Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of electronic devices, and more particularly, to a connector assembly and a board-end connector thereof. Background Art

[0002] The line-end connector and the board-end connector can respectively connect conductive wires and circuit boards. In specific implementations, the line-end connector can be docked with the board-end connector to form a connector assembly to transmit signals. In recent years, connector assemblies have been widely used in various electronic devices.

[0003] However, with the trend toward thinner, lighter, and smaller electronic devices, the internal space of these devices has been significantly reduced, forcing both cable and board connectors to shrink in size. This can easily cause the cable connector to detach from the mating board connector, causing the cable and board connectors to lose their original signal transmission capabilities.

[0004] In addition, both the line-end connector and the board-end connector have power terminals and signal terminals. When the line-end connector is docked with the board-end connector, if the signal terminal of the line-end connector docks with the signal terminal of the board-end connector earlier than the power terminal of the line-end connector docks with the power terminal of the board-end connector, the power terminal of the line-end connector and the power terminal of the board-end connector may easily generate an electrical short circuit or electrical sparks at the moment of docking. This may not only affect the signal transmission of the connector assembly, but may even cause damage to the circuit board of the electronic device and prevent it from operating normally.

[0005] Based on the above, how to solve the various problems such as the cable end connector being easily detached from the mating board end connector and the electrical short circuit or electrical spark easily generated when the cable end connector and the board end connector are mated is indeed an urgent issue for people in the relevant technical field.

[0123] At this point, the board-end metal shell body 1220 and the first board-end metal shell side wings 1221 can form a first board-end metal shell clamping structure G1, while the board-end metal shell body 1220 and the second board-end metal shell side wings 1222 can form a second board-end metal shell clamping structure G2. In this way, the first board-end metal shell clamping structure G1 and the second board-end metal shell clamping structure G2 can respectively clamp the first board-end rubber core side wall 1201 and the second board-end rubber core side wall 1202 to prevent the board-end metal shell 122 from separating from the board-end insulating rubber core 120.

[0124] At Figures 12 to 13 and Figures 25 to 28 In the embodiment shown, the first plate end metal shell clamping structure G1 and the second plate end metal shell clamping structure G2 have U-shaped cross-sections, so that the structural strength of the first plate end metal shell clamping structure G1 and the second plate end metal shell clamping structure G2 meets expectations.

[0125] At Figures 12 to 15 and Figures 24 to 28 In the illustrated embodiment, the board end metal shell 122 has a board end metal shell joint structure 1223. The board end metal shell joint structure 1223 is, for example, a snap-fit ​​structure that can be provided to join the board end insulating rubber core 120. This can also prevent the board end metal shell 122 from being separated from the board end insulating rubber core 120.

[0126] In addition, Figures 25 to 27In the illustrated embodiment, the first panel end rubber core side wall bending guide structure 12011 and the second panel end rubber core side wall bending guide structure 12021 can extend to intersect substantially perpendicularly, ensuring that the structural strength of the first panel end rubber core side wall bending guide structure 12011 and the second panel end rubber core side wall bending guide structure 12021 meet expectations. However, without being limited to the foregoing, the first panel end rubber core side wall bending guide structure 12011 and the second panel end rubber core side wall bending guide structure 12021 can also be selected to not intersect substantially perpendicularly.

[0127] It should be noted that the first board end rubber core side wall 1201 and the second board end rubber core side wall 1202 can respectively provide support for the first board end metal shell side wing 1221 and the second board end metal shell side wing 1222. In this way, the first board end metal shell side wing 1221 and the second board end metal shell side wing 1222 can respectively provide guidance for the docking of the line end connector 11 in the docking direction D, so that the line end connector 11 enters the board end rubber core docking area A1 through the board end rubber core docking channel P and docks with the board end conductive terminal group 121.

[0128] The first board end metal shell side wing 1221 and the second board end metal shell side wing 1222 enter the board end rubber core docking area A1 along the docking direction D, so that the first board end metal shell side wing 1221 and the second board end metal shell side wing 1222 can be prevented from interfering with the docking of the wire end connector 11 in the docking direction D.

[0129] In addition, the first board-end metal shell side wing snap-fitting and positioning structure 12211 and the second board-end metal shell side wing snap-fitting and positioning structure 12221 can snap-fit ​​the first wire-end metal shell side wing snap-fitting and positioning structure 1121 and the second wire-end metal shell side wing snap-fitting and positioning structure 1122 on the first board-end connector side S1 and the second board-end connector side S2, respectively, to provide snap-fitting and positioning for the wire-end connector 11 in the board-end rubber core docking area A1. Since the first board-end connector side S1 and the second board-end connector side S2 are substantially different, the board-end connector 12 can snap-fit ​​and position the wire-end connector 11 on substantially different sides, thereby preventing the wire-end connector 11 from detaching from the docked board-end connector 12, thereby solving the technical problem of the wire-end connector 11 easily detaching from the docked board-end connector 12, maintaining the docking relationship between the wire-end connector 11 and the board-end connector 12, and ensuring that the signal transmission function of the connector assembly 1 meets expectations, and can be widely used in various electronic devices.

[0130] The first board-side metal shell side wing snap-fitting and positioning structure 12211 and the first wire-side metal shell side wing snap-fitting and positioning structure 1121 are structurally matched concave-convex structures, while the second board-side metal shell side wing snap-fitting and positioning structure 12221 and the second wire-side metal shell side wing snap-fitting and positioning structure 1122 are structurally matched concave-convex structures. In this way, the size of the connector assembly 1 can be reduced, and the electronic devices using the connector assembly 1 can continue to develop in the direction of being light, thin and short.
