[0044] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all the other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art without creative work fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0045] The following disclosure provides many different embodiments, or examples, for implementing different structures of the present application. For the purpose of simplification, the components and arrangements of the specific examples are described in the following. Of course, they are only examples and the purpose is not to limit the present application. In addition, the present application can repeatedly refer to the numbers and / or letters in different examples. Such repetition is for the purpose of simplification and clarity, and it does not indicate the relationship between the various embodiments and / or arrangements discussed.

[0046] For ease of description, spatial relative terms can be used herein to describe the positional relationship or movement of one element or feature relative to another element or feature as shown in the drawings, such as "inner", "outer", "inboard", "outboard", "under", "below", "over", "above", "front", "back", etc. Such spatial relative terms are intended to include different orientations of the device in use or operation in addition to the orientation depicted in the drawings. For example, if the device in the drawings is turned over or reversed, or the orientation of the device is changed, the indicative directions will also change accordingly, for example: the element described as "under" or "below" other elements or features will be subsequently oriented as "above" or "above" other elements or features. Therefore, the example term "below" can include both up and down positions. The device can be additionally oriented (rotated 90 degrees or in other directions) and the spatial relative relationship descriptors used herein are interpreted accordingly.

[0047] In some example embodiments, as Figures 1-4 shown, a connector 1 is applied to electronic devices to realize transmission between electronic devices. The electronic devices are, for example, mobile phones, tablets, laptops, etc., and the electronic devices also have circuit boards 2 arranged therein as core components for signal processing and transmission. The effective connection of the connector 1 and the circuit board 2 ensures stable transmission of signals between electronic devices.

[0048] The connector 1 includes a terminal assembly 11 and an insulating structure 12, which cooperate with each other to form the main structure of the connector 1 and realize its functional requirements. Among them, the terminal assembly 11 can be two, for example, two terminal assemblies 11 are symmetrically arranged along the thickness direction of the connector 1 to meet the transmission and communication requirements of the connector 1. The two terminal assemblies 11 face each other to form a symmetrical layout, which not only helps to maintain balanced transmission of signals, but also helps to reduce mutual interference between signals. And the two terminal assemblies 11 are arranged at intervals to ensure the independence of each terminal assembly 11 in physical space, thereby further reducing crosstalk between signals.

[0049] The terminal assembly 11 is electrically connected with the circuit board 2 to ensure effective transmission of signals. Among them, welding or other connection methods can be used to realize the electrical connection between the terminal assembly 11 and the circuit board 2 to realize the stability between the terminal assembly 11 and the circuit board 2. The terminal assembly 11 includes a first terminal group 111 and a second terminal group 112, the first terminal group 111 is used to process high-speed and high-frequency signal transmission, and the second terminal group 112 is used to process low-speed and low-frequency signal transmission, which meets the high requirements of modern electronic devices on data transmission rate and stability.

[0050] The insulation structure 12 plays a protective and supporting role in the connector 1, not only providing a stable installation environment for the terminal assembly 11, but also ensuring the safety of the connector 1 during use. The insulation structure 12 is provided with an avoidance channel 1211 corresponding to the first terminal group 111 to expose part of the area of the first terminal group 111. The partial opening directly exposes part of the area of the first terminal group 111 to the air, and since air is a relatively good electromagnetic wave propagation medium, this design helps to reduce fluctuations in high-frequency signals during transmission, i.e. the transmission of the first terminal group 111 in the air is less fluctuant, thereby improving the stability and transmission quality of the signal and reducing interference with adjacent high-speed terminals. When high-frequency signals encounter other conductors during transmission, electromagnetic coupling and interference are likely to occur. The partial opening design reduces the opportunity for such contact, thereby reducing the likelihood of interference.

[0051] The first terminal group 111 and the avoidance channel 1211 of the present embodiment not only improve the transmission efficiency and quality of high-frequency signals, but also effectively reduce mutual interference between signals, which is of great significance to improving the overall performance and reliability of the connector 1.

[0052] In some example embodiments, as shown in Figures 2-5 The first terminal group 111 includes a first terminal 1111 and a second terminal 1112, which are arranged in a first direction of the connector (refer to the X-axis shown in Figure 1

[0053] The first terminal 1111 and the second terminal 1112 can both be designated as a transmitting signal channel, responsible for transmitting high-frequency signals from one end of the connector 1. Of course, it can be understood that the above-mentioned first terminal 1111 and second terminal 1112 can also be designated as a receiving signal channel, responsible for receiving high-frequency signals from the outside, depending on the actual situation. The clear division of labor between the first terminal 1111 and the second terminal 1112 not only improves the efficiency of signal transmission, but also helps to simplify the signal processing process.

[0054] In the present embodiment, as shown in Figures 2-5 The avoidance channel 1211 includes a first through-hole 12111 corresponding to the second terminal 1112 to expose part of the area of the second terminal 1112.

[0055] The path length of the first terminal 1111 is less than the path length of the second terminal 1112, and the first terminal 1111 and the second terminal 1112 match different required differential impedances, which helps to maintain the stability and consistency of the signal during signal transmission, improves the flexibility of the first terminal group 111, and reduces mutual interference between signals.​

[0056] The first via hole 12111 in the insulating structure 12 is determined in terms of position and size. In order to ensure stable transmission of high-frequency signals, the first via hole 12111 is positioned on the corresponding long terminal, i.e., the second terminal 1112 is arranged in correspondence with the first via hole 12111. The size of the first via hole 12111 is designed by taking into account multiple factors, including not affecting the electrical performance of adjacent sub-terminals, meeting the requirements of the back-end process, and ensuring stable transmission of high-frequency signals.

[0057] According to the circuit design requirements and the transmission characteristics of high-frequency signals, the first via hole 12111 is designed to have a relatively short path length, so as to ensure that the signals can pass through quickly and stably, while reducing signal loss and interference. The path length of the first via hole 12111 is, for example, shorter than that of the second terminal 1112, which not only ensures good connectivity and mechanical strength, but also maintains the continuity and stability of the signals.

[0058] Under the premise of ensuring that the signal quality is not affected, the path length of the first via hole 12111 is minimized through accurate calculation and optimized design, which not only further reduces the loss in signal transmission, but also effectively improves the structural strength of the insulating structure 12, preventing the problem of structural weakness or failure caused by excessively large openings. In addition, the insulating structure 12 is made of plastic material, and the dielectric value of plastic is about 3 times higher than that of air, which will have a certain impact on the transmission of high-frequency signals. In order to reduce this impact, the above opening design is further optimized, which can effectively reduce the interference of plastic on high-frequency signals.

[0059] The connector in the embodiment effectively improves the transmission efficiency of high-frequency signals and reduces signal interference by optimizing the path length of the terminal assembly 11 and the opening design of the insulating structure 12, achieving efficient and stable signal transmission.

[0060] In the embodiment, as shown in Figures 2-5 The second terminal 1112 includes an extension segment 11121, an inclined segment 11122, a straight segment 11123, and a welding segment 11124 connected in sequence, forming a terminal structure that meets both the electrical connection requirements and the physical space limitations.

[0061] The extension segment 11121 extends along the second direction of the connector (refer to the Y-axis shown in Figure 1 The extension segment 11121 is aligned and connected with the corresponding contacts on other connectors, ensuring smooth transmission of signals or currents.

[0062] The inclined section 11122 is inclined relative to the extension section 11121 and the straight section 11123, which not only helps to achieve a smooth transition of the second terminal 1112 in a limited space, but also provides a certain degree of elasticity, enhancing the stability and durability of the second terminal 1112 under stress.

[0063] The straight section 11123 extends along the first direction of the connector, which helps to ensure that the second terminal 1112 remains in a straight line inside the connector, facilitating precise mating with other components.

[0064] Solder section 11124 is along the thickness direction of the connector (refer to...) Figure 1 The Z-axis extension (as shown) allows the soldering segment 11124 to be directly exposed to the exterior of the connector 1 or a specific soldering area, facilitating a stable electrical connection with the circuit board 2 via soldering or other methods. Furthermore, the extension of the soldering segment 11124 along the thickness direction of the connector increases the contact area with the circuit board 2, enhancing the stability of the connection. The first direction, the second direction, and the thickness direction of the connector are all perpendicular to each other.

[0065] Parts of the inclined section 11122, the extended section 11121, and the straight section 11123 are covered by the first through hole 12111. For example, the insulating structure 12 can provide additional fixation or support to prevent displacement of the terminal assembly 11 during use; or the position and size of the first through hole 12111 can be adjusted to optimize the electrical performance of the terminal assembly 11, such as reducing electromagnetic interference. Simultaneously, this coverage may also provide necessary space or passage for wiring or other components inside the connector 1.

[0066] In this embodiment, the second terminal 1112 utilizes both horizontal and vertical space to alter its overall structural layout, optimizing the overall size of the connector 1 and facilitating miniaturization. It is understood that the extension method of the first terminal 1111 is the same as that of the second terminal 1112, and the structural layout logic is consistent. The difference lies in the fact that, since the ends of the first terminal 1111 and the second terminal 1112 are flush, the path length of the second terminal 1112 located on the outer side is greater than the path length of the first terminal 1111. The length of each bending node is determined based on actual conditions.

[0067] In this embodiment, as Figures 2-5As shown, the first terminal group 111 further includes a third terminal 1113 and a fourth terminal 1114 arranged at intervals, the first terminal 1111, the second terminal 1112, the third terminal 1113 and the fourth terminal 1114 are sequentially arranged, and the path lengths are sequentially increased, and the extension mode of the third terminal 1113 and the fourth terminal 1114 is the same as that of the second terminal 1112.

[0068] It should be noted that the signal functions of the third terminal 1113 and the fourth terminal 1114 can be designed with reference to the first terminal 1111 and the second terminal 1112, for example, if the first terminal 1111 and the second terminal 1112 are both designated as a sending signal channel, the third terminal 1113 and the fourth terminal 1114 are both designated as a receiving signal channel, and if the first terminal 1111 and the second terminal 1112 are both designated as a receiving signal channel, the third terminal 1113 and the fourth terminal 1114 are both designated as a sending signal channel. The clear division of labor not only improves the efficiency of signal transmission, but also helps to simplify the process of signal processing.

[0069] Among them, the avoidance channel 1211 includes a second through hole 12112, and the second through hole 12112 is arranged corresponding to the fourth terminal 1114. The fourth terminal 1114 with a longer path is designed as an opening to ensure stable transmission of high-frequency signals.

[0070] In this embodiment, as shown in Figures 2-5 The second terminal group 112 includes a plurality of conductive terminals 1121 arranged at intervals to clearly distinguish signals and achieve efficient transmission. The conductive terminals 1121 are located in the same plane as the first terminal group 111, which helps to reduce interference during signal transmission and improve overall performance. The extension mode of the conductive terminals 1121 is the same as that of the second terminal 1112, and the structure layout is logically consistent, except that the path lengths are slightly different.

[0071] For example, the plurality of conductive terminals 1121 are, for example, signal terminals, power terminals, data signal transmission terminals, and the like, respectively. The signal terminals are used to process low-speed and low-frequency signal transmission. For example, the data signal transmission terminals are four, arranged in sequence on the middle, not only optimizing the signal transmission path, but also helping to reduce mutual interference between signals. One signal terminal and one power terminal are arranged on both sides of the data signal transmission terminals, and the first terminal 1111 and the second terminal 1112 are arranged between the signal terminal and the power terminal on one side, and the third terminal 1113 and the fourth terminal 1114 are arranged between the signal terminal and the power terminal on the other side. The first terminal 1111 and the second terminal 1112 and the third terminal 1113 and the fourth terminal 1114 are used to process high-speed and high-frequency signal transmission. The high-frequency signal can be effectively isolated from other types of signals, thereby ensuring signal transmission quality while also improving the performance of the entire terminal assembly 11. The signal terminal can be arranged at the edge or at the edge of the power terminal, according to actual needs.

[0072] The conductive terminals 1121, the first terminal 1111, the second terminal 1112, the third terminal 1113, and the fourth terminal 1114 are arranged as described above. The layout of the terminal assembly 11 is arranged from one side to the other side, with the length of the terminals increasing in sequence, so that the terminal assembly 11 matches different requirements for differential impedance and meets different needs, achieving signal demand diversification.

[0073] In some example embodiments, as shown in Figures 2-7 The connector 1 includes an insulating structure 12, and the terminal assembly 11 is stably connected to the circuit board 2, ensuring the compactness and reliability of the overall structure. The insulating structure 12 includes a first insulating portion 121 and a second insulating portion 122, which cooperate together to provide the necessary electrical isolation and protection for the connector 1. The second insulating portion 122 is connected to the two terminal assemblies 11, and the first insulating portion 121 covers at least part of the second insulating portion 122 and at least part of the terminal assembly 11, thereby forming a more complete and reliable insulating barrier.

[0074] The avoidance channel 1211 is formed in the first insulating portion 121, and the first insulating portion 121 is provided with a first limiting portion 1212. The first insulating portion 121 is connected to the circuit board 2 by the first limiting portion 1212. For example, the first limiting portion 1212 includes two limiting columns 12121, which are arranged along the first direction of the connector (refer to Figure 1As shown in the X-axis) of one side wall, the circuit board 2 is located at the side of the connector 1, and the circuit board 2 is provided with two limiting holes 21, so that the limiting column 12121 is inserted into the limiting hole 21 in correspondence, not only convenient to install, but also ensure the stability of the connection.

[0075] When the limiting column 12121 is completely inserted into the limiting hole 21, the connection between the first insulating part 121 and the circuit board 2 becomes stable and reliable, thereby effectively preventing the connection from loosening due to vibration or external impact.

[0076] In this embodiment, as Figures 2-7 shown, the second insulating part 122 includes a first sub-insulating body 1221 and a second sub-insulating body 1222, and such a split design not only facilitates manufacturing and assembly, but also improves the flexibility and adaptability of the structure.

[0077] The first sub-insulating body 1221 is connected with one of the terminal assemblies 11, and the second sub-insulating body 1222 is connected with the other terminal assembly 11, completing the insulating wrapping of the entire terminal assembly 11, not only ensuring the stable transmission of electrical signals, but also providing necessary electrical isolation.

[0078] The first sub-insulating body 1221 and the second sub-insulating body 1222 can be connected in position, and the first sub-insulating body 1221 is provided with a first limiting hook 12211, and the second sub-insulating body 1222 is provided with a second limiting hook 12221, and the first limiting hook 12211 is connected in position with the second limiting hook 12221 to realize accurate alignment and improve the reliability during connection and assembly.

[0079] It should be noted that the number of the above-mentioned first limiting hook 12211 can be one or multiple, and when multiple first limiting hooks 12211 are provided, they can be arranged along the circumferential side of the first sub-insulating body 1221 to ensure the uniformity and stability of the connection, and the second limiting hook 12221 is provided in the same number and in correspondence with the first limiting hook 12211. When the first sub-insulating body 1221 and the second sub-insulating body 1222 are combined together, the first limiting hook 12211 and the second limiting hook 12221 are hooked with each other to realize the limiting connection therebetween. Such a connection method is not only simple and reliable, but also easy to disassemble and maintain.

[0080] In addition, it should be noted that the first sub-insulating body 1221 and the second sub-insulating body 1222 are also provided with a plurality of supporting columns 1223, which are used to support the welding sections in the terminal assembly 11, such as the welding section 11124 of the second terminal 1112, to improve the stability and mechanical strength of the welding section.

[0081] In some exemplary embodiments, as Figures 2-7As shown, in order to further optimize the connector 1 and enhance its electromagnetic shielding performance, the connector 1 further comprises an intermediate shielding member 13 and an outer shielding member 14, thereby achieving electromagnetic interference protection.

[0082] The intermediate shielding member 13 is clamped between the first sub-insulator 1221 and the second sub-insulator 1222, ensuring that any electromagnetic interference on the signal transmission path can be effectively shielded, thereby protecting the integrity of the signal. The intermediate shielding member 13 not only serves to separate the two sub-insulators, but also forms a continuous shielding layer through its conductive properties, effectively preventing external electromagnetic field interference.

[0083] In order to further enhance the shielding effect, the outer shielding member 14 is sleeved on the outside of the first insulating part 121, and the outer shielding member 14 has a wide coverage range, providing an additional electromagnetic protection layer for the connector 1 and further reducing the influence of the external environment on the internal signal transmission of the connector 1.

[0084] The intermediate shielding member 13 has a lead-out section 131, so that a part of the structure of the intermediate shielding member 13 can penetrate the insulating structure 12 and be connected to the outside. In order to achieve electrical connection between the intermediate shielding member 13 and the outer shielding member 14 and thus achieve grounding, the intermediate shielding member 13 has a lead-out section 131, so that a part of the structure of the intermediate shielding member 13 can penetrate the insulating structure 12 and be connected to the outside. For example, the first insulating part 121 is provided with a through hole 1213, and the size and position of the through hole 1213 are matched with the lead-out section 131 to ensure that the lead-out section 131 can be tightly and stably placed therein.

[0085] When the lead-out section 131 penetrates the through hole 1213, it can be physically connected to the outer shielding member 14, such as by welding, crimping or other reliable electrical connection methods, to ensure that the shielding effectiveness of the intermediate shielding member 13 can be extended to the outer shielding member 14, thereby forming a continuous grounding path to guide accumulated static electricity or other electromagnetic interference to the ground, protecting the connector 1 and the electronic equipment connected thereto from damage.
