Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of electrical connector structures, and in particular to an electrical connector structure in which the second and fourth signal connection groups provided on the front side of the connector connection area of a control substrate are electrically connected to the first and third signal connection groups provided on the front and back sides of the signal line connection area. Background Technology
[0002] In recent years, the Type-C standard electrical connector has been developed. This type of electrical connector has no insertion direction restriction, so users no longer need to distinguish between the front and back of the USB. That is, the Type-C electrical connector can be inserted in either direction and provides relatively high transmission efficiency. It also has many advantages such as small size, so it is widely used in electronic devices.
[0003] A Type-C electrical connector mainly includes multiple signal terminals in upper and lower rows and a control circuit board. The control circuit board has an electrical connector soldering end at one end that connects to the electrical connector, and a signal line soldering end at the other end that connects to the signal transmission line. Multiple electrical connector soldering points are provided on the front and back of the electrical connector soldering end, and multiple signal line soldering points are provided on the front and back of the signal line soldering end. The multiple electrical connector soldering points on the front of the control circuit board are connected to the multiple signal line soldering points, and the multiple electrical connector soldering points on the back of the control circuit board are connected to the multiple signal line soldering points, so that the multiple electrical connector soldering points on the front and back of the control circuit board are located on the top and bottom surfaces, respectively.
[0004] When soldering Type-C electrical connectors to the control circuit board, the first step is to align the upper row of multiple signal terminals with the corresponding soldering points of the electrical connectors on the front of the control circuit board before soldering. Then, in the second step, the lower row of multiple signal terminals must be aligned with the corresponding soldering points of the electrical connectors on the back of the control circuit board before soldering. This process is cumbersome and reduces production efficiency.
[0005] Therefore, the problem that this invention aims to solve is to provide a way to align multiple signal terminals of a Type-C electrical connector on the same surface of the control circuit board before soldering them, thereby simplifying the manufacturing process. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The main objective of this invention is to provide an electrical connector structure.
[0007] This invention provides an electrical connector structure, including a connector header and a control board:
[0008] The connector includes a first connection terminal group and a second connection terminal group. The first connection terminal group includes multiple first connection terminals, one end of which is provided with a first signal connection terminal and the other end of which is provided with a first soldering terminal. The second connection terminal group includes multiple second connection terminals, one end of which is provided with a second signal connection terminal and the other end of which is provided with a second soldering terminal.
[0009] The control substrate is electrically connected to the connector. One end of the control substrate has a connector connection area, and the other end has a signal line connection area. One surface of the control substrate has a first soldering surface, and the other surface has a second soldering surface. The control substrate has first and third signal connection groups in the signal line connection areas of the first and second soldering surfaces. The control substrate has second and fourth signal contact groups in the connector connection area of the first soldering surface. The second signal contact group on the first soldering surface of the control substrate is used to electrically connect to multiple first soldering ends of the first connection terminal group, and the fourth signal contact group on the first soldering surface of the control substrate is used to electrically connect to multiple second soldering ends of the second connection terminal group. The first signal connection group has contacts 1 to 11, wherein contacts 1 and 11 are ground ports, contacts 2, 3, 9, and 10 are signal ports, contacts 4 and 8 are power ports, and contacts 1 to 11 are ground ports. Contacts 5, 6, and 7 are USB 2.0 signal ports; the third signal connection group has contacts 1 to 11, wherein contacts 1 and 11 are ground ports, contacts 2, 3, 5, 9, and 10 are signal ports, contacts 4 and 8 are power ports, contact 6 is a chip signal connection port, and contact 7 is a jumper signal port; the second signal connection group has contacts 1 to 12, wherein contacts 1 and 12 are ground ports, contacts 2, 3, 10, and 11 are signal ports, contacts 4 and 9 are power ports, contacts 5, 6, and 7 are USB 2.0 signal ports, and contact 8 is a jumper signal port; the fourth signal connection group has contacts 1 to 12, wherein contacts 1 and 12 are ground ports, contacts 2, 3, 5, 10, and 11 are signal ports, contacts 4 and 9 are power ports, and contact 8 is a chip signal connection port.
[0010] Therefore, by controlling the connector connection area of the first welding surface of the substrate to be provided with the second and fourth signal connection groups respectively, the second and fourth signal connection groups are electrically connected to the first and third signal connection groups by means of wiring, so that the first and second welding ends of the first and second connection terminal groups in the upper and lower rows of the connector connector only need to be electrically connected to the second and fourth signal connection groups in the connector connection area of the first welding surface respectively, that is, the first and second connection terminal groups in the upper and lower rows of the connector connector are electrically connected to the first and third signal connection groups in the signal line connection area of the first and second welding surfaces.
[0011] In this way, the multiple first and second connecting terminals of the connector joint only need to be aligned on the same first soldering surface of the control board before soldering, thus simplifying the manufacturing process. Attached Figure Description
