Description

本願の特許請求の範囲に記載された発明は、信号線路部材とそれに取り付けられたコネクタとを備えて構成され、コネクタが相手方コネクタと係合連結されて高周波信号伝送に供されるコネクタ装置、及び、斯かるコネクタ装置の組立方法に関する。   The invention described in the claims of the present application includes a signal line member and a connector attached to the signal line member, and a connector device that is engaged and connected to a mating connector to be used for high-frequency signal transmission, and The present invention also relates to a method for assembling such a connector device.

信号線路部材に配された信号伝送導体を流れる高周波信号は、当該信号線路部材の外部への不要な電波放射及び当該信号線路部材の外部からの不要な電波干渉をできるだけ少とすべく、電磁シールド作用が及ぶ状態のもとにおかれることが望まれる。そこで、高周波信号を扱う信号線路部材にあっては、当該信号線路部材を構成する誘電体層の内部に信号伝送導体を埋め込むとともに誘電体層の外面側にグラウンド電位が与えられるグラウンド導体を信号伝送導体を挟むように配して、信号伝送導体を流れる高周波信号にグラウンド導体による電磁シールド作用が及ぶようにすることが知られている。   The high-frequency signal flowing through the signal transmission conductor disposed on the signal line member is electromagnetically shielded to minimize unnecessary radio wave radiation to the outside of the signal line member and unnecessary radio wave interference from the outside of the signal line member. It is desirable to be placed under conditions where action can be exerted. Therefore, in a signal line member that handles high-frequency signals, a signal transmission conductor is embedded in the dielectric layer that constitutes the signal line member, and a ground conductor is applied to which a ground potential is applied to the outer surface side of the dielectric layer. It is known that a conductor is arranged so that a high-frequency signal flowing through a signal transmission conductor is subjected to an electromagnetic shielding action by a ground conductor.

このような、信号伝送導体が内部に埋め込まれるとともにグラウンド導体が信号伝送導体を挟むようにして外面側に配された誘電体層を備えた信号線路部材にあっても、例えば、コネクタ等の電子部品は、当該信号線路部材を構成する誘電体層の外面部に装着されて、信号伝送導体及びグラウンド導体の夫々に電気的に接続されることが多い。そのため、このような信号線路部材であって、誘電体層の外面部にそれに装着されたコネクタ等の電子部品が電気的に接続される接続端子部を配置し、その接続端子部と誘電体層の内部に埋め込まれた信号伝送導体とを、誘電体層内を誘電体層の厚み方向に伸びるものとされたビアホール導体(スルーホール導体)により連結して、誘電体層の外面部に装着された電子部品が接続端子部及びビアホール導体を通じて信号伝送導体に電気的に接続されることになるようにしたものが、従来提案されている(例えば、特許文献1及び特許文献2参照)。   Even in such a signal line member including a dielectric layer disposed on the outer surface so that a signal transmission conductor is embedded inside and a ground conductor sandwiches the signal transmission conductor, an electronic component such as a connector is, for example, In many cases, the signal line member is attached to the outer surface of the dielectric layer and electrically connected to the signal transmission conductor and the ground conductor. Therefore, in such a signal line member, a connection terminal portion to which an electronic component such as a connector attached thereto is electrically connected is arranged on the outer surface portion of the dielectric layer, and the connection terminal portion and the dielectric layer The signal transmission conductor embedded inside is connected to the outer surface of the dielectric layer by connecting the inside of the dielectric layer with a via-hole conductor (through-hole conductor) that extends in the thickness direction of the dielectric layer. Conventionally, an electronic component that is electrically connected to a signal transmission conductor through a connection terminal portion and a via-hole conductor has been proposed (see, for example, Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2).

特許文献1に示される信号線路部材(高周波信号線路(10)) は、誘電体層(誘電体素体(12)を備えている。誘電体層にあっては、その内部に信号伝送導体(信号導体層(20)) が埋め込まれており、信号伝送導体は、誘電体層における信号伝送導体より外面側に配されて相互対向するグラウンド導体(グランド導体層(22)) とグラウンド導体(グランド導体層(24)) とによって挟まれている。そして、誘電体層の外面部に接続端子部(外部端子(16a))が配されていて、接続端子部と誘電体層の内部に埋め込まれた信号伝送導体とが、誘電体層内を誘電体層の厚み方向に伸びるものとされたビアホール導体(b1,b2) によって連結されている。それにより、誘電体層の外面部に装着された電子部品が接続端子部及びビアホール導体(b1,b2) を通じて信号伝送導体に電気的に接続されることになる。   The signal line member (high-frequency signal line (10)) shown in Patent Document 1 includes a dielectric layer (dielectric body (12). In the dielectric layer, the signal transmission conductor ( The signal conductor layer (20)) is embedded, and the signal transmission conductor is arranged on the outer surface side of the signal transmission conductor in the dielectric layer and faces the ground conductor (ground conductor layer (22)) and the ground conductor (ground) In addition, a connection terminal portion (external terminal (16a)) is arranged on the outer surface portion of the dielectric layer, and is embedded in the connection terminal portion and the dielectric layer. The signal transmission conductors are connected to each other by via hole conductors (b1, b2) that extend in the thickness direction of the dielectric layer in the dielectric layer, so that they are attached to the outer surface of the dielectric layer. Electronic components are connected to the signal transmission conductor through the connection terminals and via-hole conductors (b1, b2). It will be connected.

また、特許文献2に示される信号線路部材(信号線路(10)) は、誘電体層(絶縁体層(22a〜22d)) を備えている。誘電体層にあっては、その内部に信号伝送導体(信号線(32)) が埋め込まれており、信号伝送導体は、誘電体層における信号伝送導体より外面側に配されて相互対向するグラウンド導体(グランド導体(30)) とグラウンド導体(グランド導体(34)) とによって挟まれている。そして、誘電体層の外面部に接続端子部(外部端子(14b))が配されていて、接続端子部と誘電体層の内部に埋め込まれた信号伝送導体とが、誘電体層内を誘電体層の厚み方向に伸びるものとされたビアホール導体(b2,b8) によって連結されている。それにより、誘電体層の外面部に装着された電子部品が接続端子部及びビアホール導体(b2,b8) を通じて信号伝送導体に電気的に接続されることになる。   The signal line member (signal line (10)) shown in Patent Document 2 includes a dielectric layer (insulator layers (22a to 22d)). In the dielectric layer, a signal transmission conductor (signal line (32)) is embedded in the dielectric layer, and the signal transmission conductor is arranged on the outer surface side of the signal transmission conductor in the dielectric layer and faces each other. It is sandwiched between a conductor (ground conductor (30)) and a ground conductor (ground conductor (34)). The connection terminal portion (external terminal (14b)) is arranged on the outer surface portion of the dielectric layer, and the connection terminal portion and the signal transmission conductor embedded in the dielectric layer are electrically insulated in the dielectric layer. They are connected by via-hole conductors (b2, b8) that extend in the thickness direction of the body layer. Thus, the electronic component mounted on the outer surface portion of the dielectric layer is electrically connected to the signal transmission conductor through the connection terminal portion and the via hole conductors (b2, b8).

There is a risk that. Further, if the impedance matching for the high-frequency signal in the portion where the via-hole conductor is arranged is to be made favorable, there is a disadvantage that a complicated and difficult high-frequency design for the signal line member is required.

When a connector device is configured using a line member, the connector device has a problem regarding impedance matching for a high-frequency signal in a portion where a via-hole conductor with a signal line member is disposed.

A step portion that is lowered in the thickness direction of the signal line member, and the connection end portion of the signal transmission conductor is arranged on the dielectric plate portion, and the dielectric plate portion It is assumed that a through hole is formed so that the connection portion of the embedded ground conductor faces the outside of the dielectric flat plate portion. In preparing the connector, for example, as in the method described in claim 6, The connection end surface of the external connection terminal portion in the contact for contact and the connection end surface of the external connection portion in the ground contact are separated from each other in the thickness direction of the signal line member. With the signal line member and the connector thus prepared, the connection end surface of the external connection terminal portion of the signal contact of the connector is placed on the connection terminal portion of the signal transmission conductor on the component mounting surface portion of the signal line member.

Since the electrical connection with the ground conductor in the signal line member for the external connection portion is made directly through the connection portion of the ground conductor, the high-frequency signal supplied to the signal transmission conductor of the signal line member through the signal contact of the connector Or from the signal transmission conductor of the signal line member through the signal contact of the connector There is no possibility that disturbed impedance matching state of the high-frequency signal to be issued. Therefore, in the signal line member, there is no possibility that the transmitted high-frequency signal is reflected and the high-frequency characteristics are deteriorated, thereby achieving impedance matching for the signal line member. Therefore, the impedance matching of the high-frequency signal in the signal line member can be maintained well without requiring a complicated and difficult high-frequency design.

以上において説明された、本願発明の第1の態様に係るコネクタ装置の一例を成すコネクタ装置11によれば、信号線路部材12の部品搭載面部15に装着されたプラグコネクタ13の信号用コンタクト34における外部接続端子部36についての信号線路部材12における信号伝送導体17の本体部17aとの電気的接続が、例えば、信号線路部材12の誘電体層14内に配されたビアホール導体等を介することなく、信号伝送導体17の接続端子部17bを通じて直接的になされるとともに、プラグコネクタ13のグラウンド用コンタクト38における一対の外部接続部40A及び40B及び外部接続部41の夫々についての信号線路部材12における一対のグラウンド導体18及び19との電気的接続が、グラウンド導体19の接続部分19aを通じて直接的になされるので、プラグコネクタ13の信号用コンタクト34を通じて信号線路部材12の信号伝送導体17に供給される高周波信号、あるいは、信号線路部材12の信号伝送導体17からプラグコネクタ13の信号用コンタクト34を通じて導出される高周波信号についてのインピーダンス整合状態が乱される虞がない。従って、信号線路部材12において、伝送される高周波信号の反射が生じる等の事態が生じて、高周波特性が劣化したものとなってしまう虞がなく、それにより、信号線路部材12についてのインピーダンス整合を図るための複雑で難しい高周波設計が要求されることなく、信号線路部材12における高周波信号についてのインピーダンス整合を良好に保つことができることになる。   According to the connector device 11 as an example of the connector device according to the first aspect of the present invention described above, in the signal contact 34 of the plug connector 13 attached to the component mounting surface portion 15 of the signal line member 12.
