Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of metal connectors, in particular to a connector structure and a printed circuit board. Background Art

[0002] As electronic products become increasingly portable and miniaturized, metal jumpers play an indispensable role in product design and production. They are often cleverly used to achieve cross-area or cross-component routing requirements on printed circuit boards (PCBs), or to optimize heat dissipation and reduce losses by adding metal jumpers to handle high currents.

[0003] Currently, most jumper wire assembly is done by automatic insertion machines, with a few being done manually. While using automatic insertion machines can effectively improve assembly efficiency, they require a high degree of fit between the jumper wire and the PCB, making defective products more likely to occur during assembly, which also impacts assembly efficiency.

[0022] Example 1

[0023] This embodiment provides a connector structure suitable for a printed circuit board.

[0024] See also Figure 1 The connector structure includes a connector body 1 and an insulator 2 , and the insulator 2 wraps a portion of the surface of the connector body 1 .

[0025] See also Figure 1 and 2The connector body 1 comprises an avoiding section 11 and two connecting sections 12, which are arranged at two ends of the avoiding section 11. The avoiding section 11 is used to avoid the short circuit caused by the through hole on the printed circuit board, and the connecting sections 12 are used to connect the printed circuit board. In this embodiment, the connector body 1 is integrally formed by copper, iron or other metal, and the avoiding section 11 is in the shape of a gate or an arch bridge.

[0026] Review Figure 1 And 2 The insulator 2 wraps at least the surface of the avoiding section 11, and can wrap the surface of the connecting section 12 close to the avoiding section 11 without affecting the connection between the connecting section 12 and the printed circuit board. In addition, the top of the insulator 2 is a flat surface 21, which is convenient for the SMT patch to adsorb the flat surface 21 to move and assemble the whole connector structure. The bottom of the insulator 2 is not lower than the bottom of the connecting section 12, so as to avoid affecting the connection between the connecting section 12 and the printed circuit board. In this embodiment, the insulator 2 is formed by plastic encapsulation, which can fully wrap the surface of the avoiding section 11, has good insulation effect, and can pass the insulation test.

[0027] In summary, the connector structure is provided with an insulator, which fully wraps the surface of the avoiding section and has good insulation effect and can pass the insulation test. In addition, the top of the insulator is provided with a flat surface, which can be adsorbed to enable the connector structure to be automatically assembled by the SMT patch machine, and has higher assembly efficiency and higher qualification rate compared with the automatic plug-in assembly.
