Description

Probe connector with cable 【0001】

This creation relates to a connector, and more particularly to a probe connector having a cable.

【0002】

The telescopic terminal is usually disposed on the side of the battery installation space, the power supply installation space or the electronic component installation space in the electronic product, and is mainly electrically connected to the battery or the power supply unit, etc., to provide electrical energy for the electronic product, or to electrically connect the electronic component. For transmitting high frequency signals to electronic products.

[0003]

The conventional telescopic terminal mainly comprises a sleeve, a thimble and a spring. The sleeve is made of an insulating material, the thimble and the spring are made of a metal material, and the thimble is slid to the sleeve. The spring is mounted in the sleeve and abuts against the ejector pin to enable the battery, power supply unit or electronic component to form a conductive path with the thimble and the spring by crimping the ejector pin. Therefore, the electric energy or signal in the battery, the power supply unit or the electronic component can be transmitted to the electronic product through the conductive path.

[0004]

However, since the conventional telescopic terminal is a coil spring and is made of a metal material, it is electrically connected to the thimble, so that the electric energy or signal of the battery, the power supply unit, or the electronic component passes through the spring, and an inductive effect occurs. High frequency power or high frequency signals cannot be effectively transmitted. One end of the conventional telescopic terminal must be soldered to the circuit board. If it is used with an electronic device, it must be soldered to the circuit board through the cable. Therefore, the welding procedure is complicated, and the manufacturing is time-consuming and labor-intensive.

[0005]

Therefore, how to design a novel that can improve the above-mentioned defects is a major issue that the creators of this case want to solve.

[0006]

The purpose of this creation is to provide a cabled probe connector that conforms to high frequency signal transmission (or transmission of high frequency power), is structurally simple and easy to assemble.

【0007】

To achieve the above object, the present invention provides a probe connector having a cable, comprising an insulative housing, a probe assembly, a guide plate and a cable. The insulating body is provided with a receiving space and a slot that communicate with each other. The probe assembly is received in the receiving space and includes a probe terminal, an insulating member, and an elastic member that provides the insulating member and the probe terminal to reciprocate in the receiving space. The probe terminal is provided with a pair of connecting segments and a guiding elastic arm segment extending from the docking portion toward the slot. The insulating member is connected between the abutting section and the elastic member. The guiding plate is provided with a plurality of guiding portions, and the corresponding slots of the guiding plate are inserted into the insulating body. The guiding elastic arm segments of the probe terminals are disposed corresponding to the respective guiding portions and abut against the guiding portions. The cable is electrically connected to each of the guiding portions of the guiding plate outside the insulating body.
