Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, connector assemblies have been widely used in various electronic devices for signal transmission. Generally, a connector assembly includes a slave connector and a master connector, wherein the slave connector can mate with the master connector to transmit signals. However, due to the special needs and development of electronic devices, the requirements for signal transmission in connector assemblies are increasing daily. However, existing connector assemblies are limited by poor shielding in their mechanical design, which often leads to interference in signal transmission when the slave connector mates with the master connector. This causes signal attenuation and distortion during transmission, making it difficult to meet the signal transmission requirements of the connector assembly. Such interference includes, for example, EMI electromagnetic interference or crosstalk interference.

Various details in this specification can also be modified and changed based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of this application. In particular, the proportional relationships and relative positions of the various elements in the drawings are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the actual implementation of this application.

[0083] This application provides a connector assembly and its master connector and slave connector. The connector assembly can be used in various electronic devices to transmit signals. The master connector has a master connector shielding conductor, and the master connector shielding conductor has a master connector shielding conductor shielding structure. The slave connector has a slave connector shielding conductor. The slave connector can be mated with the master connector, so that the slave connector shielding conductor is electrically connected to the master connector shielding conductor. This allows the master connector shielding conductor shielding structure to provide shielding at the mating point between the slave connector and the master connector, thereby reducing the degree of interference to the signal transmission of the master connector and the slave connector at the mating point and meeting the signal transmission requirements of the connector assembly.

[0084] For the technical concepts of the connector assembly and its master and slave connectors in this application, please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 18 The following is an example description.

[0085] At Figures 1 to 18 In the illustrated embodiment, at least one connector assembly 1 is provided, the connector assembly 1 comprising: a slave connector 11 and a master connector 12. The slave connector 11 is mated to the master connector 12 to transmit signals. Preferably, the slave connector 11 is a wire-end connector, and correspondingly, the master connector 12 is a board-end connector.

[0086] Regarding the slave connector 11, the slave connector 11 has a slave connector body 110, a slave connector signal terminal 111 and a slave connector shielding conductor 112.

[0087] Regarding the slave connector signal terminal 111, the slave connector signal terminal 111 is a conductive terminal that can provide a transmission signal, and the slave connector signal terminal 111 has a slave connector signal terminal mating structure 1111.

[0088] Regarding the slave connector body 110, the slave connector body 110 may be made of insulating material, and the slave connector body 110 has a slave connector body mating port 1101 and a slave connector body snap-fit ​​structure 1102. The slave connector body 110 engages with the slave connector signal terminal 111, such that the slave connector signal terminal mating structure 1111 is located at the slave connector body mating port 1101 to provide mating with the master connector 12.

[0089] Regarding the slave connector shielding conductor 112, the slave connector shielding conductor 112 may be made of a metallic material to provide a shielded signal for transmitting, for example, a ground signal. The slave connector shielding conductor 112 has a slave connector shielding conductor abutment structure 1121 and a slave connector shielding conductor elastic structure 1122, wherein the slave connector shielding conductor elastic structure 1122 is connected to the slave connector shielding conductor abutment structure 1121, such that the slave connector shielding conductor elastic structure 1122 can drive the slave connector shielding conductor abutment structure 1121 after elastic deformation. In addition, the slave connector shielding conductor 112 is installed on the slave connector body 110, and the slave connector shielding conductor abutment structure 1121 has a first slave connector shielding conductor abutment substructure 11211 and a second slave connector shielding conductor abutment substructure 11212, wherein the first slave connector shielding conductor abutment substructure 11211 and the second slave connector shielding conductor abutment substructure 11212 are respectively located on opposite sides of the slave connector body 110.

[0090] Preferably, the first slave connector shielding conductor abutment structure 11211 and the second slave connector shielding conductor abutment structure 11212 can be respectively disposed on a separate first slave connector shielding conductor abutment component 11211' and a second slave connector shielding conductor abutment component 11212', that is, the first slave connector shielding conductor abutment structure 11211 and the second slave connector shielding conductor abutment structure 11212 can be respectively disposed on two separate components. However, not limited to the above, the first slave connector shielding conductor abutment structure 11211 and the second slave connector shielding conductor abutment structure 11212 can also be optionally disposed on a single component to simplify the manufacturing process of the master connector shielding conductor 122.

[0091] Regarding the master connector 12, the master connector 12 has a master connector body 120, a master connector signal terminal 121, and a master connector shielding conductor 122. It should be noted that the slave connector body 110 can mate with the master connector body 120 to achieve the mating of the slave connector 11 and the master connector 12.

[0092] Regarding the main connector signal terminal 121, the main connector signal terminal 121 is a conductive terminal that can provide a transmission signal, and the main connector signal terminal 121 has a main connector signal terminal mating structure 1211.

[0093] The master connector body 120 may be made of insulating material and has a master connector body docking port 1201, a master connector body snap-fit ​​structure 1202, a master connector body docking guide structure 1203 and a master connector body mounting guide structure 1204. The master connector body 120 engages with the master connector signal terminal 121, such that the master connector signal terminal docking structure 1211 is located at the master connector body docking port 1201 to provide docking with the slave connector 11.

[0094] Regarding the main connector shielding conductor 122, the main connector shielding conductor 122 may be made of a metallic material to provide a shielded signal for transmitting, for example, a ground signal, and the main connector shielding conductor 122 has a main connector shielding conductor abutment structure 1221 and a main connector shielding conductor shielding structure 1222, wherein the main connector shielding conductor shielding structure 1222 has a main connector shielding conductor shielding structure mating channel 12221. Additionally, the main connector body mounting guide structure 1204 provides guidance for the main connector shielding conductor 122 to be mounted on the main connector body 120 in a predetermined manner, so that the main connector shielding conductor shielding structure mating channel 12221 extends to the main connector body mating port 1201 (or the main connector body 120), and the main connector shielding conductor abutment structure 1221 has a first main connector shielding conductor abutment substructure 12211 and a second main connector shielding conductor abutment substructure 12212, wherein the first main connector shielding conductor abutment substructure 12211 and the second main connector shielding conductor abutment substructure 12212 are respectively located on opposite sides of the main connector body 120.

[0095] The master connector body docking guide structure 1203 can guide the slave connector body docking port 1101 (the slave connector body 110 or the slave connector 11) to dock with the master connector body docking port 1201 (the master connector body 120 or the master connector 12) via the master connector shielding conductor shielding structure docking channel 12221, so that the slave connector body snap-fit ​​structure 1102 can snap into the master connector body snap-fit ​​structure 1202, thereby maintaining the docking relationship between the slave connector body docking port 1101 and the master connector body docking port 1201.

[0096] It should be noted that when the slave connector body snap-fit ​​structure 1102 snaps into the master connector body snap-fit ​​structure 1202, it can prevent the slave connector 11 from detaching from the mating master connector 12, thereby solving the technical problem of the slave connector 11 easily detaching from the mating master connector 12. This ensures that the signal transmission function of the slave connector 11 and the master connector 12 meets expectations, allowing the connector assembly 1 to be widely used in various electronic devices. Furthermore, the slave connector body snap-fit ​​structure 1102 and the master connector body snap-fit ​​structure 1202 can be selected as a mating concave-convex structure, which allows for a reduction in the size of the connector assembly 1, enabling electronic devices using the connector assembly 1 to continue to develop towards a thinner and smaller design.

[0097] It should be noted that when the slave connector body docking port 1101 (the slave connector body 110 or the slave connector 11) docks with the master connector body docking port 1201 (the master connector body 120 or the master connector 12), the slave connector shielding conductor elastic structure 1122 can elastically deform to force the slave connector shielding conductor abutment structure 1121 to abut against the master connector shielding conductor abutment structure 1221. That is, the first slave connector shielding conductor abutment substructure 11211 and the second slave connector shielding conductor abutment substructure 11212 abut against the first master connector shielding conductor abutment substructure 12211 and the second master connector shielding conductor abutment substructure 12212 respectively on opposite sides of the slave connector body 110, so that the slave connector shielding conductor... 112 is electrically connected to the shielding conductor 122 of the main connector to transmit shielded signals, thereby enabling the shielding structure 1222 of the main connector to provide a connector mating shielding environment E. Furthermore, the signal terminal mating structure 1111 of the slave connector mates with the signal terminal mating structure 1211 of the main connector in the shielding structure 1222, so that the signal terminal 111 of the slave connector is electrically connected to the signal terminal 121 of the main connector in the connector mating shielding environment E. Therefore, the signal terminal 111 of the slave connector and the signal terminal 121 of the main connector can mate and transmit signals in the connector mating shielding environment E. This reduces the degree of interference to the signal transmission between the slave connector 11 and the main connector 12 at the mating point, thus meeting the signal transmission requirements of the connector assembly 1.

[0098] It should be noted that the slave connector shielding conductor abutment structure 1121 and the master connector shielding conductor abutment structure 1221 can be selected as a concave-convex structure with structural cooperation. In this way, the size of the connector assembly 1 can be reduced, thereby allowing electronic devices using the connector assembly 1 to continue to develop in the direction of being thinner and smaller.

[0099] Additionally, it should be noted that... Figures 5 to 6 , Figures 9 to 12 , Figure 14 and Figures 17 to 18 In the illustrated embodiment, the main connector shielding conductor shielding structure 1222 is a frame-like structure that can surround the main connector body 120, so that the structural strength of the main connector shielding conductor shielding structure 1222 meets the expectations, and the main connector shielding conductor shielding structure 1222 is higher than the main connector body 120, so that the shielding range of the connector mating shielding environment E meets the expectations, and can provide shielding for the mating point of the slave connector body 110 and the main connector body 120.

[0100] At Figures 8 to 9 In the illustrated embodiment, the master connector shielding conductor abutment structure 1221 and the slave connector shielding conductor abutment structure 1121 are a snap-fit ​​structure that fits together, so that the slave connector shielding conductor abutment structure 1121 can abut against the master connector shielding conductor abutment structure 1221, thereby maintaining the docking relationship between the slave connector body docking port 1101 (the slave connector body 110 or the slave connector 11) and the master connector body docking port 1201 (the master connector body 120 or the master connector 12). That is, the slave connector shielding conductor abutment structure 1121 abutting against the master connector shielding conductor abutment structure 1221 can prevent the slave connector 11 from detaching from the mated master connector 12, thereby solving the technical problem that the slave connector 11 is prone to detaching from the mated master connector 12, and ensuring that the signal transmission function of the slave connector 11 and the master connector 12 meets expectations, so that the connector assembly 1 can be widely used in various electronic devices.

[0101] Furthermore, at Figures 11 to 12 and Figure 14In the illustrated embodiment, when the slave connector body docking port 1101 (the slave connector body 110 or the slave connector 11) docks with the master connector body docking port 1201 (the master connector body 120 or the master connector 12), the master connector shielding conductor shielding structure 1222 extends from the master connector body 120 to the slave connector body 110, so that the connector docking shielding environment E extends from the master connector body 120 to the slave connector body 110, so that the shielding range of the connector docking shielding environment E meets expectations, and can provide shielding for the docking point between the slave connector body 110 and the master connector body 120.

[0102] In addition, Figures 5 to 6 and Figures 11 to 12 In the illustrated embodiment, the slave connector body 110 further includes a slave connector body actuation structure 1103, which is connected to the slave connector body snap-fit ​​structure 1102, such that the slave connector body actuation structure 1103 can be forced to actuate the slave connector body snap-fit ​​structure 1102. Correspondingly, the master connector shielding conductor 122 also includes a master connector shielding conductor exposure structure 1223. It should be noted that when the slave connector body docking port 1101 (the slave connector body 110 or the slave connector 11) docks with the master connector body docking port 1201 (the master connector body 120 or the master connector 12), the master connector shielding conductor exposure structure 1223 can expose the slave connector body actuation structure 1103, so that the slave connector body actuation structure 1103 can be actuated by force to activate the slave connector body locking structure 1102, thereby forcing the slave connector body locking structure 1102 to release from locking the master connector body locking structure 1202, thereby adjusting the docking relationship between the slave connector body docking port 1101 (the slave connector body 110 or the slave connector 11) and the master connector body docking port 1201 (the master connector body 120 or the master connector 12), so that the operation of the connector assembly can meet the requirements of the electronic device.

[0103] It should be noted that, Yu Figures 1 to 2In the illustrated embodiment, the connector assembly 1 further includes a shielding conductor extension member 13, which is made of a conductive material capable of transmitting shielding signals. Correspondingly, the slave connector shielding conductor 112 also has a slave connector shielding conductor extension structure 1123, which extends in a direction away from the slave connector body 110 to connect with the shielding conductor extension member 13. Thus, the slave connector shielding conductor 112 can be extended through the shielding conductor extension member 13, allowing the shielding signal to be transmitted to the master connector shielding conductor 122 via the shielding conductor extension member 13 and the slave connector shielding conductor 112. This ensures that the master connector shielding conductor shielding structure 1222 can provide shielding at the mating point between the slave connector 11 and the master connector 12.

It also allows the slave connector shielding conductor abutment structure to abut with the master connector shielding conductor abutment structure, enabling the slave connector shielding conductor to electrically connect with the master connector shielding conductor. This allows the master connector shielding conductor shielding structure to provide a shielded environment for connector docking, and also allows the slave connector signal terminal docking structure to dock with the master connector signal terminal docking structure within this shielded environment.
