Technical Field

The present disclosure relates to an electrical connector assembly and a base thereof, and more particularly, to an electrical connector assembly and a base thereof capable of realizing non-directional docking.

Background

With the increasing market demand for high-speed cables and the increasing transmission rate, the more important the mating connectors are, and the requirements for connectors with different interfaces are also stricter. The structure of the contact interface determines the electrical and mechanical properties of the connector, such as resistance, insertion force and durability. However, in the connector assembly, the connector and the base thereof are connected in a specific direction, and the user can assemble the connector only according to the installation direction.

If the plugging is wrong, the pins of the connector are damaged if the plugging is wrong, and the pins of the connector are reimbursed if the plugging is wrong. Therefore, in order to avoid the problem that the connector assembly cannot operate normally due to the occurrence of a plugging error by a user, or to allow a designer to perform circuit layout without limitation, a connector assembly without directional limitation between the connector and the base thereof is needed to solve the above-mentioned problems.

Accordingly, there is a need for an electrical connector assembly and a base thereof to solve the problems of the prior art.

Please continue to refer to fig. 1-5. The terminal member is disposed between the upper insulating housing 110 and the lower insulating housing 120, and in the perspective view shown in fig. 2, the upper insulating housing 110 of the electrical connector 100 is removed, so that the disposition of the internal terminal member can be clearly seen. The terminal member includes a first pole conductive terminal 130, a second pole conductive terminal 140, and a third pole conductive terminal 150. As shown in fig. 3, the first pole conductive terminal 130 has a first elastic piece portion 131 and a first connecting portion 132, and the first elastic piece portion 131 is disposed corresponding to the first insertion hole 111a of the upper insulating housing 110.

111a, 111b, and 111c of the upper insulating housing 110 and contact the first elastic piece portion 131, the second elastic piece portion 141, and the third elastic piece portion 151.

Specifically, the structure or number of the terminal members, and the corresponding use in practice, and the manner in which the terminal members are fixed between the upper insulating housing 110 and the lower insulating housing 120 are not limited thereto. Taking this embodiment as an example, the first pole conductive terminal 130 is electrically connected to the ground line, the second pole conductive terminal 140 is electrically connected to the live line, and the third pole conductive terminal 150 is electrically connected to the neutral line. However, in some embodiments, the terminal members have different structures according to different specifications of the socket or different pins of the electronic device to be connected, and the way of fixing the terminal members between the upper insulating housing 110 and the lower insulating housing 120 is adjusted accordingly.

The conductor member is disposed through the lower insulating housing 120 and includes a central conductor 160, an inner conductor 170, and an outer conductor 180. As shown in fig. 3, the central conductor 160 is electrically connected to the first connecting portion 132 of the first pole conductive terminal 130, and has a central fixing portion 161 and a central contact portion 162, wherein the central fixing portion 161 fixes the central conductor 160 to the lower insulating housing 120. The inner conductor 170 is electrically connected to the second connecting portion 142 of the second pole conductive terminal 140, and has an inner fixing portion 171 and an inner contact portion 172, wherein the inner fixing portion 171 fixes the inner conductor 170 to the lower insulating housing 120. The external conductor 180 is electrically connected to the third connecting portion 152 of the third pole conductive terminal 150, and has an external fixing portion 181 and an external contact portion 182, wherein the external fixing portion 181 fixes the external conductor 180 to the lower insulating housing 120. The way in which the conductor member is fixed to the lower insulating housing 120 is not limited herein.

The terminal member and the conductor member may be in direct contact, soldered contact, or screw-lock contact to electrically connect with each other. However, in some embodiments, the electrical connection may be non-contact, or alternatively, the conductor members and the corresponding terminal members are integrally formed, disposed between the upper insulating housing 110 and the lower insulating housing 120, and penetrate through the lower insulating housing 120.

Referring to fig. 4 and 5, the center contact portion 162 of the center conductor 160, the inner contact portion 172 of the inner conductor 170, and the outer contact portion 182 of the outer conductor 180 are sequentially disposed outside the lower insulating housing 120 from inside to outside. As shown in fig. 5, the contact portion of the lower insulating housing 120 is a concentric three-ring structure from inside to outside, but the shape of the contact portion is not limited herein, that is, the center 162c of the central contact portion 162, the center of the inner contact portion 172 and the center of the outer contact portion 182 are overlapped. The central contact portion 162, the internal contact portion 172 and the external contact portion 182 are X-axis symmetric and Y-axis symmetric, so the shape may be circular, square or other regular polygon with the number of sides being a multiple of four, and the shapes and the numbers of sides of the central contact portion 162, the internal contact portion 172 and the external contact portion 182 may be different from each other. For example, the center contact 162 may be a regular octagon, and both the inner contact 172 and the outer contact 182 may be a regular octagon, as shown in fig. 121; alternatively, the center contact 162 is square, the inner contact 172 is octagonal, and the outer contact 182 is square, as shown in fig. 122. Alternatively, the center contact 162 is circular, the inner contact 172 is square, and the outer contact 182 is octagonal, as shown in fig. 123.

In detail, the contact portions may be arranged in a discontinuous ring shape, and it is only necessary to conform to the connected pattern, which is also X-axis symmetric and Y-axis symmetric, and the distances from the center point of each of the inner contact portion 172 and the outer contact portion 182 are the same. For example, the central contact portion 162 may be circular, and the inner contact portion 172 and the outer contact portion 182 may be circular, but the

contact portions

172a, 172B, 172c, 172d of the inner contact portion 172 are not connected to each other, and the

contact portions

182a, 182B, 182c, 182d of the outer contact portion 182 are not connected to each other, as shown in fig. 119A and 119B. Alternatively, the central contact portion 162 is square, and the inner contact portion 172 and the outer contact portion 182 are both square, but the

contact portions

182a, 182B, 182c, 182d of the outer contact portion 182 are not connected to each other, as shown in fig. 120A and 120B. And the number of the contacts in the inner contact 172 and the outer contact 182 is not limited. Although the contact portions are not completely circular or regular polygonal in structure from the bottom view, the electrical connectors 100 can simultaneously conform to the corresponding standard of the base or other electronic devices to realize non-directional docking no matter whether the contact portions are continuous patterns or not as long as the positions of the patterns connected by the contact portions are the same, which not only facilitates operation, but also greatly improves flexibility in circuit layout.

Referring to fig. 6, fig. 6 is a schematic perspective view illustrating a second embodiment of the electrical connector 100 according to the present disclosure. The lower insulating housing 120 further includes an extension portion 121 disposed outside the outer contact portion 182 of the outer conductor 180, between the center contact portion 162 of the center conductor 160 and the inner contact portion 172 of the inner conductor 170, and between the inner contact portion 172 of the inner conductor 170 and the outer contact portion 182 of the outer conductor 180. The extension 121 contacts the inner contact 172, the center contact 162, and the outer contact 182. The extension 121 can form an insulation shield when the electrical connector 100 is assembled with its base or mated with other electronic devices, so as to ensure that the electrical connector 100 maintains a certain performance in transmission. The number of the extending portions 121 is not limited, and the shape of the extending portions can be adjusted according to the specification of the conductor member.

Referring to fig. 7, fig. 7 is a schematic perspective view illustrating a third embodiment of the electrical connector 100 according to the present disclosure. Unlike fig. 6, the extension part 121 of fig. 7 does not contact the inner contact part 172, the center contact part 162, and the outer contact part 182, but maintains a distance from the inner contact part 172, the center contact part 162, and the outer contact part 182.

Referring to fig. 8A to 8D, fig. 8A is a schematic perspective view illustrating a base 200 according to a first embodiment of the disclosure. Fig. 8B illustrates a top view of fig. 8A. Fig. 8C isbase:Sub>A cross-sectional view taken along linebase:Sub>A-base:Sub>A' of fig. 8B. Fig. 8D is an exploded view of the first embodiment of the base 200.

The second insulating housing 220 is disposed under the first insulating housing 210 and connected to the first insulating housing 210 to form a cavity for accommodating the conductor member. In this embodiment, the first insulating housing 210 of the base 200 is provided with two sets of sockets 211, but the number of the sets of sockets 211 is not limited thereto. Further, the arrangement of the groups of sockets 211 is not limited herein.

The conductor member is disposed between the first insulating housing 210 and the second insulating housing 220, and includes a first conductor 230, a second conductor 240, and a third conductor 250.

The present disclosure also discloses an electrical connector assembly 10, which includes an electrical connector 100 and a base 200. When the electrical connector 100 is assembled with the base 200, the central contact portion 162 of the central conductor 160 passes through the socket 211 of the first insulating housing 210 corresponding to the first conductor 230 and is electrically connected to the first butting portion 231, the inner contact portion 172 of the inner conductor 170 passes through the socket 211 of the first insulating housing 210 corresponding to the second conductor 240 and is electrically connected to the second butting portion 241, and the outer contact portion 182 of the outer conductor 180 passes through the socket 211 of the first insulating housing 210 corresponding to the third conductor 250 and is electrically connected to the third butting portion 251. In order to electrically connect with the electrical connector 100, the contact surface of the mating portion of the conductive member disposed in the base 200 is exposed from the socket 211 of the first insulating housing 210, so as to directly contact with the contact portion of the electrical connector 100 for electrical connection.

As shown in fig. 8D, the base 200 further includes a spacer 260 disposed between the first conductor 230 and the second conductor 240 to form an insulation shield, so that the base 200 can maintain a certain performance in transmission and has a longer service life. Similarly, the structure and the fixing manner of the spacer 260 and the assembly manner between the spacer and the first conductor 230 and the second conductor 240 are not limited herein.

As shown in fig. 8B and 8C, the second butting portion 241 of the second conductor 240 has a second contact surface 2411 and is provided corresponding to the socket 211 corresponding to the second conductor 240, and the third butting portion 251 of the third conductor 250 has a third contact surface 2511 and is provided corresponding to the socket 211 corresponding to the third conductor 250. In this embodiment, when the first conductor 230 is taken as the center, the second contact surface 2411 is exposed outward, i.e., in a direction away from the center of the first conductor 230, and the third contact surface 2511 is also outward.

Please refer to fig. 9A and 9B. FIG. 9A shows a top view of a second embodiment of the base 200 of the present disclosure, and FIG. 9B is a cross-sectional view taken along line B-B' of FIG. 9A.

When the contact surfaces face inward, only part of the abutting portions, i.e., the second contact surface 2411 of the second conductor 240 and the third contact surface 2511 of the third conductor 250, are exposed, so that the first insulating housing 210 itself is used to protect the conductor members and achieve the purpose of electrical connection with the electrical connector 100.

The electrical connector 100 shown in fig. 6 can be inserted into the base 200 shown in fig. 8A-11A, respectively.

Please refer to fig. 12A, fig. 12B, fig. 13A, fig. 13B, fig. 14A, fig. 14B, fig. 15A and fig. 15B. FIG. 12A is a top view of a fifth embodiment of the base 200 of the present disclosure, and FIG. 12B is a cross-sectional view taken along line E-E' of FIG. 12A. FIG. 13A is a top view of a sixth embodiment of the base 200 of the present disclosure, and FIG. 13B is a cross-sectional view taken along line F-F' of FIG. 13A. FIG. 14A is a top view of a seventh embodiment of the base 200 of the present disclosure, and FIG. 14B is a cross-sectional view taken along line G-G' of FIG. 14A. FIG. 15A is a top view of the eighth embodiment of the base 200 of the present disclosure, and FIG. 15B is a cross-sectional view taken along line H-H' of FIG. 15A. Unlike the base 200 of fig. 8A, 8B, 9A, 9B, 10A, 10B, 11A and 11B, the electrical connector 100 shown in fig. 7 can be inserted into the base 200 illustrated in fig. 12A, 12B, 13A, 13B, 14A, 14B, 15A and 15B.

Referring to fig. 16 to 23, fig. 16 to 23 are sectional views respectively illustrating first to eighth embodiments of the electrical connector assembly 10 according to the present disclosure. Fig. 16 to 19 show the first embodiment (provided with the extension 121) of the electrical connector 100 illustrated in fig. 6, the docking base 200 is the first to fourth embodiments of the base 200, respectively, fig. 20 to 23 show the second embodiment (provided with the extension 121) of the electrical connector 100 illustrated in fig. 7, and the docking base 200 is the fifth to eighth embodiments of the base 200, respectively, since the structures of the electrical connector 100 and the base 200 are as described above, the description is omitted here, and the reference numerals of the components not mentioned in the following text are omitted. As can be seen from fig. 16 to 23, the central conductor 160 of the electrical connector 100 is in a cylindrical shape, and when assembled, the central contact portion 162 passes through the receptacle 211 correspondingly disposed on the first conductor 230 in the first insulating housing 210, and directly contacts with the first butt-connection portion 231 of the first conductor 230, and the first butt-connection portion 231 in a spring shape directly contacts with the central contact portion 162 to form an electrical connection. Meanwhile, the inner contact portion 172 and the outer contact portion 182 pass through the sockets 211 corresponding to the second conductor 240 and the third conductor 250, respectively, and if the second contact surface 2411 or the third contact surface 2511 faces inward, the inner contact portion 172 or the outer contact portion 182 directly contacts the outer side wall. If the second contact surface 2411 or the third contact surface 2511 is directed outward, it will directly contact the inner side wall of the inner contact portion 172 or the outer contact portion 182.

When the electrical connector 100 is assembled with the base 200, due to the structure of the first insulating housing 210, when the second contact surface 2411 and the third contact surface 2511 face the central direction, the second abutting portion 241 and the third abutting portion 251 in the shape of the elastic sheet are only exposed out of the second contact surface 2411 and the third contact surface 2511 in the corresponding insertion hole 211, and this structure has the function of protecting the abutting portion from lateral stress, so as to prevent the conductor member of the base 200 from being deformed due to excessive compression when the electrical connector 100 is repeatedly inserted, and thus the service life of the base 200 can be prolonged.

Furthermore, when the electrical connector 100 provided with the extension portion 121 is mated with the base 200, under the premise that the length of the conductor member is not changed (compared with the first embodiment of the electrical connector 100), since the extension portion 121 is additionally provided on the lower insulating housing 120, the portion of the conductor member inserted into the first insulating housing 210 is relatively reduced, and the area of the central contact portion 162, the inner contact portion 172, and the outer contact portion 182 in direct contact with the first mating portion 231, the second mating portion 241, and the third mating portion 251 that are mated is reduced, as shown in fig. 16 to 20, the first mating portion 231, the second mating portion 241, and the third mating portion are only in direct contact with the front edges of the central contact portion 162, the inner contact portion 172, and the outer contact portion 182, respectively, but as long as there is a sufficient contact area between the conductor member of the electrical connector 100 and the conductor member of the base 200, the electrical connection can be realized. Such a contact substantially reduces lateral forces on the mating portion and further extends the useful life of the electrical connector assembly 10.

The contact portions of the electrical connector 100 are somewhat deformed in structure, and the shapes and the number of sides of the center contact portion 162, the inner contact portion 172, and the outer contact portion 182 may be different from each other. Therefore, the shapes of the sockets 211 corresponding to the bases 200 assembled with the electrical connector 100 of these embodiments are different. For example, if the socket 211 into which the central conductor 160 is inserted is square, the outer sidewall of the socket 211 into which the inner conductor 170 is inserted is square, the inner sidewall is circular, the outer sidewall of the socket 211 into which the outer conductor 180 is inserted is square, and the inner sidewall is circular. In this case, the base 200 with the sub-structure design can accommodate the electrical connector 100 with the contact portion being circular or square, so that the degree of freedom of circuit layout is higher.

The internal conductor 340 has an internal elastic piece portion 341, an internal fixing portion 342 and an internal abutting portion 343, the internal elastic piece portion 341 is disposed corresponding to the insertion hole 311 of the upper insulating housing 310, the internal fixing portion 342 fixes the internal conductor 340 between the upper insulating housing 310 and the lower insulating housing 320, and the internal abutting portion 343 is disposed corresponding to the insertion groove of the lower insulating housing 320. The external conductor 350 includes an external spring portion 351, an external fixing portion 352, and an external abutting portion 353, wherein the external spring portion 351 is disposed corresponding to the insertion hole 311 of the upper insulating housing 310, the external fixing portion 352 fixes the external conductor 350 between the upper insulating housing 310 and the lower insulating housing 320, and the external abutting portion 353 is disposed corresponding to the insertion groove of the lower insulating housing 320. The size of the conductor member and the manner of fixing between the upper insulating housing 310 and the lower insulating housing 320 are not limited herein.

The center butting portion 333 of the center conductor 330, the inner butting portion 343 of the inner conductor 340, and the outer butting portion 353 of the outer conductor 350 are disposed outside the lower insulating case 320 in this order from inside to outside. The lower insulating housing 320 further includes a first protrusion 321 and a second protrusion 322. The first protrusion 321 is disposed between the center abutment 333 of the center conductor 330 and the inner abutment 343 of the inner conductor 340 to form the center abutment slot 323, and the second protrusion 322 is disposed between the inner abutment 343 of the inner conductor 340 and the outer abutment 353 of the outer conductor 350 to form the inner abutment slot 324.

Referring to fig. 26A and 26B, a sixth embodiment of an electrical connector 300 according to the present disclosure is shown. Unlike the embodiment shown in fig. 24A, the lower insulating housing 320 further includes a third protrusion 325 disposed outside the external connection portion 353 of the external conductor 350 to form an external connection slot 326. The lower insulating housing 320 protects the conductive members by the first protrusion 321, the second protrusion 322 and the third protrusion 325, so that the front ends of the mating portions of the conductive members are not directly pressed while the electrical connector 300 is repeatedly inserted and removed. Specifically, only the front end elastic sheet-shaped portion of the conductor member is exposed to the slot provided in the lower insulating housing 320, and when the front end elastic sheet-shaped portion is exposed in a direction away from the central conductor 330 with the central conductor 330 as a center, the contact surface is regarded as facing outward. Conversely, the contact surface is considered to face inward when exposed in a direction closer to the center conductor 330.
