This application claims the priority of the U.S. provisional application No. 60 / 233,36, named, high-density RJ connector assembly, which was filed on January 2000, and the patent The content is incorporated in this article as a reference. BACKGROUND The present invention relates to RJ connectors, especially multi-port connectors, which can reduce the possibility of short circuit of the connector and simplify the routing of conductive paths on a pc board. RJ connectors are modular connectors used in communication and data networks to interconnect equipment units. Due to the speed requirements of this type of equipment, the frequency of signals used in this equipment must also be increased (ie, in the gigahertz range). At the same time, the need for sophisticated equipment is increasing. The use of high frequencies and delicate equipment increases the problem of improper interconnections between the signals carried by the connectors. In addition, 'when these high-frequency connectors are deployed in a multi-port connector assembly', the RJ socket of the PCBA needs to have multiple long-lead wires with considerable impedance, so that high-end frequencies can be used. Be conducted without interference of real quality. The use of these long guide wires makes the placement and routing of the wires in the magic cell more difficult. Therefore, the RJ connector requires a direct and low-impedance ground or source path for the system's printed circuit board. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Therefore, an object of the present invention is to prepare a more compactly configured RJ connector 'especially a multi-port RJ connector', which has a direct and low-impedance connection. The paper size is applicable to Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 Specifications (210X297 Gongfen) 564580 A7 ------ B7__ 5. Description of the invention (2) The path of the ground or source connector. The present invention provides a modular connector that includes a direct and low-impedance ground or source connector path. The modular connector includes a housing in which one or several to are provided, and the structure of each chamber can accommodate a plug. One or more conductive planes are provided in the housing. Preferably, there are two conducting planes, a voltage source plane and a voltage ground plane. These sources and ground planes are placed on a printed circuit board in the housing. The source and the ground plane are directly connected to the system printed circuit board of the equipment unit by a common voltage source pin and a common voltage ground pin extending from the housing to form a low impedance path for the source and the ground joint. . The voltage source connection and the voltage ground connection of each RJ socket are respectively connected to the voltage source plane and the voltage ground plane, so that each RJ socket uses a common voltage source and ground. Therefore, when a multi-port is formed by a connector, the use of a common source and ground plane can be used regardless of the number of RJ sockets on the multi-port connector. Because only one voltage source pin and one voltage ground pin are required, the pins of each RJ unit are reduced. number.

The detailed description of the embodiment of the present invention will now refer to the drawings. Figures i and 2 show the respective RJ connector units 10, which include several RJ sockets 15, such as "," equipped with magnetic accumulation interface " in 2000 Disclosed in U.S. Patent Application No. 09 / 492,895, filed on January 27, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Each RJ unit 10 includes a housing 20 that houses the rj socket 15. Each socket 15 includes a chamber 16 configured to accommodate a plug (not shown). The plug is used to transmit signals between the equipment units. Within the chamber 16 are a number of conductive contact fingers 17. Each contact finger 17 has a first portion that makes electrical contact with the plug, and a second portion that makes electrical connection with a signal pin 31 extending from the housing 20. These signal pins 31 are configured so that they can be connected to a system printed circuit board in the equipment unit. Conventional RJ sockets usually have eight signal pins in each socket (five signal pins, one voltage source pin, one voltage ground pin, and one chassis ground pin). Therefore, a conventional RJ unit with one of the three vertically stacked RJ sockets usually has a total of 24 pins (that is, eight pins and three rj sockets per socket). However, the connector of application '895, the content of which is incorporated herein, typically has six pins per socket. Therefore, if an RJ unit with three vertically stacked RJ sockets is manufactured in accordance with the teachings of the '895 application, the number of pins per RJ unit can be reduced to 18 pins. However, as shown in Figures 4 and 5, the present invention can also be provided by one or more voltage sources (V +) 44 and voltage ground (G) 46 in each RJ unit 10.

Description of the invention (4) The plane reduces the number of pins. These sources 44 and ground 46 are provided on a printed circuit board 40 included in the housing 20 in a plane. For each RJ socket 15, the second end of one conductive contact finger 17 is connected to the voltage source plane 44 of the printed circuit board 40, and the second conductive finger 17 is second conductive The first end of the i-shaped part is connected to the ground plane 46 of the printed circuit board 40. Preferably, as shown in Figs. 4 and 5, the second end of the contact finger is connected to a voltage source 44 and a voltage ground 46 via an internal connector 42 in the printed circuit board 40. These internal connectors are preferably center taps to the source 44 and ground 46 planes and / or separate connectors to the source 44 and ground 46 planes. Although the printed circuit board 40 is provided on the side of the rj unit 10 in the vertical direction in FIG. 4, the printed circuit board has other configurations, such as being mounted on the top, back, bottom, or middle of the RJ unit. Using a printed circuit board 40 with a source 44 and a ground plane, a low impedance path can be prepared for the source and / or the ground connector even when using frequencies in the gigahertz range. To prepare for such a low-impedance path, a common voltage source pin 31 and a common voltage ground pin 31 of the voltage source 44 and ground 46 planes that can extend from the housing 20 are directly connected to the system printed circuit board of the equipment unit (not shown). In addition, the low-impedance path of the voltage ground plane 46 may be connected to a metal cover plate 50 provided around the casing, which will be described in detail below. Therefore, the voltage source 44 and ground 46 planes used on a printed circuit board 40 in the connector housing 20 can provide a direct and low impedance path for the ground and source connectors of the system printed circuit board, and reduce the need for high-end The need for multi-length wires with fairly high impedance. In other words, the source 44 and ground 46 planes can make the voltage source of each RJ socket 15 the paper size applicable to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X297 mm ·) (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) Order— # 7 564580 A7 B7 V. Description of the invention (and the ground finger is connected to a common plane inside and outside the RJ unit 10, as a common source and ground pin for all RJ sockets 15 in the RJ unit 10. In addition, a common ground pin is used. The source 44 and ground 46 planes can also reduce the number of pins in each RJ unit 10 from 18 to 15, as shown in Figures 1 and 2 (that is, a chassis ground, 12 signal pins (4 signals for each RJ socket) Pins X 3 RJ sockets), a voltage source pin and a voltage ground pin. In addition, a common source plane 44 and a common ground plane 4 6 are used to make the holes between the holes on the system's printed circuit board (not shown) The spacing is increased, but the size of the housing is not increased. The increased spacing between the pins 31 reduces the short circuit and the interference between the w and adjacent pins of the RJ unit 10. In addition, the use of a common source 44 and ground 46 plane can simplify RJ Line assignment of conduction path in unit 10 Since the common source 44 and ground 46 planes only need to leave the housing 20 from one location, the sources and ground fingers of each RJ socket 15 do not need to pass through the housing to a pin separately. Therefore, it can also reduce Interference in the Rj unit 10. As mentioned above and shown in Figures 1-4, the housing 20 of each RJ unit 10 is also covered with a metal cover 50. The metal cover of each housing 20 is best designed They are fastened to each other to form an RJ connector assembly as shown in Fig. 3. In order to fix the metal cover 50 of each RJ unit 10, a clip 52 (picture 2) or a ring is provided on the opposite side of the metal cover 50. 54 (Fig. 1). Therefore, each metal cover plate 50 can be easily fixed by sliding the clips into respective rings 54 on an adjacent metal cover plate similar to the RJ unit 10. Although Figs. 1 and 2 The four rings 54 and four hooks are shown in the figure, in fact, for example, the number of hooks and rings can be determined according to the size of the RJ unit 10. This paper size applies the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X297 mm) (Please read the precautions on the back before filling out this page)-、 可 | # 五 、 Explanation (6) The best metal cover 50 package A grounding tab 55. The grounding tab 55 is preferably connected to a chassis surface in an equipment unit (not shown). The use of a metal cover 50 and the grounding of the metal cover helps reduce the electromagnetic interference effect in the Rj unit 10. In addition, as shown in FIG. 4, the ground plane of the printed circuit board 40 can be connected to the metal cover 50 through the connector 60, and grounded through the metal cover ground tab 55. In this way, the rj unit 10 can be reduced. The number of pins required. Since the metal cover 50 of the RJ unit 10 can be easily connected together, any 2X8 '4X10, or 3X6 combination (as shown in Figure 3) can be changed by changing the vertical and The number of rj sockets 15 on a horizontal plane is formed. Although the RJ socket in the connector assembly shown in the figure is oriented vertically, it is obvious that the RJ unit and the combined connector assembly can have many different shapes and forms. For example, the rj unit and socket can be oriented horizontally. In addition, it is important to note that with respect to the assembly 30 in FIG. 3, the entire assembly 30 can use a printed circuit board provided with a common voltage source plane 44 and a common voltage ground plane 46. In addition, although the figure shows multiple RJ sockets, the concept of using a voltage source and a ground plane on a printed circuit board can be applied to a single socket structure. Although the present invention has been disclosed above based on a specific embodiment, many other changes and modifications will be apparent to those skilled in the art. Therefore, the present invention is not limited by the above disclosure, but is only defined by the scope of patent application.
