Description

La présente invention a pour objet un ensemble de connexion entre une carte mère et une carte fille.The subject of the present invention is a connection set between a motherboard and a card girl.

On connait de l'art antérieur un ensemble de connexion entre une carte mère et une carte fille, comprenant un premier connecteur comportant un premier corps isolant présentant des premiers éléments de contact dont une première extrémité est destinée à être insérée dans une carte mère ainsi qu'un deuxième connecteur comportant un deuxième corps isolant présentant des deuxièmes éléments de contact dont une première extrémité est destinée à coopérer avec une deuxième extrémité desdits éléments de contact correspondants et dont une deuxième extrémité est destinée à être insérée dans une carte fille, une face de connexion du premier et du deuxième corps isolant étant en vis-à-vis lorsque le premier et le deuxième connecteur sont connectés.We know from the prior art a set of connection between a motherboard and a daughterboard, comprising a first connector comprising a first insulating body having first elements of contact whose first end is intended to be inserted into a motherboard as well as a second connector comprising a second insulating body having second contact elements including one first end is intended to cooperate with a second end of said contact elements correspondents and a second end of which is intended to be inserted in a daughter card, one side of connection of the first and second insulating body being opposite when the first and the second connector are connected.

Un tel ensemble de connexion n'est utilisable que pour au plus deux épaisseurs différentes de carte fille. Il existe cependant des cartes de circuit imprimé de différentes épaisseurs, par exemple 1,6 mm, 2,4 mm, et 3,2 mm. Il n'est pas actuellement possible de traiter tous les cas possibles avec une seule largeur de connecteur, ce qui fait qu'une standardisation des modèles n'est pas possible, d'où des inconvénients dûs aux coûts de fabrication de connecteurs de largeurs différentes et au stockage de différents types de connecteurs, qui rendent peu intéressante l'utilisation de tels connecteurs pour des circuits imprimés d'épaisseur élevée (3,2 mm dans l'exemple ci-dessus). Such a connection set cannot be used only for at most two different card thicknesses girl. There are however circuit boards printed in different thicknesses, for example 1.6 mm, 2.4 mm, and 3.2 mm. It is not currently possible to treat all possible cases with a single connector width, so that a standardization of models is not possible, hence disadvantages due to the manufacturing costs of connectors of different widths and storage of different types of connectors, which make little interesting the use of such connectors for high thickness printed circuits (3.2 mm in the example above).

La demande de brevet EP-A-0 392 629 (Van Woensel) décrit un exemple d'ensemble de connexion selon l'art connu. Patent application EP-A-0 392 629 (Van Woensel) describes a example of connection assembly according to known art.

L'invention a pour objet un ensemble de connexion du type précité permettant de remédier à l'inconvénient précité.The subject of the invention is a set of connection of the aforementioned type making it possible to remedy the aforementioned drawback.

L'ensemble de connexion selon l'invention est dans ce but caractérisé en ce qu'il comporte un dispositif de calage destiné à maintenir une distance déterminée entre lesdites faces de connexion du premier et du deuxième corps isolants de telle sorte qu'une extrémité de la carte fille reste espacée du premier corps isolant, notamment pour conserver entre l'extrémité de la carte fille et le plan de pose de la carte mère, une distance égale à la dimension standard des connecteurs de l'art antérieur. Ladite extrémité de la carte fille est amincie. Ceci permet en particulier d'écarter le deuxième connecteur du premieur connecteur (mâle) de telle sorte que la première rangée de raccordement soit dans une partie non amincie de la carte fille.The connection assembly according to the invention is for this purpose characterized in that it comprises a wedging device for maintaining a distance determined between said connection faces of the first and the second insulating body so that a end of daughter board spaced first insulating body, in particular for keeping between the end of the daughter card and the installation plan of the motherboard, a distance equal to the standard dimension connectors of the prior art. Said end of the daughter card is thinned. This allows in particular to separate the second connector from the first connector (male) so that the first row of connection either in one part unthinned daughter card.

Une branche latérale du premier corps isolant présente à une extrémité distale un logement disposé sur sa face interne et destiné à recevoir ladite extrémité amincie, ladite distance étant telle que, lorsque le premier et le deuxième connecteur sont connectés, un bord de la carte fille soit situé à proximité immédiate de ladite extrémité distale. Une face latérale du deuxième corps isolant présente alors un moyen de maintien de ladite extrémité amincie de la carte fille.A lateral branch of the first insulating body has at a distal end a housing arranged on its face internal and intended to receive said end thinned, said distance being such that when the first and second connector are connected, an edge of the daughter card is located immediate proximity of said distal end. A side face of the second insulating body then has means for holding said end thinned out daughter card.

Selon un mode de réalisation avantageux, le dispositif de calage est également un élément de détrompage.According to an advantageous embodiment, the wedging device is also an element of foolproof.

Un dispositif de calage peut comporter une pièce rapportée sur au moins un dit corps isolant et/ou un élément en saillie faisant partie intégrante d'au moins une dite face de connexion.A timing device may include a patch on at least one said insulating body and / or a projecting element forming an integral part of minus a so-called connection face.

Un corps isolant, notamment le premier corps isolant, peut présenter une partie centrale et deux branches latérales, la face interne de la partie centrale constituant une dite face de connexion. An insulating body, in particular the first body insulator, can have a central part and two lateral branches, the inner side of the part central unit constituting a said connection face.

Ledit bord non aminci peut être situé à proximité immédiate d'une deuxième extrémité de dits éléments de connexion. On conserve ainsi une fixation efficace de la carte fille sur le deuxième corps isolant ce qui évite les contraintes sur les deuxièmes extrémités des deuxièmes éléments de connexion.Said unthinned edge can be located at immediate proximity of a second end of said connection elements. This keeps a fixation effective of the daughter card on the second body insulating which avoids the constraints on the second ends of the second connection elements.

D'autres avantages apparaítront à la lecture de la description d'un mode de réalisation de l'invention qui va suivre, donnée à titre d'exemple non limitatif, en liaison avec les dessins qui représentent:

  • la figure 1, un ensemble de connexion selon l'art antérieur;
  • la figure 2, un ensemble de connexion selon un mode préféré de réalisation de l'invention;
  • et les figures 3 et 4, un ensemble de connexion selon une variante de l'invention, respectivement en cours de connexion et après connexion.
Other advantages will appear on reading the description of an embodiment of the invention which follows, given by way of nonlimiting example, in conjunction with the drawings which represent:
  • Figure 1, a connection assembly according to the prior art;
  • Figure 2, a connection assembly according to a preferred embodiment of the invention;
  • and Figures 3 and 4, a connection assembly according to a variant of the invention, respectively during connection and after connection.

Selon la figure 1, un ensemble de connexion comporte un connecteur mâle 3 présentant un corps isolant 10 à profil en forme de U aplati et un connecteur femelle 5 présentant un corps central isolant 81. According to Figure 1, a connection assembly has a male connector 3 having a body insulator 10 with a flattened U-shaped profile and a female connector 5 having a central body insulator 81.

Le corps isolant 10 comprend une région centrale 11 et deux branches latérales 12 et 13, la branche référencée 12 comprenant des moyens de détrompage. Le région centrale 11 comporte une pluralité d'éléments de contact 60 présentant une région 61 solidaire de la région centrale 11,une région 63 insérée à force ("press-fit") dans la carte mère 1, et une région de contact mâle 62 dépassant d'une face de connexion 31 de la région centrale 11.The insulating body 10 includes a region central 11 and two lateral branches 12 and 13, the branch referenced 12 comprising means for foolproof. The central region 11 has a plurality of contact elements 60 having a region 61 united with the central region 11, a region 63 forcibly inserted ("press-fit") into motherboard 1, and a male contact region 62 projecting from one side connection 31 of the central region 11.

Le corps central isolant 81 présente des éléments de contact 85 présentant une région 83 de contact femelle disposée en retrait d'une face de connexion 41 et un raccordement 88 à insertion forcée ("press-fit") dans une carte fille 2. Les éléments 85 présentent une région coudée 87 disposée dans une zone arrière isolante 89 du corps isolant 81. Un pion de centrage et de maintien 20 porté par une face latérale 82 du corps isolant 81 permet de solaridariser une extrémité 25 de la carte fille 2 avec le corps central isolant 81. Un logement 16 situé à la partie distale 17 de la branche 12 permet de recevoir l'extrémité du pion 20.The insulating central body 81 has contact elements 85 having a region 83 of female contact set back from one face of connection 41 and connection 88 with forced insertion ("press-fit") in a daughter card 2. The elements 85 have a bent region 87 arranged in a zone insulating rear 89 of the insulating body 81. A pawn of centering and holding 20 carried by a lateral face 82 of the insulating body 81 allows to solarize a end 25 of daughter card 2 with central body insulator 81. A housing 16 located at the distal part 17 of branch 12 can receive the end of the pawn 20.

La figure 2 représente un ensemble de connexion qui permet, selon l'invention, la mise en oeuvre d'une carte fille 6 de plus grande épaisseur.Figure 2 shows a set of connection which allows, according to the invention, the setting in artwork of a daughter card 6 of greater thickness.

Une ou plusieurs rainures 42 du corps isolant 81 permettent de recevoir une cale d'épaisseur 40.One or more grooves 42 of the insulating body 81 allow to receive a shim of thickness 40.

Une cale d'épaisseur 40 rapportée est logée de manière amovible dans la région centrale 11 ou dans le corps central isolant 81 de telle sorte que, lorsque les connecteurs 3 et 5 sont assemblés les faces 31 et 41 soient espacées l'une de l'autre. Ceci permet de décaler longitudinalement les deux connecteurs assemblés 3 et 5 de telle sorte que l'extrémité 62 de la carte fille 6 soit espacée de l'extrémité distale 53 du bras 12. La position de l'extrémité 70 de la carte fille reste inchangée.An insert of thickness 40 added is housed removably in the central region 11 or in the central insulating body 81 so that when connectors 3 and 5 are assembled on faces 31 and 41 are spaced from each other. This allows offset the two connectors longitudinally assembled 3 and 5 so that the end 62 of daughter card 6 is spaced from distal end 53 of the arm 12. The position of the end 70 of the card girl remains unchanged.

Sur les dessins, l'extrémité 61 de la carte fille 6 est amincie. La partie proximale 63 de l'extrémité 61 se prolonge par un bord de raccordement 62 avec l'extrémité non amincie 66 de la carte fille 6. Cette extrémité 66 se situe au voisinage immédiat d'une rangée 89 de raccordements 88 et à proximité de l'extrémité 53 du bras 12. La cale d'épaisseur 40 permet ainsi de maintenir la rangée 89 de contacts 88 dans une région non amincie de la carte fille 6 et au plus près de l'extrémité distale (ici chanfreinée) de la branche 12.In the drawings, the end 61 of the card girl 6 is thinned. The proximal part 63 of the end 61 is extended by a connecting edge 62 with the unthinned end 66 of the daughter card 6. This end 66 is located in the immediate vicinity of a row 89 of connections 88 and close to the end 53 of the arm 12. The shim 40 thus allows to maintain the row 89 of contacts 88 in an unthinned region of the daughter card 6 and at closer to the distal end (here chamfered) of branch 12.

On notera en outre qu'il est préféré d'utiliser la cale d'épaisseur rapportée 40 également comme moyen de détrompage. Des éléments de détrompage rapportés sont connus, notamment de la demande de brevet européen EP-A-0392629 (Van Woensel) précitée. En outre, une telle cale est compatible avec les logements tels que 42 (fig. 2 à 4).Note also that it is preferred to use the shim of reported thickness 40 also as a means of coding. Keying elements are known, in particular from the request for European patent EP-A-0392629 (Van Woensel) cited above. In addition, a such wedge is compatible with housing such as 42 (fig. 2 to 4).

Une cale rapportée 40 permet d'adapter facilement un ensemble de connexion standard à toutes les épaisseurs de carte fille. En outre, comme indiqué ci-dessus, elle peut ou non remplir une fonction de détrompage, ce qui confère une grande souplesse d'utilisation à faible coût.An attached shim 40 makes it possible to adapt easily a standard connection set to all the thicknesses of the daughter card. Additionally, as noted above, it may or may not fulfill a function of keying, which gives great flexibility of use at low cost.

Selon les figures 3 et 4, la cale d'épaisseur 44 fait partie intégrante de la région centrale 11 (ou du corps central isolant 81). Dans ce cas, l'ensemble de connexion est en principe prévu pour une épaisseur maximale donnée de la carte fille 6. Il est cependant possible de mettre en oeuvre également une cale rapportée amovible pour réaliser une adaptation à d'autres épaisseurs de carte fille 6.According to Figures 3 and 4, the shim 44 is an integral part of central region 11 (or of the insulating central body 81). In this case, the whole connection is in principle provided for a thickness maximum given from daughter card 6. It is however possible to also use a shim removable insert to adapt to other daughter card thicknesses 6.

Selon les figures 1 à 4, on notera également que la distance entre le bord 70 de la carte 6 et le plan de pose 71 de la carte 1 est le même dans le cas de la figure 1 représentant l'art antérieur pour des épaisseurs de carte 2 allant jusqu'à 2,4 mm, et des figures 2 à 4 représentant un système de connexion pour une carte 6 d'épaisseur 3,2 mm.According to Figures 1 to 4, we will also note that the distance between the edge 70 of the card 6 and the installation plan 71 of card 1 is the same in the case of Figure 1 representing the prior art for card thicknesses 2 up to 2.4 mm, and Figures 2 to 4 showing a connection system for a card 6 with a thickness of 3.2 mm.
