Background
The transmission sheet adopted by the existing electric connector comprises a terminal, a plastic body and a metal shielding sheet arranged on one side of the plastic body. The metal shielding sheet is folded to contact with the grounding terminal in order to be communicated with the grounding terminal and be grounded, so that a plurality of holes are added on the metal shielding sheet, and the holes can indirectly influence the discontinuity of impedance, so that the shielding effect is reduced. Meanwhile, under the current requirements on high-density, miniaturized and high-speed connectors, the mechanism space is very small, and the feasibility of the bending, chamfering, cutting, forming and other processes of the metal shielding sheet also becomes a great test.

The invention provides a transmission sheet of an electric connector, which comprises: an insulating frame; a plurality of terminals arranged in a row and fixed to the insulating frame; and a shield disposed at one side of the insulating frame; wherein the shield includes: a metal plate; a plastic plate covering the metal plate; and the conductive layer at least covers the plastic board. The arrangement that the shielding part combines the plastic plate and the metal plate ensures that the shielding part has the rigidity of metal and the plasticity of plastic, thereby increasing the applicability of structural application.
Further, the conductive layer is disposed to surround the plastic board and the metal board.
Further, the metal plate is disposed between the insulating frame and the plastic plate.
Further, the plurality of terminals arranged in a column includes a plurality of ground terminals and a plurality of differential signal terminal pairs, and the shield is electrically connected to the plurality of ground terminals. By such an arrangement, the connection of the shield with the ground terminal is achieved, thereby forming a common ground for obtaining a better shielding effect.
Further, the shield is electrically connected to the plurality of ground terminals through a plurality of inner arms extending from the metal plate while being bent.
Further, the plastic plate has a first plastic plate portion and a second plastic plate portion with a reduced thickness, a plurality of first protrusions protrude from a side surface of the second plastic plate portion, and the plurality of first protrusions are respectively inserted into the plurality of openings penetrating through the metal plate, so that the plastic plate and the metal plate are fixed together.
Further, the difference between the thicknesses of the first part of the plastic plate and the second part of the plastic plate is equal to the thickness of the metal plate.
Further, the protruding height of the first protrusion from the second portion of the plastic plate is greater than or equal to the thickness of the metal plate. By such an arrangement, the opening on the metal plate is completely filled with the first convex portion of the plastic plate and the first convex portion can be protruded to be flush with the surface of the metal plate, thereby ensuring continuity of impedance and improving shielding effect.
Further, the plastic plate is also provided with a second convex part protruding from one side surface of the first part of the plastic plate, so that the first part of the plastic plate is locally thickened, wherein the protruding direction of the second convex part is the same as that of the first convex part. By such an arrangement, a mechanism of unequal material thickness can be formed to control the impedance, thereby eliminating the disadvantage of the equal material thickness of conventional metal shield sheets. Furthermore, with such an arrangement, assembly problems with plastics that are too thin can be avoided.
Further, a third protrusion is formed on the other opposite side surface of the plastic plate for electrical connection with the ground terminal of the adjacent transmission sheet, wherein the protruding direction of the third protrusion is opposite to the protruding direction of the first protrusion. By the arrangement, the characteristic that the shielding piece is easy to shape is utilized, and the convex part extends out of the position corresponding to the grounding terminal to realize common grounding, so that the design freedom degree is improved, and the Signal Integrity (SI) performance is enhanced.
Further, the conductive layer is a metal plating layer.
Further, the plastic plate is fixed on the metal plate in an injection molding mode.

As shown in fig. 2, the transmission pieces 2 are inserted into the insertion portion 11 of the housing 1 and fastened to two positioning plates 12 of the housing 1.
As shown in fig. 3, the transmission sheet 2 of the present invention includes an insulating frame 21; a plurality of terminals (which, as described below, include a ground terminal 22 and a pair of differential signal terminals 23) fixed in an array on an insulating frame 21; and a shield 20' provided on one side of the insulating frame 21. As shown in fig. 4, the shield 20 includes a metal plate 24; a plastic plate 25, wherein the plastic plate 25 covers the metal plate 24; and a conductive layer 26, wherein the conductive layer 26 at least covers the plastic plate 25. For ease of illustration, only the conductive layer 26 is shown in fig. 5, and omitted in other drawings.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 5, a conductive layer 26 is provided to surround the plastic plate 25 and the metal plate 24 to form the above-described shield. In addition, as shown in fig. 3 to 5, the metal plate 24 is disposed between the insulating frame 21 and the plastic plate 25.
