Connector

The present invention relates to the technical field of connectors, and in particular to a connector for mounting a sensing element as a portable electronic device on a circuit substrate.

In recent years, with the miniaturization and high density of portable electronic devices, the demand for optical systems and other transceiving information systems has increased with the rise of camera and photo-capable electronic devices. The measuring component senses external information such as sound or light source, and the external information of the feedback is used to adjust the function of the portable electronic device.

At present, the sensing components applied on the portable electronic device are placed in a limited space, and the positioning position of the sensing component is different or the level is different depending on the accuracy requirements of different usage conditions, and some need to be relatively The precise size control is mainly based on the distance between the sensing component and the circuit substrate and the housing shell, and is lifted before the housing shell is fixed in size and shape, and the sensing component and the circuit substrate are controlled. The height difference adjusts the position of the sensing component, so that the portable electronic device can sense the accuracy of transmitting and receiving external information, and the sensing component adopts the following two methods to form a height difference, including:

1. The sensing component is passed through a conventional connector, wherein the plurality of substrates are stacked to form a connector of a predetermined height, and the predetermined height is adjusted by adjusting the number of stacked substrates, and the substrate is provided by itself. Metal gaskets are welded to each other or otherwise fixed After being electrically connected, the sensing element is soldered and fixed to the metal gasket provided on one side of the connector, and the other surface of the connector is soldered to the circuit substrate for fixing.

2. Another aspect of the conventional connector is to weld a plurality of soldering legs and a plurality of metal pillars of the sensing component one by one, and place the sensing component and the metal pillar in a molding die after welding. Injecting a resin or a plastic material into the molding die, and integrally or integrally molding the metal guide post into a body of a predetermined shape, and modifying the molded connector to a predetermined size by reworking. Then, the other side of the metal pillar is soldered to the circuit board and fixed.

However, the above conventional connectors have the following disadvantages:

1. The conventional connector is formed by stacking the substrate. The error of the size of the substrate itself is very large. After stacking, the size is more complicated due to the accumulation of tolerances, so that the dimensional error is very difficult to control, and the yield of the product on the process is reduced.

Second, the conventional connector is formed by stacking the substrate. The material properties of the substrate itself are too long or overheated to be easily deformed and bent, so that the size is different, and the process yield is also a factor of product yield reduction.

3. Another conventional connector is formed by welding one by one with a plurality of metal guide columns. The metal guide column method requires multiple processes for the process, and the process is too complicated to require a plurality of molds, and the subsequent reprocessing is complicated and reworked. The resulting tolerances cause high production costs and low process efficiency.

Therefore, how to solve the problems and shortcomings of the use, that is, the relevant manufacturers in this industry are eager to study the direction of improvement.

Therefore, the new creators have collected and reviewed relevant information through multi-party evaluation and consideration, and have been using the years of R&D experience in this industry. Trial and modification, the design of this connector was born.

The main purpose of the present invention is to provide a connector comprising a connector having a first outer surface corresponding to the sensing component and a second outer surface respectively corresponding to the circuit substrate, and the plurality of conductive terminals are The first outer surface and the second outer surface are respectively exposed through the connector body, and are integrally formed in the connector body by insert molding (Insert Modeling) to achieve the purpose of improving structural strength and dimensional accuracy.

Another main purpose of the present invention is to provide a connector. The metal sheet-shaped conductive terminals of the connector are respectively bent on the first outer surface and the second outer surface by a first pad and a second pad, and are arranged side by side. The first pad and the second pad are integrally formed by bending and bending the conductive terminal, thereby achieving the purpose of cost reduction, accurate size, and electrical conduction stability.
