Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of PCB technology, and specifically relates to an inter-board radio frequency coaxial connector. Background Technology

[0002] An inter-board radio frequency coaxial connector is a connector used to directly transmit radio frequency signals between adjacent or close printed circuit boards (PCBs).

[0003] Currently, Chinese utility model patent CN209730365U discloses an inter-board radio frequency coaxial connector. In current board-to-board radio frequency connection applications, the rated radio frequency transmission power for boards with an outer contour dimension of 9*9mm or less is generally 180W (2.5GHz) or less. If the system requires a power capacity of 200W or more, the temperature rise and gradient change of the conductor and dielectric materials inside the connector will be accelerated, causing the metal parts to lose elasticity at high temperatures, the supporting dielectric to soften and deform, and in severe cases, it can easily lead to blackening of the PCB connection end and carbonization of the traces. While some connectors can achieve a power capacity of 200W or more, they may have small mechanical tolerances and radio frequency performance limited to 3GHz, failing to meet the application requirements. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an inter-board radio frequency coaxial connector that has the advantages of high power capacity, compact structure, and balanced mechanical and electrical performance.

[0005] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: an inter-board radio frequency coaxial connector, including a sliding end socket, a blind mating connecting rod, and a locking end socket. The bottom of the locking end socket and the top of the sliding end socket are respectively provided with a PCB board and a filter. The outer surface of the sliding end socket is threadedly connected to the cavity of the filter. The bottom of the locking end socket is welded to the top of the PCB board. The top and bottom of the blind mating connecting rod adopt a symmetrical structure and are respectively connected to the bottom of the sliding end socket and the top of the locking end socket.

[0006] The above technical solution enables high-power 250W (2.7GHz) inter-board RF connections within a PCB outer contour area of ​​9*9mm. It also ensures axial and radial mechanical tolerance, excellent signal integrity within the 6GHz range, and a certain degree of shielding and anti-interference capability.

[0007] The present invention is further configured such that a sliding end insulator is fixedly connected inside the sliding end socket, and the sliding end insulator is made of a dielectric material of polytetrafluoroethylene and ceramic filler copolymer.

[0008] The above technical solution enables the sliding end insulator to have the advantages of low dielectric constant and high thermal conductivity, reducing insertion loss and maximizing the transfer of heat from the inner conductor to the outer shell.

[0009] The present invention is further configured such that a connecting rod end insulator is fixedly connected inside the blind insertion connecting rod, the connecting rod end insulator is an upper and lower spaced insulator, and is made of a dielectric material of polytetrafluoroethylene and ceramic filler copolymer.

[0010] The above technical solution can simultaneously fix the inner conductor and match the impedance, while also diffusing the Joule heat generated by the high-power current in both the axial and radial directions.

[0011] The present invention is further configured such that elastic grooved retaining rings are symmetrically welded to the top and bottom of the blind insertion connecting rod, wherein the elastic grooved retaining rings have a longer short groove, a wider narrow groove, and a higher number of grooves and a stronger retaining ring hardness.

[0012] The above technical solution makes the contact more reliable and also improves the shielding effectiveness within 6GHz.

[0013] The present invention is further configured such that the inner conductor end of the blind insertion connecting rod is provided with an inner large arc round chamfer, and the inner large arc round chamfer is a thickened flared mouth design.

[0014] Using the above technical solution, in addition to compensating for the impedance during axial tolerance, repeated insertion and removal are less likely to cause deformation.

[0015] The present invention is further configured such that a locking end insulator is embedded and fixedly connected inside the locking end socket, and the locking end insulator is made of LCP and ceramic filler copolymer dielectric material.

[0016] The above technical solution enables the locking end insulator to have the advantages of low high-temperature deformation, high strength, and high thermal conductivity, which can promptly dissipate the heat generated by the temperature rise of the PCB board to the shell and enhance the thermal conductivity of the solder pads.

[0017] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial effects: Achieving high-power 250W (2.7GHz) inter-board RF connections within a PCB outer contour area of ​​9*9mm. It also ensures axial and radial mechanical tolerance, excellent signal integrity within the 6GHz range, and a certain degree of shielding and anti-interference capability.

[0020] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0021] Example 1: refer to Figure 1 An inter-board radio frequency coaxial connector includes a sliding end socket 1, a blind mating connecting rod 2, and a locking end socket 3. A PCB board 4 and a filter 5 are respectively disposed at the bottom of the locking end socket 3 and the top of the sliding end socket 1. The outer surface of the sliding end socket 1 is threadedly connected to the cavity of the filter 5. The bottom of the locking end socket 3 is soldered to the top of the PCB board 4. The top and bottom of the blind mating connecting rod 2 adopt a symmetrical structure and are respectively connected to the bottom of the sliding end socket 1 and the top of the locking end socket 3. This connector achieves high-power 250W (2.7GHz) inter-board radio frequency connection within a PCB outer contour dimension of 9*9mm. It also considers axial and radial mechanical tolerance capabilities, provides excellent signal integrity within the 6GHz range, and has a certain degree of shielding and anti-interference capability.

[0022] refer to Figure 1 The sliding end socket 1 is internally fixedly connected to a sliding end insulator 1.1, which is made of a copolymer of polytetrafluoroethylene and ceramic filler dielectric material. This gives the sliding end insulator 1.1 the advantages of low dielectric constant and high thermal conductivity, reducing insertion loss and maximizing the transfer of heat from the inner conductor to the outer casing.

[0023] refer to Figure 1 The blind-plug connecting rod 2 is internally fixedly connected to a connecting rod end insulator 2.1. The connecting rod end insulator 2.1 adopts an upper and lower spaced insulator and is made of a dielectric material of polytetrafluoroethylene and ceramic filler copolymer. It can take into account both the fixation of the inner conductor and impedance matching, while diffusing the Joule heat generated by the high-power current in both axial and radial directions.

[0024] refer to Figure 1 The top and bottom of the blind-plug connector 2 are symmetrically welded with elastic grooved retaining rings 2.2. The elastic grooved retaining rings 2.2 have shorter grooves, wider grooves, a higher number of grooves, and enhanced ring hardness. This makes the contact more reliable and also improves the shielding effectiveness below 6GHz.

[0025] refer to Figure 1 The inner conductor end of the blind-fit connector 2 is provided with an inner large-radius rounded chamfer 2.3, which is a thickened flared design. In addition to compensating for impedance during axial tolerance, it is not easily deformed by repeated insertion and removal.

[0026] refer to Figure 1 The locking end socket 3 is internally embedded with a locking end insulator 3.1, which is made of LCP and ceramic filler copolymer dielectric material. This gives the locking end insulator 3.1 the advantages of low high-temperature deformation, high strength, and high thermal conductivity, which can effectively dissipate the heat generated by the temperature rise of the PCB board 4 to the shell and enhance the heat conduction at the solder pads.

[0027] Brief description of the usage process: First, during connection, the bottom of the blind-mating connecting rod 2 engages with the inner groove of the locking end socket 3 housing via the elastic grooved retainer 2.2, while the top connects with the sliding end socket 1 via the elastic grooved retainer 2.2 and transitions to contact with the inner wall through the cup-shaped guide. During separation, due to the different insertion and extraction forces, the connecting rod follows the locking end. This inter-plate connection scheme can provide an axial tolerance of + / -1.2mm and a radial tolerance of + / -1mm. Simultaneously, a sliding end insulator 1.1 and a connecting rod end insulator 2.1, made of polytetrafluoroethylene and ceramic filler copolymer dielectric material, are respectively installed inside the sliding end socket 1 and the blind-mating connecting rod 2. The sliding end insulator 1.1 reduces insertion loss and maximizes the transfer of heat from the inner conductor to the outer shell, while the connecting rod end insulator 2.1 balances inner conductor fixation and impedance matching, while also diffusing the Joule heat generated by high-power current axially and radially. Then, a locking end insulator 3.1 made of LCP and ceramic filler copolymer dielectric material is embedded inside the locking end socket 3. This gives the locking end insulator 3.1 the advantages of low high-temperature deformation, high strength, and high thermal conductivity, which can effectively dissipate the heat generated by the temperature rise of the PCB board 4 to the shell and enhance the thermal conductivity of the pads. This enables high-power 250W (2.7GHz) inter-board RF connection within a 9*9mm outer contour of the PCB. At the same time, it takes into account axial and radial mechanical tolerance, excellent signal integrity within the 6GHz range, and a certain degree of shielding and anti-interference capability.

[0028] It should be noted that parts have a lifespan and can be replaced during regular maintenance when they no longer meet performance requirements. Deterioration in performance due to prolonged use of parts is not a design defect of this application.
