The upper terminal group B is provided with a plurality of upper ground terminals B1, and the lower terminal group C is provided with a plurality of lower ground terminals C1. The connector A is internally provided with a ground sheet D, a plurality of upper ground pins D1 are provided on the ground sheet D and connected to the plurality of upper ground terminals B1 of the upper terminal group B, and a plurality of lower ground pins D2 are provided on the ground sheet D and connected to the plurality of lower ground terminals C1 of the lower terminal group C, so that the plurality of upper ground terminals B1 and the plurality of lower ground terminals C1 of the connector A are connected to each other through the ground sheet D. Figure 1 Figure 2 However, the conventional connector A is provided with the ground sheet D to form a complete conductive loop for the upper ground terminals B1 and the lower ground terminals C1 of the upper terminal group B and the lower terminal group C, which results in an increase in the overall impedance path of the connector A.

[0007] ​The base has a first terminal group and a second terminal group extending from its front end, with the first terminal group and the second terminal group being spaced apart from each other to form a first gap space. The first terminal group has at least two first grounding terminals, and the second terminal group has at least two second grounding terminals. The first grounding connecting piece is disposed inside the base and adjacent to the first terminal group, and the first grounding connecting piece extends with at least two first connecting terminals. The multiple first connecting terminals are used to contact the multiple first grounding terminals of the first terminal group or to make indirect contact with them through other conductors, so that the multiple first grounding terminals of the first terminal group are interconnected. The second grounding connecting piece is disposed inside the base and adjacent to the second terminal group, and the second grounding connecting piece extends with at least two second connecting terminals.

The first terminal group is in contact with the first grounding connector to form an independent electrical conducting circuit, and the second terminal group is in contact with the second grounding connector to form another independent electrical conducting circuit. The second gap can also be filled with an insulating material to make it electrically non-conductive.

[0009] Therefore, the technical feature of the present invention is that: the connector utilizes a second gap space between the first grounding connecting piece and the second grounding connecting piece to prevent them from being electrically connected, so that the first terminal group and the first grounding connecting piece form an independent electrical conducting circuit, and the second terminal group and the second grounding connecting piece form another independent electrical conducting circuit, thereby reducing the impedance path of the overall connector, and when applied to high-frequency signal transmission, it can effectively reduce signal attenuation and improve crosstalk interference.

Detailed Implementation

[0017] To provide a more complete and clear explanation of the technical content, objectives, and effects achieved by this invention, a detailed description is provided below, along with reference to the accompanying drawings and figures:

[0018] Please refer to the following: Figures 3-5 As shown, the present invention provides a connector structure for improving crosstalk interference. The connector 1 includes a base 11, a first grounding connection piece 4 and a second grounding connection piece 5.

[0019] The base 11 has a first tongue plate 12 and a second tongue plate 13 extending from its front end, which are corresponding to each other. The inward surface of the first tongue plate 12 is provided with a first terminal group 2, and the inward surface of the second tongue plate 13 is provided with a second terminal group 3, so that the first terminal group 2 and the second terminal group 3 are mutually spaced and corresponding, forming a first gap space 14 between the first terminal group 2 and the second terminal group 3. The first terminal group 2 is provided with at least two or more first grounding terminals 21, for example, the first terminal group 2 of the present invention is provided with four first grounding terminals 21. The second terminal group 3 is provided with at least two or more second grounding terminals 31, for example, the second terminal group 3 of the present invention is provided with four second grounding terminals 31.

[0020] The first grounding connection piece 4 is disposed inside the base 11 and adjacent to the first terminal group 2. The first grounding connection piece 4 extends with at least two or more first connection terminals 41. The multiple first connection terminals 41 are used to contact the multiple first grounding terminals 21 provided in the first terminal group 2 or to make them indirectly contacted by other conductors, so that the multiple first grounding terminals 21 provided in the first terminal group 2 are interconnected. For example, the first grounding connection piece 4 extends towards the rear end of the base 11 with four first connection terminals 41, and the four first connection terminals 41 are respectively contacted and connected to the four first grounding terminals 21.

[0021] The second grounding connection piece 5 is disposed inside the base 11 and adjacent to the second terminal group 3. The second grounding connection piece 5 extends with at least two or more second connection terminals 51. The multiple second connection terminals 51 are used to contact the multiple second grounding terminals 31 provided in the second terminal group 3 or to make them indirectly contacted by other conductors, so that the multiple second grounding terminals 31 provided in the second terminal group 3 are interconnected. For example, the second grounding connection piece 5 extends towards the rear end of the base 11 with four second connection terminals 51, and the four second connection terminals 51 are respectively contacted and connected to the four second grounding terminals 31.

[0022] A second gap 15 is provided between the first grounding connecting piece 4 and the second grounding connecting piece 5 to prevent them from being electrically connected. Alternatively, the second gap 15 can be filled with, for example, an insulating material to prevent electrical conductivity. This is not a limitation; the main purpose is to allow the first terminal group 2 to contact the first grounding connecting piece 4 to form an independent electrical conducting circuit, and to allow the second terminal group 3 to contact the second grounding connecting piece 5 to form another independent electrical conducting circuit. The first grounding connecting piece 4 and the second grounding connecting piece 5 are arranged in a parallel and spaced manner inside the base 11.

[0023] In summary, the technical features of this invention are as follows: the connector 1 utilizes a second gap space 15 between the first grounding connecting piece 4 and the second grounding connecting piece 5 to prevent them from conducting to each other, thereby allowing the first terminal group 2 and the first grounding connecting piece 4 to form an independent electrical conducting circuit, and allowing the second terminal group 3 and the second grounding connecting piece 5 to form another independent electrical conducting circuit. By separating the electrical conducting circuits of the first terminal group 2 and the second terminal group 3, the impedance path of the overall connector 1 is reduced, so that when the connector 1 is used for high-frequency signal transmission, it can effectively reduce signal attenuation and improve crosstalk interference.

[0024] Please see Figure 6 , Figure 6 The figure shows a schematic diagram of the S-parameter signal test of the connector structure of the present invention and a conventional connector. The horizontal axis represents frequency, and the vertical axis represents dB value. The test compares the S-parameter values ​​of the present invention (represented by the curve NEXT_After in the figure) with those of the prior art (represented by the curve NEXT_Before in the figure). Figure 6As shown, under S-parameter testing, the connector 1 of the present invention exhibits an attenuation value of less than -40dB for high-frequency signals between 35GHz and 45GHz. In contrast, existing connectors exhibit attenuation values ​​exceeding -40dB, and even approaching -50dB, for the same high-frequency signals between 35GHz and 45GHz. This demonstrates that the present invention achieves a lower signal attenuation than existing connectors in the high-frequency range, i.e., beyond 35GHz. The test data proves that the connector 1 of the present invention can indeed achieve a lower signal attenuation than existing technologies in the high-frequency range, demonstrating excellent technical performance. Furthermore, given the current era of high-speed connectors, the design of the present invention meets the requirements of PAM4 and PCIe 5.0.
