Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of connectors, in particular to a bridge circuit layer and a connector socket. Background Art

[0002] In the design of high-speed communication products, due to the constraints of product appearance and structure, it is usually necessary to perform a stacking design of multiple PCB boards. If ordinary connectors are used for the high-speed communication lines between these PCBs, the communication signals are easily affected by external interference, resulting in communication errors. If high-speed connectors are used, the communication distance between the boards on the market is short and the cost is very high.

[0003] Traditional connectors have low communication rates over long transmission distances, while high communication rates have too short transmission distances and are expensive:

[0004] Traditional long-distance connectors (20mm-100mm) have low communication rates due to poor impedance and shielding. High-speed connectors generally have a link distance of less than 20mm and are very expensive. Utility Model Content

[0027] A bridge circuit layer has a four-layer structural design, wherein the four circuit layers are respectively a first communication circuit layer, a first ground layer, a second ground layer, and a second communication circuit layer. Two pieces of the first communication circuit layer and the second communication circuit layer are respectively located on the outermost sides, and the first ground layer and the second ground layer are wrapped between the two pieces of the first communication circuit layer and the second communication circuit layer.

[0028] The four-layer circuit layer has a symmetrical structure. The four-layer circuit layer is completely symmetrical left and right, front and back, and the structure formed by the symmetry is exactly the same. The differential line impedance of the first communication circuit layer and the second communication circuit layer is designed to be 100Ω±10Ω, the crosstalk is ≤5%, and the differential line pairs are shielded by a ground plane. The circuit layer is made of a PCB board, which can better control the impedance and equal length.

[0029] Communication lines are provided in the first communication line layer and the second communication line layer. Several gold fingers are provided at the upper and lower ends of the first communication line layer and the second communication line layer. The gold fingers are used to plug into the connector socket. The gold fingers have the same function as the pins. A connecting wire is connected between the gold fingers at the upper and lower ends. The connecting wire is used to transmit signals. The gold fingers on the upper and lower parts are contacts that contact the connector socket spring after being inserted into the connector socket.

[0030] The gold finger contacts are processed with immersion gold technology to prevent oxidation of the contacts due to long-term exposure to air, which may lead to increased contact impedance.

[0031] The gold fingers at both ends are symmetrical structures, and the connecting wires are arranged between the corresponding gold fingers at the upper and lower ends. The connecting wires correspond one-to-one to the gold fingers at the upper and lower ends. A gold finger located on the upper side, a connecting wire and a gold finger located on the lower side form a complete signal transmission structure.

[0032] The gold fingers located at the left and right ends of the first communication circuit layer and the second communication circuit layer are positive power pins, and at least one positive power pin is arranged inwardly at both ends of the first communication circuit layer and the second communication circuit layer.

[0033] The several gold fingers located in the positive power pin of the first communication line layer and the second communication line layer are respectively ground pins, independent signal line pins and differential signal pins. The positions of the ground pins, independent signal line pins and differential signal pins are not limited, but they need to be located on the inner side of the positive power pins at the left and right ends.

[0034] The first communication line layer and the second communication line layer are divided into an odd-numbered pin structure and an even-numbered pin structure. Regardless of whether the first communication line layer and the second communication line layer are an odd-numbered pin structure or an even-numbered pin structure, the ground pins and the differential signal pins are both even numbers, and the number of independent signal line pins serves as an important basis for distinguishing whether the communication line layer is an odd-numbered pin structure or an even-numbered pin structure.

[0035] The first communication circuit layer and the second communication circuit layer are divided into an odd-number pin structure, and the number of the independent signal line pins is odd.

[0036] The first communication circuit layer and the second communication circuit layer are divided into an even-numbered pin structure, and the number of the independent signal line pins is an even number.

[0037] Example 1

[0038] like Figure 1-2 As shown, the pins of the communication line layer are an odd number of design structure examples. The communication line layer is designed with 23 pins. The number of gold fingers (pins) of the communication line layer is not limited. Here, only the 23-pin design is used as an example to explain the design structure of the odd-number pin connector.

[0039] The odd-number pin connector adopts a symmetrical design with pin 12 as the center of symmetry. Pins 1-11 and pins 13-23 are completely symmetrically designed to prevent the connector from being installed reversely during use.

[0040] The 1st and 2nd pins and the symmetrical 22nd and 23rd pins of the odd-numbered pin connector are designed to connect to the positive overcurrent of the power supply. Due to the overcurrent function, the connecting wire needs to be widened.

[0041] Pins 3, 5, 8, 11, 13, 16, 19, and 21 of the odd-numbered pin connector are ground pins, serving as loops for communication and power lines.

[0042] Pins 4, 12, and 20 of the odd-numbered pin connector are independent signal line pins and can be used to connect non-differential communication lines such as clock lines, I / O control lines, and I2C communication.

[0043] Pins 6, 7, 9, 10, 14, 15, 17, and 18 of the odd-numbered pin connector are differential signal pins for differential communication line connections.

[0044] The communication line layer on the back side of the connector adopts a completely symmetrical design.

[0045] Example 2

[0046] like Figure 2As shown, the pins of the communication line layer are an even-numbered design structure example. The communication line layer is designed with 22 pins. The number of gold fingers (pins) of the communication line layer is not limited. Here, only the 22-pin design is used as an example to explain the design structure of the even-numbered pin connector.

[0047] Even-number pin connectors adopt a symmetrical design, with pins 1-11 and 12-22 completely symmetrical, which can prevent the connector from being installed reversely during use.

[0048] The 1st and 2nd pins and the symmetrical 21st and 22nd pins of the even-numbered pin connector are designed to connect to the positive pole of the power supply for overcurrent. Due to the overcurrent function, the connecting wire needs to be widened.

[0049] Pins 3, 5, 8, 11, 12, 15, 18, and 20 of the even-numbered pin connector are ground pins, serving as loops for communication and power lines.

[0050] Pins 4 and 19 of the even-numbered pin connector are independent signal line pins and can be used to connect non-differential communication lines such as clock lines, I / O control lines, and I2C communication.

[0051] Pins 6, 7, 9, 10, 13, 14, 16, and 17 of the even-numbered pin connector are differential signal pins for differential communication line connections.

[0052] The reverse side of the connector is designed to be completely symmetrical.

[0053] The number and arrangement order of the circuits in the above-mentioned embodiment 1 and embodiment 2 can be changed. The design of the gold fingers at both ends is not limited, and the material and shape of the gold fingers can be changed.

[0054] Example 3

[0055] Combined with attachment Figure 3 A connector socket is used to plug into the communication line layer of embodiment one or embodiment two. The connector socket includes socket pins and socket shrapnel. The positions and quantities of the socket pins and socket shrapnel correspond to the gold fingers in the communication line layer.

[0056] The socket pins and springs are gold-plated to prevent oxidation from increasing contact resistance.

[0057] Example 4

[0058] A circuit layer connector includes a connector socket formed by combining any one of the above-mentioned embodiments 1 or 2 with the embodiment 3. Since the circuit layer connector is designed using a PCB board, the impedance and equal length can be well controlled. Therefore, the board connector formed by the above-mentioned technical solution can reach a communication frequency of 10GHz.

[0059] In other implementations, the gold fingers in Example 1 or Example 2 are not connected to the connector socket, but the gold fingers are directly used as soldering pins, which can achieve the same function as the connector socket.

[0060] In other embodiments, the number of circuit layers of the PCB forming the bridge circuit layer is not limited to 4 layers, and various layer combination designs such as 2 layers, 6 layers, and 8 layers should all fall within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0061] The above is a schematic description of the present invention and its embodiments, which is not restrictive. The drawings show only one embodiment of the present invention, and the actual structure is not limited thereto. Therefore, if a person skilled in the art is inspired by this and, without departing from the inventive purpose of the present invention, designs a structure and embodiment similar to the technical solution without inventiveness, they shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
