In addition, it is necessary to mention = turning electromagnetic stem: 'The physical form of the child is not only mechanically operable under actual conditions, but also Sufficient continuous mass production. [Abstract] The present invention discloses an improved interconnection system. More particularly improved plug. Mao Mao does not disclose an exemplary plug 'the plug includes a plug into which a tiger contact and a ground contact are inserted. The shell, the plug shell includes-the kick .: The body has a plurality of = nose-shaped members that bridge the gap between the beams at the ends of the beams that extend from the body and form gaps between them. Inserted into the gap formed between the beams, without extending the extended contact member protruding from the body: to the opposite body of the self-extending contact member Reinforcement. This plus has a number of parts aligned with the edge of the contact body, which can be used = she applies pressure to insert the contact into the plug housing. The end of the extended contact member: has a groove 'When the contact is inserted into the plug When in the housing, the grooves will be articulated: shaped members. The ground contact further includes protruding protrusions, which are located in a channel formed through the body and along the beam. The signal contacts are inserted into the body of the plug housing The conduits in the middle form a slot in the negative peripheral beam. The first part of each signal contact has a brother-form factor 'and the second part of each signal contact has a second 85308 200401480). The shape factor of the conduit passing through the body of the plug casing is greater than the shape factor of the first part; because of the north part, the signal connection point, the first part, and the part can be inserted through the weight and inserted along the beam. However, the form factor of these catheters is smaller than the form factor of the second part of the signal contact, so the second part cannot pass through the catheters, but forms an interference fit with the catheter opening. A groove is provided in the end of the signal contact point, and the protrusion protruding from the beam of the plug housing projects into the groove. [Embodiment] An exemplary plug and socket having the advantages explained above will be explained below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 28. In detail, the novel complaints of an exemplary plug are explained in detail below. The description made herein with reference to the drawings is for the purpose of illustration 'and is by no means intended to limit the scope of the potential embodiments. Questions about the scope of potential embodiments can be resolved with reference to the appended patent application scope. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an example plug 1 1 0 aligned with an example socket 1 12 for interconnection. The plug 11 is used as a termination point of a plurality of wires included in a cable (not shown). The socket 112 provides electrical connectivity to a device (such as a printed circuit board). As shown in FIG. 2, the plug 110 is inserted into the socket 11 to provide a communication path from the plug 110 to the device connected to the socket 112. 3, 4 and 5 are a front view, a rear view and an exploded view of the socket 112, respectively. As shown in the figure, the socket 11 2 includes a socket housing 2 10 into which a signal contact 212, a ground contact 214, and a latch plate 216 have been inserted. The metal signal contact 2 1 2 and the ground contact 2 14 extend from the rear side 2 1 8 of the housing 210 into the plug interface 220 portion of the socket housing 212 and are fixed in position by friction coupling. The plug interface portion 220 has an area, and the contacts 212 and 214 are exposed in the area to match the corresponding contacts in the plug 丨 丨. Socket housing 85308 200401480 2 10 is made of a high temperature thermoplastic material (such as liquid crystal polymer (Lcp)), which can provide electrical isolation between the contacts 2 12. The latch plate 2 1 6 includes a latch rod 2 2 2 and a latch member 2 2 4 extending from the latch rod 2 2 2. The latch members 2 2 4 pass through the housing 21 0 and come out from the outer 2 2 6 pieces. The groove 2 2 8 is formed in the latch member 2 2 4 and is designed to be inserted into the corresponding latch 4 2 ^ of the plug assembly 2. The latch member 224 has a channel 225 in its outer surface for interacting with the locking member 290 protruding from the electrical shielding pad 238. The latch plate 216, especially the latch rod 222, extends to the rear of the socket housing 210 and protects the contacts 212 and 214 from unintentional contact. Generally speaking, the latch plate 216 is made of a solderable high-strength conductive metal (such as cold rolled steel (CRS)), and further includes a ground bump 23 for connecting to a device (such as a printed circuit board). Ground contact. The shield case 232 is formed corresponding to the outer surface of the plug interface portion 22 and is mounted on the outer surface. Specifically, the shield case 232 includes a case 233 on the surface of the package interface portion 220. The socket 234 is formed in the shield case 232 and corresponds to the protrusion 236 formed in the case 210. The socket 234 interacts with the protrusion 236 in a frictional manner to maintain the shield case 232 at the interface portion of the plug. The shielding case 232 is made of an extruded conductive material (for example, cold rolled steel). After the plug 110 is connected to the socket 112, the #shield 232 immediately contacts the metal housing of the plug 110, thereby reducing electromagnetic interference (EMI). A shield 塾 238 is installed around the housing 233 of the shield case 232. The thick shield 238 is made of an elastic conductive material (such as phosphorous copper), and a plurality of metal beams protrude therefrom. When the plug m is inserted into the socket 112, the metal beam protruding from the shield 塾 238 overlaps the housing of the plug m. Shield 塾 238 can reduce the electromagnetic force (EMF) between plug no and socket 112, and maintain an equal ground potential between plug 电位 and socket 85308 200401480 11 2. The signal contact 212 includes a plug contact portion 25 and a tail end portion 252. The plug contact portion 25 is used to electrically contact the corresponding contact in the plug ⑽, and the tail end portion 252 is used to electrically connect the socket 112 to a Device, such as a printed circuit board. The pivot member 254 is formed between the two. The tail end portion M2 should be precisely aligned to facilitate the connection of the socket 112 to the device. Considering Contact 212

The contact support member 262 projects from the body 26o and is separated from the interface portion 22o by the body 260. The contact support member 262 is formed with a plurality of contact grooves 264 or wall cavities' at the edge 266 to receive a portion of the contacts 212 and 214. The contact slot 264 for receiving the signal contact 212 can receive the pivot member 254 of the signal contact 212. 7 to 7 are cross-sectional views of the housing 210 under different insertion stages of the signal contact 212. As shown in the figure, in the groove 264, a branch point or pivot point 266 has been formed in the contact support member 262. The contact support member 262 basically forms an acute angle at the pivot point 266. When the signal contact point 212 is fully inserted into the outer condyle 210, the pivot member 254 abuts on the pivot point 266, whereby the tail end portion 252 can be pushed upward. Therefore, the pivot point 266 may define the horizontal and vertical foot positions of the tail end portion 252. The pivot point 266 is formed in a plurality of slots 264 that accommodate the signal contacts 212. As shown in FIG. 8 ', after the plurality of signal contacts 212 are inserted into the housing 210, the tail end portion 2 5 2 is immediately horizontally and vertically aligned. 0 85308 -10- 200401480 FIG. 9 is a detailed view of a shielding case 232. As shown in the figure, the shield case 232 includes a case body 233 'which can be mounted on the outer surface of the interface portion 220 of the case 21 through special molding. The shielding case 232 further includes an upright wall 270, which is integrally formed with the body 233, and abuts against the outer surface 226 of the housing 21o after assembly. The shielding case 232 has a groove 272 therein to receive the latch member 224. The shielding case 232 protects the contacts 212 and 214 from electromagnetic interference and prevents EMF leakage when the socket U2 is plugged into the plug 110. These functions work best when there is continuity between socket 112 and plug 110. Therefore, the shield case 232 and the housing of the plug 110 need to maintain a constant and firm electrical contact. The housing 233 has outwardly facing protrusions 274 to achieve this constant electrical contact. In the disclosed embodiment, the protrusions 274 are cantilevered. The height of the protrusion 274 protruding from the outer surface of the housing 233 increases along the length of the protrusion 274. Increasing its height along the length of the protrusion 274 can maintain physical contact and electrical continuity between the shield shell 232 and the plug 110 housing within the tolerance limits and matching conditions. As shown in the figure, 'projections 274 are formed on opposite sides of the housing 233. The shielding case 232 further includes a protrusion 278. As shown in FIG. 10, the socket 112 contacts the latch member 224 as soon as the redundant ' bump 278 is assembled. As described above, the flash member 224 is included in the latch plate 216, which further includes a ground protrusion 230. Therefore, the contact of the protrusion 178 with the latch member 224 may provide an electrical path to ground through the ground protrusion 23. In fact, the electrical connection from the housing of the plug 110 to the ground point via the shield case 232 and the latch plate 216 can be provided. The continuous electrical contact between the housing of the plug 110 through the socket 12 and the ground point can maintain substantially the same ground potential between the plug 110 and the socket 112, thereby greatly improving its efficiency. 85308 -11-200401480 Figure 11 and Figure 12 are the ocean charts of electrical 塾 2 3 8. As shown in the figure, the electrical frame 2 3 8 includes a frame 280 ′ which is made around the housing 233 of the shield case 232. A plurality of arched metal beams 282 protrude from the periphery of the frame 280. The metal beam 282 extends out of the frame 280 and returns to the frame 280 in a substantially circular shape. For example, the metal beam 282 may be formed by stamping the electrical pad frame 280. The first plurality of metal drills 284, numbered 284, are arranged in a straight line along the frame 280, with the middle 286 of the frame 280 being distributed in the middle. The second plurality of metal beams 282 with the number 288 are formed adjacent to the first plurality of metal beams with the number 284, and the second plurality of metal beams 282 with the number 288 overlap the first plurality of metal beams 282 with the number 284, and This bridges the portion 286 between the first plurality of metal beams numbered 284. When the electric pad 23 8 is installed on the socket 11 2 and the plug connected to it, there is almost no gap between the plug j] 〇 and the socket 112, and the overlapping metal beam 282 can connect the two devices. The escape path between electromagnetic forces (EMF) is minimized. The pad 238 further includes a locking member 29o for restricting the movement of the electric pad 238 on the assembled socket 112. The locking member 290 extends out of the frame 28o, and when fitted to the socket 112, projects into a channel 225 formed on the locking member 224. The foot locking member 290 is located in the channel 225, and its freedom of movement is limited by the length of the channel 225. FIG. 13 is a detailed view of one of the latch plates 21 16. As shown, the latch plate 2] 6 includes a latch rod 222, and the latch rod 222 has a flashing member 224 protruding. The latch member 224 is insertable into a latch member opening 294 (see FIG. 14) formed in the housing 210 and protrudes from the outer side 226 of the housing 210. A groove 228 formed in the interrogation member 224 can receive a corresponding latch member in the plug 110 and can hold the two device halves together. The flash stick 222 can protect the contacts 212 and 214, and balance the weight of the housing 2 10 when the components have been assembled into the socket 112 85308-12 · 200401480. The latch plate 2 16 has grounding projections 23 therein, which are designed to contact a grounding source on the device in which the socket 2 is installed. For example, the ground protrusion 232 may contact a ground point located on a printed circuit board. Finally, a channel 225 is formed in the outer wall of the latch member 224 and receives the locking member 290. Plug Fig. 15 is an exploded view of the plug 110. As shown in the figure, the plug 11 includes a plug housing 4 1 0 into which the No. 5 contact 412 and the ground contact 4 14 are inserted.

The latch 421 is located in the groove 423 in the two housing halves 417 and 419, and is interlocked with the latch member 224 of the plug U2. The lanyard 425 is connected to the latch 421 for controlling the latching position of the latch 421. FIG. 16 is a detached view of a plug housing 410 with a k-contact 412 and a ground contact 414 inside. Figures 17A and 17B are a perspective view and a front view of a housing 410 without contacts 412 and 414, respectively. As shown, the housing includes a body portion 416 having a plurality of protruding protrusions or beams 418. A groove 420 is formed in the beam 418, and a gap 422 is formed between the beams 418. The body 416 has a plurality of catheters 424 formed by aligning the grooves 420 therein. The signal contact 412 passes through the catheter 426 and extends into the slot 420. A second plurality of ducts 4 2 6 ′ are also formed in the body, which are aligned with the gaps 4 2 2 formed between the beams 4 1 8 and pass through the guide 426 and extend into the gap 422. The housing 41 further includes a nose member 430 that bridges the gap between the beams 418 to 85308 13 200401480 at the end 432 of the beam. FIG. 1 is a separate view of the ground contact 414. -As shown, the 7 ground contact includes a body 434 and an extended contact area 436 extending from the body 434. Elongation = A notch or groove 437 is formed in the contact area 436, which is used to secure the tip as described below. The ground contact body 434 has a first surface eg and a second surface 44 °. The two surfaces are provided with barbs 442 to enhance the interference fit with the housing 41 °. The ground contact 414 further includes a reinforcing member 444 that protrudes from the body 434 and is separated from the contact area 436 by the body 434. A contact area 446 is formed in the reinforcing member 4 for forming electrical contact with the printed circuit board 4 丨 5. The reinforcement 444 further has a tool application area 448 therein. In the disclosed embodiment, the tool application area 448 includes two right-angled surfaces that are adapted to apply the tool to insert the contacts 414 into the housing 410. A portion of the tool application area 448 substantially aligns the surfaces 43 8 and 440 and provides a suitable leverage point to apply pressure (e.g., using a tool) to insert the contact 414 into the housing 41o. The contact 414 further includes a plurality of protrusions 450 protruding from the extended contact area 436 and the side of the body 434. As explained in detail below, in the assembled plug housing 41o, the protrusions 450 are located in the channels formed in the plug housing body 416 and 橾 418. FIG. 19 is a rear view of the plug housing 410. Fig. 20 is a sectional view of the plug housing 41o as viewed from the rear. As shown, a groove or duct 426 is formed in the body 4 1 6. The duct 426 is aligned with the gap 422 formed between the beams 418 protruding from the opposite side of the body 416. Therefore, the ground contact 414 can be inserted into the conduit 426, and its extended contact area 436 projects into the gap 422 between the beams 418. Channels 462 are formed in the conduit 426. These channels 462 project into the fixed side of the beam 418 facing the gap 422. 85308 -14- 200401480 The channel 462 can receive the protrusion 45 from the ground contact 4 14 and thereby fix the ground contact 414 to the plug housing 4 10 during and after the insertion of the ground contact 4 14 Within the positioning. 21 and 22 are front views of the plug housing 41, in which a beam 418 is shown in a partial cross section. As shown, the channel 462 extends along the beam 4 1 8 in the gap 422 between the beams. The notch 43 7 in the ground contact 414 has a shape corresponding to the nose-shaped member 430 and designed to engage the nose-shaped member 430. When the ground contact 414 is fully inserted into the plug housing 41, the notch 437 engages the nose-shaped member 4 3 0 ′, thereby fixing the end of the contact 414 in place. FIG. 23 is a partial cross-sectional view of the plug housing 41o as viewed from the rear. As shown in the figure, a conduit 424 for receiving the signal contact 4 丨 2 is formed in the housing body 416, and the guides f 424 are aligned with the beam 418 'more specifically and 1 with the groove 42 formed in the beam Μ. 〇. The contact 412 is inserted into the catheter 424 and extends into the groove 420. Figure 24 is an enlarged view of the opening of the catheter 424. In the disclosed embodiment, the opening of the guide 424 has four sides, three of which are flat, and the fourth side is arched. Those skilled in the art will know and can also adopt their E shape. The shape factor of the opening of the catheter 424 is larger than the shape factor of the portion where the contact 412 is inserted and passes through the opening portion. For example, the height of the opening of the catheter 424 is greater than the height of the contact 414 inserted into the catheter 424 portion. This height difference prevents the conduit 424 from frictionally interfering with the contact portion of the signal contact 412. However, as shown in FIGS. 25 and 26, the form factor of a portion of the signal contact 412 (referred to herein as the stop barb 466) is greater than the form factor of the opening of the catheter 424. Thereby, the stop barb portion 466 and the contact point 4 12 are fixed in the plug housing 410 by friction. 85308 -15- 200401480 Figure 27 is a front view of the plug housing 410. The figure partially cuts through a portion of the beam 418 'to better illustrate the signal contacts 4? 2 in the slot 42. The figure also illustrates a protrusion 470 that projects from the beam 428 into the slot 420. FIG. 28 is an enlarged view of the signal contact 412 fully inserted into the slot 420. As shown in the figure, grooves or notches 02 are formed in the signal contacts 4! 2. The protrusion 470 is located in the notch 472, thereby fixing the signal contact 4 1 2 and especially the end of the signal contact 4 1 2 in position.
