Description

La présente invention concerne la protection contre les perturbations électromagnétiques plus particulièrement au voisinage d'un connecteur coaxial d'une carte électronique.The present invention relates to the protection against electromagnetic interference more particularly in the vicinity of a coaxial connector of an electronic card.

Une carte électronique comprend généralement une plaque de circuit imprimé délimitée par deux faces principales et quatre côtés. Sur au moins l'une des faces principales s'étendent des pistes conductrices auxquelles sont reliés des composants électroniques ayant des contacts généralement brasés sur des extrémités des pistes conductrices.An electronic card generally comprises a printed circuit board delimited by two main faces and four sides. On at least one of the main faces extend conductive tracks to which are connected electronic components having contacts generally brazed on ends of the conductive tracks.

Dans certaines applications, la carte électronique comprend un connecteur coaxial relié à au moins un des composants électroniques de la carte via les pistes conductrices. Un tel connecteur comprend une embase fixée sur la carte électronique et pourvue d'une portion de connexion à une extrémité d'un câble coaxial, et une broche ayant une portion d'extrémité libre qui s'étend en saillie de l'embase à l'opposé de la portion de connexion et qui est brasée sur une piste conductrice.In some applications, the electronic card comprises a coaxial connector connected to at least one of the electronic components of the card via the conductive tracks. Such a connector comprises a base fixed on the electronic board and provided with a connecting portion at one end of a coaxial cable, and a pin having a free end portion which projects from the base to the end. opposite of the connecting portion and which is brazed on a conductive track.

Pour limiter la production de parasites ou perturbations électromagnétiques, il est connu de fixer l'embase sur un boîtier de blindage entourant la portion d'extrémité libre de la broche. Le boîtier de blindage a un bord inférieur présentant des pattes reçues dans des ouvertures correspondantes de la plaque de circuit imprimé. Ce mode de fixation n'est guère pratique notamment pour une mise en place au moyen d'un robot, et engendre une altération des performances du blindage du fait de la multiplication des ouvertures.To limit the production of interference or electromagnetic interference, it is known to fix the base on a shielding casing surrounding the free end portion of the pin. The shield housing has a lower edge having lugs received in corresponding openings in the printed circuit board. This method of attachment is not practical especially for implementation by means of a robot, and causes an alteration of the performance of the shield due to the multiplication of openings.

Il est connu également des connecteurs dont l'embase comporte une paire de bras de chaque côté de la broche. Les bras de chacune des deux paires de bras sont parallèles à la broche et délimitent entre eux une rainure dans laquelle est engagé un côté de la plaque de circuit imprimé. La nécessité de jeux de montage et de positionnement oblige à laisser des espaces entre l'embase et la plaque de circuit imprimé au voisinage de la portion d'extrémité libre de la broche. Cet espace engendre un passage pour le rayonnement électromagnétique interdisant un blindage efficace contre les perturbations électromagnétiques.It is also known connectors whose base comprises a pair of arms on each side of the pin. The arms of each of the two pairs of arms are parallel to the pin and delimit between them a groove in which is engaged one side of the printed circuit board. The need for mounting and positioning clearance requires leaving gaps between the base and the printed circuit board in the vicinity of the free end portion of the pin. This space generates a passage for electromagnetic radiation prohibiting effective shielding against electromagnetic disturbances.

Le document US 2014/099822 A1 décrit un connecteur coaxial ayant une embase fixée à un panneau frontal d'un boîtier en matériau conducteur destiné à être relié à la masse pour former un blindage.The document US 2014/099822 A1 discloses a coaxial connector having a base attached to a front panel of a casing of conductive material to be grounded to form a shield.

Un but de l'invention est de fournir un moyen permettant d'obvier au moins en partie à ces inconvénients.An object of the invention is to provide a means to obviate at least in part these disadvantages.

A cet effet, on prévoit, selon l'invention, un connecteur coaxial pour carte électronique ayant au moins une face principale et un côté sensiblement perpendiculaire à la face principale. Le connecteur comprend une embase fixée à un panneau frontal d'un boîtier de blindage électromagnétique et une broche passant par une première ouverture du panneau frontal de telle manière que la broche ait une portion d'extrémité libre qui s'étend en saillie dans le boîtier en affleurant un plan d'une deuxième ouverture délimitée par un bord inférieur d'une ceinture du boîtier. Le boîtier est agencé pour que le bord inférieur de la ceinture puisse être en appui contre la face principale de la carte électronique tandis que le panneau frontal est en appui contre le côté de la carte électronique. Le boîtier comprend en outre deux rebords internes s'étendant le long du panneau frontal de part et d'autre de la portion d'extrémité libre de la broche pour venir en appui de ladite face principale de la carte électronique.For this purpose, there is provided, according to the invention, a coaxial connector for an electronic card having at least one main face and a side substantially perpendicular to the main face. The connector comprises a base attached to a front panel of an electromagnetic shield case and a pin passing through a first opening of the front panel such that the pin has a free end portion projecting into the case flush with a plane of a second opening defined by a lower edge of a belt of the housing. The housing is arranged so that the lower edge of the belt can bear against the main face of the electronic card while the front panel bears against the side of the electronic card. The housing further comprises two internal flanges extending along the front panel on either side of the free end portion of the pin to bear against said main face of the electronic card.

Ainsi, le connecteur est intégré au boîtier de blindage qui comprend des rebords internes qui peuvent être au plus près de la broche pour s'opposer à une fuite du rayonnement électromagnétique entre le panneau frontal et la carte électronique au voisinage de la portion d'extrémité libre de la broche.Thus, the connector is integrated in the shielding case which includes internal edges that can be closer to the pin to oppose leakage of electromagnetic radiation between the front panel and the electronic card in the vicinity of the free end portion of the pin.

En référence à la figure 8, et selon le troisième mode de réalisation, les rebords internes 27 s'étendent en saillie depuis deux parois latérales 30 qui appartiennent à la ceinture 22 et qui s'étendent de part et d'autre du panneau frontal 15.With reference to the figure 8 , and according to the third embodiment, the inner flanges 27 project from two side walls 30 which belong to the belt 22 and which extend on either side of the front panel 15.

D'une manière générale, le connecteur est de préférence monté au moyen d'un robot sur la plaque de circuit imprimé 1 maintenue horizontale. Lors de la mise en place du connecteur, le boîtier 16 n'est pas recouvert du couvercle 24. Ceci facilite un positionnement optique du connecteur par une vision de la portion d'extrémité libre de la broche au travers de la troisième ouverture 23. Comme le connecteur 10 a ici un centre de gravité s'étendant à l'aplomb du boîtier 16 (le boîtier 16 a une masse supérieure à une masse de l'embase 11 notamment grâce au rebord d'appui 31), le connecteur reste en place sur la plaque de circuit imprimé 1 avant l'opération de brasage sans qu'il soit nécessaire de l'y maintenir. L'opération de brasage est réalisée par passage dans un four pour faire fondre une pâte de brasage préalablement disposée sur la plaque de circuit imprimé. A l'issue de cette opération, la portion d'extrémité libre 14 de la broche doit être brasée sur une plage correspondante de la plaque de circuit imprimé (la plage électriquement conductrice s'étendant sur la face principale de la plaque de circuit imprimé au voisinage du côté 1.3) et le boîtier 16 doit être brasé sur toute la longueur de la ceinture 22 (exceptions faites des encoches de passage de pistes) et des rebords internes 27. Il est possible de procéder à une vérification optique de la qualité du brasage, notamment au travers de la troisième ouverture 23. Après cette vérification, le couvercle 24 est mis en place sur le boîtier 16. Le fait d'avoir un couvercle séparé est aussi avantageux car cela permet de limiter le poids maximal à transporter lors du montage du connecteur. Le caractère amovible du couvercle 24 permet en outre de faciliter les opérations ultérieures de maintenance.In general, the connector is preferably mounted by means of a robot on the printed circuit board 1 maintained horizontal. When placing the connector, the housing 16 is not covered with the cover 24. This facilitates optical positioning of the connector by a vision of the free end portion of the pin through the third opening 23. As the connector 10 here has a center of gravity extending above the housing 16 (the housing 16 has a mass greater than a ground of the base 11, in particular thanks to the support flange 31), the connector remains in place on the printed circuit board 1 before the soldering operation without it being necessary to maintain it there. The brazing operation is carried out by passing through an oven to melt a solder paste previously disposed on the printed circuit board. At the end of this operation, the free end portion 14 of the pin must be brazed to a corresponding pad of the printed circuit board (the electrically conductive pad extending over the main face of the printed circuit board adjacent to the 1.3 side) and the casing 16 must be brazed the full length of the printed circuit board. the belt 22 (exceptions made notches runway tracks) and internal flanges 27. It is possible to conduct an optical verification of the quality of brazing, in particular through the third opening 23. After this verification, the cover 24 is placed on the housing 16. The fact of having a separate cover is also advantageous because it limits the maximum weight to transport during assembly of the connector. The removable nature of the cover 24 further facilitates subsequent maintenance operations.

On notera que le bord inférieur 21 de la ceinture 22 du boîtier 16 comporte des encoches 32 de passage de certaines des pistes conductrices 2.Note that the lower edge 21 of the belt 22 of the housing 16 has notches 32 for passage of some of the conductive tracks 2.

Bien entendu, l'invention n'est pas limitée aux modes de réalisation décrits mais englobe toute variante entrant dans le champ de l'invention telle que définie par les revendications.Of course, the invention is not limited to the embodiments described but encompasses any variant within the scope of the invention as defined by the claims.

En particulier, le connecteur peut avoir une structure différente de celle décrite. Notamment, le boîtier 16 peut être dépourvu de couvercle amovible. Le boîtier 16 peut aussi être dépourvu de troisième ouverture. Pour permettre des opérations ultérieures de maintenance, la partie supérieure du boîtier peut alors comprendre une paroi reliée à la ceinture par une zone de résistance amoindrie formant amorce de rupture (cette zone est par exemple formée d'une série de découpes en pointillé permettant un arrachement de ladite paroi).In particular, the connector may have a different structure from that described. In particular, the housing 16 may be devoid of removable cover. The housing 16 may also be devoid of third opening. To allow subsequent maintenance operations, the upper part of the housing may then comprise a wall connected to the belt by a reduced resistance zone forming a rupture primer (this zone is for example formed of a series of dotted cuts allowing tearing of said wall).

En outre, l'embase 11 peut être fixée sur le panneau frontal par tout moyen et notamment par soudage.In addition, the base 11 may be fixed to the front panel by any means and in particular by welding.
