Description

a connector with a conductive plastic member in the insulating body

The present invention relates to a connector, and more particularly to a connector in which a conductive plastic member is provided in a terminal block, and the terminal block is assembled into the insulating body.

Button, the connector refers to all connected components and their accessories on the electronic signal and power supply. It is a bridge for all signals. Its quality will affect the reliability of current and signal transmission, and also with electronics. The operation of the device is closely related. Generally speaking, various types of connectors have been provided on various electronic devices (such as smart phones, tablets, desktop computers, notebook computers, digital cameras, etc.) so that various electronic devices can By exchanging data, it is known that the connector can make electrical connections and signal transmission between the device and the device, components and components, and the system and the system, and is a basic component required to form a complete system.

According to the research, in the past ten years, for many Taiwanese manufacturers entering the connector industry, the connector industry is still a lucrative industry relative to other component industries. The main reason is that In the connector industry, the technology used in high- and low-order connector products is quite different. The aforementioned features make the positioning of related products between international manufacturers and Taiwanese manufacturers extremely clear and clear. In addition, due to the international The various connector products that are commissioned are required to have a wide range of application capabilities. This demanding product requirement also forces Taiwanese manufacturers who have commissioned OEMs to have different specialized projects to avoid The subsequent Red Sea (Chinese related manufacturers) competed.

However, as early as in the decade since 2008, Taiwanese manufacturers who used connectors as their main products have experienced and experienced an industrial crisis. Therefore, many Taiwanese manufacturers at the time clearly recognized that they only rely on the PC industry and are extremely vulnerable to PCs. The industry is sluggish, the barriers to entry are too low, and the industry is fiercely competitive, leading to a survival crisis that cannot continue to operate. Therefore, many Taiwanese manufacturers have adjusted their business strategies and adjusted accordingly. They can use the strategy of multi-transformation to cover the application of connector products to communication or consumer electronic products, such as mobile phones and game consoles... In this way, Taiwanese manufacturers who have relied heavily on connectors for computers and their peripheral devices have turned to the development and production of various consumer electronic products, displays, etc. in recent years. Base connector.

However, as mentioned above, the 2008 financial turmoil has broken the industry tacit understanding that many operators have long followed in the connector industry in Taiwan, such as the US, European and Japanese manufacturers that originally produced high-end or high-end technology connectors. Under the reality of the growing shortage of profits, the consideration began to produce low-end connectors, which seriously invaded the main product line that Taiwan connector manufacturers have mastered for many years. In response to this change in situation, Taiwan connector manufacturers must speed up. Step by step, and add a new strategy to take into account the points and aspects that have not been reviewed in the past, and to explore, develop and improve the various characteristics of the connector to provide better connector products in the industry, so that it is sufficient in the market. To have a role to play.

For example, the connector acts as an important communication bridge between complex electronic devices, and its influence on the quality and speed of transmission signals is also receiving more and more attention. Taking data transmission as an example, the maximum transmission speed of early USB 1.0 is 12Mbps, and the evolution rate is USB 2.0 has a maximum transfer speed of 480Mbps, and later, it has been upgraded to 5Gbps in USB 3.0 (Super Speed USB), even USB 3.1 Gen 2 directly increases the transmission speed to 10Gbps to meet the demand for high-speed transmission. In view of this, how to improve the high-frequency and high-speed transmission performance of the connector without ensuring a large increase in volume or a large change in the original structure is a major subject of the present discussion.

In order to stand out in a highly competitive market, the creators have been working hard for a long time with the rich practical experience of designing, processing and manufacturing various power supply or signal connectors for many years, and adhering to the spirit of excellence in research. After the experiment, I finally developed a connector with a conductive plastic part in the insulating body. With the advent of this creation, the high-frequency and high-speed transmission efficiency of the connector is effectively improved to provide better users. Experience.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a connector having a conductive plastic member in an insulating body, comprising an insulating body, a terminal block, a plurality of signal terminals, a plurality of ground terminals and at least one conductive plastic member, wherein The insulating body is provided with a receiving space, and a plug-in interface is formed on the front side thereof, and the plug-in interface is connected to the receiving space. The terminal block is made of an insulating material and can be assembled to the insulating body. The signal terminals and the grounding terminal, and the front ends of the signal terminals and the grounding terminals respectively expose the receiving space, and the rear end thereof passes through the terminal block and extends from the rear end of the insulating body, the connector The feature is that the conductive plastic member is disposed in the terminal block, and it only abuts the ground terminals, so that the connector can be more stable when performing high frequency and high speed transmission.

Another object of the present invention is that the terminal block is assembled from a first seat body and a second seat body, and an opposite assembly side is respectively provided with an assembly space for guiding the guide body. The electro-plastic piece can be accommodated in the assembly space, so that the worker can more conveniently put the conductive plastic part in the terminal block.
