Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a high contact density microconnector. It applies in particular to the connection between the electrodes of a flat screen, a liquid crystal display for example, and an electronic control device, by means of an electric circuit, the latter being obtainable, so known in the state of the art, by etching, depositing or screen printing, on a support which can be flexible or rigid.
  • Connectors which make it possible to produce aligned contacts and which consist of a plurality of male plugs associated with female plugs.
  • Such connectors in their application to the connection of the electrodes of a flat screen envisaged above, have the drawback of allowing only a low density of contacts, that is to say at best a few tens of contacts separated from each other by a distance of about 1.3 mm.
  • the object of the present invention is to remedy this drawback.
  • Document DE-A-1 440 198 already discloses a connector for establishing contacts with printed circuit boards.
  • the connector comprises a row of contact springs immobilized in a body. This body is fixed between two plates between which we introduce the printed circuit that we want to connect to the contact springs.
  • the upper plate is provided with a pressure element which presses on the contact springs by means of a thin insulating sheet fixed to the body, above the contact springs. An electrical connection can then be established between them and the printed circuit.
  • the electrodes can for example form a row of parallel electrodes, arranged in relation to each other in a certain pattern and the wires are then fixed on said movable part so as to form a row of parallel wires arranged in relation to each other. following the same pattern.
  • the spacings P i ,? 2, ..., PN-1 can be different from each other.
  • the spacings P i , P 2 , ..., 1 PN-1 are equal: in this case, the electrodes are equidistant from each other at a given pitch and the wires are then equidistant from each other following said step.
  • the microconnector which is the subject of the invention thus makes it possible to simultaneously produce a number N of contacts, of the order of 300 to 400, or even more, using flexible and elastic metallic wires of the order of 50 ⁇ m to 200 ⁇ m in diameter. , spaced from each other at a pitch of the order of 100 to 700 ⁇ m, for example of the order of 300 ⁇ m, which is very advantageous as regards for example liquid crystal displays.
  • the wires are made of an alloy of copper and beryllium.
  • Such wires are commercially available and are used as is, with possible curvature near one of their ends. This therefore eliminates any intermediate contact part, preformed and prefabricated, the wires themselves serving to make the contacts and improving them, due to their flexibility and elasticity.
  • the electrodes are arranged in several parallel rows and staggered on electrically insulating substrates and the wires are also fixed to the part in as many parallel and superimposed rows.
  • the electrodes are arranged parallel to one another on the same electrically insulating substrate and form a periodic series of electrodes longitudinally offset with respect to each other and the wires are also fixed on the part so as to forming a periodic series of parallel conductors, stepped, transversely and longitudinally offset from each other.
  • said support is hollow and said electrical conductors are other electrodes arranged on an electrically insulating plate carrying at least one electronic microcomponent and housed in the hollow support, said other electrodes being connected to the electronic microcomponent.
  • said wires are directly connected to said other electrodes.
  • the means for moving the part consist of an eccentric mounted to rotate on the support and designed to press on the part so as to make the contacts between the electrodes and the wires.
  • the microconnector which is the subject of the invention also comprises elastic means capable of exerting on the part a force tending to spread the wires of the electrodes.
  • the part is also movable perpendicular to the electrodes when the latter are in place in said support, so as to be able to adjust the position of the wires with respect to the electrodes.
  • the microconnector further comprises a stop fixed to the part and capable of preventing any contact between the wires and the substrate when the wires are in the connection position and the substrate strikes the stop.
  • FIG 1 there is shown schematically a particular embodiment of the microconnector object of the invention, used for example to connect a liquid crystal display 2, to an electronic control device 3, via a circuit flexible 4 known in the prior art and provided with parallel electrical conductors 5.
  • the liquid crystal display 2 comprises, in known manner, a lower glass plate 6 and an upper glass plate 7 between which the crystals are found liquids.
  • One of the ends 6a of the lower glass plate 6 is offset relative to the upper plate 7 so as to protrude from the latter, and carries on its upper surface a row of parallel electrodes 8, equidistant from each other following a given step.
  • These electrodes are for example made of indium oxide.
  • the number of electrical conductors 5 of the flexible circuit 4 is equal to the number of electrodes 8.
  • the microconnector according to the invention essentially comprises a set of electrically conductive wires 9, flexible and elastic, a part 10 electrically insulating to make them integral with each other, and means 11 making it possible to press on the part 10 so as to produce a contact between the electrodes 8 of the display 2 and the flexible and elastic wires 9.
  • the latter are for example constituted by commercially available bare wires, made of an alloy of copper and beryllium and whose diameter is of the order of 125 ⁇ m for example.
  • the number of wires 9 is equal to the number of electrodes 8 and these wires 9 are respectively welded to the electrical conductors 5 of the flexible circuit 4, for example in Sn / Pb reflow. (In FIG. 4, a weld 5a is seen between one of the wires 9 and the associated conductor 5.)

  • the part 10 can also be produced by molding a plastic material directly around the wires 9 without then having to make transverse grooves.
  • the bar 10 and the wires 9 thus form a sort of comb, the teeth of which consist of the wires 9.
  • the edges 6b of the end 6a of the lower plate 6, which frame the row of electrodes 8, are respectively embedded in two walls 12 of a hollow support or housing 13, these two walls being opposite one another. (In FIG. 1, only one of these walls 12 is shown.)
  • the electrical conductors 5 are of course electrically isolated from each other and stored side by side in the flexible circuit 4 which can thus have a planar shape.
  • the flexible circuit 4 has, in known manner, an electrically insulating face 4a.
  • the support 13 has an edge 14 which is located between the two walls 12, which dominates the lower plate 6 embedded in the walls 12 and which faces this lower plate 6.
  • the end 15 of the circuit flexible 4, which is extended by the wires 9, is placed on the edge 14, so that the electrically insulating face 4a of the flexible circuit 4 rests against this edge 14 and the strip 10 is located in the space 16 inside the support hollow 13 and included between the two walls 12, and is parallel to the row of electrodes 8. (The space between the two walls 12 is of course adapted to the size of the bar 10.)

  • Screws 20 make it possible to fix the cover 18 to the walls 12 of the support 13.
  • Other screws 21 pass through the cover 18, are respectively screwed into the walls 12 of the support 13 and pass through these walls so as to press against the end 6a of the lower plate 6 which is offset with respect to the upper plate 7, to keep the lower plate 6 in position in the support 13.
  • These other screws 21 are advantageously made of a plastic material such as that which is known by the name of TEFLON (registered trademark) so as not to damage the lower glass plate 6.
  • the edge of the cover 18, which is located above the wires 9, has a recess 22 which makes it possible to observe at least one of the two ends of the row of wires 9.
  • the mounting of the microconnector according to the invention is then carried out as follows (FIG. 2): the lower plate 6 of the liquid crystal display is embedded in the support 13; the insulating face 4a of the end 15 of the flexible circuit 4, the end which is extended by the wires 9 made rigidly secured to each other by the bar 10, is placed on the edge 14 of the support 13, so that the bar 10 receives over the eccentric 11 and that each wire 9 is located substantially above the electrode 8 which is associated with it; the cover 18 is put in place and screwed onto the support 13 using the screws 20.
