[0056] The detailed description and technical contents of this application are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the accompanying drawings are only provided for reference and illustration and are not intended to limit this application.

[0057] The present application provides an electrical connector with a grounding reinforcement function, which can be applied to any electrical connector requiring shielding and grounding, and is particularly suitable for DP connectors (DP is the abbreviation for DisplayPort (digital video interface standard)).

[0058] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the electrical connector with grounding reinforcement function (hereinafter referred to as electrical connector) of the present application includes: an insulating body 1, a terminal assembly 2, a shielding member 3 and a metal shell 4.

[0059] The terminal assembly 2 is arranged on the insulating body 1, and the terminal assembly 2 includes, for example, a first terminal row 21 and a second terminal row 22 that can be spaced apart from each other. Among them, the first terminal row 21 includes a plurality of first terminals (not marked with element symbols) arranged side by side with each other, and these first terminals have at least one first grounding terminal 211; the second terminal row 22 includes a plurality of second terminals (not marked with element symbols) arranged side by side with each other, and these second terminals have at least one second grounding terminal 221. This application does not limit the number of the first grounding terminals 211 and the second grounding terminals 221. In this embodiment, at least two are used as an example for description. It should be noted that, respectively, Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, each first grounding terminal 211 is divided into a first section 2111 and a second section 2112 from front to back, and each second grounding terminal 221 is divided into a first section 2211 and a second section 2212 from front to back.

[0060] The shielding member 3 is a metal component and includes at least one pair of first conductive pins 31, at least one pair of second conductive pins 32, and a shielding sheet 34. This application does not limit the number of pairs of first and second conductive pins 31, 32; in this embodiment, at least two pairs are used. The shielding sheet 34 is disposed within the insulating body 1 and positioned between the first and second terminal blocks 21, 22. Each pair of first conductive pins 31 and each pair of second conductive pins 32 extend from the shielding sheet 34. Specifically, the shielding sheet 34 has, for example, a first side 341 and a second side 342 that are opposite to each other front and back. The two first conductive pins 31 in a pair are connected to the first side 341 and the second side 342, respectively. The two second conductive pins 32 in a pair are connected to the first side 341 and the second side 342, respectively. Moreover, the extended end portion of each first conductive pin 31 is bent toward the direction of each first grounding terminal 211 (for example, it can be bent upward relative to the shielding sheet 34) and has an elastic abutment function, and the extended end portion of each second conductive pin 32 is bent toward the direction of each second grounding terminal 221 (for example, it can be bent downward relative to the shielding sheet 34) and has an elastic abutment function. In this way, the two first conductive pins 31 in a pair will be as shown. Figure 7 As shown, the first section 2111 and the second section 2112 of the first ground terminal 211 are elastically abutted against each other and are electrically connected to each other. The two second conductive pins 32 are as shown. Figure 8 As shown, the first section 2211 and the second section 2212 elastically abut against the second ground terminal 221 and are electrically connected to each other. In other words, the shielding member 3 is able to form multiple contact points with the first and second ground terminals 211 and 221.

[0061] As for the metal shell 4, it surrounds the insulating body 1 on which the terminal assembly 2 and the shielding member 3 are already provided. Preferably, the shielding member 3 can also abut against the metal shell 4 and conduct electricity to each other. Specifically, the shielding sheet 34 also extends at least one third conductive pin 33. The shielding sheet 34 also has two side edges 343 opposite to each other. The third conductive pin 33 extends from the side edge 343 and is connected to the metal shell 4. Figure 2 and Figure 6 The portion shown protrudes from one side of the insulating body 1 to form a protrusion 331, and the third conductive pin 33 abuts the inner wall surface 41 of the metal shell 4 with the protrusion 331; it should be noted that the third conductive pin 33 of the shielding member 3 may not abut the metal shell 4. In other words, the shielding member 3 and the metal shell 4 may also be insulated from each other.

[0062] like Figure 4As shown, each first terminal of the first terminal row 21 forms a soldering portion W21 on the rear end face of the insulating body 1, and each second terminal of the second terminal row 22 forms a soldering portion W22 on the rear end face of the insulating body 1. The shielding member 3 extends at least one plug-in portion P3 at the rear end face corresponding to the insulating body 1. As for the metal shell 4, it also extends at least one plug-in portion P4 at the rear end face corresponding to the insulating body 1. The electrical connector of the present application can utilize these soldering portions W21, W22 and these plug-in portions P3, P4 for conductive connection. It should be noted that the method for soldering all the first terminals of the first terminal row 21 and all the second terminals of the second terminal row 22 to the circuit board (not shown) is not limited in this application. In other words, their soldering portions W21, W22 can be flat pins that have been bent as shown in the figure (used in surface mounting technology (SMT)) or straight pins that have not been bent (not shown).

[0063] By this, Figures 6 to 8 As shown, since the two paired first conductive pins 31 of the shielding member 3 have already abutted the first section 2111 and the second section 2112 of each first ground terminal 211 using a multi-contact method, and the two paired second conductive pins 32 of the shielding member 3 have already abutted the first section 2211 and the second section 2212 of each second ground terminal 221 using a multi-contact method, respectively, to conduct the load through the shielding sheet 34, the shielding sheet 34 is used to enhance the grounding effect. If the shielding member 3 further abuts the metal housing 4 via the second conductive pins 32, the load can be conducted through the shielding sheet 34 and the metal housing 4, thereby further enhancing the grounding effect.

[0064] It should be noted that if Figure 1 、 Figure 2 As shown, the insulating body 1 also has a tongue plate 135 extending forward, and each first terminal of the first terminal row 21 (including the first grounding terminal 211) is as shown in FIG. Figure 7 As shown, a third section (not labeled) is also distinguished. The third section is flat against one side of the tongue plate 135 and is located at an intermediate height. The first section 2111 and the second section 2112 are bent together and are located at a high position height to facilitate the shielding member 3 to set each pair of first conductive pins 31; each second terminal of the second terminal row 22 (including the second grounding terminal 221) is as shown. Figure 8 The figure also shows a third section (not marked with an element symbol), which is flat on the other side of the tongue plate 135 and is also located at an intermediate height. The first section 2211 and the second section 2212 are bent together and are located at a low height to facilitate the setting of each pair of second conductive pins 32 on the shielding component 3.

[0065] In addition, the insulating body 1 can be a single-piece structure (not shown in the figure) or a multi-piece structure as shown in the figure. Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the multi-piece insulating body 1 includes a first block 11, a second block 12 and a base 13, which will be described below.

[0066] The base 13 is provided with a first combination portion 131 and a second combination portion 132. The base 13 has the aforementioned tongue plate 135. Specifically, the first combination portion 131 and the second combination portion 132 are both provided as recessed grooves, but the present application is not limited to this. The first terminal row 21 is provided on the first block 11, and the second terminal row 22 is provided on the second block 12.

[0067] The shielding member 3 is disposed on the base 13 . The first block 11 provided with the first terminal row 21 is correspondingly embedded in the first assembly portion 131 of the base 13 . The second block 12 provided with the second terminal row 22 is correspondingly embedded in the second assembly portion 132 of the base 13 .

[0068] In summary, the electrical connector with grounding enhancement function of the present application can indeed achieve the intended purpose and effect, and can solve the shortcomings of the prior art, so a patent application is filed.

[0069] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present application and does not limit the patent scope of the present application. All equivalent structural changes made by using the description and drawings of the present application are also included in the scope of the rights of the present application and are hereby stated.
