Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of terminal technology, and in particular to a connector, a connector assembly, and an electronic device. Background Art

[0002] Connectors are essential components in electronic devices, used to connect two active devices and transmit current or signals between the two active devices. Connectors usually include a male connector and a female connector that match each other. The signal terminals of the male connector and the female connector are in contact and conductive, realizing signal transmission between the male connector and the female connector. At the same time, the male connector and the female connector are also provided with a ground return contact structure. When the parasitic inductance of the ground return contact structure is too large, the quality of signal transmission between the male connector and the female connector is poor, which is not conducive to the transmission of high-frequency signals. Utility Model Content

[0003] Embodiments of the present application provide a connector, a connector assembly, and an electronic device for improving signal transmission quality.

[0004] A first aspect of the present application provides a connector, the connector comprising:

[0005] Base;

[0006] A connection base, which is mounted on the base and includes a plurality of shielding plates, wherein the signal terminals of the connector are located in signal ports surrounded by the shielding plates;

[0007] The shielding plate has a contact portion protruding relative to a plate surface of the shielding plate, and the contact portion is electrically connected to the shielding plate via at least two connecting portions.

[0008] When the first connector is connected to the second connector, the second signal terminal and the grounding member of the second connector extend into the signal port of the first connector. In the signal port, the second signal terminal is connected to the first signal terminal of the first connector, and the contact portion of the shielding plate is connected to the grounding member. The contact portion is electrically connected to the shielding plate through at least two connecting portions, that is, at least two parallel loops are formed between the grounding member and the shielding plate, thereby reducing the parasitic inductance between the grounding member and the shielding plate, improving the reflux of the signal transmission between the first signal terminal and the second signal terminal, improving the signal transmission quality, and facilitating the transmission of high-frequency signals.

[0009] In a possible implementation manner, the connecting portion and the shielding plate are separately provided and fixedly connected.

[0010] In a possible implementation, the connection part, the shielding plate and the contact part are integrally formed and made of the same material, so that the connection reliability of the first connection part, the shielding plate and the contact part, and the second connection part, the shielding plate and the contact part is higher.

[0011] In a possible implementation, the connection portion is an elastic arm. When the contact portion is subjected to an external force perpendicular to the surface of the shielding plate, the connection portion in the elastic arm structure can be elastically deformed, so that the contact portion can move in a direction perpendicular to the surface of the shielding plate.

[0012] During the connection between the first connector and the second connector, the second signal terminal of the second connector extends into the signal port of the first connector, and the contact portion protruding relative to the plate surface of the shielding plate abuts against the grounding member of the second connector, and the grounding member can apply pressure to the contact portion, so that the contact portion moves toward the outside of the signal port under the drive of the connecting portion, so that the grounding member can smoothly extend into the signal port, reducing the risk of jamming during the connection between the first connector and the second connector. When the connecting portion is in an elastic arm structure, the rebound force after elastic deformation is large, that is, the external force acting on the contact portion is large, so that the contact portion and the grounding member maintain reliable abutment, ensuring reliable connection between the grounding member and the shielding plate, and improving the reliability of signal transmission. In addition, in the shielding plate, the connecting portion in an elastic arm structure has a high service life and has the advantages of simple structure and convenient processing.

[0013] In a possible implementation, the shielding plate has a through hole, and the connecting portion is connected to the side wall of the through hole. This structure facilitates punching and stamping of the shielding plate to form the connecting portion of the elastic arm structure and the contact portion protruding relative to the plate surface of the shielding plate.

[0014] In a possible implementation, the connection portion includes a first connection portion and a second connection portion, the first connection portion and the second connection portion are located on both sides of the contact portion, and the first connection portion and the second connection portion extend in the same direction. The shielding plate of this structure can reduce the dimension perpendicular to the extension direction of the first connection portion and the second connection portion, thereby facilitating the spatial arrangement of the connector.

[0015] In a possible implementation, the connection portion includes a first connection portion, a second connection portion, a third connection portion and a fourth connection portion, and the first connection portion, the second connection portion, the third connection portion and the fourth connection portion are distributed in an array, or in a cross shape, or in an X shape.

[0016] When the first connector is connected to the second connector, the contact portion of the first connector is electrically connected to the shielding plate through the first connection portion, the second connection portion, the third connection portion and the fourth connection portion, that is, the grounding member and the shielding plate are connected through the first connection portion, the second connection portion, the third connection portion and the fourth connection portion, forming four parallel loops, thereby further reducing the parasitic inductance between the grounding member of the second connector and the shielding plate of the first connector, further improving the reflux of the signal transmission between the first signal terminal of the first connector and the second signal terminal of the second connector, improving the signal transmission quality, and facilitating the transmission of high-frequency signals. In addition, the shielding plate of this structure includes four elastic arm structures (the first connection portion, the second connection portion, the third connection portion and the fourth connection portion), and when elastically deformed by an external force perpendicular to the plate surface direction of the shielding plate, the four elastic arm structures exert a greater rebound force on the contact portion, increasing the pressure between the contact portion and the grounding member, and further improving the connection reliability between the shielding plate and the grounding member.

[0017] In a possible implementation, the connector includes a plurality of connection sockets distributed in an array.

[0018] A second aspect of the present application provides a connector assembly, the connector assembly comprising:

[0019] A first connector, the first connector is the connector described above;

[0020] a second connector, the second connector comprising a grounding member and a second signal terminal;

[0021] When the first connector is connected to the second connector, the first signal terminal of the first connector is connected to the second signal terminal of the second connector, and the contact portion of the first connector is in contact with the grounding member of the second connector.

[0022] It can be understood that since the connector assembly includes the connector described above, when the first connector is connected to the second connector, it can reduce the parasitic inductance between the grounding member and the shielding plate, improve the backflow of the signal transmission between the first signal terminal and the second signal terminal, improve the signal transmission quality, and facilitate the transmission of high-frequency signals.

[0023] A third aspect of the present application provides an electronic device, which includes a first electronic device and a second electronic device, and the first electronic device and the second electronic device are connected via the above connector assembly.

[0024] It can be understood that since the electronic device includes the connector assembly described above, the signal transmission quality between the first electronic device and the second electronic device can be improved, and the transmission of high-frequency signals between the first electronic device and the second electronic device is facilitated.

[0055] Figure 3 A partial schematic diagram of the first connection seat and the second connection seat is shown. The first connection seat 1 of the first connector has a plurality of signal ports 11, and the first signal terminal 12 is located in the signal port 11. The second connection seat 3 of the second connector has a plurality of second signal terminals 31. The positions of the plurality of first connection seats 1 correspond to the positions of the plurality of second connection seats 3, so that when the first connection seat is connected to the second connection seat, the second signal terminal 31 of the second connection seat 3 can extend into the signal port 11 of the first connection seat 1, so that the second signal terminal 31 is connected and conductive with the first signal terminal 12 in the signal port 11.

[0056] The second connection base of the second connector also includes a grounding member ( Figure 3 (not shown), accordingly, the first connection seat 1 of the first connector includes a shielding structure, and the shielding structure surrounds the above-mentioned signal port 11. When the first connector is connected to the second connector, the grounding member of the second connector is connected to the shielding structure of the first connector, and the first signal terminal 12 of the first connector is connected to the second signal terminal 31 of the second connector, and the structure of the two being connected is located in the shielding structure of the first connection seat. Figure 3 Only partial structure of the first connection seat 1 of the first connector and partial structure of the second connection seat 3 of the second connector are shown, and only a schematic diagram of the first signal terminal 12 of the first connector and the second signal terminal 31 of the second connector being connected is shown.

[0057] Figure 3 Only partial structures of the first connector 301 and the second connector 302 are shown, and the first connector 301 and the second connector 302 may include more structures than shown.

[0058] Figure 4 The schematic diagram of the structure of the first connection seat of the first connector in a specific embodiment is shown. The first connection seat 1 of the first connector includes a plurality of shielding plates, and the plurality of shielding plates surround a plurality of signal ports 11 . Figure 4 In the embodiment shown, the first connection base 1 has four signal ports 11 distributed in an array, and the four signal ports 11 are surrounded by a plurality of shielding plates. In this embodiment, the first connection base 1 includes a first shielding plate 1371, a second shielding plate 1372 and a third shielding plate 1373 arranged at intervals along the first direction, and three fourth shielding plates 1381 arranged at intervals along the second direction are further arranged between the first shielding plate 1371 and the second shielding plate 1372, and three fifth shielding plates 1382 arranged at intervals along the second direction are further arranged between the second shielding plate 1372 and the third shielding plate 1373. The first shielding plate 1371, the second shielding plate 1372, the third shielding plate 1373, the fourth shielding plate 1381 and the fifth shielding plate 1382 are all made of conductive materials, and the conductive materials include but are not limited to metal materials, conductive plastics, conductive rubbers, electroplated plastics, etc.

[0059] The first shielding plate 1371, the second shielding plate 1372 and the fourth shielding plate 1381 surround two signal ports 11 arranged along the second direction, the second shielding plate 1372, the third shielding plate 1373 and the fifth shielding plate 1382 surround two signal ports 11 arranged along the second direction, and the first signal terminal 12 is located in the signal port 11.

[0060] Figure 4In the illustrated embodiment, the plurality of signal ports 11 are arranged in an array, and correspondingly, the first signal lines are also arranged in an array, the first signal lines correspond to the signal ports one by one, and extend into the first base to be connected to the first signal terminals 12 in the signal ports 11. In other embodiments, the plurality of signal ports 11 may also be arranged in other ways, such as a straight line, a ring, etc., and the arrangement of the signal lines can be adapted to the arrangement of the signal ports 11.

[0061] Please refer to Figure 3 When the first connector is connected to the second connector, the conductive first signal terminal 12 and the second signal terminal 31 are located in the shielding structure formed by the shielding plate. At the same time, the shielding structure of the first connector is conductively connected to the grounding member of the second connector (not shown in the figure), so that the first connection seat 1 and the second connection seat 3 achieve potential balance. The shielding structure can prevent external signals from causing crosstalk to the first signal terminal 12 and the second signal terminal 31, improve the integrity and quality of the signal transmission of the first signal terminal 12 and the second signal terminal 31, and reduce the risk of signal backflow.

[0062] The shielding plate is provided with at least one contact portion, which protrudes relative to the plate surface of the shielding plate and is used to contact and conduct with the grounding member of the second connection seat. Figure 5 , Figure 5 Schematic diagram of the structure of the first connection seat in another specific embodiment. The first connection seat 1 includes a first shielding plate 1371 and a second shielding plate 1372 arranged at intervals along the first direction, and three fourth shielding plates 1381 arranged at intervals along the second direction are included between the first shielding plate 1371 and the second shielding plate 1372. The first shielding plate 1371, the second shielding plate 1372, and the fourth shielding plate 1381 are all made of conductive materials. The first shielding plate 1371, the second shielding plate 1372, and the fourth shielding plate 1381 surround two signal ports 11 arranged along the second direction, and the first signal terminal 12 is located in the signal port 11.

[0063] The first shielding plate 1371, the second shielding plate 1372 and the fourth shielding plate 1381 are all provided with a contact portion 131, and the contact portion 131 of each shielding plate protrudes relative to the plate surface of the shielding plate. Figure 3When the first connector is connected to the second connector, the second signal terminal 31 of the second connection seat 3 extends into the signal port 11 of the first connection seat 1, and the grounding member of the second connection seat 3 contacts and conducts with the shielding plate of the first connection seat 1. At the same time, the contact portion 131 protruding from the surface of the shielding plate abuts against the grounding member, and the grounding member can apply pressure to the contact portion 131, so that the contact portion 131 deforms toward the outside of the signal port 11, so that the grounding member can smoothly extend into the signal port 11. After the contact portion 131 deforms toward the outside of the signal port 11, it has a rebound force toward the inside of the signal port 11. Under the action of the rebound force, the contact portion 131 and the grounding member are kept in reliable abutment, ensuring reliable connection between the grounding member and the shielding plate.

[0064] Figure 6 The structure of a typical shielding plate is shown in FIG. The contact portion 131 of the shielding plate 13 protrudes relative to the surface of the shielding plate 13 and is connected to the shielding plate 13 via a connecting arm 132 . The connecting arm 132 and the contact portion 131 form an elastic cantilever structure.

[0065] Figure 7 A schematic diagram showing the connection position of the first connection socket and the second connection socket in an embodiment, wherein the shielding plate can be Figure 6 The shielding plate 13 is shown. The shielding plate 13 is connected to the contact portion 131 through a connecting arm 132. When the first connector is connected to the second connector, the second signal terminal 31 and the grounding member 32 of the second connector extend into the signal port 11 of the first connector. In the signal port 11, the second signal terminal 31 is connected to the first signal terminal 12 of the first connector, and the contact portion 131 of the shielding plate 13 is connected to the grounding member 32. During the operation of the connector assembly, the connecting arm 132 connecting the contact portion 131 and the grounding member 32 generates parasitic inductance.

[0066] During the connection between the first connector and the second connector, the connecting arm 132 undergoes elastic deformation, thereby driving the contact portion 131 to move, and achieving reliable contact between the contact portion 131 and the grounding member 32. In order to improve the reliability of the elastic deformation of the elastic cantilever structure, the connecting arm 132 is usually set to a slender structure, that is, the connecting arm 132 has a small width and a large length. The parasitic inductance of the elastic cantilever structure can be obtained by the following formula:

[0067]

[0068] Where l is the length (in cm), w is the width (in cm), and L is the parasitic inductance (in nH).

[0069] It can be seen from the above formula that for the connecting arm 132, when the length l increases and the width w decreases, the parasitic inductance of the connecting arm 132 further increases, resulting in poor signal return, which is not conducive to the transmission of high-frequency signals and reduces the quality of signal transmission.

[0070] The embodiment of the present application reduces the parasitic inductance by changing the structure of the shielding plate. Specifically, a plurality of connection structures are provided between the contact portion and the shielding plate.

[0071] Figure 8 A schematic diagram of the connection position of the first connection seat and the second connection seat in another embodiment is shown. When the first connector is connected to the second connector, the second signal terminal 31 and the grounding member 32 of the second connector extend into the signal port 11 of the first connection seat. In the signal port 11, the second signal terminal 31 is connected to the first signal terminal 12 of the first connector, and the contact portion 131 of the shielding plate 13 is in contact and connected to the grounding member 32. Among them, the contact portion 131 is electrically connected to the shielding plate 13 through the first connection portion 133 and the second connection portion 134, that is, the grounding member 32 is connected to the shielding plate 13 through the first connection portion 133 and the second connection portion 134, forming two parallel loops, thereby reducing the parasitic inductance between the grounding member 32 and the shielding plate 13, improving the reflux of the signal transmission between the first signal terminal 12 and the second signal terminal 31, improving the signal transmission quality, and facilitating the transmission of high-frequency signals. In addition, even if the first connection portion 133 and the second connection portion 134 are longer and smaller in width, since two parallel loops are formed between the grounding member 32 and the shielding plate 13 , the parasitic inductance between the grounding member 32 and the shielding plate 13 can still be reduced.

[0072] The first connection portion 133 and the second connection portion 134 are conductive structures, and the materials thereof include but are not limited to metal materials, conductive plastics, conductive rubbers, electroplated plastics and other conductive materials.

[0073] It should be noted that the materials of the first connection portion 133 , the second connection portion 134 and the shielding plate 13 may be the same or different, as long as the electrical connection between the contact portion 131 and the shielding plate 13 can be achieved.

[0074] In a specific embodiment, Fig. 9FIG. 1 shows a schematic diagram of the structure of a shielding plate in another specific embodiment. The contact portion 131 in this embodiment is connected to the shielding plate 13 through the first connection portion 133 and the second connection portion 134. The first connection portion 133 and the second connection portion 134 are both made of conductive materials, so that the contact portion 131 and the shielding plate 13 are electrically connected through the first connection portion 133 and the second connection portion 134. At the same time, the materials of the first connection portion 133 and the second connection portion 134 in this embodiment are different. The first connection portion 133 is a structure integrally formed with the shielding plate 13, and the second connection portion 134 can be a structure welded to the shielding plate 13 and the contact portion 131.

[0075] In another specific embodiment, Fig.10 FIG. 1 shows a schematic diagram of the structure of the shielding plate in another specific embodiment. The contact portion 131 in this embodiment is connected to the shielding plate 13 through the first connecting portion 133 and the second connecting portion 134. The first connecting portion 133, the second connecting portion 134 and the shielding plate 13 in this embodiment are integrally formed, and the contact portion 131 is also integrally formed with the shielding plate 13. In other words, the first connecting portion 133, the second connecting portion 134, the shielding plate 13, and the contact portion 131 are made of the same material, so that the connection reliability of the first connecting portion 133, the shielding plate 13 and the contact portion 131, and the second connecting portion 134, the shielding plate 13 and the contact portion 131 is higher.

[0076] In processing Fig.10 When the shielding plate shown in the figure is provided, two through holes 139 can be opened on the shielding plate 13, and the structure after the through holes is punched, and a contact portion 131 protruding relative to the plate surface of the shielding plate 13 is formed after punching, and a first connecting portion 133 and a second connecting portion 134 connecting the contact portion 131 and the shielding plate 13 are formed, and the first connecting portion 133 and the second connecting portion 134 are elastic arm structures. When the contact portion 131 is subjected to an external force perpendicular to the plate surface direction of the shielding plate 13, the first connecting portion 133 and the second connecting portion 134 in the elastic arm structure can be elastically deformed, so that the contact portion 131 can move in a direction perpendicular to the plate surface of the shielding plate 13.

[0077] During the connection between the first connector and the second connector, the second signal terminal of the second connector extends into the signal port of the first connector, and the contact portion 131 protruding relative to the plate surface of the shielding plate 13 abuts against the grounding member of the second connector, and the grounding member can apply pressure to the contact portion 131, so that the contact portion 131 moves toward the outside of the signal port driven by the first connection portion 133 and the second connection portion 134, so that the grounding member can smoothly extend into the signal port 11, reducing the risk of jamming during the connection between the first connector and the second connector. When the first connection portion 133 and the second connection portion 134 are in an elastic arm structure, the rebound force of the two after elastic deformation is relatively large, that is, the external force acting on the contact portion 131 is relatively large, so that the contact portion 131 maintains reliable abutment with the grounding member, ensuring the reliable connection between the grounding member and the shielding plate, and improving the reliability of signal transmission. In addition, Fig.10 In the shielding plate 13 shown, the first connecting portion 133 and the second connecting portion 134 in the elastic arm structure have a relatively long service life and also have the advantages of simple structure and convenient processing.

[0078] Fig.10 In the illustrated embodiment, the first connection portion 133 and the second connection portion 134 extend in substantially the same direction, that is, the angle between the two is substantially 180°.

[0079] Fig.11 A schematic diagram of the structure of the shielding plate in another specific embodiment is shown. In this embodiment, the first connecting portion 133 and the second connecting portion 134 extend in different directions, that is, there is a preset angle between the two. The size of the preset angle can be arranged according to actual needs, for example, it can be set according to the spatial arrangement relationship of each component in the first connecting socket of the first connector. This application does not specifically limit the angle between the first connecting portion 133 and the second connecting portion 134.

[0080] In other embodiments, the contact portion 131 and the shielding plate 13 may be electrically connected via more than two connecting portions, thereby further reducing the parasitic inductance between the shielding plate 13 and the grounding member 32 . Fig.12 The shielding plate 13 is connected to the contact portion 131 via three connecting portions, namely: a first connecting portion 133 , a second connecting portion 134 and a third connecting portion 135 .

[0081] When the first connector is connected to the second connector, the contact portion 131 of the first connector is electrically connected to the shielding plate 13 through the first connecting portion 133, the second connecting portion 134, and the third connecting portion 135, that is, the grounding member 32 is conductively connected to the shielding plate 13 through the first connecting portion 133, the second connecting portion 134, and the third connecting portion 135, forming three parallel loops, thereby further reducing the parasitic inductance between the grounding member of the second connector and the shielding plate 13 of the first connector, further improving the reflux of the signal transmission between the first signal terminal of the first connector and the second signal terminal of the second connector, improving the signal transmission quality, and facilitating the transmission of high-frequency signals.

[0082] Fig.12 In the illustrated embodiment, the first connection portion 133, the second connection portion 134 and the third connection portion 135 form a preset angle therebetween, and the preset angle can be set arbitrarily according to actual needs, for example, the three are distributed in a Y shape or a T shape.

[0083] Fig.13 The schematic diagram of the structure of the shielding plate in another specific embodiment is shown. The shielding plate 13 is connected to the contact portion 131 through four connecting portions, namely: a first connecting portion 133, a second connecting portion 134, a third connecting portion 135 and a fourth connecting portion 136. When the first connector is connected to the second connector, the contact portion 131 of the first connector is electrically connected to the shielding plate 13 through the first connecting portion 133, the second connecting portion 134, the third connecting portion 135 and the fourth connecting portion 136, that is, the grounding member 32 and the shielding plate 13 are connected through the first connecting portion 133, the second connecting portion 134, the third connecting portion 135 and the fourth connecting portion 136, forming four parallel loops, thereby further reducing the parasitic inductance between the grounding member of the second connector and the shielding plate 13 of the first connector, further improving the reflux of the signal transmission between the first signal terminal of the first connector and the second signal terminal of the second connector, improving the signal transmission quality, and facilitating the transmission of high-frequency signals. In addition, the shielding plate 13 of this structure includes four elastic arm structures (a first connecting part 133, a second connecting part 134, a third connecting part 135 and a fourth connecting part 136). When the shielding plate 13 is elastically deformed by an external force perpendicular to the plate surface direction, the four elastic arm structures apply a greater rebound force to the contact part 131, thereby increasing the pressure between the contact part 131 and the grounding part, and further improving the connection reliability between the shielding plate 13 and the grounding part.

[0084] Fig.13In the illustrated embodiment, the first connection portion 133 and the second connection portion 134 have the same extension direction, and both extend along the first direction; the third connection portion 135 and the fourth connection portion 136 have the same extension direction, and are the same as the extension direction of the first connection portion 133 and the second connection portion 134, that is, the third connection portion 135 and the fourth connection portion 136 extend along the first direction, the first connection portion 133 and the fourth connection portion 136 are spaced apart along the second direction, and the second connection portion 134 and the third connection portion 135 are spaced apart along the second direction, that is, the first connection portion 133, the second connection portion 134, the third connection portion 135 and the fourth connection portion 136 are arranged in an array.

[0085] Of course, the four connecting parts mentioned above may also be distributed in other shapes, such as an X-shaped distribution. Fig.14 The schematic diagram of the structure of the shielding plate in another specific embodiment is shown. The shielding plate 13 is connected to the contact portion 131 through the first connecting portion 133, the second connecting portion 134, the third connecting portion 135 and the fourth connecting portion 136, and the four connecting portions are distributed in an X shape. In other embodiments, the four connecting portions can also be distributed in a cross shape. The present application does not limit the distribution of the connecting portions.

[0086] Figure 5 In the first connection base 1 shown in FIG. 1 , the first shielding plate 1371 and the second shielding plate 1372 may be Fig.13 In the structure shown in FIG. 1 , the third shielding plate 1381 between the first shielding plate 1371 and the second shielding plate 1372 can be Fig.10 In actual use, a suitable shielding plate structure can be selected according to the space of each shielding plate 13 and the connection reliability requirement between the shielding plate 13 and the grounding member.

[0087] In summary, the shielding plate and the contact portion of the present application are connected via two or more connecting portions, and the distribution of the two or more connecting portions can be set according to the actual use scenario. Among them, the two or more connecting portions can be a structure integrally formed with the shielding plate, that is, the connecting portion forms an elastic arm structure connecting the contact portion and the shielding plate.

[0088] The shielding plate structure described in the above embodiments can also be used in other electronic devices. Fig.15 A schematic structural diagram of an electronic device in a specific embodiment is shown; Fig.16 for Fig.15 A cross-sectional view of Fig.17 for Fig.16 The electronic device comprises a first conductive member 4 and a second conductive member 5 to be connected, wherein the second conductive member 5 has a contact portion 51, and the contact portion 51 is used for contacting and conducting with the first conductive member 4.

[0089] Among them, the second conductive member 5 and the contact portion 51 can be electrically connected through at least two connecting portions. For example, the second conductive member 5 and the contact portion 51 are electrically connected through the first connecting portion 52 and the second connecting portion 53. When the contact portion 51 is in contact with the first conductive member 4 and is conductive, the first conductive member 4 and the second conductive member 5 are conductively connected through the first connecting portion 52 and the second connecting portion 53, thereby reducing the parasitic capacitance between the first conductive member 4 and the second conductive member 5 and improving the quality of signal transmission between the first conductive member 4 and the second conductive member 5.

[0090] The first connection part 52 and the second connection part 53 are integral structures with the second conductive member 5, that is, the first connection part 52 and the second connection part 53 are elastic arm structures, and the contact part 51 protrudes relative to the surface of the second conductive member 5. When the first conductive member 4 and the second conductive member 5 are plugged in, the contact part 51 protruding relative to the surface of the second conductive member 5 and the first conductive member 4 are squeezed, and under the action of pressure, the first connection part 53 and the second connection part 54 are elastically deformed, driving the contact part 51 to move in a direction away from the first conductive member 4. When the first conductive member 4 and the second conductive member 5 are plugged in place, the first connection part 52 and the second connection part 53 apply a rebound force to the contact part 51, so that the contact part 51 presses the first conductive member 4 (please refer to Fig.17 ), thereby improving the reliability of the electrical connection between the first conductive member 4 and the second conductive member 5.

[0091] In a specific embodiment, Fig.15 The electronic device shown may be a cable assembly, wherein the first conductive member 4 may be a cable, and the second conductive member 5 may be a connector connected to the cable.

[0092] In other embodiments, the electronic device may also be other devices, for example, a circuit board, wherein the first conductive member 4 may be a board body of the circuit board, and the second conductive member 5 may be an electronic component (such as a sensor), and the electronic component and the circuit board are electrically connected via the contact portion 51.

[0093] The same or similar parts between the various embodiments in this specification can be referred to each other. In particular, for the device embodiment and the terminal embodiment, since they are basically similar to the method embodiment, the description is relatively simple.
