Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of backplane connector shielding, and in particular to a low crosstalk high-speed backplane connector shielding structure. Background Technology

[0002] In the digital age, high-speed backplane connectors serve as crucial hubs for data transmission, and their performance directly impacts the data processing and interaction efficiency of the entire system. Currently, with the rapid development of cutting-edge fields such as 5G communication, artificial intelligence, and big data centers, the demand for signal transmission rates from high-speed backplane connectors is increasing exponentially. From the simple circuit connections of early computers to the close collaboration of GPU clusters within today's AI servers, the transmission rate of backplane connectors has evolved from its initial relatively low level.

[0003] In the pursuit of high-speed transmission, the design of anti-crosstalk capability between signal pairs has become a core technical aspect of high-speed connector design. As signal transmission rates increase, crosstalk issues in the backplane connector pin area become increasingly prominent, gradually becoming a major bottleneck restricting signal integrity. Crosstalk, essentially, is an interference phenomenon caused by electromagnetic coupling, specifically manifested as signal crosstalk between adjacent signal lines. This phenomenon leads to signal distortion, increased bit error rate, and in severe cases, even a significant deterioration in system performance. In the pin area of ​​high-speed backplane connectors, due to the extremely small pin spacing, high signal rate, and rapid current changes, capacitive and inductive coupling coexist, and the crosstalk effect significantly intensifies with increasing signal frequency.

[0004] To address this challenge, traditional 2D shielding technology was once widely used. It primarily attempts to block electromagnetic coupling by adding a metal shielding layer to a specific plane. However, with the continuous increase in connector transmission rates, the limitations of 2D shielding technology have become increasingly apparent. When faced with the complex electromagnetic field distribution of high-frequency signals, its shielding effect is significantly reduced, making it difficult to meet increasingly stringent requirements for crosstalk immunity.
