Definitions
- Coaxial electrical connector element and coaxial electrical connector comprising such an element.
- the present invention relates to a coaxial electrical connector element as well as a coaxial electrical connector comprising such an element and also performing a switching function.
- Such connectors are in particular used in the telecommunications field, in particular for connecting portable devices such as portable telephones to a test device, or an external antenna or electronic equipment in particular when the portable telephone is to be used in a motor vehicle. .
- the central conductor and the third conductor of the first connector element are formed by two elastic conductive strips in mutual support in the uncoupled position of the connector, and the central conductor of the second connector element connector supported on an extension of the insulation provided in this second connector element, engages, during coupling connector elements, between the two elastic conductive strips by spreading them apart.
- the first connector element can be a base mounted on a printed circuit board and the second connector element can be a plug mounted at the end of a coaxial cable and capable of engaging in the base.
- the first connector element forming a base is mounted on the printed circuit board in an "edge card" arrangement, that is to say that the axis of the base is parallel to the menu.
- coaxial electrical connectors cannot, in practice, be as miniaturized as might be desired, while being of economical design, due, in particular, to the structure of the second connector element forming a plug, in particular taking into account the arrangement of the central conductor thereof and of the insulator which holds the central conductor.
- Known coaxial connectors therefore have a complementary connector element, forming a base, of relatively large size, especially in the axial direction.
- the present invention proposes to produce a coaxial electrical connector element which can be used in particular in a coaxial electrical connector also ensuring a switching function, making it possible to achieve a high degree of miniaturization while being of economical design, by a new embodiment of the contact central.
- the connector element according to the invention ensures, when used with a complementary switching connector element, excellent radioelectric isolation between the two electrical lines to be switched.
- the present invention relates to a coaxial electrical connector element comprising a central conductor and an external body forming a ground contact, made of conductive material or coated with a conductive material, defining a cylindrical interior cavity, characterized in that the conductor central is a metallized track made on one face of a printed circuit board, preferably of elongated rectangular shape, held in said body by being arranged diametrically in said cavity, the printed circuit board comprising, in addition to said metallized track forming central contact, at least one metallized zone produced on the face of the wafer opposite to that comprising said track and / or on the face comprising said track, the one or more metallized areas being electrically connected to ground by being in contact with the body of said connector element.
- the central contact track according to the invention alone constitutes a microwave transmission line, with respect to the metallized zone or zones in contact with the ground.
- the printed circuit board is held in the body by being engaged in diametrically opposite grooves of the inner wall of an extension of narrowed section of said body.
- the connector element may have a straight or angled shape.
- the present invention also relates to a coaxial electrical connector for ensuring a switching function, comprising a first connector element comprising centrally two elastic conductive blades in mutual support in the uncoupled position of the connector and an external ground conductor which surrounds said blades by being separated from them by an insulator, characterized in that it comprises, as second connector element, a connector element as defined above, allowing during its coupling with the first connector element move said elastic strips apart from one another by making electrical contact between one of said strips, constituting the central conductor of said first connector element, and the conductive metallic track forming central conductor of the second connector element .
- FIG. 1 is a schematic view of a connector element coaxial according to the invention, arranged as a plug placed at the end of a coaxial cable,
- FIG. 1 is a perspective view partially in section of an element connector complementary to that of FIG. 1,
- FIG. 3 is a perspective view partially in section of the elements of the connectors of FIGS. 1 and 2 in the assembled position
- the coaxial electrical connector element according to the invention illustrated in FIG. 1 comprises an external body 1 forming a ground contact, internally defining a cylindrical cavity 2 in which is placed a printed circuit board of elongated rectangular shape 3.
- the printed circuit board 3 is held by being retained at its end in two diametrically opposite grooves 4 made in the inner wall of an extension of the body, of narrowed section of cylindro-conical shape 5 , the end edge of the plate 3 being at the end face of the extension 5.
- the plate has on one of its faces a metallized track 6 extending substantially axially in the connector element once the wafer 3 placed in it, said track 6 extending from one end to the other or substantially from one end to the other of said wafer.
- this metallized track which constitutes the central conductor of the connector element in which it is mounted, will be described later with reference to FIGS. 4 and 6.
- the track 6 of the plate is brought to be connected to a conductor of a connected element, in particular, as seen in FIG. 3, the central conductor 7 of a coaxial cable comprising an external ground conductor 8, separated by an insulator 9 from the central conductor 7.
- the body 1 of the connector element is arranged to receive in its central cavity 2 the coaxial cable as seen in FIG. 3 .
- the connector element illustrated in FIG. 1 can be used in conjunction with a complementary connector element in the form of a base, illustrated in FIG. 2, to produce a coaxial electrical connector making it possible to provide a switching function.
- the base illustrated in FIG. 2, and which is found in the assembled position in FIG. 3, comprises a cylindrical body 10 having a flared upper part 11 forming a ground conductor, capable of being fixed by lugs 12 to a ground line of a printed circuit board, not shown, perpendicular to which the base is mounted.
- the base comprises two conductive metal blades 13a, 13b bearing against each other in the rest position, as seen in FIG. 2, connected by lugs 14 to tracks on the printed circuit board (not shown), the blades 13a, 13b being separated from the body 10 of the base by insulating bodies 15.
- the two connector elements are assembled, the blade 13a then coming into contact with the track 6 forming a central contact, the blade 13b coming into contact with the opposite face of the printed circuit board 3 which, as will be seen in connection with FIGS. 5 and 7, may or may not have a metallized face.
- the track 6 of the wafer 3 ensures in the switched position, illustrated in FIG. 3, electrical continuity between the blade 13a and the central conductor 7 of the coaxial cable.
- the blades 13a and 13b return to mutual support.
- the body 1 forming a ground contact can be made of a conductive material or, where appropriate, of a non-conductive material metallized in the zones, interior and respectively exterior, in which, in the assembled position, it is brought into contact respectively. of the ground conductor 8 of the coaxial cable and of the body 10, 11 of the base, as well as in contact with the metallized areas forming ground contact of the wafer which will be described in more detail below.
- FIGS. 4 and 5 illustrate alternative embodiments of metallizations on the two respective faces of the printed circuit board 3.
- FIGS. 4 and 5 correspond to an embodiment of the "stripline line" type.
- FIGS. 4a, 4b, 4c illustrate variants of the metallized track 6 forming the central conductor of the connector element illustrated in FIG. 1.
- the track has flared end portions, and therefore has, in plan view, a general shape of dumbbell.
- the track 6 extends to the ends of the card.
- the flared end portion has the advantage of ensuring electrical contact with the signal strip 13a of the complementary connector element, even in the event of incorrect positioning. It was found that after a large number of operations, the blades of the base could wear despite the coatings used. In this case, it can become difficult to obtain a reliable contact in the unswitched position and illustrated in FIG. 2.
- the opposite face of the card is intended to come into contact with the opposite blade 13b of the base.
- this face of the printed circuit board is metallized over its entire surface, the metallization 16 being apparent over the entire surface as illustrated in FIG. 5a or covered in its central part by an insulating varnish as seen in FIG. 5b allowing the blade 13b of the base to be kept isolated.
- This extra thickness imparted by the insulating varnish ensures better insulation between electrical paths.
- Figures 6 and 7 show alternative embodiments of the "coplanar line" type.
- the face of the plate comprising the metallized track 6 forming a contact central comprises a metallization 17 transforming the microwave line into a coplanar type line.
- the ground plane on the opposite face formed by a metallization 16 can be maintained by being coated if necessary with an insulating varnish as in the case of FIG. 5b, (FIGS. 7b and 7c) or even deleted (FIG. 7a) without too severe performance degradation.
- orifices passing through 18 with a metallized wall four in number in the example illustrated, can be arranged by putting the mass metallizations of the two opposite faces of the printed circuit board 3.
- the present invention makes it possible, thanks to the design of the connector element forming a plug, as illustrated in FIG. 1, to fabricate complementary connector elements in the form of a socket of great simplicity and which can be obtained by mass production means, the body being obtainable, for example, by deep drawing and the elastic blades by cutting.
- the connector element according to the invention is used with a connector element such as a base, illustrated in FIG. 2, to ensure a switching function, excellent insulation is obtained.
- the insulator being in fact the body of the printed circuit board 3 provided with metallizations.
- the use of such a thin printed circuit board as a metallized track support forming a central contact makes it possible to reduce the size of the connector, in particular of the connector element forming a base, in particular by reducing the length of the elastic blades. of the latter which, insofar as they undergo little deflection, during assembly can therefore be shorter. High mechanical endurance is obtained with wear occurring on the blades in different zones in the switched and unswitched position, as has been explained above.
