Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of connectors, and in particular relates to a floating high-speed connector. Background Art

[0002] At present, high-speed chassis usually install multiple modules, and the module daughter board and the chassis backplane are connected through a high-speed connector. Due to the installation tolerance between the modules, after the module daughter board and the chassis backplane are plugged in through the high-speed connector, the contact between the contacts is prone to deviation, resulting in unreliable signal transmission. In order to achieve reliable signal transmission, it is necessary to put forward floating requirements for high-speed connectors. Contacts are the core parts of high-speed connectors, and traditional contact structures have no floating function. In actual use, for high-speed connectors with non-floating contact parts installed, if the floating function of the high-speed connector is to be realized, a floating sleeve is usually installed on the high-speed connector, and a rigid-flexible board transfer structure is used to achieve the transfer between the high-speed connectors of the module daughter board and the chassis backplane, but this solution has the following problems:

[0003] 1. The rigid-flex board transfer structure can allow tolerance between high-speed connectors, but it affects the signal transmission rate and cannot carry large currents;

[0004] 2. The floating sleeve structure requires installation space, and has problems such as occupying a large space, being heavy, and being unable to be applied to a relatively narrow installation environment. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model provides a floating high-speed connector to solve the problem that the installation tolerance between multiple modules in a high-speed chassis affects the connector signal transmission, thereby increasing the reliability of the connector high-speed signal transmission.

[0006] The purpose of the utility model is to be achieved by adopting the following technical solutions. A floating high-speed connector proposed by the utility model includes a connector and an adapter connector, wherein the connector is provided with a gold finger printed circuit board, and the plug-in end of the gold finger printed circuit board is provided with a gold finger contact piece, and during the plug-in process between the connector and the adapter connector, the gold finger contact piece and the plug-in end of the contact piece of the adapter connector can float relatively in the width direction of the gold finger contact piece and always keep in contact.

[0007] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present invention are as follows: the width of the gold finger contact is increased, so that it has a floating contact conduction function along the width direction. When there is an installation tolerance between multiple modules in the high-speed connector, there will be a position deviation in the width direction between the gold finger contact and the contact of the adapter connector, which may cause the header contact to have poor contact after the head seat is positioned, resulting in unstable high-speed signal transmission. The present solution increases the width of the gold finger contact and designs it redundantly to ensure that the header contact can maintain stable and reliable contact when there is floating in the width direction, thereby enhancing the reliability of the connector's high-speed signal transmission. Moreover, when the high-speed connector is in a vibrating environment, the gold finger contact of the connector and the contact of the adapter connector can still maintain contact when there is relative displacement in the width direction, thereby ensuring the stability of signal transmission.

[0008] Furthermore, the gold finger contact pieces at the plug-in end of the gold finger printed circuit board include single-ended gold fingers and spaced-apart grounding gold fingers and differential gold finger pairs.

[0009] Gold finger printed circuit boards can be used to transmit single-ended signals, ground signals, and differential signals.

[0010] Furthermore, a plurality of transfer gold fingers connected to the corresponding gold fingers of the plug end are distributed on the gold finger printed circuit board.

[0011] The gold finger printed circuit board is integrated with the plug-in gold finger and the transfer gold finger, which has high integration and is easy to achieve miniaturization and high density.

[0012] Furthermore, a transfer socket for connecting to a printed circuit board is provided on the transfer gold finger, and the transfer socket is a sheet-type contact structure.

[0013] The chip contact structure is easy to process and can be flexibly connected to the transfer gold finger to achieve reliable connection.

[0014] Furthermore, one end of the adapter jack is provided with a tuning fork structure for clamping on the adapter gold finger, and the other end is provided with a fisheye structure for terminating with a printed circuit board.

[0015] The adapter jack can easily realize the connection with the gold finger and the printed circuit board at the same time.

[0016] Furthermore, the contact piece of the adapter connector is an elastic socket, and the elastic socket is a sheet-type contact structure.

[0017] The chip contact structure is easy to process and can be flexibly connected to the gold finger to achieve reliable connection.

[0018] Furthermore, the plug-in end of the elastic socket is a spring structure for contacting and conducting with a gold finger contact piece, and the end of the elastic socket away from the plug-in end is a fisheye structure for terminating with a printed circuit board.

[0019] The elastic socket is easy to connect with the gold finger and the printed circuit board at the same time, and the elastic structure of the elastic socket is tightly attached to the corresponding gold finger in a direction perpendicular to the floating direction, avoiding poor contact caused by deviation in this direction.

[0020] Furthermore, a plurality of the elastic jacks are fixed on a jack fixing block, and the elastic jacks on the jack fixing block include single-ended jacks and spaced-apart grounding jacks, forming a differential jack pair for differential signals.

[0021] The relative position accuracy of the same group of elastic sockets is improved by the socket fixing block, and reliable connection with the gold finger is easily achieved.

[0022] Furthermore, the plug-in ends of the gold finger printed circuit board are provided with single-ended gold fingers and spaced-apart grounding gold fingers, forming a differential gold finger pair for differential signals; the contact piece of the adapter connector is an elastic jack, and the multiple elastic jacks that cooperate with the same gold finger printed circuit board are an elastic jack group, and the elastic jack group includes a single-ended jack and spaced-apart grounding jacks, forming a differential jack pair for differential signals.

[0023] The contact itself has a floating function. When there is an installation tolerance between multiple modules in the high-speed connector, the contact can still maintain contact, thereby enhancing the reliability of the connector's high-speed signal transmission. At the same time, the elastic jack is tightly attached to the corresponding gold finger in a direction perpendicular to the floating direction, avoiding poor contact caused by deviation in this direction, and realizing reliable signal transmission when tolerances occur in two directions.

[0024] Furthermore, the connector includes multiple gold finger printed boards, and in two adjacent gold finger printed boards, in the distribution direction of the gold finger printed boards, the projection of the differential gold finger pair in one of the gold finger printed boards falls within the range of the grounding gold fingers in the other gold finger printed board; correspondingly, in two adjacent elastic socket groups, in the distribution direction of the elastic socket groups, the projection of the differential socket pair in one of the elastic socket groups falls within the range of the grounding sockets in the other elastic socket group.

[0025] The grounding and signal of adjacent groups are staggered to ensure the reliable transmission of high-speed signals.

[0026] The above description is only an overview of the technical solution of the utility model. In order to more clearly understand the technical means of the utility model, it can be implemented in accordance with the contents of the specification. In order to make the above and other purposes, features and advantages of the utility model more obvious and easy to understand, the following preferred embodiments are specifically cited and described in detail with the accompanying drawings.

[0084] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0085] The utility model is a floating high-speed connector embodiment, such as Figures 1 to 19 The connector includes a plug 1 and a socket 2. Figure 1 to Figure 2 As shown, the plug 1 and the socket 2 are respectively fixed on the corresponding module sub-board and the chassis backplane, wherein the plug 1 is fixed on the corresponding board by screws III19, and the socket 1 is fixed on the corresponding board by screws N25.

[0086] like Figures 3 to 8 As shown, the plug 1 includes a plug housing 11, a plug insulator component 12, and a pressure plate 13. A plurality of plug insulator components 12 are inserted into the plug housing 11, and the portion of the plug insulator component 12 close to the plug-in end abuts against the step of the inner wall of the plug housing 11 to prevent the plug insulator component 12 from slipping out toward the plug-in end. After the plug insulator component 12 is inserted into the jack housing 11, a pressure plate 13 is fixed to the rear end of the plug housing 11 away from the plug-in end by means of screws 114, and the pressure plate 13 abuts against the rear end of the plug insulator component 12 away from the plug-in end to prevent the plug insulator component 12 from slipping out toward the rear end, thereby fixing the plug insulator component 12 in the plug housing 11. The plug-in end of the plug insulator component 12 extends out of the plug-in end of the plug housing 11, and the adapter end of the plug insulator component 12 is located on the side of the plug housing 11.

[0087] like Figures 9 to 13 As shown, the socket 2 includes a socket housing 21 and a socket insulator component 22. A plurality of socket insulator components 22 are inserted into the socket housing 21. The portion of the socket insulator component 22 close to the plug-in end abuts against the step of the inner side wall of the socket housing 21 to prevent the socket insulator component 22 from being dislodged toward the plug-in end. The rear end of the socket insulator component 22 abuts against the module sub-board or the chassis backboard fixed to the socket 2 to prevent the socket insulator component 22 from being dislodged backwards.

[0088] The plug housing 11 and the socket housing 21 are basic parts, and other corresponding parts on the plug 1 and the socket 2 are directly or indirectly mounted on the plug housing 11 and the socket housing 21, which have the functions of basic support and reinforcement of the insulator parts. Multiple plug insulator parts 12 are fixed in the plug housing 1, and multiple socket insulator parts 22 are fixed in the socket housing 2, so that the connector can have the integrated transmission function of differential, power and single-ended signals.

[0089] The shell (including the plug shell 11 and the socket 21) is of standardized design, and the insulator components (including the plug insulator component 12 and the socket insulator component 22) are of modular design. The insulator components can be electrical signal modules such as high-speed modules, power modules, single-ended modules, etc. The installation method of various modules in the corresponding shell is consistent. Different insulator components can be installed in the shell according to needs to realize integrated transmission of different signals.

[0090] like Figures 7 and 8 As shown, the plug end insulator component 12 includes a plug insulator 121, a transfer jack 122, a transfer pressure plate 123, and a gold finger printed circuit board 124. The plug end of the plug insulator 121 is provided with a plug cavity 1211, and the end of the plug insulator 121 away from the plug end is also arranged with a plurality of plug slots 1212 for inserting the gold finger printed circuit board 124, and the plug slots 1212 are connected to the plug cavity 1211.

[0091] The gold finger printed circuit board 124 is a sheet structure, and its plug-in end is distributed in the width direction (a direction perpendicular to the plug-in direction, and the plug-in direction is parallel to the length direction of the gold finger printed circuit board 124) with gold finger I 1241, gold finger II 1242, grounding gold finger I 1243, gold finger III 1244, gold finger IV 1245, grounding gold finger II 1246, and single-ended gold finger 1247. Fig.15 Gold finger I 1241 and gold finger II 1242 form a pair of differential signals, and gold finger III 1244 and gold finger IV 1245 form a pair of differential signals, wherein the width of the signal gold finger (including the differential gold finger pair forming the differential signal and the single-ended gold finger 1247) is smaller than that of the ground gold finger.

[0092] A plurality of transfer gold fingers 1248 are distributed on one side of the width direction of the gold finger printed board 124, and the extension direction of the transfer gold fingers 1248 is perpendicular to the extension direction of the gold fingers at the plug-in end. The transfer gold fingers 1248 are provided with transfer sockets 122. The transfer gold fingers 1248 are connected to the corresponding gold fingers at the plug-in end through the corresponding strip line structure inside the gold finger printed board 124.

[0093] After the gold finger printed board 124 is inserted into the plug slot 1212 of the plug insulator 121, the gold finger of the plug end of the gold finger printed board 124 is located in the plug cavity 1211. Then the adapter plate 123 is fixed to the end of the plug insulator 121 away from the plug end to wrap and protect the gold finger printed board 124. The side wall of the adapter plate 123 is provided with a plurality of through holes for the adapter socket 122 to extend out, which is used to connect the adapter socket 122 with the corresponding printed board. In other embodiments, other structures can be used to connect with the adapter gold finger 1248, for example, the adapter gold finger 1248 can be directly connected with the corresponding printed board using a wire.

[0094] In the cross section perpendicular to the arrangement direction of the gold finger printed circuit board 124, the cross sections of the plug insulator 121 and the adapter plate 123 are both L-shaped. After the two are docked and fixed, the edges of the gold finger printed circuit board 124 are wrapped. The plug insulator 121 and the adapter plate 123 provide a fixed protection for the gold finger printed circuit board 124, protecting the gold finger printed circuit board 124 from damage. The plug insulator 121 and the adapter plate 123 are made of LCP liquid crystal polymer, which can effectively reduce the loss during signal transmission.

[0095] The plug-in end of the adapter jack 122 is a fisheye structure, and the end away from the plug-in end is a tuning fork structure. The tuning fork structure of the adapter jack 122 is clamped on the corresponding adapter gold finger 1248 and is connected to the gold finger printed circuit board 124. The fisheye structure of the adapter jack 122 is used to terminate the corresponding printed circuit board.

[0096] The gold finger printed circuit board 124 is formed by a conventional printed circuit board processing method, and a strip line structure is used inside the gold finger printed circuit board 124. The adapter jack 122 is formed by integrally stamping the strip material through a progressive die to form a sheet contact structure.

[0097] like Figure 12 to Figure 13 As shown, the socket insulator component 22 includes a socket insulator 221 and an elastic socket 222. A plurality of elastic socket groups are inserted on the socket insulator 221, and each elastic socket group includes a plurality of elastic sockets 222. The elastic sockets 222 on each elastic socket group are arranged on a socket fixing block 223. A plurality of elastic sockets 222 are distributed in the length direction of the socket fixing block 223.

[0098] A plurality of socket fixing blocks 223 are inserted on the socket insulator 221 , and the distribution direction of the socket fixing blocks 223 on the socket insulator 221 is perpendicular to the distribution direction of the elastic sockets 222 on the socket fixing blocks 223 .

[0099] The elastic socket 222 is formed by integral stamping of a strip through a progressive die, and is a sheet contact structure. A plurality of elastic sockets 222 are arranged on the socket fixing block 223 at unequal intervals. The middle part of the elastic socket 222 is fixed to the socket fixing block 223, the plug-in end of the elastic socket 222 is a bent spring structure, and the end of the elastic socket 222 away from the plug-in end is a fisheye structure. The fisheye structure of the elastic socket 222 is terminated with a corresponding printed circuit board, and the spring structure cooperates with the gold finger printed circuit board 124 at the plug end.

[0100] The jack fixing block 223 is inserted into the insertion hole 2211 of the socket insulator 221. Buckles 2231 are provided at both ends of the length direction of the jack fixing block 223. Correspondingly, the two side walls of the insertion hole 2211 in the length direction are provided with clamping holes 2212. After the jack fixing block 222 is inserted into place, the buckles 2231 are clamped in the clamping holes 2212, so that the jack fixing block 223 is fixed in the socket insulator 221.

[0101] The side wall of the jack fixing block 223 in the length direction is provided with guide grooves 2232 , and correspondingly, the inner wall of the insertion hole 2211 is provided with guide protrusions 2213 to guide the jack fixing block 223 to be inserted into the insertion hole 2211 .

[0102] One side wall of the insertion hole 2211 is provided with an avoidance groove 2214 corresponding to the elastic hole 223. After the elastic hole 222 is matched with the gold finger printed circuit board 124, the spring structure of the elastic hole 222 undergoes elastic deformation and is firmly squeezed on the corresponding gold finger. The avoidance groove 2214 provides an avoidance space for the deformation of the elastic hole 222.

[0103] A limiting platform 2233 is provided on one of the side walls in the length direction of the jack fixing block 223, and correspondingly, a limiting groove 2215 is provided on the side wall of the insertion hole 2211, and the limiting groove 2215 penetrates the wall of the insertion hole 2211. When inserting the jack fixing block 223, the limiting platform 2233 is inserted into the limiting groove 2215 along the insertion direction, and when the limiting platform 2233 is against the bottom of the limiting groove 2215, the jack fixing block 223 is inserted into place, and the jack fixing blocks 222 are inserted into the socket insulator 221 in turn. Through the matching of the limiting groove 2215 and the limiting platform 2233, the positions of each jack fixing block 223 in the insertion direction are kept consistent.

[0104] The socket insulator 221 and the socket fixing block 223 support the elastic socket 222 and provide fixing protection for the elastic socket 222. The socket insulator 221 and the socket fixing block 223 are made of LCP liquid crystal polymer, which can effectively reduce the loss during signal transmission.

[0105] After the plug and the socket are plugged together, the contact parts (including the gold finger printed board 124 and the elastic socket 222) inside the insulator parts (including the plug insulator parts 12 and the plug insulator parts 22) cooperate as follows: Fig.15 The spring structure of the elastic socket 222 is overlapped on the corresponding gold finger to achieve conduction.

[0106] The contact members in the high-speed connector of the utility model are basic conductors for signal transmission, including the adapter jack 122, the gold finger contact members on the gold finger printed board 124 (including gold finger I 1241, gold finger II 1242, grounding gold finger I 1243, gold finger III 1244, gold finger IV 1245, grounding gold finger II 1246, and single-end gold finger 1247), and the elastic jack 222. The spring structure of the elastic jack 222 is overlapped with the gold finger corresponding to the gold finger printed board 124, the adapter jack 122 is connected to the gold finger printed board, and terminated with the corresponding printed board, and the elastic jack 222 is terminated with the corresponding printed board, so that the signals on the two printed boards are transmitted through the high-speed connector.

[0107] The jack fixing block 223 corresponds to the gold finger printed board 124 one by one. After the plug 1 and the socket 2 are plugged in place, the elastic jack 222 on the same jack fixing block 223 is at the limit floating position on the corresponding gold finger printed board 124 as shown in FIG. Figure 16 to Figure 17 As shown, each elastic socket 222 floats relative to the width direction of the gold finger printed board 124. Each gold finger at the plug-in end of the gold finger printed board 124 is wider than the corresponding elastic socket 222. If the position of the elastic socket 222 in the width direction after plugging has a certain deviation, the deviation range is as follows: Figure 16 to Figure 17 Within the left and right limit ranges shown, it can be ensured that the elastic socket 222 is still in contact with the contact piece corresponding to the gold finger printed circuit board 124. According to mechanical simulation calculations, the floating amount of the elastic socket 222 relative to the gold finger printed circuit board 124 in the width direction is ±0.5mm. Within this floating range, the elastic socket 222 can be in normal contact with the corresponding gold finger, and the high-speed transmission performance is reliable.

[0108] The elastic sockets 222 are in contact with the corresponding gold fingers respectively, and the same group of elastic sockets 222 connected with the same gold finger printed board 124 includes a signal socket (including a differential socket pair for connecting with a differential gold finger pair, a single-ended socket for connecting with a single-ended gold finger finger), a grounding socket (for connecting with a corresponding grounding gold finger finger), and the differential socket pair includes two elastic sockets 222. The microstrip line or stripline calculation formula is adopted, and the high-speed signal electromagnetic simulation is used to determine the differential line width, the line distance between the differential lines, the spacing between the differential gold fingers and the grounding gold fingers, and the structure of the elastic socket, so as to ensure the high-speed performance of the contact under the extreme floating condition.

[0109] like Figure 18 to Figure 19 The figure shows the insertion of two adjacent gold finger printed boards 124 and the elastic sockets 222 on the corresponding socket fixing blocks 223. The arrangement positions of the gold fingers on the two adjacent gold finger printed boards 124 are different, and correspondingly, the arrangement positions of the elastic sockets 222 on the socket fixing blocks 223 are also different. Fig.18The figure shows an A-type contact model formed by the gold finger printed circuit board 124 and the elastic socket 222 on the corresponding socket fixing block 223. Fig.19 The figure shows a B-type contact model formed after the gold finger printed circuit board 124 is plugged into the elastic socket 222 on the corresponding socket fixing block 223. After the high-speed connector is plugged in, it includes an A-type contact model and a B-type contact model. The A-type contact model and the B-type contact model are arranged at intervals in the high-speed connector.

[0110] In the same direction, in the A-type contact model, the arrangement of the gold fingers is a single-ended gold finger, a grounding gold finger, two differential signal gold fingers, a grounding gold finger, and two differential signal gold fingers; in the B-type contact model, the arrangement of the gold fingers is a single-ended gold finger, two differential signal gold fingers, a grounding gold finger, two differential signal gold fingers, and a grounding gold finger. The plug-in model formed by two adjacent gold finger printed boards 124 and the elastic socket group adopts the A-type contact model and the B-type contact model respectively, so that the differential line is close to the ground line of the adjacent column, so as to reduce the crosstalk between the differential pairs of the adjacent columns.

[0111] In order to realize the floating function of the connector as a whole, it is necessary to ensure that the guiding and identifying structure of the connector also has the floating function. A guiding pin 15 is provided on the plugging end face of the plug housing 11, and a guiding pin hole 211 is provided on the plugging end face of the socket housing 21. The guiding pin 15 is a cylindrical body with a tip, and the guiding pin hole 211 is a waist-shaped hole. The length direction of the guiding pin hole 211 is parallel to the length direction of the socket fixing block 223, that is, the length direction of the guiding pin hole 211 is parallel to the distribution direction of the elastic sockets 222 in the same elastic socket group. The guiding pin hole 211 is provided at both ends of the length direction of the socket 2, and the length direction of the guiding pin hole 211 is parallel to the width direction of the plug, so that when the plug 1 is plugged in with the socket 2, during the plugging and guiding process of the plug 1 and the socket 2, the guiding pin 15 can float in the length direction of the guiding pin hole 211, ensuring that during the plugging process of the connector, the guiding pin 15 has a floating amount of ±0.5mm along the width direction of the connector, realizing the floating of the connector guiding structure, and avoiding interference with the floating of the elastic socket 222 and the corresponding gold finger. The guide pin hole 211 may also be replaced by a hole of other shapes, such as a rectangular hole.

[0112] The plug-in end face of the plug housing 11 is provided with an identification guide sleeve installation groove 111, and the identification guide sleeve installation hole 111 includes a mounting portion 1111 and a floating portion 1112 that are interconnected and distributed in the width direction of the plug. A threaded hole is provided at the bottom of the mounting portion 1111, and the mounting portion 1111 is used to install the guide sleeve pressure plate 17. The guide sleeve pressure plate 17 is provided with a through hole. After the guide sleeve pressure plate 17 is nested in the mounting portion 1111, the through hole on the guide sleeve pressure plate 17 is aligned with the threaded hole at the bottom of the mounting portion 1111, and a screw II 18 is used to pass through the through hole on the guide sleeve pressure plate 17 and then screwed into the threaded hole to fix the guide sleeve pressure plate 17 in the identification guide sleeve installation groove 111.

[0113] The floating portion 1112 extends in the width direction of the plug 1, and a stopper 1113 is provided on both sides of the opening of the floating portion 1112. An identification guide sleeve 16 is movably provided in the floating portion 1112. In this embodiment, the identification guide sleeve 16 is an octagon, and the two opposite side walls of the identification guide sleeve 16 are slidably matched with the two side walls of the floating portion 1112. The spacing between the two opposite side walls of the identification guide sleeve 16 is smaller than the spacing between the two stopper 1113, so as to prevent the identification guide sleeve 16 from slipping out of the floating portion 1112.

[0114] The identification guide sleeve 16 is provided with a semicircular hole, and correspondingly, the socket housing 21 is provided with an identification guide pin 23, which is a semi-cylinder with a pointed portion, matching the semi-circular hole on the identification guide sleeve 16. Only when the plug 1 and the socket 2 are plugged in the correct orientation, the identification guide pin 23 can be inserted into the identification guide sleeve 16, and can they be smoothly plugged in, thereby preventing the plug 1 and the socket 2 from being plugged in incorrectly. In addition to using a semicircular hole, the identification hole on the identification guide sleeve 16 can also be in other shapes, such as an isosceles triangle, and correspondingly, the identification guide pin 23 uses a cylinder of a corresponding shape, as long as the two are guaranteed to be plugged in the correct orientation. The shape of the identification guide sleeve 16 can also be replaced by other shapes, such as a hexagon, as long as the identification guide sleeve 16 can be restricted to the plug in a suitable orientation, thereby ensuring that the orientation of the identification hole is correct. The bottom of the floating portion 1112 is provided with a waist-shaped hole to provide a space for the identification guide pin 23 to avoid, and the waist-shaped hole can also be replaced by a hole of other shapes, such as a rectangular hole.

[0115] The maximum outer diameter of the identification guide sleeve 16 is equal to or smaller than the inner diameter of the mounting portion 1111. When installing the identification guide sleeve 16, first insert the identification guide sleeve 16 into the mounting portion 1111, then move the identification guide sleeve 16 to the floating portion 1112, and then install the guide sleeve pressure plate 17 in the mounting portion 1111 to limit the identification guide sleeve 16 to the floating portion 1112.

[0116] In order to control the orientation of the identification guide pin 23 to match the identification hole, the guide pin installation hole 212 on the socket housing 21 for installing the identification guide pin 23 is a square, the root of the identification guide pin 23 for inserting into the guide pin installation hole 212 is a regular octagon, the outer wall of the root of the identification guide pin 23 is embedded with a retaining spring 24, and the retaining spring 24 protrudes out of the outer wall of the identification guide pin 23 when it is not under force. The inner wall of the guide pin installation hole 212 is provided with a card slot 213 matching the retaining spring 24. When the root of the identification guide pin 23 is inserted into the guide pin installation hole 212, four side walls of the root of the identification guide pin 23 are parallel to the inner wall of the guide pin installation hole 212, and the identification guide pin 23 is inserted into the guide pin installation hole 212 at a certain angle. At this time, the retaining spring 24 is compressed. After the identification guide pin 23 is installed in place, the retaining spring 24 returns to its original state and is stuck in the retaining groove 213, so that the identification guide pin 23 is fixed. The identification guide pin 23 can also be fixed in the guide pin mounting hole 212 by forced installation. The guide pin mounting hole 212 can also adopt other shapes, such as an isosceles triangle, and the root of the identification guide pin 23 is also an isosceles triangle, as long as the orientation of the identification column (semicircular column, isosceles triangle column, etc.) on the identification guide pin 23 is correct.

[0117] When the plug 1 and the socket 2 are plugged in, when the two are in the correct plugging orientation, the identification guide pin 23 is inserted into the identification guide sleeve 16. The semicircular hole opening on the identification guide sleeve 16 is provided with a chamfer to guide the tip of the identification guide pin 23 to be inserted into the semicircular hole. If the plug and the socket have a floating amount in the width direction, during the plugging process, the identification guide sleeve 16 can be driven to move in the floating portion 112, so that the identification guide pin 23 and the identification guide sleeve 16 can be aligned and plugged in.

[0118] The high-speed connector adopts a replaceable modular design. Multiple modular insulator components are installed in the shells of the plug and socket. Multiple modular contact groups are set in each insulator component (including modular gold finger printed circuit boards and modular elastic socket groups). Each contact group includes a single-ended contact, spaced ground contacts, and contact pairs that constitute differential signals, where the contacts are gold fingers or elastic sockets. Therefore, the modular high-speed connector can integrate the transmission of differential, power, single-ended and other signals. In two adjacent contact groups, in the distribution direction of the contact groups, the projection of the contact pairs that constitute the differential signal in one contact group falls within the range of the ground contacts of the other contact group, ensuring the reliable transmission of high-speed signals.

[0119] In summary, the gold fingers on the plug-in end of the gold finger printed circuit board 124 have a certain width, allowing the elastic socket 222 to have a certain floating range in the width direction; the utility model determines the width of each gold finger and the elastic socket (including the signal socket and the grounding socket) in the gold finger printed circuit board, the distance between the signal pins (including the signal gold fingers and the signal socket), and the distance between the signal pins and the grounding pins (including the grounding gold fingers and the grounding socket) through mechanical simulation, which can ensure that the contact has a floating amount of ±0.5mm along the width direction; the differential line width, the line spacing between the differential lines, and the spacing between the signal pins and the grounding pins are determined through electromagnetic simulation, and a non-equidistant spacing design is adopted to ensure that within the specified floating range, the contacts have good high-speed transmission performance; and the plug 1 and the socket 2 have identification and guiding structures that match each other and have floating functions, which cooperate with the floating of the contacts to realize the floating of the connector as a whole.

[0120] In other embodiments of the utility model, the gold finger can be replaced by other forms of contacts, for example, a sheet structure with a certain width is also adopted, and the elastic socket floats in the width direction of the sheet structure; the elastic socket can also be replaced by contacts of other shapes, for example, a waist-shaped hole-shaped contact can be adopted, and the contact piece adapted thereto is a needle-shaped contact piece, so that the needle-shaped contact piece floats inside the waist-shaped hole-shaped contact piece.

[0121] In other embodiments of the present invention, the structures on the plug 1 and the socket 2 can be interchanged.

[0122] In other embodiments of the utility model, elastic buckles can be provided on both sides of the identification guide sleeve 16, and only a floating part is provided in the identification guide sleeve installation groove 111. When the identification guide sleeve 16 is nested in the identification guide sleeve installation groove 111, the elastic buckles are contracted. After nesting, the elastic buckles return to their original state, and the stop platform 1113 rests on the elastic buckles to prevent them from falling out.

[0123] In other embodiments of the present invention, relatively floating contacts may be used in other types of connectors, not limited to high-speed connectors.

[0124] In other embodiments of the present invention, the floating identification and guiding structure of the present invention can be used in other types of connectors, not limited to high-speed connectors.

[0125] In other embodiments of the utility model, the identification guide sleeve 16 is slidably arranged on the outside of the side wall of the plug 1, and the identification guide sleeve 16 is slidably connected to the side wall of the plug 1 by means of a slider and a slide rail, and the identification hole faces the plug end. The identification guide pin 23 passes through the identification hole and enters the space on the rear side of the identification guide sleeve 16. This structure can omit the avoidance hole and is applied to a plug 1 with a thinner thickness.

[0126] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
