Description

Technical field

[0001] The invention relates to a contact terminal, in particular a contact terminal for computer or telephone lines. State of the art

[0002] In the prior art, the chip in the contact terminal of a telephone or computer is mainly made of copper sheet. When the copper sheet is punched, a chip body is formed, which is strip-shaped and contains multiple continuous chips. To prevent oxidation of the copper chip, the chip body is coated with a protective layer of alloy to prevent the chip from oxidizing and affecting subsequent signal transmission and causing a short circuit, thus affecting normal signal transmission. Before each chip is inserted into the contact terminal of a telephone or computer, the chips of the chip body must be cut one by one. In this way, the copper sheet is in an exposed state at the break points on both sides of each chip.Because there is no alloy protective layer, when inserted into the contact terminal of a phone or computer, due to the overall design of the existing chip and the design of the internal structure of the conventional contact terminal, the broken parts are exposed outside the chip slot, which causes the broken parts to be oxidized by long-term exposure to air or humid environment, thus affecting normal signal transmission.

[0003] Therefore, the industry urgently needs a contact terminal for computer or telephone lines that can avoid the above-mentioned problems. The industry urgently needs to find a solution that meets the regulatory specifications of the contact terminal and chip by improving the chip or internal structure of the conventional contact terminal, while avoiding the oxidation problem of the breakage points. Object of the invention

[0004] The object of the invention is to provide a contact terminal for computer or telephone line, which can solve the problem that the contact terminal of the existing telephone or computer cannot transmit the signals normally due to the oxidation of the internal chip.

[0005] This object is achieved by the contact terminal of the invention, which comprises a chip and a computer or telephone line connector having a connector structure forming a plurality of chip slots. When the chip is inserted into the chip slot, the two break points of the chip slide along the two opposite sidewalls of the chip slot and rest against the two sidewalls. The heights of the two sidewalls of the chip slot are greater than the height of the break points, whereby the break points are completely covered by the two sidewalls in the chip slot.

[0006] In one or more embodiments of the invention, the chip comprises an upper portion, a neck, and a lower portion, the neck being connected to the upper portion and the lower portion, the upper portion having two opposing projections near the neck, and the two projections extending outwardly and forming the break points.

[0007] In one or more embodiments of the invention, the heights of both side walls are not equal and have a difference, wherein the height of the side wall close to the front of the contact terminal is smaller than the height of the other side wall.

[0008] In one or more embodiments of the invention, the heights of the two side walls are greater than the height of the break points.

[0009] In one or more embodiments of the invention, the contact terminal is a telephone line or network line contact terminal, wherein the side wall forms an acute angle near the front at the opening of the chip slot.

[0010] In one or more embodiments of the invention, the lower portion is an electrically conductive layer.

[0011] In one or more embodiments of the invention, the two pointed portions on the bottom are inserted into the wire hole module and the wires in the wire hole module of the computer or telephone line connector.

[0012] In one or more embodiments of the invention, the chip is inserted into the chip slot with the opening of the chip slot being higher than the upper portion.

[0013] The invention further provides a contact terminal comprising: a chip and a computer or telephone line connector having a connector structure forming a plurality of chip slots, wherein the chip is inserted into the chip slot with the two opposite break points of the chip abutting two opposite side walls of the chip slot, the height of the side wall near the front of the contact terminal being smaller than the height of the other side wall.

[0014] In one or more embodiments of the invention, the connector structure is an insulating plastic layer.

[0015] In order to enable a better understanding of the purpose, form, structure, features and functions of the present invention, the following embodiments with the accompanying drawings are provided for detailed description.

Ways to implement the invention

[0016] An embodiment of a contact terminal of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

[0017] First, Fig. 1 is a schematic representation of the contact terminal of an embodiment of the invention. As in Fig. 1, the contact terminal 100 includes a chip 110; and a computer or telephone line connector. The computer or telephone line connector consists of a connector structure 102, a wire hole module 104, a pressing part 106, and a protecting part 108. The connector structure 102 is an insulating plastic layer and forms a plurality of chip slots 103. The chip 110 is inserted into the chip slot 103. The chip slot 103 has two opposite sidewalls (103a, 103b) inside. When the chip 110 is inserted, the two opposite break points 110a of the chip 110 abut against it. The height of the sidewall 103a is smaller than the height of the sidewall 103b. The heights of both sidewalls (103a, 103b) are greater than the height of the break points 110a. The wire hole module 104 includes wire holes (104a, 104b, 104c).It should be noted that in the plastic layer of the connector structure 102, the side wall 103a of the chip slot 103 forms an acute angle at the opening of the chip slot 103, which promotes the subsequent smooth insertion of the contact terminal 100 into the contact socket (not shown). Furthermore, the underside of the chip 110 has two pointed portions 110b.

[0018] Next, Fig. 2 another embodiment of the invention. Fig. Figure 2 is a schematic representation of the contact terminal of another embodiment of the invention. As in Fig. As shown in Figure 2, when the chip 110 is inserted into the chip slot 103 to a predetermined position, two opposite side walls (103a, 103b) in the chip slot 103 abut against the two break points 110a of the chip 110. More specifically, the two side walls (103a, 103b) in the chip slot 103 and the two break points 110a of the chip 110 abut each other. Since the heights of the two side walls (103a, 103b) of the chip slot 103 are greater than the height of the break points 110a and they abut each other with the break points, the break points 110a are completely covered by the two side walls (103a, 103b) in the chip slot 103, thereby achieving the effect of shielding and protecting the break points 110a. In this way, the break points 110a are completely accommodated in the chip slot 103 without being exposed to the air.Therefore, there is no need to worry about the problem of oxidation on the surface of the breakages 110a. It should be noted that the two pointed portions 110b on the bottom side are inserted into the wire hole module 104, and the wires are inserted into the wire hole module 104.

[0019] In comparison, Fig. 3 a comparison example. Fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of the contact terminal of a conventional comparative example. As in Fig. 3, the contact terminal 200 includes a chip 210; and a computer or telephone line connector. The computer or telephone line connector consists of a connector structure (202, 202a), a wire hole module 204, a pressure section 206, and a protective section 208. The connector structure (202, 202a) is made of an insulating plastic layer and forms a plurality of chip slots 203. The chip 210 is inserted into the chip slot 203 until it is fixed at a predetermined position in the chip slot 203. The wire hole module 204 includes wire holes (204a, 204b, 204c). The bottom of the chip 210 has two pointed portions, like the two pointed portions 110b on the bottom of the chip 110 in Fig. 1. It is particularly important to note that in the comparison example of Fig. 3 the chip slot 203 has no space to accommodate the break points of the chip as in Fig. 2.

[0020] Fig. 4 also shows the comparison example in Fig. 3. Fig. 4 is a schematic diagram of the contact terminal of a conventional comparative example. As in Fig. 4, when the chip 210 is inserted into the chip slot 203 to a predetermined position, ie, reaching the wire hole 204c of the wire hole module 204, the connector structure 202a does not abut the break points of the chip 210. It should be noted here that in the conventional comparative example of Fig. 4, since the chip slot 203 of the connector structure 202a is not in the same position as the chip slot 103 in Fig. 2 has two sidewalls to cover the breakage points of the chip 210, the height of the connector structure 202a is only H1, which exposes the two breakage points of the chip 210. In other words, the connector structure 202a cannot shield and protect the breakage points of the chip 210. The breakage points of the chip 210 are exposed without an appropriate protective layer. Oxidation can easily occur during long-term use, which affects communication and phone call quality.

[0021] Next, reference is made to Fig. 5 to 8 taken. Fig. 5 is a schematic diagram of the contact terminal of a conventional comparative example. Fig. 6 is a schematic diagram of the contact terminal of a conventional comparative example. Fig. Figure 7 is a schematic diagram of the contact terminal of another embodiment of the invention. Fig. 8 is a schematic representation of the contact terminal of another embodiment of the invention.

[0022] In Fig. 5, the contact terminal 500 of the conventional comparison example is not yet riveted. When the chip 520 is inserted into the computer or telephone line connector 510, the two break points 520a of the chip 520 are exposed. Fig. 6, the contact terminal 500 of the conventional comparison example is already riveted. When the chip 520 is inserted into the computer or telephone line connector 510, the break point 520a of the chip 520 is still exposed.

[0023] In Fig. 7, the contact terminal 700 of the embodiment of the invention is not yet riveted. When the chip 720 is inserted into the computer or telephone line connector 710, the two break points 720a of the chip 720 are exposed. Fig.8, the contact terminal 700 of the embodiment of the invention is already riveted. When the chip 720 is inserted into the computer or telephone line connector 710, the break points 520a of the chip 720 are no longer exposed.

[0024] The above merely illustrates the best specific embodiments of the present invention, but the structural features of the present invention are not limited thereto. Any changes or modifications that can be readily imagined by anyone skilled in the art within the scope of the present invention may be covered by the scope of the following case.
