. Therefore, the connector manufacturer has to provide various specifications of connectors for different heights of the housing opening positions or different heights of the circuit board positions for the design developer to select according to the occasion.

[0076] The following will describe the contact connector (hereinafter sometimes simply referred to as "connector") of the embodiment of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings. In each of the accompanying drawings, the same elements or elements with the same functions are labeled with the same reference numerals. The accompanying drawings are not drawn to scale.
[0077] Hereinafter, the contact connector of the present invention is specifically implemented in the form of a Type-A socket connector of USB 3.2 Gen2. It should be understood that the contact connector of the present invention is downward compatible with the specifications of USB 3.1 / 3.0 / 2.0 / 1.1, and can also be specifically implemented in the form of a socket connector of USB 3.1 / 3.0 / 2.0 / 1.1. The contact connector of the present invention is not limited to the Type-A socket connector of USB3.2 Gen2, but can be applied to other types of connectors. Since the definition and specification of the pin positions of the USB3.2 Gen2 socket connector are not the focus of the present invention and can be obtained from other published documents, the description thereof is omitted.
[0078] Figure 1 is a perspective view of the contact connector according to the first embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 is another perspective view of the contact connector according to the first embodiment of the present invention, and Figure 3 is an exploded perspective view of the contact connector according to the first embodiment of the present invention. Referring to Figures 1 to 3 , the main constituent elements of the contact connector according to the first embodiment of the present invention are described. The entire contact connector is labeled with the element symbol 10. The contact connector 10 includes an insulating housing 11, a conductive outer shell 12, an insulating rear cover 13, a plurality of contacts 14, and a metal fitting 15.
[0079] The contact connector 10 is used to electrically connect a mating connector as a first connection object and a wiring board as a second connection object. The mating connector (not shown in the drawings) is assembled to the contact connector 10 in a first direction D1. In other words, the first direction is parallel to the assembly direction of the mating connector. The plurality of contacts 14 are arranged in a second direction D2 perpendicular to the first direction D1 and are held by the insulating housing 11. The insulating rear cover 13 has a plurality of positioning slots for limiting and separating the plurality of contacts 14 from each other.
[0080] Figure 4 is a partial cross-sectional side view of the contact connector according to the first embodiment of the present invention, and Figure 5 is a cross-sectional side view of the contact connector according to the first embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the conductive housing 12 is fixed to the insulating rear cover 13, and a part of the contact member 14 is exposed from the insulating rear cover 13 so as to contact the wiring board. Details of each component will be described below.
[0081] The insulating rear cover 13 has a contact protection portion 131 which is adjacent to the mounting surface of the contact type connector 10. When viewed from the second direction D2, the contact protection portion 131 shields at least a part of the contact member 14.
[0082] Figure 6 is a perspective view of the conductive housing 12. Reference will be made to Figure 6 to describe the structure of the conductive housing 12. The conductive housing 12 is made by stamping and bending a metal sheet. The conductive housing 12 defines a space for accommodating a mating connector.
[0083] Two upper contact arms 125 are formed on the upper surface of the conductive housing 12, and two lower contact arms 126 are formed on the lower surface of the conductive housing 12. One side contact arm 127 is formed on each of the two side surfaces of the conductive housing 12. When the mating connector is assembled to the contact type connector, these contact arms will contact the metal housing of the mating connector. Generally, these contact arms are provided for the purpose of grounding connection or increasing the holding force on the mating connector.
[0084] The conductive housing 12 is formed with a plurality of holding portions 121. Each holding portion 121 extends in the first direction from the trailing edge of the side surface of the conductive housing 12 and is inserted into a corresponding holding hole formed in the insulating rear cover 13 in an interference fit manner. A runway-shaped or oval-shaped protrusion 122 is formed at the base of each holding portion 121 to increase the interference of the conductive housing 12 with the insulating rear cover 13 and improve the resistance to pulling out the conductive housing 12 from the insulating rear cover 13.
[0085] In order to firmly clamp the insulating housing, a first stop portion 123 and two second stop portions 124 are respectively formed at the trailing edge of the upper surface and the trailing edge of the lower surface of the conductive housing 12. A part of the trailing edges of the upper and lower surfaces of the housing is torn and offset inward by stamping, thereby forming the inwardly recessed first stop portion 123 and second stop portions 124.
[0086] Figure 7 is a perspective view of the insulating housing 11. Reference will be made to Figure 7 to describe the structure of the insulating housing 11. The insulating housing 11 is made of a resin material or a polymer material by injection molding. Preferably, the insulating housing 11 and the contact member 14 are integrally formed by insert molding. In this way, the operation procedure of assembling the contact member can be saved.
[0087] The insulating housing 11 has a main body portion 110 and an extending portion (i.e., a tongue piece) 111. The extending portion 111 extends from the main body portion 110 in the first direction D1. The conductive outer shell 12 surrounds the extending portion 111 of the insulating housing 11. The insulating housing 11 is formed with a first recess 1101 at the upper edge of the main body portion 110 and two second recesses 1102 at the lower edge of the main body portion 110. The first stop portion 123 and the second stop portion 124 of the conductive outer shell 12 are respectively closely received in the first recess 1101 and the second recess 1102 correspondingly formed in the main body portion 110 of the insulating housing 11. By the first stop portion 123 and the second stop portion 124 abutting against the first recess 1101 and the second recess 1102, the clamping range of the insulating housing 11 can be enlarged, so that the insulating housing 11 is stably held relative to the conductive outer shell 12 or the insulating rear cover 13, and at the same time, the insulating housing 11 is prevented from shaking (oscillating) up and down or left and right.
[0088] Figure 8 is a side view of the contact member 14. Reference will be made to Figure 8 Describe the structure of the contact member 14. It should be understood that the contact members included in the contact-type connector according to the present invention are not limited to contact members of a single shape. For the convenience of describing the content of the present invention, only a contact member 14 of one shape will be described. It does not mean that the connector only has contact members of a single shape. As required, some of the contact members can be made in a different shape from another part of the contact members, but in principle, the parts of the contact members on the wiring board side are made in the same shape.
[0089] The contact member 14 is made of a conductive material (such as copper or copper alloy). The contact member 14 has a first contact portion 140 for contacting a mating connector, a first elastic arm 141, a holding portion 142 held by the insulating housing, and a second contact portion 145 for contacting the wiring board. The first contact portion 140 forms the first elastic arm 141 and is positioned at the extending portion 111 of the insulating housing 11. The first elastic arm 141 extends from the holding portion 142. The second contact portion 145 is opposite to the first contact portion 140 and protrudes from the main body portion 110 of the insulating housing 11.
[0090] The contact member 14 further includes a second elastic arm 143 extending from the main body portion 110 of the insulating housing 11, a bending portion 144, and an end portion 146 extending from the second contact portion 145. The second contact portion 145 is connected to the second elastic arm 143 through the bending portion 144. The second elastic arm 143 and the bending portion 144 of the contact member 14 can act as a spring portion to provide a resisting elastic force when the wiring board pushes the second contact portion 145 in the first direction D1.
[0091] The end portion 146 abuts against the inner surface of the insulating rear cover 13, such that the end portion 146 of the contact member 14 is positioned inside the insulating rear cover 13 and uniformly limited. As a result, a uniform exposure degree of the second contact portion 145 can be obtained. In addition, by the end portion 146 abutting against the inner surface of the insulating rear cover 13, the portion of the contact member on the wiring board side can be pre-pressed to increase the contact force when the second contact portion 145 contacts the wiring board.
[0092] The second elastic arm 143 extends substantially in the third direction D3 toward the mounting surface of the contact-type connector, but is not limited thereto. The second contact portion 145 is substantially linear and positioned parallel to the plane composed of the first direction D1 and the third direction D3, wherein the third direction D3 is perpendicular to the first direction D1 and the second direction D2. Although the second contact portion 145 can be parallel to the third direction D3, before the second contact portion 145 contacts the wiring board, it is preferable that the second contact portion 145 is inclined at an inclination angle θ with respect to the third direction D3 (i.e., the vertical direction). The inclination angle θ is preferably 3 degrees or less, more preferably 10 degrees or less, and particularly preferably 20 degrees or less. In this way, sufficient contact force can be ensured when the second contact portion 145 contacts the wiring board. Therefore, it is preferable that the second contact portion 145 is inclined with respect to the third direction D3.
[0093] The bent portion 144 of the contact member 14 and a part of the second contact portion 145 are shielded by the contact member protection portion 131. This part of the second contact portion 145 is adjacent to the bent portion 144. Since the bent portion 144 and its adjacent parts are more likely to yield and deform under an external force. In order to prevent the wiring board from colliding with the bent portion 144 and its adjacent parts when installing the contact-type connector or the wiring board, a contact member protection portion 131 adjacent to the mounting surface of the contact-type connector 10 is particularly formed on the insulating rear cover 13.
[0094] Figure 9 is a perspective view of the metal fitting of the contact-type connector according to the first embodiment of the present invention. Reference will be made to Figure 9 to describe the constitution of the metal fitting 15. The metal fitting 15 is fixed to the lower surface of the conductive housing 12 by welding, such as laser welding, but is not limited thereto. If necessary, the metal fitting can also be fixed to the upper surface of the conductive housing 12.
[0095] The metal fitting 15 has a main body portion 150 to be welded to the lower surface of the conductive housing 12 and a pair of flanges 151 parallel to the mounting surface of the contact-type connector. Each flange 151 is formed with a through hole 152 for the rod portion of a screw or bolt as a fastening means to pass through, so as to lock the metal fitting 15 to the pedestal. If necessary, positioning holes can be formed in the flanges 151 to accurately place the contact-type connector in a specified position before locking the metal fitting 15 to the pedestal.
[0096] Figure 10 It is a perspective view of the contact connector according to the second embodiment of the present invention. In the second embodiment, for the parts common to the first embodiment, the same reference numerals as those in the first embodiment are given and their descriptions are omitted. The main difference from the first embodiment is that the contact connector of the second embodiment further includes an insulating member 11A.
[0097] Figure 11 It is another perspective view of the contact connector according to the second embodiment of the present invention. For clearly showing the internal details, the conductive housing, metal fittings and insulating rear cover are not shown. Figure 12 It is a sectional side view of the contact connector according to the second embodiment of the present invention.
[0098] Compared with the first embodiment, the contact connector 10 of the second embodiment further includes an insulating member 11A. The insulating member 11A is generally a long member extending along the second direction D2. The insulating member 11A is formed integrally with the insulating housing 11 by insert injection molding, so that the insulating member 11A is integrally formed with the end portion of the contact member 14 by insert injection molding. Therefore, the insulating member 11A is formed of the same material as the insulating housing 11. By using the insulating member 11A, the end portion of the contact member 14 is forcibly confined within the insulating rear cover 13 and positioned uniformly, so that the second contact portion of the contact member 14 can be neatly and uniformly positioned.
[0099] Figure 13 It is a schematic diagram of the outline of the contact connector according to the present invention during actual use. The contact connector is installed inside an electric machine. In the drawing, the housing of the electric machine is partially shown, and the housing of the electric machine is labeled with the reference numeral 30. The wiring board as the second connection object is labeled with the reference numeral 20.
[0100] The housing 30 is formed with an opening 31, and the contact connector 10 is arranged such that the conductive housing 12 is embedded in the opening 31, so that the connection holes of the contact connector 10 are exposed outside the housing 30. The wiring board 20 is formed with a plurality of electrodes 21 at the edge portion, and these electrodes 21 are in conductive contact with the contact members 14 of the contact connector 10.
[0101] Since the contact members 14 of the contact connector 10 are not fixed to the wiring board by welding as in the conventional case, the position height of the wiring board is allowed to vary within a certain range. Therefore, there is no need to strictly require the relative positions of the opening in the housing and the wiring board.
[0102] Although the present invention is described and illustrated with reference to preferred embodiments, it should be understood that within the inventive concept and scope of the present invention, many variations and modifications can still be made by those with ordinary technical knowledge in the technical field to which the present invention pertains. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiments, but is based on the literal description in the claims. That is, equivalent variations and modifications made without departing from the claims of the present invention should still fall within the scope covered by the present invention.
