Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne un dispositif pour relier électriquement une ligne coaxiale à une carte de circuit imprimé.The present invention relates to a device for electrically connecting a coaxial line to a printed circuit board.
On a déjà imaginé et proposé un certain nombre de solutions pour relier un câble coaxial à une carte de circuit imprimé.We have already imagined and proposed a number of solutions to connect a coaxial cable to a printed circuit board.
La solution la plus simple consiste à souder directement le conducteur de masse et le conducteur central du câble sur des pistes correspondantes de la carte. Ce procédé ne convient cependant que pour des circuits basses fréquences en raison du mauvais contrôle d'impédance qui résulte de la soudure. En outre, il ne permet pas le démontage du câble.The simplest solution is to directly solder the conductor of ground and the central conductor of the cable on corresponding tracks on the card. This However, this process is only suitable for low frequency circuits due to the poor impedance control resulting from soldering. In addition, it does not allow the cable disassembly.
On a également proposé des connecteurs en deux éléments dont l'un se fixe sur la carte et l'autre se monte à l'extrémité du câble coaxial. Ces connecteurs présentent tous les avantages d'une connexion amovible et assurent généralement un bon contrôle d'impédance de la ligne.We have also proposed connectors in two elements, one of which attaches to the card and the other is mounted at the end of the coaxial cable. These connectors have all the benefits of a removable connection and generally provide good control line impedance.
En revanche, ils sont relativement complexes et coûteux à fabriquer et occupent un volume important sur la carte, ce qui n'est pas toujours compatible avec la miniaturisation de celle-ci.On the other hand, they are relatively complex and expensive to manufacture and occupy a large volume on the card, which is not always compatible with the miniaturization thereof.
La présente invention vise à fournir un dispositif simple et économique permettant de connecter une ligne coaxiale directement sur une carte de circuit imprimé, ce dispositif ayant, de plus, un encombrement très réduit.The present invention aims to provide a simple and economical device allowing to connect a coaxial line directly on a printed circuit board, this device having, in addition, a very small footprint.
La présente invention a pour objet un dispositif pour relier électriquement une ligne coaxiale à une carte de circuit imprimé comprenant au moins deux pistes conductrices s'étendant chacune jusqu'à un bord de la carte, le dispositif comprenant un contact externe et un contact central logé à l'intérieur du contact externe, caractérisé par le fait que le contact externe comporte une partie de raccordement à la carte de forme sensiblement tubulaire, munie de deux fentes diamétralement opposées qui séparent ladite partie de raccordement en deux mâchoires agencées pour pincer entre elles ladite carte introduite par son bord entre lesdites mâchoires et par le fait que le contact central comporte une partie de raccordement à la carte en forme de pince, dans laquelle s'engage le bord de la carte lorsqu'il est introduit entre les deux mâchoires du contact externe. The present invention relates to a device for electrically connecting a line coaxial with a printed circuit board comprising at least two tracks conductive each extending to an edge of the card, the device comprising a external contact and a central contact housed inside the external contact, characterized by the fact that the external contact has a part for connection to the shape card substantially tubular, provided with two diametrically opposite slots which separate said connecting part in two jaws arranged to clamp between them said card introduced by its edge between said jaws and by the fact that the central contact includes a clip-shaped connection part to the card, in which engages the edge of the card when it is inserted between the two jaws of the contact external.
Le dispositif selon l'invention s'avère particulièrement simple et économique à fabriquer et à installer car il ne se compose que d'un seul élément qui se monte directement sur la carte.The device according to the invention proves to be particularly simple and economical to manufacture and install because it consists of only one element which can be assembled directly on the map.
Pour utiliser le dispositif selon l'invention, il suffit d'agencer les pistes à connecter au bord de la carte en les espaçant de manière qu'elles se trouvent vis-à-vis des zones d'appui des contacts du dispositif.To use the device according to the invention, it suffices to arrange the tracks to connect to the edge of the card by spacing them so that they are opposite support zones for device contacts.
Ces zones d'appui des contacts, qui sont les extrémités par lesquelles lesdits contacts pincent la carte, ne réalisent pas toutes nécessairement une liaison électrique entre le contact concerné et une piste de la carte, elles peuvent en effet n'assurer que la fonction mécanique de pincement de la carte.These contact support zones, which are the ends by which said contacts pinch the card, not all necessarily make an electrical connection between the contact concerned and a track on the card, they can indeed only ensure the mechanical card pinch function.
Grâce à l'invention, la structure coaxiale de la ligne électrique est conservée jusqu'aux pistes de la carte, ce qui permet de contrôler au mieux l'impédance de la ligne.Thanks to the invention, the coaxial structure of the power line is preserved to the tracks on the card, which allows the line impedance to be controlled as well as possible.
En ce qui concerne la carte, le dispositif selon l'invention présente également l'avantage qu'en dehors de l'agencement des pistes conductrices au bord de la carte, aucune préparation particulière de la carte n'est requise, à savoir aucune découpe, métallisation ou perçage.With regard to the card, the device according to the invention also has the advantage that apart from the arrangement of the conductive tracks at the edge of the card, no special preparation of the card is required, i.e. no cutting, metallization or drilling.
Dans un mode de réalisation particulier de l'invention, le contact externe du dispositif est réalisé par décolletage.In a particular embodiment of the invention, the external contact of the device is made by bar turning.
Dans un autre mode de réalisation, le contact externe est réalisé par découpage et roulage d'une feuille métallique.In another embodiment, the external contact is produced by cutting and rolling a metal sheet.
Dans un mode de réalisation particulier, le contact central est réalisé par découpage, roulage et/ou pliage d'une feuille métallique.In a particular embodiment, the central contact is produced by cutting, rolling and / or folding of a metal sheet.
Dans un mode de réalisation particulier, le dispositif est agencé pour être monté sur un panneau voisin de la carte de circuit imprimé, de manière que ledit panneau supporte le dispositif et libère ses parties de raccordement montées sur le bord de la carte des contraintes mécaniques résultant de la présence d'un câble coaxial constituant la ligne coaxiale.In a particular embodiment, the device is arranged to be mounted on a panel adjacent to the printed circuit board, so that said panel supports the device and releases its connection parts mounted on the edge of the mechanical stress map resulting from the presence of a coaxial cable constituting the coaxial line.

l'entourent sont des pistes de masse.In Figures 1 to 8, there is shown a printed
L'écartement des pistes sur la carte est déterminé en fonction de l'impédance que l'on désire fixer à la pseudo ligne coaxiale ainsi constituée.The track spacing on the map is determined according to the impedance that one wishes to fix to the pseudo coaxial line thus constituted.
Les trois pistes se prolongent jusqu'au bord 5 de la carte où elles sont
rapprochées les unes des autres de manière à ce que leur écartement corresponde à celui

comportant deux fentes 14 diamétralement opposées s'étendant jusqu'à la face frontale
