  • FIG. 1 shows an SMT connector 10 in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention.
  • the connector 10 shown in FIG. 1 is a header connector that can used in an electrical box 12 —see FIG. 2B —such as might be used in a vehicle.
  • the electrical box 12 could, for example, be a power distribution box, or a junction box.
  • the electrical box 12 includes a number of electronic components 14 , 16 , 18 , 20 , 22 which are attached to a PC board 24 .
  • an in-line connector 26 can be used to connect the header connector 10 to various systems within the vehicle via a wiring harness 28 .
  • the header connector 10 includes a connector housing 30 and a number of electrical terminals 32 , 34 , 36 .
  • FIG. 3 shows the underside of the connector 10 including portions of the various electrical terminals that will connect to a PC board, such as the PC board 24 shown in FIG. 2A .
  • each of the terminals 32 (two on each side of the connector 10 ) and the terminals 34 (five on each side of the connector 10 ) are blade terminals configured to facilitate surface mounting of the connector 10 to a PC board, such as the PC board 24 .
  • the terminals 36 are through-hole terminals which are configured to be located within holes in a PC board, such as the PC board 24 .
  • a connector such as the connector 10
  • the through-hole terminals can be beneficial, however, in that they can be used to help position a connector on a PC board. Moreover, if only a small number of through-hole terminals are used, this still leaves most of the opposite side of a PC board available for use in the creation of another circuit.
  • FIG. 4 shows one of the blade terminals 32 that can be used with a connector, such as the connector 10 .
  • the blade terminal 32 includes a terminal body 38 which has a first portion, or first elongate member 40 , and a second portion, or second elongate member 42 .
  • the first and second elongate members 40 , 42 form a unitary structure.
  • the first and second elongate members 40 , 42 can be formed in a single stamping operation from a single piece of electrically conductive material, such as a copper alloy.
  • the first elongate member 40 includes barbs 44 that are configured to cooperate with the connector housing 30 to secure the terminal body 38 to the connector housing 30 . It may be convenient to manufacture the connector housing 30 from any of the number of engineering polymers which are not electrically conductive, but are strong enough to securely hold a number of terminals, such as the blade terminal 32 .
  • the blade terminals 32 , 34 can be “stitched in” to the connector housing 30 in an automated manufacturing operation that is familiar to those in the art.
  • the first elongate member 40 also includes stops 46 which help to locate the terminal 32 to the proper depth in the connector housing 30 .
  • the second elongate member 42 includes a distal end 48 that is disposed away from the first elongate member 40 .
  • Proximate the distal end 48 is an aperture 50 which goes through the second elongate portion 42 .
  • an aperture such as the aperture 50 , need not be proximate a distal end, and could be located close to the first elongate member 40 .
  • the aperture 50 helps to overcome some of the problems associated with mounting SMT connectors and components to PC boards.
  • SMT connectors and components are often mounted to PC boards using an electrically conductive material, such as solder.
  • the surface tension that exists in liquid solder often inhibits a good connection between the solder and the terminal; this, in turn, inhibits a good electrical connection between the terminal and the PC board.
  • the aperture 50 in the terminal 32 helps to overcome the surface tension in a material such as solder, by drawing the liquid solder up through the aperture 50 and onto an upper surface of the terminal.
  • solder is used as an example, the present invention may also be effective to overcome surface tension in other electrically conductive materials.
  • FIG. 5 This phenomenon is illustrated in FIG. 5 .
  • the terminal 32 is shown attached to a portion of a PC board 52 .
  • the PC board 52 includes an aperture 54 which can be used, for example, to accommodate a through-hole terminal, such as the terminals 36 shown in FIG. 3 .
  • the connection between the terminal 32 and the PC board 52 is shown in detail in FIG. 5A .
  • a small amount of solder 56 is used to connect the terminal 32 to the PC board 52 .
  • a curved portion 58 Also shown in FIG. 5A , is that near the proximate end 42 of the second elongate member 42 there is a curved portion 58 .
  • the curved portion 58 includes a concave surface 60 and a convex surface 62 .
  • the solder 56 resides on both the concave surface 60 and the convex surface 62 because it has been drawn up through the aperture 50 .
  • a capillary action may occur, whereby the surface tension in the solder is overcome and the solder is drawn up through the aperture 50 to the concave surface 60 .
  • the aperture 50 need not be perfectly round. Moreover, as shown in FIG. 5A , a transverse cross section of the aperture 50 may be tapered such that the aperture 50 has a first diameter 64 at the concave surface 60 , and a second diameter 66 at the convex surface 62 that is larger than the first diameter 64 .
  • the shape of the transverse cross section of the aperture 50 will largely depend on how the curved portion 58 of the second elongate member 42 is formed. For example, if the aperture 50 is formed before the curved portion 58 is formed, the forming of the curved portion 58 may distort the otherwise rectangular cross section of the aperture 50 .
  • the aperture 50 and the curved portion 58 both help to facilitate a stronger connection between the terminal 32 and the PC board 52 .
  • the aperture 50 helps to overcome surface tension in the solder by drawing it up through the aperture so that the solder makes contact with both an upper and lower surface of the terminal 32 .
  • the curved portion 58 not only helps to contain the solder 56 in the concave portion 60 , but also helps to locate the terminal 32 on the PC board 52 . Processes for placement of electrical components and connectors, such as the connector 10 , tend to be highly automated. Thus, it is valuable to have reference points that are readily discernable through machine vision and other automated techniques.
  • the aperture 50 is located through the curved portion 58 of the second elongate member 42 , placement of the convex surface 62 over the solder 56 helps to ensure that the aperture 50 will receive the solder as it melts. Discerning a curved portion, such as the curved portion 58 , may be much easier for automated equipment than if the second elongate member 42 was completely flat.
  • the curved portion 58 may also be curved across a width of the second elongate member 42 , thereby creating a generally spherical curved surface which can be easily aligned with a convex and generally spherical surface 68 of the solder 56 .
  • the first and second elongate members 40 , 42 may be formed such that an obtuse angle (A) exists between them. This facilitates enhanced contact between the convex surface 62 and the solder 56 by introducing strain into the terminal 32 as the connector 10 is pressed onto the PC board 52 .
  • the first and second elongate members 40 , 42 can be stamped from a single piece of electrically conductive material in a single operation. It may be necessary, however, to use a secondary operation to form the angle (A) between the first and second elongate member 40 , 42 .
  • the aperture 50 can also be formed substantially simultaneously with the first and second elongate members 40 , 42 in the single operation stamping process.
  • the material used to make the terminal 32 may be coated with another material, as desired.
  • the terminal 32 is made from a copper alloy, it may be desirable to coat it with a material such as tin, or a tin alloy. This can help inhibit surface oxidation which might otherwise occur on the terminal 32 .
  • a coating, such as a tin coating can be applied before or after the aperture 50 is formed. This is because tin has a relatively low melting point, and if it fills the aperture 50 , it will melt away when exposed to the hot solder.
  • the present invention also provides flexibility with regard to manufacturing processes.
  • the shape of the aperture 50 may be altered if the curved portion 58 is formed after the aperture 50 is formed. Despite the alteration of the shape of the aperture 50 , the sequence of this process may be desirable, since the forming of the curved portion 58 can cause a material, such as a copper alloy, to be strain hardened. This would make it more difficult to form the aperture 50 , and require more energy in the manufacturing process. It is worth noting that some blade terminals may be too small to effectively stamp an aperture, such as the aperture 50 . In such a case, a laser or other method could be used to form the aperture. Once they are formed, the terminals 32 can be stitched-in, or otherwise secured to the connector housing 30 .
