Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to a connector housing; more particularly to a connector housing with a protruding structure, a connector assembly, and a transmission line suitable therefor. Background Technology
[0002] Transmission lines comprise cables and connector assemblies, with the connector assembly including connectors, circuit boards, connector housings, and plastic shells. These components can be integrated to enable electrical connections between devices, including those for audio / video signal transmission, data transmission, and power transmission. To prevent electromagnetic interference and radio frequency interference, transmission lines often use metal as a shielding layer, such as incorporating metal braids into the cables or using metal connector housings.
[0003] However, metal connector shells, due to their thinness, lack structural strength, causing the connector to fail to maintain structural stability after repeated mating and unmating. Furthermore, in the injection molding process that forms the plastic shell covering the connector, the injection-molded shell does not easily maintain its structure on the flat surface of the connector shell, resulting in deformation and dents, thus reducing the injection molding yield.
[0004] Therefore, how to solve the structural stability problem and improve the yield of injection molding of plastic shells will be a major focus of research in this field. Utility Model Content

[0051] Any reference to components referred to herein by names such as "first," "second," etc., does not generally limit the number or order of these components. Rather, these names are used herein as a convenient way to distinguish two or more components or instances of components. Therefore, it should be understood that the names "first," "second," etc., in the claims do not necessarily correspond to the same names in the written description. Furthermore, it should be understood that references to the first and second components do not imply that only two components can be used or that the first component must precede the second component. The terms "comprising," "including," "having," "containing," etc., as used herein are open-ended, meaning to include but not limited to. In this application, the words "exemplary" and "for example" are used to mean "serving as an example, instance, or illustration." Any implementation or aspect described herein as "exemplary" or "for example" is not necessarily to be construed as preferred or advantageous over other aspects of this application. The terms "about," "approximately," and "roughly" as used herein with respect to specified values or characteristics are intended to mean within a certain value (e.g., 10%) of the specified value or characteristic.
[0052] Furthermore, relative terms such as "below" or "under" and "above" or "over" may be used herein to describe the relationship between one component and another, as illustrated in the figures. It should be understood that relative terms are intended to include different orientations of the device beyond those shown in the figures. For example, if a device in one of the figures is flipped, a component described as being "below" to another component will be oriented "above" to that component. Thus, the exemplary term "below" can include both "below" and "above" orientations, depending on the specific orientation of the figure. Similarly, if a device in one of the figures is flipped, a component described as being "below" or "under" to another component will be oriented "above" to that component. Thus, the exemplary term "below" or "under" can include both "above" and "below" orientations.

The upper plate 108 and lower plate 109 are opposite to each other, and the first sidewall 111 and second sidewall 112 are opposite to each other. The upper plate 108, lower plate 109, first sidewall 111, and second sidewall 112 enclose a first opening 121, a cavity 120, and a second opening 122, respectively. The first opening 121 and second opening 122 communicate with the cavity 120. The first opening 121 of the connector housing 103 surrounds the cable 101. At least one of the upper plate 108 and lower plate 109 of the connector housing 103 has a protruding structure 130 protruding from the second opening 122 in a direction away from the cavity 120. The protruding structure 130 is located at the end away from the cable 101. The circuit board 104 is disposed within the cavity 120 and electrically connected to the cable 101, and the area of the protruding structure 130 projected onto the plane of the circuit board 104 at least partially overlaps with the circuit board 104. Figures 2 to 3 As shown, the circuit board 104 includes a circuit chip 104a, and the projection of the protrusion 130 onto the plane of the circuit board 104 at least partially overlaps with the circuit chip 104a. In the case of... Figures 2 to 3 In the illustrated embodiment, the projection range of the protruding structure 130 onto the plane of the circuit board 104 completely overlaps with both the circuit board 104 and the circuit chip 104a; however, this application is not limited to this. The projection range of the protruding structure onto the plane of the circuit board may partially overlap with the circuit board, partially overlap with the circuit chip, or partially overlap with the circuit chip, but not with at least a portion of the circuit board. The connector 105 is electrically connected to the circuit board 104, and the second opening 122 of the connector housing 103 surrounds the connector 105. The adhesive shell 106 covers the connector housing 103 and abuts against the protruding structure 130 of the connector housing 103. The adhesive shell 106 may be made of insulating materials such as plastic or rubber and may be formed on the outside of the connector housing 103 by injection molding to abut against the protruding structure 130; however, the adhesive shell of this application is not limited to this. As described above, the connector housing of this application can be used to fix cables, connectors, and circuit boards within the connector housing.
[0054] The circuit board can be a printed circuit board (PCB) or any suitable circuit carrier. Connectors can be plugs and sockets. A plug can refer to a male connector, male pin, or other male contact. Conversely, a socket can refer to a female connector, female connector, or pin socket, or other female contact for the male contact. Those skilled in the art will understand that, without affecting the implementation of this application, the male and female contacts can be equivalently exchanged and / or substituted. Furthermore, connectors can be compatible with various specifications, such as... Figures 1 to 3 In the illustrated embodiment, connector 105 is of Type-C specification; however, the connectors of this application are not limited to this. For example, the connectors of this application may be (e.g., but not limited to) connectors for transmitting signals such as Universal Serial Bus (USB), High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI), and DisplayPort (DP).
[0055] Please refer to Figures 2 to 6 , Figures 2 to 6 This description describes a connector housing 103 used to secure a cable 101, a connector 105, and a circuit board 104. The circuit board 104 is disposed within the connector housing 103. The connector housing 103 includes a body 107, which includes an upper plate 108, a lower plate 109, a first sidewall 111, and a second sidewall 112. The upper plate 108 and lower plate 109 are opposite to each other, and the first sidewall 111 and second sidewall 112 are opposite to each other. The upper plate 108, lower plate 109, first sidewall 111, and second sidewall 112 enclose a first opening 121, a cavity 120, and a second opening 122. The first opening 121 and second opening 122 communicate with the cavity 120. The first opening 121 surrounds the cable 101, and the second opening 122 surrounds the connector 105. At least one of the upper and lower plates of the connector housing has a protruding structure that protrudes away from the cavity. Figures 3 to 6 In the illustrated embodiment, both the upper plate 108 and the lower plate 109 of the connector housing 103 have protruding structures that protrude in a direction away from the cavity 120. However, this application is not limited to this, and the protruding structure may be provided only on one of the upper plate or the lower plate of the connector housing.
[0056] The connector housing of this application may be a metal housing, for example, made of stainless steel, aluminum alloy, or magnesium alloy. The connector housing of this application may be thin-shell shaped and formed by stamping. In some embodiments, such as... Figures 2 to 6As shown, the body 107 of the connector housing 103 can be formed by connecting two shells 170 and 180. In some embodiments, the connector housing of this application may have a thickness between about 0.15 mm and about 0.5 mm. However, such materials, shapes, processes, components or values are merely examples and are not intended to be limiting, and the connector housing of this application is not limited thereto.
[0057] In such Figures 2 to 6 In the illustrated embodiment, the areas of the upper plate 108 and the lower plate 109 are larger than the areas of the first sidewall 111 and the second sidewall 112; however, the connector housing of this application is not limited to this. In this embodiment, the upper plate 108 and the lower plate 109 are arranged in parallel, and the first sidewall 111 and the second sidewall 112 are arranged in parallel, forming a substantially cuboid structure; however, the connector housing of this application is not limited to this. For example, in some embodiments, the first sidewall and the second sidewall, or the upper plate and the lower plate, may be arranged at an angle to form a trapezoidal column structure. In some embodiments, the first sidewall and the second sidewall may include a bend, such that the end of the connector housing near the first opening and the end near the second opening have different shapes.
[0058] In such Figures 2 to 6 In the illustrated embodiment, the protruding structure 130 includes a first protruding sidewall 131, a second protruding sidewall 132, a third protruding sidewall 133, and a fourth protruding sidewall 134. The first protruding sidewall 131 and the third protruding sidewall 133 are disposed opposite to each other, and the second protruding sidewall 132 and the fourth protruding sidewall 134 are disposed opposite to each other. The first protruding sidewall 131 and the third protruding sidewall 133 extend parallel to each other along the directions of the first sidewall 111 and the second sidewall 112. It can be understood that the first protruding sidewall 131 and the third protruding sidewall 133 extend parallel to each other along the length extension direction of the connector 105. The first protruding sidewall 131, the second protruding sidewall 132, the third protruding sidewall 133, and the fourth protruding sidewall 134 enclose a rectangular structure 135 that is close to the second opening 122, and the area projected onto the plane where the circuit board 104 is located at least partially overlaps with the circuit board 104.
[0059] In such Figures 2 to 6 In the illustrated embodiment, four protruding sidewalls 131, 132, 133, and 134 form a rectangular structure 135 that is close to the second opening 122 and whose projection onto the plane of the circuit board 104 at least partially overlaps with the circuit board 104. However, the number of protruding sidewalls is not limited to this. The protruding structures of this application may at least partially overlap with the circuit board in the projection onto the plane of the circuit board and may have different geometries, and are not limited to this. Figures 2 to 6The rectangle shown is an example. For instance, in some embodiments, the protruding structure may include multiple protruding sidewalls that enclose a polygonal structure whose area near the second opening and projected onto the plane of the circuit board at least partially overlaps with the circuit board, including but not limited to triangles, quadrilaterals, pentagons, hexagons, heptagons, octagons, stars, etc. In some embodiments, the protruding structure may include two protruding sidewalls that enclose a heart-shaped structure whose area near the second opening and projected onto the plane of the circuit board at least partially overlaps with the circuit board. In some embodiments, the protruding structure may include one protruding sidewall that forms a circular or elliptical structure whose area near the second opening and projected onto the plane of the circuit board at least partially overlaps with the circuit board.
[0060] In such Figures 2 to 6 In the illustrated embodiment, the body 107 of the connector housing 103 of this application includes a first housing 170 and a second housing 180. The second housing 180 is connected to the first housing 170. The first housing 170 and the second housing 180 enclose a first opening 121, a cavity 120, and a second opening 122. At least one of the first housing and the second housing has a protruding structure. Figures 2 to 6 In the illustrated embodiment, both the first shell 170 and the second shell 180 of the connector housing 103 have protruding structures 130. However, this application is not limited to this, and the protruding structure may be provided only on one of the first shell or the second shell of the connector housing.
[0061] In such Figures 2 to 6 In the illustrated embodiment, the first shell 170 and the second shell 180 are snap-fitted together. Specifically, the first shell 170 includes an upper plate 108, a first left side plate 171, a first right side plate 172, and a first end wall 173. The first left side plate 171 and the first right side plate 172 are disposed opposite to each other. The upper plate 108 is connected between the first left side plate 171 and the first right side plate 172. The first end wall 173 is connected to one end of the upper plate 108, the first left side plate 171, and the first right side plate 172. The first end wall 173 has a portion of a second opening 122. The first left side plate 171 and the first right side plate 172 are respectively provided with protrusions 174. The second shell 180 is provided with through holes 184 configured to snap-fit with the protrusions 174. A protruding structure 130 is provided at one end near the first end wall 173, and its projection on the plane of the circuit board 104 at least partially overlaps with the circuit board 104. It should be noted that, as Figures 2 to 6 In the illustrated embodiment, the first left side plate 171 and the first right side plate 172 are each provided with three protrusions 174, and the second shell 180 is provided with six through holes 184 configured to engage with the protrusions 174. However, those skilled in the art will understand that this application is not limited to the number of protrusions on the first left side plate and the first right side plate, nor the number of through holes in the second shell that engage with these protrusions.
[0062] In some embodiments, the outer width between the first left side plate and the first right side plate may be slightly larger than the inner width of the second shell. When the first shell is assembled onto the second shell, the first left side plate and the first right side plate can undergo elastic deformation to create a clamping effect on both sides of the second shell, ensuring that the protrusion extends into the through hole and thus ensuring the reliability of the connection between the first shell and the second shell. In other embodiments, the first shell and the second shell may also be welded or bonded together.
[0063] In such Figures 2 to 6 In the illustrated embodiment, the second shell 180 includes a lower plate 109, a second left side plate 181, a second right side plate 182, and a second end wall 183. The second left side plate 181 and the second right side plate 182 are disposed opposite to each other. The lower plate 109 is connected between the second left side plate 181 and the second right side plate 182. The second end wall 183 is connected to one end of the lower plate 109, the second left side plate 181, and the second right side plate 182. The second end wall 183 has another part of a second opening 122. The second left side plate 181 and the second right side plate 182 are respectively provided with through holes 184, so that the first left side plate 171 and the second left side plate 181 are engaged to form a first side wall 111, the first right side plate 172 and the second right side plate 182 are engaged to form a second side wall 112, and the first end wall 173 and the second end wall 183 abut against each other to form the second opening 122. A protruding structure 130 is provided at one end near the second end wall 183. Specifically, the second left side panel 181 covers and is snapped onto the first left side panel 171, and the second right side panel 182 covers and is snapped onto the first right side panel 172. It should be noted that, as... Figures 2 to 6 In the illustrated embodiment, the second left side plate 181 and the second right side plate 182 each have three through holes 184. However, those skilled in the art will understand that this application is not limited to the number of through holes on the second left side plate and the second right side plate. In some embodiments, the thickness of the first end wall can be equal to the thickness of the second end wall, so that the sides of the first end wall and the second end wall facing away from the cavity are flush, thereby obtaining better appearance characteristics and facilitating the assembly of the connector and the connector housing.
[0064] In some embodiments, the inner width between the second left side plate and the second right side plate may be slightly smaller than the outer width of the first shell. When the first shell is assembled onto the second shell, the second left side plate and the second right side plate can undergo elastic deformation to clamp the sides of the first shell, ensuring that the protrusion extends into the through hole and thus ensuring the reliability of the connection between the first shell and the second shell. In other embodiments, the first shell and the second shell may also be welded or bonded together.
[0065] In such Figures 2 to 6In the illustrated embodiment, the first left side plate 171 and the first right side plate 172 are arranged parallel to each other, and the second left side plate 181 and the second right side plate 182 are arranged parallel to each other, forming a substantially cuboid structure after snapping together. However, the connector housing of this application is not limited to this. For example, in some embodiments, the first left side plate and the first right side plate or the second left side plate and the second right side plate may be angled, so that the first housing and the second housing form a trapezoidal column structure after snapping together. In some embodiments, the first left side plate and the first right side plate or the second left side plate and the second right side plate may include a bend, so that the end of the connector housing near the first opening and the end near the second opening formed after the first housing and the second housing are snapped together have different shapes.
[0066] In such Figures 2 to 6 In the illustrated embodiment, the two opposite ends of the first end wall 173 are aligned with the first left side plate 171 and the first right side plate 172, respectively, and the two opposite ends of the second end wall 183 are aligned with the second left side plate 181 and the second right side plate 182, respectively. The second left side plate 181 and the second right side plate 182 respectively cover the sides of the first left side plate 171 and the first right side plate 172 that are away from the cavity 120. In other words, in this embodiment, the second shell 180 covers the first shell 170, and the protrusion 174 of the first shell 170 is located inside the second left side plate 181 and the second right side plate 182 to prevent obvious protrusions from forming on the surface of the connector housing 103, which would affect the appearance or ease of use. However, this application is not limited to this; it could be that the first shell covers the second shell, or that the first shell has a through hole and the second shell has a protrusion, etc. On the other hand, this arrangement can prevent the opposite ends of the first end wall 173 from protruding from the first left side plate 171 and the first right side plate 172, and the opposite ends of the second end wall 183 from protruding from the second left side plate 181 and the second right side plate 182, so as to ensure the neat appearance of the connector and prevent the protruding parts from having an adverse effect on the use.
[0067] In such Figures 2 to 6 In the illustrated embodiment, the first opening 121 and the second opening 122 are positioned opposite each other. That is, the center of the first opening 121, the center of the second opening 122, and the center of the connector 105 insertion are approximately on the same straight line. Alternatively, it can be understood that when the cable 101 is straightened, the length extension direction of the cable 101 is parallel to the length extension direction of the connector 105. In other embodiments, the position of the second opening can be changed. For example, when the cable is straightened, the length extension direction of the cable can be at a right angle or an acute angle to the length extension direction of the connector to reduce the length of the connector to accommodate insertion and removal in confined spaces and improve ease of use.
[0068] In such Figures 2 to 6In the illustrated embodiment, the first housing 170 has a wrapping portion 175 at the end away from the first end wall 173. The wrapping portion 175 is configured to bend and deform to wrap around the cable 101. The protruding structure 130 and the wrapping portion 175 are located at opposite ends of the connector housing 103. The wrapping portion 175 is used to bend and deform to wrap around the outer periphery of the cable 101 after the cable 101 is inserted into the connector housing 103. When the connector housing 103 is not assembled with the connector 105, the wrapping portion 175 can be straight to prevent the wrapping portion 175 from interfering with the assembly of the first housing 170 and the second housing 180. After the cable 101 is electrically connected to the circuit board 104, the connector housing 103 can be assembled so that the cable 101 extends from the first opening 121. The wrapping portion 175 can then be bent to create a clamping force on the cable 101, allowing the cable 101 to be reliably mounted on the connector housing 103 and preventing the cable 101 from easily sliding relative to the connector housing 103, which could cause poor electrical contact between the cable 101 and the circuit board 104. In some embodiments, the wrapping portion can be directly disposed on the connector housing or on the second housing, and is not limited to... Figures 2 to 6 The example shown.
[0069] In such Figure 6 In the illustrated embodiment, the protruding structure 130 has a first distance r1 protruding from the upper plate 108 by approximately 0.5 mm and a second distance r2 protruding from the lower plate 109 by approximately 0.5 mm. The first distance protruding from the upper plate or the second distance protruding from the lower plate in this application can be between approximately 0.3 mm and 0.5 mm. Figure 6 In the illustrated embodiment, the first distance r1 and the second distance r2 have the same value, but in other embodiments, the first distance and the second distance may have different values. These values are merely examples and are not intended to be limiting, and the protruding structure of this application is not limited thereto.
[0070] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the connector housing 703 can be substantially similar to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The connector housing 103, wherein similar component symbols indicate similar components, and for the sake of brevity, related descriptions are omitted here, and the previously described connector housing and its related details are applicable here.
[0071] The difference between connector housing 703 and connector housing 103 described above is that, in such a way... Figure 7 and Figure 8In the illustrated embodiment, the protruding structure 730 may include one or more ribs whose projection onto the plane of the circuit board at least partially overlaps with the circuit board. Specifically, the plurality of ribs may include a first rib 751, a second rib 752, a third rib 753, and a fourth rib 754. The area of the intersection of the first rib 751 and the third rib 753 projected onto the plane of the circuit board at least partially overlaps with the circuit board, and the area of the intersection of the second rib 752 and the fourth rib 754 projected onto the plane of the circuit board at least partially overlaps with the circuit board. The first rib 751, the second rib 752, the third rib 753, and the fourth rib 754 intersect to form a first rectangle 741 that is close to the second opening 722 and whose projection onto the plane of the circuit board at least partially overlaps with the circuit board.
[0072] In such Figure 7 and Figure 8 In the illustrated embodiment, four ribs 751, 752, 753, and 754 intersect to form a first rectangle 741 that is close to the second opening 722 and whose projection onto the plane of the circuit board at least partially overlaps with the circuit board. However, the number of ribs is not limited to this. The ribs of this application may overlap with the circuit board at least partially in the projection onto the plane of the circuit board to form different geometric shapes, and are not limited to this. Figure 7 and Figure 8 The rectangle shown. For example, in some embodiments, multiple ribs may enclose or intersect to form a polygon whose area near the second opening and whose projection onto the plane of the circuit board at least partially overlaps with the circuit board, including but not limited to triangles, quadrilaterals, pentagons, hexagons, heptagons, octagons, stars, etc. In some embodiments, the protruding structure may include two ribs enclosing to form a heart shape whose area near the second opening and whose projection onto the plane of the circuit board at least partially overlaps with the circuit board. In some embodiments, the protruding structure may include one rib forming a circle or ellipse whose area near the second opening and whose projection onto the plane of the circuit board at least partially overlaps with the circuit board.
[0073] In such Figure 7 and Figure 8In the illustrated embodiment, the first rib 751 and the second rib 752 form a first angle θ1 with the first sidewall 711, and the third rib 753 and the fourth rib 754 form a second angle θ2 with the second sidewall 712. In this embodiment, the first angle θ1 formed by the first rib 751 and the second rib 752 with the first sidewall 711 is the same as the second angle θ2 formed by the third rib 753 and the fourth rib 754 with the second sidewall 712, and both are acute angles. However, this application is not limited to this; the first angle may be different from the second angle, and the first angle and the second angle may be right angles or acute angles. In some embodiments, due to the different angles formed, the quadrilateral formed by the intersection of the first rib, the second rib, the third rib, and the fourth rib, which is close to the second opening and whose projection onto the plane of the circuit board at least partially overlaps with the circuit board, may be different from the rectangle in this embodiment.
[0074] The number and angle of the protruding ribs are not limited to Figure 7 and Figure 8 The illustrated embodiment. In some embodiments, a portion of the plurality of ribs may form a first angle with the first sidewall, including a right angle and an acute angle, and another portion of the plurality of ribs may form a second angle with the second sidewall, including a right angle and an acute angle. In some embodiments, the angle of the first angle may be the same as the angle of the second angle. However, this application is not limited thereto, and the angle of the first angle may be different from the angle of the second angle. In some embodiments, due to the different number of the plurality of ribs and the different angles they form, the geometry of the range formed by the plurality of ribs near the second opening and projected onto the plane where the circuit board is located, which at least partially overlaps with the circuit board, may be different.
[0075] like Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the connector housing 903 can be substantially similar to Figure 7 and Figure 8 The connector housing 703, wherein similar component symbols indicate similar components, and for the sake of brevity, related descriptions are omitted here, and the previously described connector housing and its related details are applicable here.
[0076] The difference between connector housing 903 and connector housing 703 described above is that, in such a way... Figure 9 and Figure 10In the illustrated embodiment, the protruding structure 930 includes a geometric shape 960 whose projection onto the plane of the circuit board at least partially overlaps with the circuit board. A plurality of protruding ribs include a first protruding rib 951, a second protruding rib 952, a third protruding rib 953, a fourth protruding rib 954, a fifth protruding rib 955, and a sixth protruding rib 956. The first protruding rib 951, the third protruding rib 953, the fifth protruding rib 955, the second protruding rib 952, the fourth protruding rib 954, and the sixth protruding rib 956 are respectively arranged on both sides of the geometric shape 960, and at least one of the first protruding rib 951 and the second protruding rib 952 is close to the second opening 922. In some embodiments, the geometric shape may include a triangle, quadrilateral, pentagon, hexagon, heptagon, octagon, star, heart, circle, ellipse, etc. In this embodiment, the geometric shape 960 is a circle 961. In this embodiment, the plurality of ribs includes six ribs 951, 952, 953, 954, 955, and 956; however, the number of ribs is not limited to this. In some embodiments, the plurality of ribs may be configured as straight lines or arcs, and partially or completely surround the geometry of the protruding structure. In this embodiment, the plurality of ribs includes a first rib 951, a second rib 952, a third rib 953, a fourth rib 954, a fifth rib 955, and a sixth rib 956 configured as arcs, and partially surrounds a circle 961.
[0077] like Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, the connector housing 1103 can be substantially similar to Figure 7 and Figure 8 The connector housing 703, wherein similar component symbols indicate similar components, and for the sake of brevity, related descriptions are omitted here, and the previously described connector housing and its related details are applicable here.

Figure 11 and Figure 12In the illustrated embodiment, the first rib 1151 and the second rib 1152 extend parallel to the directions of the first sidewall 1111 and the second sidewall 1112, and the third rib 1153 and the fourth rib 1154 extend parallel to the directions perpendicular to the first sidewall 1111 and the second sidewall 1112. The first rib 1151, the second rib 1152, the third rib 1153, and the fourth rib 1154 intersect to form a first rectangle 1141 whose area near the second opening 1122 and projected onto the plane of the circuit board at least partially overlaps with the circuit board. In this embodiment, the plurality of ribs also includes a fifth rib 1155 extending along a direction perpendicular to the first sidewall 1111 and the second sidewall 1112, and the first rib 1151, the second rib 1152, the fourth rib 1154, and the fifth rib 1155 intersect to form a second rectangle 1142 adjacent to the first rectangle 1141 whose area projected onto the plane of the circuit board at least partially overlaps with the circuit board.
[0079] The number and direction of the protruding ribs are not limited. Figure 11 and Figure 12 The illustrated embodiment. In some embodiments, a portion of the plurality of ribs may extend parallel to the direction of the first sidewall, i.e., forming a 0-degree or 180-degree angle with the first sidewall, and another portion of the plurality of ribs may extend parallel to the direction perpendicular to the first sidewall, i.e., forming a 90-degree angle with the first sidewall. In some embodiments, a portion of the plurality of ribs may extend parallel to the direction of the second sidewall, i.e., forming a 0-degree or 180-degree angle with the second sidewall, and another portion of the plurality of ribs may extend parallel to the direction perpendicular to the second sidewall, i.e., forming a 90-degree angle with the second sidewall.

However, the number of ribs is not limited to this. The ribs of this application may form different geometric shapes by at least partially overlapping the circuit board in the projection on the plane of the circuit board, and are not limited to this. Figure 11 and Figure 12 Rectangles 1141 and 1142 are shown. For example, in some embodiments, multiple ribs may enclose or intersect to form a polygon adjacent to the first geometric shape and whose projection onto the plane of the circuit board at least partially overlaps with the circuit board, including but not limited to triangles, quadrilaterals, pentagons, hexagons, heptagons, octagons, stars, etc.

In this embodiment, there are four ribs 1351, 1352, 1353, and 1354, and they are spaced equidistant from each other.
[0083] The number, spacing, and included angle of the ribs are not limited to these. For example, there can be 2 to 8 ribs arranged at the same or different intervals. In this embodiment, the angle θ3 formed by a portion of the first rib 1351, a portion of the second rib 1352, a portion of the third rib 1353, and a portion of the fourth rib 1354 with the first sidewall 1311 is the same as the angle θ4 formed by another portion of the first rib 1351, another portion of the second rib 1352, another portion of the third rib 1353, and another portion of the fourth rib 1354 with the second sidewall 1312. In some embodiments, a portion of the multiple ribs may form a third angle with the first sidewall, including right angles and acute angles, and another portion of the multiple ribs may form a fourth angle with the second sidewall, including right angles and acute angles. In some embodiments, the angle of the third angle may be the same as the angle of the fourth angle. However, this application is not limited to this, and the angle of the third angle may be different from the angle of the fourth angle.

In this embodiment, there are four ribs 1551, 1552, 1553, and 1554, and they are spaced equidistant from each other. However, the number, direction of extension, and spacing of the ribs are not limited to this.

[0088] The protruding structure of this application can improve the structural strength of the connector housing, and strengthen the protection of the circuit board by at least partially overlapping the area projected onto the plane of the circuit board, or by at least partially overlapping the circuit chip of the circuit board. Furthermore, its placement near the second opening enhances the structural stability of the connector insertion and removal. In addition, the protruding structure increases the shape of the connector housing and allows it to fit snugly against the plastic shell of the connector assembly, preventing deformation and dents during the injection molding process, thereby improving the injection molding yield.
