Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of high-frequency connectors, in particular to a shielding cover with a heat dissipation structure and a high-frequency connector. Background Art

[0002] The main function of the connector is to transmit electrical signals between two electrical devices. At high frequencies, the attenuation and phase delay of the connector will become more significant, which will affect the transmission quality of the signal. In addition, at high frequencies, the connector is also more susceptible to external interference, so shielding technology is needed to reduce the sensitivity of the connector to external interference. The existing multi-port connector composed of multiple connectors includes a circuit board, multiple connectors and a shielding cover. The connector is first fixed to the circuit board, and the connector and the circuit board are welded by reflow soldering. Then, the shielding cover is crimped to the circuit board and the connector is covered therein. In the production process, the shielding cover can be assembled only after the reflow soldering is completed. The shielding cover is plugged into the jack on the circuit board. At the same time, the pins need to be crimped or wave soldered again to achieve the fixing of the shielding cover and the circuit board. The equipment involved in the automated process is complex and the cost is high, so the process efficiency still has room for improvement. On the other hand, since the shielding cover is in a sealed form, the high-frequency connector will continue to emit heat during operation. Although some through holes are set for heat dissipation in the shielding cover of the existing connector, the heat dissipation effect is poor, which can easily cause the connector to overheat and cause failure. Therefore, the heat dissipation performance of the shielding cover needs to be improved. Utility Model Content
