Description

Connector with soft gold pin module

This creation is about a connector, especially a connector with a soft gold pin module.

The traditional Ethernet connector, such as the RJ45 connector, is usually formed by insulating plastic to form a rectangular socket. The socket has a plug interface at the front end and a V-shaped connector in the plug interface. A plurality of gold needles are used, and a gold needle holder is used to fix the gold needles, and then the rigid terminals of the PCB are used to connect the piercing terminals, and different components are soldered through the pads to achieve the function of transmitting information.

However, each gold pin, PCB hard board and terminal are soldered, which leads to a more complicated assembly process of the connector, which is time consuming and laborious. In addition, the solder joint will form an antenna effect, and the antenna effect will generate signal transmission. Bad effects, resulting in poor signal transmission, delay, crosstalk and other issues.

In view of this, the creator has made great efforts to solve the above problems by focusing on the above-mentioned prior art, and has devoted himself to the application of the theory, that is, the goal of the creator's improvement.

The purpose of this creation is to provide a connector with a soft gold pin module, which directly inserts a flexible circuit board by using a terminal to omit the process of soldering the gold pin and the terminal, improve the assembly efficiency of the connector and enhance the signal transmission. performance.

In order to achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a connector having a soft gold pin module, including:

a front seat having a connector slot at the front end and a receptacle therein for communicating with the connector slot;

A soft gold pin module is placed in the pocket, and the soft gold pin module comprises:

a flexible circuit board having a fixing portion, and a guiding portion is bent and extended from one end of the fixing portion, and a terminal insertion portion is extended at the other end, and the guiding portion is disposed corresponding to the joint slot;

a plurality of terminals that are inserted into the terminal plug-in portion;

A resilient bracket is attached to the fixing portion and the guiding portion, so that the guiding portion is supported by the elastic bracket.

This creation also has the following effects:

First, replace the traditional V-shaped gold pin with a flexible circuit board, and directly insert the flexible circuit board with the terminal, so that the assembly step of the connector omits the procedure of soldering the gold pin and the terminal, and avoids the antenna effect of the solder joint to achieve the creation. The connector is characterized by ease of assembly and excellent signal transmission.

Second, the use of a flexible circuit board to replace the traditional V-shaped gold needle, the line can be balanced to the line, and the impedance of the guiding part and the signal line to achieve impedance matching, thereby improving the signal delay difference and reducing the crosstalk problem. Improve the signal transmission performance of the connector.

Third, the flexible circuit board is an FPC soft board. Because the FPC itself is light and thin and has poor rigidity, the elastic bracket is attached to the fixing portion and the guiding portion to elastically compensate the flexible circuit board, and the flexible circuit is raised by the elastic bracket. The flexibility of the board enables the guide to maintain sufficient resetting capability after multiple insertions and removals, thereby maintaining good signal transmission.

Fourth, the use of the thickness of the flexible circuit board is thinner than the PCB hard board, so as to improve the softness of the circuit board, and make the flexible circuit board more convenient to design the turning, so as to strengthen the assembly of the three-dimensional space in the limited space, thereby overcoming the assembly space. Limit or reduce the assembly volume.
