[0040] A longitudinal slot 11 is formed in the middle of the top surface of the insulating body 1 by concave down along the longitudinal direction, the slot 11 is used for inserting an electronic module, both sides of the slot 11 have longitudinal side walls 12 arranged along the length direction of the slot 11, and both ends of the slot 11 have end walls 13 closing the slot 11. The longitudinal side walls 12 on both sides of the slot 11 are provided with a plurality of terminal grooves 14, each terminal groove 14 penetrates the bottom surface of the insulating body 1, each terminal groove 14 also penetrates the slot-facing surface of the longitudinal side wall 12, and each terminal groove 14 also penetrates the top surface of the longitudinal side wall 12. The side wall of each terminal groove 14 close to the slot 11 is a pre-pressing wall 15, and the terminal groove 14 penetrating the slot-facing surface of the longitudinal side wall 12 is located below the pre-pressing wall 15. A fool-proof part 16 connecting the two longitudinal side walls 12 is arranged in the slot 11, the fool-proof part 16 separates the slot 11 into a slot one and a slot two shorter than the slot one, and the fool-proof part 16 is used to prevent the electronic module from being inserted reversely. The fool-proof part 16 is used to separate the insulating body 1 into a power and low-speed signal area a and a high-speed signal area b on both sides of the fool-proof part 16.
[0041] The outer side surface of the longitudinal side wall 12 is provided with a longitudinal recessed groove 19, and the wave-absorbing material 5 is located in the recessed groove 19. The recessed groove 19 is located in the high-speed signal area b, the groove wall at one end of the length direction of the recessed groove 19 is flush with the inner side surface of the end wall 13 away from the fool-proof part 16 at one end of the slot 11, and the groove wall at the other end of the length direction of the recessed groove 19 does not exceed the side surface of the fool-proof part 16 facing the power and low-speed signal area a.
[0042] The plurality of terminals 2 comprises differential signal terminals S distributed in the high-speed signal area b and the remaining terminals distributed in the high-speed signal area b and the power and low-speed signal area a. Each two differential signal terminals S are adjacent, and each two adjacent differential signal terminals S are embedded and molded with an insulating block 3 inserted into the insulating body 1. This way of embedding and molding two differential signal terminals S in one insulating block 3 does not need to design a clamping point on the fixed part 21 of the differential signal terminal S, and the opposite sides of the two differential signal terminals S can also be designed closer, so that the two differential signal terminals S can be well coupled, and the signal transmission is more stable. The remaining terminals are all independent terminals inserted into the corresponding terminal grooves 14 of the insulating body 1.
[0043] Each of the insulation blocks 3 and two adjacent differential signal terminals S embeddedly molded with the insulation block 3 are located in the same terminal slot 14, and the insulation block 3 is inserted into the terminal slot 14. The terminal slot 14 accommodating two differential signal terminals S has a large width along the direction of the insertion slot 11, which is a wide slot 141, and the terminal slot 14 accommodating each of the remaining terminals has a small width along the direction of the insertion slot 11, which is a narrow slot 142. The width of the terminal slot 14 (wide slot 141) accommodating two differential signal terminals S along the direction of the insertion slot 11 is greater than the sum of the widths of the terminal slots 14 (narrow slots 142) accommodating any two remaining terminals along the direction of the insertion slot 11. The terminal slot 14 accommodating two differential signal terminals S is separated from the adjacent terminal slot 14 accommodating the remaining terminals by a partition wall 17 extending from the top surface of the insulation body 1 to the bottom surface of the insulation body 1. The terminal slot 14 accommodating two differential signal terminals S has no partition wall 17, but the insulation body 1 is provided with a partition portion 18 at the upper portion of the terminal slot 14 accommodating the two differential signal terminals S. The partition portion 18 extends upward to the top surface of the insulation body 1 and downward above the contact portions 24 of the differential signal terminals S. The partition portion 18 separates the portions above the contact portions 24 of the two differential signal terminals S. The partition portion 18 is provided at a small position above the contact portions 24 to prevent the heads of the two differential signal terminals S from being close to each other and causing short circuit. The portions of the two differential signal terminals S below the partition portion 18 and above the soldering portions of the differential signal terminals S can be designed to be closer to each other for better coupling, thereby effectively improving the transmission efficiency of the connector.
[0044] The remaining terminals include power supply terminals, ground terminals G, and low-speed signal terminals. The power supply terminals and the low-speed signal terminals are provided in the power supply and low-speed signal area a (the positions of the two longitudinal side walls 12 corresponding to the second insertion slots). The high-speed signal area b (the positions of the two longitudinal side walls 12 corresponding to the first insertion slots) is provided with the ground terminals G and other low-speed signal terminals. One or two ground terminals G are provided on one side or both sides of each of the two differential signal terminals S. The two ground terminals G are connected at the fixing portions 21, and thus the resonance between the two pairs of differential signal terminals on both sides of the two ground terminals G is reduced, and the reliability of the high-speed signal transmission of the electrical connector is improved.
[0045] Each of the terminals 2 comprises a fixed portion 21, an elastic arm 22 extending upwardly from the fixed portion 21, and a soldering portion 23 extending downwardly from the fixed portion 21 out of the bottom of the insulating body 1. The elastic arm 22 has a contact portion 24 protruding into the slot 11. Each of the two differential signal terminals S has a portion below the contact portion 24 and above the soldering portion 23, and the two differential signal terminals S are closer to each other at the portion below the contact portion 24 and above the soldering portion 23, so that the gap d1 between the two differential signal terminals S at the portion below the contact portion 24 and above the soldering portion 23 is smaller than the gap d2 between each of the differential signal terminals S and the adjacent remaining terminals (the remaining terminals adjacent to the differential signal terminals S are the ground terminals G). The smaller gap between the two differential signal terminals S at the portion below the contact portion 24 and above the soldering portion 23 allows better coupling between the two differential signal terminals S, so as to reduce signal resonance when the two differential signal terminals S transmit signals, and ensure effective transmission of the signals.
[0046] The upper end of the elastic arm 22 of each of the differential signal terminals S is lower than the upper end of the elastic arm 22 of the remaining terminals (i.e., the head of each of the differential signal terminals S is shorter than the head of the remaining terminals), and the upper end of the elastic arm 22 of each of the differential signal terminals S is below the pre-pressing wall 15 and does not contact the pre-pressing wall 15. The upper end of the elastic arm 22 of the remaining terminals extends upwardly to form a pre-pressing portion 25, which contacts the pre-pressing wall 15 before the electronic module is inserted into the slot 11 and leaves the pre-pressing wall 15 after the electronic module is inserted into the slot 11. By designing the head of each of the differential signal terminals S to be shorter than the head of the remaining terminals, the Stub (short stub line or residual stub line) can be reduced, so as to prevent signal crosstalk and interference and ensure signal integrity.
[0047] The fixed portion 21 of each of the remaining terminals (each of the power terminals, the ground terminals G, and the low-speed signal terminals) is provided with a clamping point 211 clamped to the slot wall of the terminal slot 14. The remaining terminals not only have the pre-pressing portion 25 hanging on the pre-pressing wall 15, but also have the clamping point 211 fixed to the insulating body 1, so as to ensure that the size of the contact portion 24 is more stable.
[0048] The insulating block 3 is inserted into the terminal slot 14 of the insulating body 1 and then fixed to the insulating body 1 by laser welding, so that the clamping point 211 of each of the differential signal terminals S does not interfere with the insulating body 1, the quality of signal transmission is improved, the precision of the laser welding seam is high (micron-level positioning precision can be achieved by laser beam welding), the connection strength is high (the strength of the welding seam can reach the level of the base material), the processing efficiency is high (compared with traditional welding, the speed of laser welding is several times higher, and automatic production is supported), and the laser welding is a non-contact heating method, the range of the heat-affected zone is controllable, and the risk of material deformation is effectively reduced.
[0049] The metal shell 4 covers the power supply and low-speed signal area a and the high-speed signal area b, and is used for shielding the interference of external signals. The top surface of the metal shell 4 is provided with an opening 41 corresponding to the slot 11, and the opening 41 is provided with a connecting portion 42 at the corresponding anti-falling portion 16. The bottom of the metal shell 4 is provided with a soldering leg 43.
[0050] The wave-absorbing material 5 is a rectangular plate body, which is used for improving resonance in a high-frequency state, greatly reducing the loss of signal transmission, greatly improving the signal integrity performance of the electrical connector, and meeting the demand for higher transmission rate.
[0051] The ground shielding sheet 7 is connected with each ground terminal G, and is used for shielding the interference of internal signals of the electrical connector. The ground shielding sheet 7 is covered in the insulating cover 8, and the ground shielding sheet 7 and the insulating cover 8 are embedded and formed. The insulating cover 8 and the ground shielding sheet 7 are both longitudinally long structures, and the insulating cover 8 is fixed to the bottom of the insulating body 1. The insulating cover 8 is provided with a tab 81 extending into the space between every two differential signal terminals S at the position of the two differential signal terminals S. The tab 81 is used as a plastic medium between the two differential signal terminals S to improve the capacitance and reduce the characteristic impedance at this position. The two sides of the insulating cover 8 in the width direction are provided with slots 82 spaced apart in the length direction. Each slot 82 is provided with a ground terminal G at the position. The adjacent slots 82 are provided with a protrusion 83. The outer side of part of the protrusion 83 protrudes to form the tab 81. The two sides of the ground shielding sheet 7 in the width direction are provided with contact arms 71 contacting the corresponding ground terminals G at the positions of the slots 82.
[0052] In other embodiments, the part above the contact portion 24 of the two differential signal terminals S can also be provided with no separation portion 18, and the terminal slot accommodating the two differential signal terminals S penetrates through from the bottom surface of the insulating body to the top surface of the insulating body.
[0053] In other embodiments, the separation portion 18 can be arranged at the position corresponding to the contact portion 24 of the differential signal terminal S, or can be arranged at any position above the fixed portion 21 and below the contact portion 24 of the differential signal terminal S, as long as a small part of the elastic arm 22 of the two differential signal terminals S can be separated. Other positions of the elastic arm 22 of the two differential signal terminals S which are not separated can be designed to be closer to each other to be well coupled, so that the two differential signal terminals can reduce signal resonance when transmitting signals, ensure effective transmission of signals, and further make the signal transmission more stable.
[0054] In other embodiments, the partition 18 extends downward from the top surface of the insulating body 1 to above the insulating block 3, separating the entire elastic arms 22 of the two differential signal terminals S, but the width of the partition 18 along the length direction of the slot 11 is thinner than the width of the partition wall 17 along the length direction of the slot 11, so that the two differential signal terminals S can be designed closer to each other on the opposite sides.
[0055] In other embodiments, the concave groove can also be provided on the top surface of the longitudinal side wall 12, and the wave-absorbing material 5 can also be provided at the concave groove on the top surface.
