Description

Connector with different spacing of signal terminals and ground terminals and having ribs

The present invention relates to a connector, in particular, a spacing between adjacent two signal terminals, which is smaller than the spacing between adjacent signal terminals and ground terminals, and a connector having ribs adjacent to the ground terminals.

Button, the connector refers to all connected components and their accessories on the electronic signal and power supply. It is a bridge for all signals. Its quality will affect the reliability of current and signal transmission, and also with electronics. The operation of the device is closely related. Generally speaking, various types of connectors have been provided on various electronic devices (such as smart phones, tablets, desktop computers, notebook computers, digital cameras, etc.) so that various electronic devices can By exchanging data, it is known that the connector can make electrical connections and signal transmission between the device and the device, components and components, and the system and the system, and is a basic component required to form a complete system.

According to the research, in the past ten years, for many Taiwanese manufacturers entering the connector industry, the connector industry is still a lucrative industry relative to other component industries. The main reason is that In the connector industry, the technology used in high- and low-order connector products is quite different. The aforementioned features make the positioning of related products between international manufacturers and Taiwanese manufacturers extremely clear and clear. In addition, due to the international The various connector products that are commissioned for manufacturing are required to have a wide range of application capabilities. This demanding product requirement, It also forced Taiwanese manufacturers who accepted commissioned commissions to have different specialization projects, thus avoiding the subsequent competition of the Red Sea (Chinese related manufacturers).

However, as early as in the decade since 2008, Taiwanese manufacturers who used connectors as their main products have experienced and experienced an industrial crisis. Therefore, many Taiwanese manufacturers at the time clearly recognized that they only rely on the PC industry and are extremely vulnerable to PCs. The industry is sluggish, the barriers to entry are too low, and the industry is fiercely competitive, leading to a survival crisis that cannot continue to operate. Therefore, many Taiwanese manufacturers have adjusted their business strategies and adjusted accordingly. They can use the strategy of multi-transformation to cover the application of connector products to communication or consumer electronic products, such as mobile phones and game consoles... In this way, Taiwanese manufacturers who have relied heavily on connectors for computers and their peripheral devices have turned to the development and production of various consumer electronic products, displays, etc. in recent years. Base connector.

However, as mentioned above, the 2008 financial turmoil has broken the industry tacit understanding that many operators have long followed in the connector industry in Taiwan, such as the US, European and Japanese manufacturers that originally produced high-end or high-end technology connectors. Under the reality of the growing shortage of profits, the consideration began to produce low-end connectors, which seriously invaded the main product line that Taiwan connector manufacturers have mastered for many years. In response to this change in situation, Taiwan connector manufacturers must speed up. Step by step, and add a new strategy to take into account the points and aspects that have not been reviewed in the past, and to explore, develop and improve the various characteristics of the connector to provide better connector products in the industry, so that it is sufficient in the market. To have a role to play.

For example, the connector acts as an important communication bridge between complex electronic devices, and its influence on the quality and speed of transmission signals is also receiving more and more attention. Taking data transmission as an example, the maximum transmission speed of early USB 1.0 is 12Mbps, and the evolution rate is USB 2.0 maximum transfer speed At 480 Mbps, after USB 3.0 (Super Speed USB) is upgraded to 5 Gbps, even USB 3.1 Gen 2 directly increases the transmission speed to 10 Gbps to meet the demand for high-speed transmission. In view of this, how to improve the high-frequency transmission performance of the connector while ensuring a good structure of the connector is a major topic for the author.

In order to stand out in a highly competitive market, the creators have been working hard for a long time with the rich practical experience of designing, processing and manufacturing various power supply or signal connectors for many years, and adhering to the spirit of excellence in research. After the experiment, we finally developed a connector with different spacing of signal terminals and grounding terminals and ribs. With the advent of this creation, the connector can effectively improve the ability to transmit high-frequency signals and make connections. The overall architecture of the device is more stable to provide users with better experience.

One of the purposes of the present invention is to provide a connector having a signal terminal and a grounding terminal of different pitches and having a rib, comprising an insulating body and a plurality of terminal groups, wherein the insulating body is provided with a connecting portion to enable the A first receiving space and a second receiving space are formed in the insulating body, and the first receiving space and the second receiving space are in communication with each other, and the terminal groups are respectively fixed in the insulating body, and part of the terminal group is The first receiving space is exposed at the front end, and the front end of the remaining terminal groups exposes the second receiving space. Further, the rear ends of the terminal groups are extended from the rear end of the insulating body, wherein each of the terminal groups The second signal terminal and a ground terminal are included, and the two signals are adjacent to each other. The connector is characterized in that the signal terminal in the middle of the terminal group has a minimum separation distance from the other signal terminal. a minimum spacing distance from the grounding terminal, and adjacent to each of the grounding terminals, a plurality of ribs connected to the connecting portion are provided, such that The spacing between the terminal and the ground terminal from the number The change from the change can achieve the purpose of better high-frequency transmission performance. At the same time, through the structure of the ribs, the structure of the insulating body can be effectively maintained, and it is not easy to be deformed by external force during production or assembly. .

Another purpose of the present invention is that each of the signal terminals and each of the ground terminals has a width greater than a width of a front portion thereof, so that the front portions of the signal terminals and the ground terminals are more easily bent into arcs. shape.

A further object of the present invention is that the ground terminals of the adjacent terminal groups in the accommodating spaces are not adjacent to each other.
