[0035] This application discloses a female connector with a built-in resilient grounding element, designed for use in connector assembly C, and suitable for signal or power transmission in electronic devices. Since this female connector 1 is a crucial component of connector assembly C, its structure and function are explained first through a description of the basic architecture of connector assembly C. Please refer to... Figures 1A to 1C As shown, the connector group C includes at least a female connector 1 and a male connector 2. The female connector 1 can be connected to one transmission carrier, and the male connector 2 can be connected to another transmission carrier. When the female connector 1 and the male connector 2 are plugged into each other, power and / or signal transmission between the two transmission carriers can be realized. Furthermore, depending on product requirements, the two transmission carriers can be of the same or different types, and can be circuit boards or transmission lines, etc.

[0036] The structure and features of the female connector 1 will be described in detail below. To facilitate the explanation of component features and relative positional relationships, the spatial form of the component will be defined according to three mutually orthogonal axes in the following description. These three axes are the horizontal axis (X-axis), the vertical axis (Y-axis), and the vertical axis (Z-axis). Specifically, the horizontal axis (X-axis) refers to the left-right extension direction. Figure 1A The lower left corner is used as the left side of the component. Figure 1A The upper right of the axis is defined as the right side of the component; the vertical axis (Y-axis) refers to the front-to-back extension direction, where... Figure 1A The upper left corner serves as the front direction of the component. Figure 1A The lower right side is considered the rear direction of the component; the vertical axis (Z-axis) refers to the vertical extension direction. Figure 1A The area above is considered the top (top) side of the component. Figure 1A The area below is used as the bottom (bottom) side direction of the component.

[0037] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 2 to 4A As shown, the female connector 1 includes a female insulating body 11, two terminal groups 13, two flexible grounding members 15, and a female housing 17. The female housing 17 has a mounting space 170, and the female insulating body 11 can be assembled into the female housing 17 and located within the mounting space 170 to improve electromagnetic interference (EMI) protection and enhance the protection of the female insulating body 11. Furthermore, the female insulating body 11 has a receiving space 110 that connects the top and bottom sides of the female insulating body 11. The area near the top side of the female insulating body 11 (e.g., the front and rear sides) has multiple through holes 112 that connect to the receiving space 110. However, depending on product requirements, in other embodiments of this application, the female insulating body 11 may not have through holes 112; or the receiving space 110 may only connect to the top side of the female insulating body 11, etc.

[0038] Additionally, please see Figures 1A to 3 As shown, the terminal group 13 includes a plurality of female transmission terminals 131 and a plurality of female grounding terminals 133. The female transmission terminal 131 is configured to transmit signals or power, and its top end can be electrically connected to the male transmission terminal 23 of the male connector 2. Its bottom end is bent to provide a transmission fixing section so that it can be fixed to the circuit board using surface-mount technology (SMT) (but not limited thereto). The female grounding terminal 133 is configured to implement grounding function. Its top end can be electrically connected to the male grounding terminal 24 of the male connector 2. Its bottom end is bent to provide a grounding soldering section so that it can be fixed to the circuit board using surface-mount technology (but not limited thereto). In this embodiment, the length of the grounding soldering section is greater than the length of the transmission fixing section. Furthermore, each of the terminal groups 13 can be assembled into the female insulating body 11 and is located in the receiving space 110, and each of the terminal groups 13 is spaced apart from each other to form a mating space 130 between them. Therefore, the mating space 130 coincides with the receiving space 110. When the female connector 1 and the male connector 2 are plugged in (e.g. Figure 1CAs shown, the mating portion 22 of the male connector 2 can extend into the mating space 130 and press against each of the female transmission terminals 131 and female ground terminals 133, allowing the top portion of each female transmission terminal 131 and female ground terminal 133 to extend into the corresponding through hole 112. In other words, the through hole 112 provides space for the top portion of the female transmission terminal 131 or female ground terminal 133 to move, but is not limited thereto.

[0039] Following on, please refer to Figures 4A to 4C As shown, in this embodiment, the terminal group 13 further includes a terminal base 135, and the plurality of female transmission terminals 131 and female grounding terminals 133 can be fixed to the terminal base 135, so that during the production process, the plurality of female transmission terminals 131 and female grounding terminals 133 can be moved simultaneously, and the plurality of female transmission terminals 131 and female grounding terminals 133 can maintain a predetermined distance from each other. However, in other embodiments of this application, depending on the product requirements, the terminal group 13 may omit the terminal base 135, or two terminal groups 13 may share the same terminal base 135. It is particularly worth mentioning that the terminal base 135 can be made of insulating material and is manufactured using an injection molding process, directly or indirectly covering a portion of the plurality of female transmission terminals 131 and female grounding terminals 133. Due to the design characteristics of the injection molding process, Figure 4C The space for accommodating the female transmission terminal 131 and the female grounding terminal 133 is not specifically shown. However, those skilled in the art will understand that the structure and arrangement of the terminal block 135, the female transmission terminal 131, and the female grounding terminal 133 are based on the technical characteristics of injection molding.

[0040] Furthermore, in order to effectively control the position and distance between each of the terminal groups 13, in this embodiment, please refer to reference 2 to 3. Figure 4C As shown, the female connector 1 also includes a relay extension seat 137, which has multiple relay assembly portions 1371 (e.g., wedge-shaped grooves). The terminal block 135 has at least one first assembly portion 1351 (e.g., wedge-shaped protrusion). The first assembly portion 1351 can be assembled and positioned to the corresponding relay assembly portion 1371, so that each terminal block 135 is combined with the relay extension seat 137, and the relay assembly portion 1371 is located between two terminal blocks 135. Thus, by changing the thickness of the relay extension seat 137, the distance between each terminal group 13 can be effectively adjusted. However, depending on actual needs, in some embodiments, the relay extension seat 137 can be omitted, and the two terminal blocks 135 can be combined with each other. In the aforementioned case, the configurations of the first assembly portions 1351 of the two terminal blocks 135 will match each other, and they can be assembled into one unit.

[0041] Furthermore, please refer to [the relevant documents / references]. Figures 2 to 4C As shown, in this embodiment, the resilient grounding member 15 includes a main body 151 and a plurality of resilient arms 153, wherein each resilient arm 153 is integrally formed on the top side of the main body 151, but this is not a limitation. In other embodiments of this application, the resilient grounding member 15 may have a single resilient arm 153; or, the resilient arm 153 may be an independent component and assembled onto the main body 151. Furthermore, in this embodiment, each resilient grounding member 15 may be assembled onto a terminal block 135 and located between two terminal groups 13, but this is not a limitation. In some embodiments, only a single resilient grounding member 15 may be provided, and the resilient grounding member 15 may be assembled onto one of the terminal blocks 135. Furthermore, the resilient arm 153 of the resilient grounding member 15 may extend upward into the mating space 130, and the top horizontal height H1 of the resilient arm 153 is lower than the top horizontal height H2 of any female transmission terminal 131 or female grounding terminal 133. However, in some embodiments, the resilient grounding member 15 can be assembled onto the female end insulating body 11 or the relay assembly 1371, and is not limited to the terminal block 135, to improve production flexibility.

[0042] Furthermore, to enhance the grounding capability of the resilient grounding member 15, a portion thereof (e.g., the main body 151 or the resilient arm 153) can directly contact the female grounding terminal 133. In this embodiment, please refer again to... Figures 2 to 4C As shown, the female grounding terminal 133 has an upper protrusion 1331 and a lower protrusion 1333 near its bottom; the terminal block 135 can have an upper recess 1352 and a lower recess 1354 in the area corresponding to the female grounding terminal 133. When the female grounding terminal 133 is attached to the terminal block 135, all or part of the upper protrusion 1331 can be exposed to the upper recess 1352, and all or part of the lower protrusion 1333 can be exposed to the lower recess 1354. Furthermore, the main body 151 can have an upper bending area 1511 and a lower bending area 1513 at the position corresponding to the female grounding terminal 133, and the upper bending area 1511 can extend into the upper recess 1352 and directly contact the upper protrusion 1331, and the lower bending area 1513 can extend into the lower recess 1354 and directly contact the lower protrusion 1333 (e.g., ...). Figure 5As shown), the elastic grounding member 15 is electrically connected to the female grounding terminal 133. However, in other embodiments of this application, according to product design requirements, the female grounding terminal 133 may have only a single protrusion (e.g., upper protrusion 1331 or lower protrusion 1333). Therefore, the terminal block 135 may have a single recess (e.g., upper recess 1352 or lower recess 1354) in the area corresponding to the female grounding terminal 133, and the main body 151 may have a single bending area (e.g., upper bending area 1511 or lower bending area 1513) in the position corresponding to the female grounding terminal 133.

[0043] Please refer to the above. Figures 2 to 4C As shown, in this embodiment, a clearance space 1515 can be provided between the corresponding upper bending area 1511 and lower bending area 1513. The clearance space 1515 is used to accommodate the area between the corresponding upper recess 1352 and lower recess 1354 of the terminal block 135, so that the main body 151 can hold the terminal block 135 and the elastic grounding member 15 can be stably assembled onto the terminal block 135. At the same time, in this embodiment, the main body 151 without the clearance space 1515 can correspond to the female transmission terminal 131 (that is, the aforementioned main body 151 can at least project onto a part of the female transmission terminal 131). Furthermore, in some embodiments, the resilient grounding member 15 may also be provided with at least one clearance space 1517, which corresponds to the position of the first assembly part 1351, allowing the first assembly part 1351 to smoothly connect with the corresponding relay assembly part 1371 without being obstructed by the main body part 151, but this is not a limitation. With adjustments to the shape and position of the resilient grounding member 15, for example, by designing a narrower or more curved main body part 151, the clearance space 1517 or the avoidance space 1515 may not be required. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 4D As shown, the thickness of the female grounding terminal 133 varies along the vertical direction. The thickness is thinner near the top, gradually thickens in the middle section, and thins again near the upper protrusion 1331. This thinning point can serve as a fulcrum (e.g., Figure 4D The upper half of the female grounding terminal 133 can swing around this pivot point (the dotted circle at the pivot point). In other words, the middle section of the female grounding terminal 133 has a relatively narrow and thin structure, providing it with elasticity and flexibility. When viewed from the side, the female grounding terminal 133 can substantially completely cover the female transmission terminal 131, thereby effectively improving electromagnetic shielding performance, reducing the negative impact of external electromagnetic interference (EMI) on the transmitted signal, and maintaining stable transmission performance.

[0044] Furthermore, in another embodiment of this application, the female grounding terminal and the resilient grounding element can have different connection methods. See also... Figures 4E to 4G As shown, the following description only pertains to structures different from the aforementioned embodiments. In this other embodiment, the elastic grounding member 15' has an upper positioning hole 150 and a lower positioning hole 152, and the upper protrusion 1331' of the female grounding terminal 133' can extend into and be installed in the upper positioning hole 150, and the lower protrusion 1333' can extend into and be installed in the lower positioning hole 152, so that the elastic grounding member 15' and the female grounding terminal 133' form a stable grounding path. However, depending on product requirements, the elastic grounding member 15' may have only a single positioning hole (e.g., upper positioning hole 150 or lower positioning hole 152), and the position of the positioning hole may be located in the main body 151 (but is not limited thereto). Furthermore, the aforementioned elastic grounding member 15' and female grounding terminal 133' may also have the same characteristics as in the original embodiment (e.g., Figures 4A to 4D Similar or identical structural designs.

[0045] Additionally, please see Figure 1A and Figure 6 As shown, the male connector 2 includes a male body 21, a mating portion 22, a plurality of male transmission terminals 23, and a plurality of male grounding terminals 24. The male body 21 has an assembly space 210 for accommodating the mating portion 22, the male transmission terminals 23, and the male grounding terminals 24, and allows a plurality of transmission lines to extend into and electrically connect to the male transmission terminals 23 and the male grounding terminals 24. Depending on product requirements, the male body 21 can be composed of multiple components, and each component can be made of insulating material or metal, but is not limited thereto. In some embodiments, the male body 21 can also be integrally formed from insulating material into a single component.

[0046] Please refer to the above. Figure 1A and Figure 6 As shown, the mating part 22 is mainly plate-shaped and can be assembled into the male terminal body 21. Each of the male terminal transmission terminals 23 and male terminal grounding terminals 24 is respectively arranged on its front and rear sides. When the mating part 22 extends into the mating space 130 of the female connector 1, the male terminal transmission terminal 23 can contact the corresponding female terminal transmission terminal 131, and the male terminal grounding terminal 24 can contact the corresponding female terminal grounding terminal 133, enabling the male connector 2 and the female connector 1 to transmit power and / or signals. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the bottom end of each of the male terminal grounding terminals 24 is provided with a bent portion 241, which can be bent and extended to the bottom end of the mating part 22 (e.g., ...). Figure 1A (As shown), but not limited thereto, in some embodiments, only one or more male grounding terminals 24 may have a bent portion 241, and it is not limited to all male grounding terminals 24 having a bent portion 241. Please refer to Figure 7As shown, when the male connector 2 is connected to the female connector 1, the mating portion 22 extends into the mating space 130 of the female connector 1 until it is blocked by the elastic grounding member 15. Simultaneously, the elastic arm 153 of the elastic grounding member 15 abuts against the bent portion 241 of the corresponding male grounding terminal 24. Since the elastic arm 153 is located within the mating space 130, there is no need to increase the volume of the female connector 1, which is beneficial for the design concept of thinner and lower profile connectors. Furthermore, the elastic arm 153 can directly contact the male grounding terminal 24, thus forming a stable grounding connection path to improve the grounding capability of the connector assembly C and reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI). In addition, the elastic structure of the elastic arm 153 ensures stable contact with the corresponding male grounding terminal 24 during the mating process, maintaining good contact performance even if the connector assembly C is affected by vibration or external forces.

[0047] The above description is merely a preferred and feasible embodiment of this application and does not limit the scope of protection of the claims of this application. Therefore, any equivalent changes that can be conceived by those skilled in the art based on the technical content disclosed in this application without creative effort should be included within the scope of protection of the claims of this application.
