according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the drawings, like components or components having similar functions are denoted by the same reference numerals. The drawings are not necessarily to scale.The elements of the board-to-board connector assembly according to the embodiment of the present invention will be briefly described with reference to FIGS. 1, 2, 3, and 4, wherein FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of the board-to-board connector assembly according to the embodiment of the present invention in an engaged state, FIG. 2 shows a perspective view of the board-to-board connector assembly according to the embodiment of the present invention in a non-engaged state, FIG. 3 shows a front view of a board-to-board connector assembly according to the embodiment of the present invention in an engaged state, and FIG. 4 shows a sectional view taken along line A-A in FIG. 3. The board-to-board connector assembly is generally designated by reference numeral "1.".The board-to-board connector assembly 1 includes a floating hybrid connector 10 and a non-floating hybrid connector 20. The hybrid non-floating connector 20 is a mating connector for the hybrid floating connector 10. Alternatively, the hybrid floating connector 10 is a mating connector for the hybrid non-floating connector 20. The hybrid floating connector 10 is mounted to a first circuit board P 1 using a surface mounting technique (SMT), and the hybrid non-floating connector 20 is mounted to a second circuit board P 2 using a surface mounting technique (SMT). The electrical connection between the first circuit board P 1 and the second circuit board P 2 is established by the board-to-board connector assembly 1. Since the hybrid floating connector 10 has a movable housing floatingly disposed, the hybrid floating connector 10 can compensate for positioning errors of the connectors or the circuit boards. As shown in FIG. 4, when the hybrid floating connector 10 and the hybrid non-floating connector 20 are engaged with each other, the contacts of the hybrid floating connector 10 and the hybrid non-floating connector 20 are in contact with each other, thereby establishing the electrical connection between the first circuit board P 1 and the second circuit board P 2.The floating hybrid connector 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6. As illustrated in FIGS. 5 and 6, the hybrid floating connector 10 includes a first housing 11 serving as a stationary housing, a second housing 12 serving as a movable housing, a plurality of signal contacts 13, and a plurality of power source contacts 14. The first housing 11 and the second housing 12 are made of insulating resin material or polymer material by injection molding. The signal contacts 13 and the power source contacts 14 are made of electrically conductive material (such as copper or a copper alloy).The first housing 11 has a receiving space 110, and the lower portion of the second housing 12 is received in the receiving space 110. Between the first housing 11 and the second housing 12, there is a gap that allows the second housing 12 to move with respect to the first housing 11 in a plane perpendicular to the first direction D 1.The second housing 12 includes a main body 120 and two restriction blocks 121 formed at both ends of the main body 120, respectively. In the main body 120 of the second housing 12, an engaging hole 1200 serving as an engaging portion is formed. Two U-shaped metal fitting pieces 15 are respectively mounted on the both ends of the first housing 11 so as to be engaged with the limiting blocks 121. The U-shaped metal fitting pieces 15 are used to prevent the second housing 12 from moving in the first direction D 1 and to prevent the second housing 12 from coming off the first housing 11. In this way, the second housing 12 is movable relative to the first housing 11 only in a plane perpendicular to the first direction D 1. FIG. 7 shows a perspective view of the signal contacts 13 and the current source contacts 14, wherein a signal contact 13 and a current source contact 14 are shown in enlarged form. As illustrated in FIG. 7, the signal contacts 13 and the power source contacts 14 are arranged in two rows in a second direction D 2 perpendicular to the first direction D 1. The two contact rows are mirror-symmetrical to one another. In each contact row, two current source contacts 14 are arranged on both sides of a signal contact group formed by the signal contacts 13 and spaced apart from the signal contact group. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the two power source contacts 14 may be arranged in each contact row on the same side of the signal contact group. In this embodiment, only one current source contact is arranged on each side of the signal contact group in each contact row. If desired, two or more power source contacts may be disposed on each side of the signal contact group.In this embodiment, the hybrid floating connector 10 comprises 140 signal contacts 13 and four power source contacts 14. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the number of signal contacts or power source contacts may be optionally increased or decreased.Each signal contact 13 includes a signal-side soldering portion 131, a first signal-side held portion 132, a signal-side spring portion 133, a second signal-side held portion 134, and a signal-side contact portion 135. The first signal-side held portion 132 extends from the signal-side soldering portion 131. The first signal-side held portion 132 and the second signal-side held portion 134 are connected by the signal-side spring portion 133 that allows the second signal-side held portion 134 to be movable with respect to the first signal-side held portion 132. The signal-side contact portion 135 extends from the second signal-side held portion 134. The signal-side soldering portion 131 is fixed to the circuit board using a surface mount technique (SMT). The first signal-side held portion 132 formed with a barbed structure is press-fitted into the first housing 11 and held by the first housing 11. The second signal-side held portion 134, which is formed with a barbed structure, is press-fitted into the second housing 12 and held by the second housing 12.The signal-side spring portion 133 of the signal contact 13 includes a first extension portion 1331, a first bent portion 1332, a second extension portion 1333, a second bent portion 1334, and a third extension portion 1335, in this order. The first extension portion 1331 and the third extension portion 1335 extend obliquely with respect to the first direction D 1 when viewed from the second direction D 2. The second extension portion 1333 extends in a direction parallel to the first direction D 1.Each power source contact 14 includes a power source side soldering portion 141, a first power source side held portion 142, a power source side offset extension portion 143, a second power source side held portion 144, and a power source side contact portion 145. The first power source-side held portion 142 extends from the power source-side soldering portion 141. The first power source side held portion 142 and the second power source side held portion 144 are connected by the power source side offset extension portion 143. The power source side contact portion 145 extends from the second power source side held portion 144. The power source side soldering portion 141 is fixed to the circuit board using a surface mount technique (SMT). The first power source side held portion 142 formed with a barbed structure is press-fitted into the first housing 11 and is held by the first housing 11. The second power source side held portion 144 formed with a barbed structure is press-fitted into the second housing 12 and held by the second housing 12.The power source side extending displacement portion 143 of the power source contact 14 includes a first extending portion 1431, a first bent portion 1432, a second extending portion 1433, a second bent portion 1434, and a third extending portion 1435, in this order. The first extension portion 1431 and the third extension portion 1435 extend obliquely with respect to the first direction D 1 when viewed from the second direction D 2. When viewed from the third direction D 3 that extends perpendicular to the first direction D 1 and the second direction D 2, the second extension portion 1433 includes a portion that extends obliquely with respect to the first direction D 1 such that the second power source-side held portion 144 and the power source-side contact portion 145 are offset with respect to the power source-side solder portion 141 and the first power source-side held portion 142. In this embodiment, the power source side offset extension portion 143 of the power source contact 14 of the hybrid floating connector 10 serves as a power source side spring portion that allows the second power source side held portion 144 to be elastically offset with respect to the first power source side held portion 142.The signal-side contact portion 135 of the signal contact 13 and the power source-side contact portion 145 of the power source contact 14 are disposed in the engagement hole 1200 of the second housing 12 so as to be in contact with the contacts of the mating connector.FIG. 8 is a view of the power source contact 14 shown in FIG. 7 in an enlarged manner as viewed from the third direction D 3. FIG. 9 shows a view of the signal contacts 13 and the current source contacts, viewed from the third direction D 3. As illustrated in FIG. 8, the power source contact 14 is configured such that the central axis C 2 of the power source side contact portion 145 is offset toward the left side of the drawing sheet (i.e., toward the central portion of the connector) with respect to the central axis C 1 of the power source side soldering portion 141.In other words, the power source side extending offsetting portion 143 causes the center axis C 2 of the power source side contact portion 145 to be offset toward the left side of the drawing sheet (i.e., toward the center portion of the connector) in the second direction D 2 with respect to the center axis C 1 of the power source side soldering portion 141, so that the gap between the power source side soldering portion 141 and the signal contact group becomes larger than the gap between the power source side contact portion 145 and the signal contact group. This configuration enables the gap between the current contact and the signal contact on the substrate side to be different from the gap between the current contact and the signal contact on the contact side. Therefore, as illustrated in FIG. 9, the current contact is configured such that the gap between the current contact and the signal contact on the substrate side is larger than the gap between the current contact and the signal contact on the contact side.Since the temperature of the power source side soldering portion rises when electric power is transmitted through the power contact, the adjacent signal contacts may be adversely affected. As the temperature of a signal contact rises, its resistance characteristics may change, thereby attenuating the signal transmitted through the signal contact. This may result in abnormal signal transmission. Therefore, by the power contacts of the present invention, the thermal effect on the signal contacts can be suppressed and the reliability of the signal transmission of the connector can be improved.Since the power source contact 14 has a larger width than the signal contact 13, the power source side offset extension portion 143 of the power source side contact 14, which serves as a spring portion, has a greater rigidity as compared with the signal side spring portion 133 of the signal contact 13. In order to promote the floating capability of the second housing, it is very advantageous to reduce the rigidity of the power source side offset extension portion 143 of the power source contact 14 and make it more easily deformable.As seen in FIGS. 7 and 8, a plurality of elongated slots 1430 extending in the longitudinal direction are formed in the power source side offsetting extension portion 143 of the power source contact 14. The power source side offset extension portion 143 is weakened by forming the elongated slits 1430.The floating hybrid connector 10 further includes a high-frequency insulating member 16. The high-frequency insulating member 16 is fixed to the lower surface of the second housing 12. The high-frequency insulating member 16 is configured to partially surround an exposed part of each signal contact 13 to improve the high-frequency characteristics of the signal contacts 13. For the sake of better illustration, only the signal contacts 13 and the insulating high-frequency element 16 are illustrated in FIG. 10. As illustrated in FIG. 10, the high-frequency insulating member 16 includes a plurality of receiving grooves 161. The receiving grooves 161 are arranged at predetermined intervals in the second direction. Each receiving groove 161 is configured to receive a portion of the respective signal contact 13 adjacent to the second signal-side supported portion 134.The hybrid non-floating connector 20 engageable with the hybrid floating connector 10 will be described with reference to FIGS. 11 and 12, wherein FIG. 11 is a perspective view of the hybrid non-floating connector 20 and FIG. 12 is an exploded perspective view of the hybrid non-floating connector 20.The non-floating hybrid connector 20 includes an insulating housing 21, a plurality of signal contacts 22, and a plurality of power source contacts 23. The insulating case 21 is a two-part case consisting of a first case 21A and a second case 21B. Each of the first housing 21A and the second housing 21B is made of an insulating resin material or polymer material and is manufactured by injection molding. The signal contacts 22 and the power source contacts 23 are made of an electrically conductive material (such as copper or a copper alloy). The insulating case 21 is a stationary case.The first housing 21A is in the form of an outer frame, and one end of the second housing 21B is in the form of a tongue. The tongue serves as the engaging portion of the hybrid non-floating connector 20.FIG. 13 is a perspective view of the signal contacts 22 and the power source contacts 23, and as illustrated in FIG. 13, the signal contacts 22 and the power source contacts 23 are arranged in two rows in the second direction D 2 perpendicular to the first direction D 1. The two contact rows extend mirror-symmetrically to one another. In each contact row, two current source contacts 23 are arranged on both sides of a signal contact group formed by signal contacts 22, respectively, and are spaced apart from the signal contact group. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. The layout of the contacts of the non-floating hybrid connector depends on the layout of the contacts of the floating hybrid connector to be engaged therewith.Each signal contact 22 includes a signal-side soldering portion 221, a first signal-side held portion 222, a signal-side curved extension portion 223, a second signal-side held portion 224, and a signal-side contact portion 225. The first signal-side held portion 222 extends from the signal-side soldering portion 221. The first signal-side held portion 222 and the second signal-side held portion 224 are connected by the signal-side curved extension portion 223. The signal-side contact portion 225 extends from the second signal-side held portion 224. The signal side solder portion 221 is fixed to the circuit board by surface mount technique (SMT). The first signal-side held portion 222 and the second signal-side held portion 224 each formed with a barbed structure are press-fitted into the second housing 21B and held by the second housing 21B.Each power source contact 23 includes a power source side soldering portion 231, a first power source side held portion 232, a power source side offset extension portion 233, a second power source side held portion 234, and a power source side contact portion 235. The first power source-side held portion 232 extends from the power source-side soldering portion 231. The first power source side held portion 232 and the second power source side held portion 234 are connected by the power source side offset extension portion 233. The power source side contact portion 235 extends from the second power source side held portion 234. The power source side soldering portion 231 is fixed to the circuit board by surface mount technique (SMT). The first power source-side held portion 232 and the second power source-side held portion 234, each formed with a barbed structure, are press-fitted into the second housing 21B and held by the second housing 21B.FIG. 14 is a view of the current contact 23 shown in FIG. 13 in an enlarged manner, viewed from the third direction D 3. FIG. 15 shows a view of the signal contacts 22 and the current source contacts 23 as viewed from the third direction D 3. As illustrated in FIG. 14, the power source contact 23 is configured such that the central axis C 4 of the power source side contact portion 235 is offset toward the left side of the drawing sheet (i.e., toward the central portion of the connector) with respect to the central axis C 3 of the power source side soldering portion 231. In other words, the power source side extending offsetting portion 233 causes the central axis C 4 of the power source side contact portion 235 to be offset in the second direction D 2 toward the left side of the drawing sheet (i.e., toward the center portion of the connector) with respect to the central axis C 3 of the power source side soldering portion 231, so that the gap between the power source side soldering portion 231 and the signal contact group becomes larger than the gap between the power source side contact portion 235 and the signal contact group. As shown in FIG. 15, by using the power source side contact portion 235 which is offset with respect to the power source side soldering portion 231, the gap between the power source side soldering portion 231 and the signal contact group is made larger than the gap between the power source side contact portion 235 and the signal contact group.Note that the insulation case 21 in this embodiment is a two-part case, but the invention is not limited thereto. The insulating housing 21 can be manufactured as a one-piece housing. Although in this embodiment the signal contacts and the current contacts are held only by the second housing 21B, the invention is not limited thereto. In a two-part housing, both the signal contacts and the power contacts can be held by the first housing and the second housing.Moreover, the hybrid connector according to the present invention may be implemented as a floating hybrid connector or a non-floating hybrid connector.Although the present invention has been described with reference to a preferred embodiment, it should be understood that various changes and modifications may be made within the spirit and scope of the inventive concepts described. Therefore, it is intended that the invention not be limited to the disclosed embodiment, but be to the full extent permitted by the wording of the following claims.List of reference characters1 Board-to-Board connector assembly 10 Floating hybrid connector 11 First housing 110 Accommodation space 12 Second housing 120 Main body 121 Restriction block 1200 Engagement opening 13 Signal contact 131 Signal-side soldering portion 132 First signal-side held portion 133 Signal-side spring portion 1331 First extension portion 1332 First bent portion 1333 Second extension portion 1334 Second bent portion 1335 Third extension portion 134 Second signal-side held portion 135 Signal-side contact 14 Power source-side contact 141 Power source-side soldering portion 142 First power source-side held portion 143 Power source-side offset extension portion 1430 Elongated slot 1431 First extension portion 1432 First bent portion 1433 Second extension portion 1434 Second bent portion 1435 Third extension portion 144 Second power source-side held portion 145 Power source-side contact 15 U-shaped metal fitting 16 Insulating member 161 Accommodation groove 20 Non-floating hybrid connector 21 Insulation housing 21A First housing 21B Second housing 22 Signal contact 221 Signal-side soldering portion 222 First signal-side held portion 223 Signal-side bent extension portion 224 Second signal-side held portion 225 Signal-side contact 23 Power source contact 231 Power source-side soldering portion 232 First power source-side held portion 233 Power source-side offset extension portion 234 Second power source-side held portion 235 Power source-side contact C 1 Center axis C 2 Center axis C 3 Center axis C 4 Center axis D 1 First direction D 2 Second direction D 3 Third direction P 1 First circuit board P 2 Second circuit boardReferences included in the specificationThis list of documents cited by the applicant has been produced in an automated manner and is only included for the better information of the reader.
