Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for connecting a coaxial cable to a printed circuit board.
  • the electrical connection between the coaxial cable and the card is then obtained by coupling the two connector elements.
  • a device for connecting a coaxial cable to a circuit board print comprising a frustoconical body capable of being fixed by crimping to the end of a coaxial cable and comprising means for contacting the central core of the coaxial cable and respectively to the external braid thereof, said contact means, constituted by helical windings with extensions capable of being fixed on a card printed circuit board.
  • the present invention aims to provide a device for connecting a coaxial cable to a printed circuit board, without soldering operations, using a reduced number of easy to manufacture and assemble parts to ensure cable connection to the board.
  • the body is made in two complementary parts each comprising a half-housing for the end of the coaxial cable, the two parts being able to close on said end of the coaxial cable to submit to it.
  • each pawn of contact comprises, opposite its external end projecting from the connection face, one end internal to the body opening into the housing, each internal end being arranged so that the core, respectively the outer braid, of the coaxial cable enters contact with the pin when the coaxial cable is put in place with its bare end in the housing of the body.
  • the contact pins are produced by compaction of very small diameter metal wires, for example 0.01 mm diameter molybdenum wires.
  • the means fixing consists of a base adapted to receive the body and to hold it by snap-fastening with its connection face against the printed circuit board.
  • This base is advantageously provided with studs capable of penetrate forcefully into holes made for this purpose in the printed circuit board.
  • the device shown in the drawing comprises a body 1 of general parallelepiped shape and a base 2 constituting, at sense of the invention, a means of fixing the body to a card printed circuit 3.
  • the body 1 is mounted at the end of a coaxial cable 4 which includes, inside its insulating sheath 5, a metal braid 6 of shielding and a central conductive core 7.
  • the body 1 is divided into two parts, namely, an upper part 1 a and a lower part 1 b which can be joined to one another by means of studs 8 which project from the face of the lower part 1 b located opposite the upper part 1 a and with corresponding through orifices 9 provided in the upper part 1 a .
  • a housing is provided, for the coaxial cable 4, inside body 1.
  • This housing is produced in two half-housings which are each provided in one of the two parts 1 a , and 1 b of the body, so that the axis of the housing is located in the connection plane of the two parts 1 a , 1 b of the body.
  • the half-housing comprises three sections semicylindrical diameter decreasing, namely, a portion 10 of diameter substantially equal to that of the cladding 5, a length 11 of diameter substantially equal to that of the braid outer 6 and a section 12 of diameter substantially equal to that of the central core 7.
  • the large diameter section 10 opens onto one of the lateral faces 13 of the body 1, a tooth 14 formed by a portion of a collar of smaller diameter extending over approximately 90 ° being provided at the mouth of said section 10 to tighten the sheath 5 when the two parts 1 a and 1 b of the body are assembled in order to maintain the coaxial cable 4 in its housing.
  • the half-housing of the lower part 1 b comprises sections 10 and 11 identical to those of the upper part 1 a .
  • the lower part 1b comprises a parallelepipedic cavity 12 '.
  • the lower part 1b further comprises two through passages 15 and 16 which extend, for the passage 15, between the section 11 and the lower face 17 of the part 1b , which lower face 17 constitutes, within the meaning of the invention, the connection face of the body 1 and, for the passage 16, between the parallelepiped cavity 12 'and said connection face 17.
  • Contact pins 18, 19, produced by wire compaction molybdenum and therefore having a certain elasticity axial, are housed in passages 15 and 16 with their ends protruding on either side of said passages.
  • the base 2 which is made of plastic, has a parallelepipedic external shape open on its face corresponding to the face 13 of the body 1, as well as on its faces upper and lower, parallel to the printed circuit board 3.
  • the lateral face 22, which is opposite to the open face of the base 2 is full, while the side faces 21 and 23 comprise, on the one hand, two cutouts 24 and 25 which extend from the upper edge of the wall to the vicinity of the bottom frame 20 and a window 26 produced between the cutouts 24 and 25 and extending from the vicinity of the upper edge of the wall to the vicinity the bottom frame 20.
  • cutouts 24, 25 and this window 26 thus define a sort of handle 27, in the shape of an inverted U, which is joined to the frame of bottom 20 by the ends of its branches and which presents, given the thinness of its branches, an elasticity sufficient to allow lateral movement of its part upper 27.
  • the walls 21 and 23 are identical and are each symmetrical about a vertical axis (relative to the drawing) passing through their middle.
  • the upper part 1a of the body 1 comprises, as seen in Figure 3, side ears 28 which extend parallel to the axis of the coaxial cable 4 of a length corresponding to that of the window 26 of the base 2.
  • the substantially triangular section of the ears 28 allows their snap-fastening in the handles 27 by lateral deformation of these when the body 1 is pushed into the base 2, according to a translational movement perpendicular to the circuit board printed 3, towards it.
  • the height of the ears 28 on the body 1 is determined by so that their upper edges 28a lie in the vicinity immediately of the horizontal branch of the handles 27 when the body is placed in the base. Said body is thus snapped into said base.
  • the base includes a pad 29 at the four corners of its face lower while the body comprises two studs 30 projecting from its connection face 17, aligned with the passages 15 and 16 and of on either side of these.
  • the pads 30 have the function of protecting the ends of the contact pins 18 and 19 when the body is not in place in the base.
  • a conductive track 34 enters the metallization 33 up to an imprint 35 which is located opposite the contact pin 19.
  • Coaxial cable 4 is therefore connected to the circuit board printed 3 without any soldering and with a number of pieces reduced, each of these parts also being economical to achieve.
