Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a coaxial connector for printed circuit board, comprising a connector body adapted to be fixed, in particular by brazing, to a printed circuit board.
  • the coaxial connector according to the invention is particularly useful for providing a front-end connection of radio frequency (RF) modules fixed in a base station equipment bay.
  • RF radio frequency
  • the RF modules that may for example be transmission modules or reception modules comprise a printed circuit board on which passive and active RF components connected by RF transmission lines made on the printed circuit are mounted. .
  • each module is interconnected by coaxial cords and, for this purpose, each module comprises one or more coaxial connectors fixed in the vicinity of an edge of the printed circuit board.
  • an electromagnetic shielding of each module is generally provided, on the one hand, to avoid parasitic electromagnetic emissions related to the radiation generated by the RF components internal to the module, and on the other hand, allow a good operation of the module without disturbance by parasitic electromagnetic emissions from outside.
  • the electromagnetic shielding of the module imposes on the front panel connection to ensure an electrical continuity function between the connector ground and the module frame.
  • the shielding function is then provided by covers covering the different sources of radiation except coaxial connectors because they are difficult to integrate.
  • the RF transmission lines connecting the circuit components to the connector must be optimized to minimize radiation.
  • the present invention relates to a coaxial connector for a printed circuit board making it possible to avoid the drawbacks mentioned above when it is used in an RF module with a shielding cap, thus making it possible to improve the quality and ease shielding the module.
  • the connector according to the present invention as claimed is essentially characterized in that the connector body has a shell-like shape surrounding the outer contact of the coaxial connector on substantially one half of its circumference, said body having a flat bottom surface capable of coming into pressing against a surface of the printed circuit and a convex upper surface of curvilinear or polygonal section profile, in particular trapezoidal or triangular.
  • the angle formed between the planar surface of the connector body and a plane tangential to its upper surface when it is of curvilinear section profile, or between the flat surface of the connector body and the face that connects to it. of the upper surface when it is of polygonal section profile, is less than or equal to 70 °.
  • the coaxial connector is preferably placed in a cut made from an end face of the printed circuit, the height of the shell-shaped connector body being determined in such a way that when its surface planar bottom is applied to the printed circuit board, the central contact of the coaxial connector which extends parallel to the surface of the printed circuit is substantially tangential to this surface.
  • the coaxial connector according to the invention as claimed further comprises a shielding cover vis-à-vis the electromagnetic radiation, having a front face whose lower end is adapted to come into contact with the surface of the printed circuit, said front face being provided with a cutout whose profile corresponds to the profile of the upper surface of the shell-shaped connector body, said cap covering when it is placed on the printed circuit the connector body, preferably with , interposition of a seal with respect to electromagnetic radiation.
  • the coaxial connector shown in Figures 1 to 3 has a shell-shaped body 1 surrounding the outer contact 2 of the coaxial connector on substantially half of its circumference.
  • the shell-shaped body 1 has a flat bottom surface 3 and a convex upper surface with a curvilinear section profile 4.
  • an angle ⁇ is formed between the flat surface 3 of the connector body and a plane T tangential to its upper surface 4, this angle being 70 ° in the illustrated example.
  • the coaxial connector is mounted on a printed circuit board C and is soldered to the connector body 1 on the board.
  • the connector is placed in a cut made in the printed circuit C from an end face thereof so that, as illustrated in FIGS. Figures 1 and 2 the outer contact bushing 2 protrudes towards the front of the card C.
  • the connector body 1 is applied by its flat surface 3 against the upper surface of the printed circuit board C.
  • the central contact 5 of the coaxial connector which extends parallel to the surface of the printed circuit C is substantially tangent to this surface, the center of the circle inscribed in the curvilinear profile of the upper surface 4 of the connector body being above the upper surface of the printed circuit C.
  • a cover 6 is placed on the connector, the cover having a front face 7 provided with a cutout 8 whose concave profile corresponds to the convex profile of the upper surface 4 of the body of the body. shell-shaped connector.
  • the hood as we see on the figure 1 covers, when it is placed on the printed circuit board, the connector body with, in the illustrated example, the interposition of a seal with respect to the electromagnetic radiation 9.
  • the seal 9 is example in silicone loaded and can be easily set up using an applicator gun.
  • the connector is sandwiched between the cover and the integrated circuit, which improves the resistance of the assembly of the connector on the card to mechanical stresses.
  • the shield cover being located above the connector, it is possible to use a surface of the printed circuit which was not used before, which improves the density and reduces the cost. Therefore, the transmission lines of the printed circuit can radiate and therefore it is no longer necessary to use multilayer circuits, which simplifies the design and further reduces the cost.
  • the profile of the connector body according to the invention makes it possible to use straight central contacts without the need for bent contacts, which facilitates assembly, since the connector body has holes 10 visible on the connector. figure 2 for the passage of connecting conductors to the circuit of the card.
  • the connector body 1 comprises a gripping zone 11 illustrated on the figure 2 .
  • the connector body 1 has an upper surface 4' of trapezoidal section profile and in the mode of realization of the figure 5 the connector body 1 "has an upper surface 4" of triangular section profile.
  • the angle ⁇ formed between the planar surface of the connector body and the face of the upper surface 4 'and respectively 4 "which is connected to it is the same as the angle ⁇ illustrated in FIG. figure 3 .
