Embodiments of the present application provide an electronic device 300. The electronic device 300 may be an electronic device having a communication function, a computing function, or other functions. For example, the electronic device 300 may be a server, a switch, a computer, a personal computer, or the like. It will be appreciated that embodiments of the present application do not further limit the variety of electronic device 300.

As shown in fig. 1, the electronic device 300 may include a connector assembly 200. The connector assembly 200 may include a female connector 201 and a connector 100, the connector 100 configured to mate with the female connector 201.

It will be appreciated that the shape of the connector 100 is adapted to the shape of the female connector 201 such that the connector 100 can be plugged with the female connector 201. In some examples, the female connector 201 may include a plurality of domes and the connector 100 may include a plurality of pins 117 (not shown in fig. 1, see fig. 2 and 3) that the pins 117 may be electrically connected to the domes when the connector 100 is mated with the female connector 201, such that signals may be transmitted between the connector 100 and the female connector 201.

In some examples, the number of pins 117 is the same as the number of clips. When the connector 100 is plugged with the female connector 201, the pins 117 can be electrically connected to the spring plates in a one-to-one correspondence.

In some examples, pin 117 may be a gold finger, in which case connector 100 may be a gold finger connector. By way of example, the material of the pins 117 may include a metal or alloy, for example, the material of the pins 117 may include at least one of copper, gold, silver, aluminum to enhance the conductive properties of the pins 117. The material of the plurality of pins 117 may be the same or different.

In some examples, as shown in fig. 2, electronic device 300 may include a switch management board 302 and a plurality of daughter cards 301. The switching management board 302 is capable of implementing at least one of a switching function and a management function for signals. Daughter cards 301 may include power daughter cards, network daughter cards, peripheral component interconnect express (PERIPHERAL COMPONENT INTERFACE EXPRESS, abbreviated as PCIe), daughter cards, and the like.

The number of sub-cards 301 may be two, three, four or more, it being understood that fig. 2 shows only two sub-cards 301 and fig. 3 shows only three sub-cards 301, and the number of sub-cards 301 is not further limited in embodiments of the present application.

By way of example, as shown in fig. 3, a plurality of daughter cards 301 may include a first daughter card 301a, a second daughter card 301b, and a third daughter card 301c. The types of the first sub card 301a, the second sub card 301b, and the third sub card 301c may be the same or different. The number of the female connectors 201 may be plural, and the plural female connectors 201 may be electrically connected to the exchange management board 302 and the plural daughter cards 301 in one-to-one correspondence.

For example, as shown in fig. 2 and 3, the plurality of female receptacle connectors 201 may include a first female receptacle connector 201a, a second female receptacle connector 201b, a third female receptacle connector 201c, and a fourth female receptacle connector 201d. The first female connector 201a may be electrically connected to the first daughter card 301a, the second female connector 201b may be electrically connected to the second daughter card 301b, the third female connector 201c may be electrically connected to the third daughter card 301c, and the fourth female connector 201d may be electrically connected to the switch management board 302.

The number of connectors 100 may be the same as the number of female connectors 201 so that the connectors 100 can be plugged with the female connectors 201 in a one-to-one correspondence. For example, as shown in fig. 2 and 3, the plurality of connectors 100 may include a first connector 100a, a second connector 100b, a third connector 100c, and a fourth connector 100d. The first connector 100a is configured to mate with the first female connector 201a, the second connector 100b is configured to mate with the second female connector 201b, the third connector 100c is configured to mate with the third female connector 201c, and the fourth connector 100d is configured to mate with the fourth female connector 201 d.

Thus, as shown in fig. 2, the first connector 100a and the second connector 100b may be electrically connected to the fourth connector 100d by the cable Q so that signals can be transmitted between the sub-cards 301 (the first sub-card 301a and the second sub-card 301 b) and the switch management board 302, or as shown in fig. 3, any two of the first connector 100a, the second connector 100b and the third connector 100c may be electrically connected by the cable Q so that signals can be transmitted between the sub-cards 301 (the first sub-card 301a, the second sub-card 301b and the third sub-card 301 c).

In some examples, as shown in fig. 2 and 3, the electronic device 300 may further include a cable box 303 (or cable back plate), the cable box 303 may include a housing 3032, the cable Q is disposed in the housing 3032, the connector 100 may be connected to the housing 3032, and a portion of the pin 117 along the extension direction (the first direction X) is located in the housing 3032 and electrically connected to the cable Q.

As illustrated in fig. 2 and 3, the cable box 303 may include a fixed member 3031, and the housing 3032 is coupled to the fixed member 3031. The fixing pieces 3031 are disposed on both sides of the connector 100 along the second direction Y, and function to fix the connector 100. The second direction Y intersects the extending direction (first direction X) of the leads 117. In some examples, the second direction Y is perpendicular to the first direction X.

As can be appreciated, by providing the cable box 303, the cable box 303 can play a supporting role on the plurality of connectors 100, so that the plurality of connectors 100 can be plugged with the plurality of female connectors 201 together, thereby improving convenience in plugging the connectors 100 with the female connectors 201. Further, the cable Q is provided in the cable box 303, so that the influence of the cable Q on other components of the electronic apparatus 300 can be reduced.

In the related art, the connector 100 may include a printed circuit board (printed circuit board, PCB) including conductive traces including a surface layer conductive trace and an inner layer conductive trace.

Illustratively, a conductive portion is disposed on the PCB board and is disposed on a surface layer of the PCB board for welding with the cable Q. The pins 117 are electrically connected with the conductive parts through surface layer conductive traces or inner layer conductive traces of the PCB board, so that the pins 117 can be electrically connected with the cable Q through the conductive traces and the conductive parts.

When the pins 117 are electrically connected to the conductive portions through the inner conductive traces, first conductive vias and second conductive vias need to be formed in the printed circuit board, and the first conductive vias and the second conductive vias extend along the thickness direction of the printed circuit board and are electrically connected to the inner conductive traces, respectively. The pin 117 is electrically connected to the first conductive via and the conductive portion is electrically connected to the second conductive via such that the pin 117 can be electrically connected to the cable Q through the inner conductive trace and the conductive portion.

Taking the electronic device 300 as an exchanger or a server as an example, with the development of the exchanger or the server, particularly the wide application of artificial intelligence (english: ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE, english: AI) technology, signals are required to have a higher transmission rate (such as a transmission rate of signals between a chip and a PCB and a transmission rate of signals between a PCB and a PCB).

By way of example, the transmission rate of signals needs to be advanced to 112G (english: gigabit, chinese name), 224G or higher. As a high-speed interconnection manner, the connector 100 generally adopts a PCB board as a substrate, and the pins 117 are electrically connected to the cable Q through the PCB board, which results in a large insertion loss and a low communication rate of the connector 100.

For example, when pin 117 is electrically connected to cable Q through a surface conductive trace of the PCB, signal transmission on the surface conductive trace may generate losses. When the pins 117 are electrically connected to the cable Q through the inner conductive traces of the PCB board, loss occurs in signal transmission on both the inner conductive traces and the conductive vias (including the first conductive via and the second conductive via). This results in a large insertion loss of the connector 100, which affects the signal transmission rate.

In some examples, an M8-level PCB board may be selected to reduce insertion loss of the connector 100 and increase the signal transmission rate. However, the connector 100 of the pcie5.0 high-speed link has used an M8-level PCB board, and no higher-level PCB board is available for upgrading again, which limits the development of the transmission rate of signals to 112G, 224G or higher.

It will be appreciated that the support 116 is not shown in fig. 10 and 11 in order to clearly illustrate the structure of the drawings.

Based on this, the embodiment of the present application provides a connector 100 for reducing the insertion loss of the connector 100 and improving the signal transmission rate. Referring to fig. 4 to 11, a connector 100 according to some embodiments of the present application is illustrated.

As shown in fig. 4 and 5, the connector 100 may include at least one sub-connection structure 110. In some examples, the connector 100 may include one sub-connection structure 110. In other examples, as shown in fig. 6 and 7, the connector 100 may also include two sub-connection structures 110. At this time, the two sub-connection structures 110 may be disposed at intervals in the third direction Z. It will be appreciated that the third direction Z intersects the plane in which the first direction X and the second direction Y lie. The third direction Z is, for example, perpendicular to the plane in which the first direction X and the second direction Y lie.

For example, as shown in fig. 4 to 7, the sub-connection structure 110 may include a first insulation portion 111 and a plurality of pins 117.

It will be appreciated that the first insulating portion 111 can function as insulation and shielding. In some examples, the material of the first insulating part 111 may include at least one of rubber, resin, polyvinyl chloride (english: polyvinyl chloride, english: PVC) and other high molecular materials. The material of the first insulating portion 111 is not further limited in the embodiment of the present application.

In some examples, as shown in fig. 8, the first insulating portion 111 may be a flat layered structure. The first insulating portion 111 has a first side P1 and a second side P2 disposed opposite to each other along the third direction Z, that is, the first side P1 and the second side P2 are opposite sides of the first insulating portion 111 along the third direction Z.

As shown in fig. 4 and 5, the plurality of pins 117 extend in the first direction X and are spaced apart in the second direction Y. It will be appreciated that the distance between the center line of one of the pins 117 and the center line of the other pin 117 adjacent to the one pin 117 in the second direction Y is the distance between the two pins 117 adjacent in the second direction Y. The distance between two pins 117 adjacent in the second direction Y may be adapted to be different when the connector 100 is plugged with different types of female socket connectors 201.

For example, when the connector 100 is plugged with a UBC (english full name: union bus connector, chinese name: unified bus connector) -DD-type female socket connector 201, the distance between two pins 117 adjacent in the second direction Y may be 0.6mm (unit: millimeter). When the connector 100 is plugged with a female socket connector 201 of the DD type, which is a Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable (english full name: quad Small Form-pluggable optical module), the distance between two pins 117 adjacent in the second direction Y may be 0.8mm. It will be appreciated that the distance between two pins 117 adjacent in the second direction Y may be other values, and the distance between two pins 117 adjacent in the second direction Y is not further limited in the embodiments of the present application.

In some examples, a portion of the plurality of pins 117 may be disposed on the first side P1 of the first insulation portion 111 and another portion of the pins 117 may be disposed on the second side P2 of the first insulation portion 111. In some examples, at least one pin 117 of the plurality of pins 117 may be disposed at the first side P1 and the second side P2 of the first insulating portion 111.

As will be appreciated, the first insulating portion 111 includes a first surface and a second surface disposed opposite in the third direction Z. The first side P1 of the first insulating portion 111 is adjacent to the first surface of the first insulating portion 111, and the second side P2 of the first insulating portion 111 is adjacent to the second surface of the first insulating portion 111.

When the pins 117 are disposed on the first side P1 of the first insulating portion 111 along the third direction Z, the pins 117 are close to the first surface of the first insulating portion 111. At this time, the pins 117 may be bonded to the first surfaces of the first insulating parts 111 such that the first insulating parts 111 can support the pins 117, or a gap may be provided between the pins 117 and the first surfaces of the first insulating parts 111. When the leads 117 are disposed on the second side P2 of the first insulating portion 111 along the third direction Z, the leads 117 are close to the second surface of the first insulating portion 111. At this time, the pins 117 may be attached to the second surface of the first insulating portion 111 so that the first insulating portion 111 can support the pins 117, or a gap may be provided between the pins 117 and the second surface of the first insulating portion 111.

In some examples, as shown in fig. 4 and 5, the plurality of pins 117 may include a plurality of signal pins 112, i.e., the sub-connection structure 110 may include a plurality of signal pins 112. By way of example, the sub-connection structure 110 may also include other pins, such as an isolation pin 113, a control pin (not shown), and the like.

It will be appreciated that the signal pin 112 may be used to transmit high speed signals such as high speed differential signals, ethernet signals, IB (english: infiniBand network) network signals, and the like. Or signal pin 112 may also be used to transmit low speed signals. The types of signals transmitted by the plurality of signal pins 112 may be the same or different. The embodiment of the present application does not further limit the kind of signal transmitted by the signal pin 112. The isolation pins 113 are used to isolate the signal pins 112 to reduce crosstalk of the signal during transmission. The control pin is used for transmission of control signals.

As shown in fig. 4 and 5, the plurality of signal pins 112 may extend in the first direction X and be spaced apart in the second direction Y. The plurality of signal pins 112 may include a first signal pin 1121 and a second signal pin 1122. It is understood that the number of the first signal pins 1121 may be plural, and the number of the second signal pins 1122 may be plural. The number of first signal pins 1121 may be the same as or different from the number of second signal pins 1122.

As illustrated in fig. 4 and 5, for example, the signal pins 112 are used to transmit high-speed differential signals, two first signal pins 1121 adjacent in the second direction Y may form a first differential signal pin group 118, and two second signal pins 1122 adjacent in the second direction Y may form a second differential signal pin group 119. The sub-connection structure 110 may include a plurality of first differential signal pin groups 118 and a plurality of second differential signal pin groups 119, the plurality of first differential signal pin groups 118 may be disposed at intervals along the second direction Y, and the plurality of second differential signal pin groups 119 may be disposed at intervals along the second direction Y.

It will be appreciated that, in order to clearly show the structures of the first insulating portion 111 and the signal pins 112, only one first differential signal pin group 118 and one second differential signal pin group 119 are shown in the drawings (for example, fig. 4 to 7) in the specification of the present application, and the number of the first differential signal pin group 118 and the second differential signal pin group 119 is not further limited.

In some examples, as shown in fig. 4 and 5, the first signal pin 1121 is disposed at a first side P1 of the first insulating portion 111 along the third direction Z.

As can be appreciated, the first signal pin 1121 is proximate to the first surface of the first insulating portion 111 along the third direction Z. In some examples, as shown in fig. 4 and 5, the first signal pin 1121 includes a first main body portion 1121a and a first connection portion 1121b, the first connection portion 1121b being connected to one end of the first main body portion 1121a along the first direction X (e.g., an end near the cable Q along the first direction X), the first connection portion 1121b being for connection with the cable Q. As shown in fig. 6, the first body portion 1121a may extend in the first direction X.

In some examples, the first signal pin 1121 may be an integrally formed structure to improve connection reliability between the first body portion 1121a and the first connection portion 1121 b. In some examples, the first connection portions 1121b of the plurality of first signal pins 1121 may be in a straight line in the second direction Y.

By way of example, the first connection portion 1121b may be connected to the cable Q by welding. In some examples, as shown in fig. 6, the first connection portion 1121b may be bent and extended away from the first insulation portion 111 in the third direction Z to improve convenience when the cable Q is connected with the first connection portion 1121 b. In some examples, the cable Q may be electrically connected to the first connection portion 1121b of the first signal pin 1121 in a one-to-one correspondence.

As can be appreciated, the first signal pin 1121 includes a first connection portion 1121b, where the first connection portion 1121b is configured to be connected to the cable Q, so that the first signal pin 1121 can be directly connected to the cable Q without being electrically connected to the cable Q through a PCB board, which avoids loss caused by signal transmission by the PCB board, reduces insertion loss of the connector 100, reduces loss in a unit distance (for example, 1 inch) during signal transmission, and increases a signal transmission rate.

In some examples, as shown in fig. 6 and 7, the second signal pin 1122 includes a second body portion 1122b, a third body portion 1122c, and a second connection portion 1122a. The second body portion 1122b and the third body portion 1122c are arranged along the first direction X, and the second body portion 1122b is electrically connected to the third body portion 1122 c.

The second body portion 1122b is disposed on the second side P2 of the first insulating portion 111 along the third direction Z, and the third body portion 1122c is disposed on the first side P1 or the second side P2 of the first insulating portion 111 along the third direction Z. The third body portion 1122c is provided at an end of the first body portion 1121a remote from the first connecting portion 1121b in the first direction X. The second connection portion 1122a is connected to an end of the second body portion 1122b remote from the third body portion 1122c in the first direction X, and the second connection portion 1122a is for connection with the cable Q.

It is understood that the second body portion 1122b may extend in the first direction X and the third body portion 1122c may extend in the first direction X. The lengths of the first body portion 1121a, the second body portion 1122b, and the third body portion 1122c extending in the first direction X may be the same or different.

As can be appreciated, the second body portion 1122b is proximate to the second surface of the first insulating portion 111 in the third direction Z, and the third body portion 1122c is proximate to the first surface or the second surface of the first insulating portion 111 in the third direction Z.

As illustrated in fig. 6 and 7, in the case where the third body portion 1122c is provided on the first side P1 of the first insulating portion 111 in the third direction Z, the third body portion 1122c and the second body portion 1122b are provided on both sides of the first insulating portion 111. At this time, the length of the second signal pin 1122 in the first direction X is less than or equal to the length of the first insulating portion 111 in the first direction X. The third body portion 1122c and the second body portion 1122b may be electrically connected to each other by another member (for example, a fourth body portion 1122 d).

When the third body portion 1122c is disposed on the first side P1 of the first insulating portion 111 along the third direction Z, the surface of the third body portion 1122c on the side away from the first insulating portion 111 may be flush or approximately flush with the surface of the first body portion 1121a on the side away from the first insulating portion 111, so as to improve the structural regularity of the connector 100.

For example, as shown in fig. 9, in the case where the third body portion 1122c is provided on the second side P2 of the first insulating portion 111 in the third direction Z, the third body portion 1122c and the second body portion 1122b are provided on the same side of the first insulating portion 111. At this time, the length of the second signal pin 1122 in the first direction X is greater than the length of the first insulating portion 111 in the first direction X. The third body portion 1122c and the second body portion 1122b may be directly electrically connected. As shown in fig. 5 and 6, the second connection portion 1122a is disposed on the second side P2 of the first insulating portion 111 along the third direction Z, and the second connection portion 1122a is connected to an end of the second body portion 1122b away from the third body portion 1122c along the first direction X. In some examples, the second connection portions 1122a of the plurality of second signal pins 1122 may be in a straight line in the second direction Y.

The second connection portion 1122a may be connected to the cable Q by welding, for example. In some examples, as shown in fig. 7, the second connection portion 1122a may be bent and extended away from the first insulation portion 111 in the third direction Z to improve convenience when the cable Q is connected with the second connection portion 1122 a. In some examples, the cable Q may be electrically connected to the second connection portion 1122a of the second signal pin 1122 in a one-to-one correspondence.

In some examples, the second signal pins 1122 may be an integrally formed structure to improve connection reliability between the second body portion 1122b, the third body portion 1122c, and the second connection portion 1122 a.

As can be appreciated, the second signal pin 1122 includes a second connection portion 1122a, where the second connection portion 1122a is configured to be connected with the cable Q, so that the second signal pin 1122 can be directly connected with the cable Q without being electrically connected with the cable Q through a PCB board, which avoids loss of signal transmission caused by the PCB board, reduces insertion loss of the connector 100, reduces loss in a unit distance (for example, 1 inch) during signal transmission, and increases a signal transmission rate.

In an embodiment of the present application, the first signal pin 1121 includes a first connection portion 1121b, and the first connection portion 1121b is configured to be connected to the cable Q, so that the cable Q and the first signal pin 1121 may be directly electrically connected. The second signal pin 1122 includes a second connection portion 1122a, and the second connection portion 1122a is configured to be connected to the cable Q, so that the cable Q and the second signal pin 1122 can be directly electrically connected.

In this way, the electrical connection between the cable Q and the signal pins 112 (including the first signal pin 1121 and the second signal pin 1122) does not need to pass through the PCB board, which avoids loss caused by signal transmission on the conductive trace and the conductive via of the PCB board, reduces insertion loss of the connector 100, reduces loss in a unit distance (for example, 1 inch) during signal transmission, and increases the signal transmission rate.

In addition, in the first direction X, the third body portion 1122c is disposed at an end of the first body portion 1121a away from the first connection portion 1121b, so that the connector 100 can implement a double-row pin arrangement, which improves the pin density of the connector 100 and facilitates miniaturization of the connector 100. The third body portion 1122c is disposed on the first side P1 or the second side P2 of the first insulating portion 111 along the third direction Z, which improves flexibility of the connector 100 in pin arrangement and meets different use requirements. That is, the connector 100 of the above arrangement can be realized with low loss, high speed, high pin density, and miniaturization.

In some examples, the above arrangement can reduce the insertion loss by 0.5db to 1db per unit length (e.g., 1 inch) compared to the related art using a PCB board as the substrate of the connector 100.

In some examples, as shown in fig. 5 and 6, when the third body portion 1122c is provided at the first side P1 of the first insulating portion 111 in the third direction Z, the first insulating portion 111 includes the first sub-insulating portion 1111 and the second sub-insulating portion 1112 (see fig. 8) connected in sequence in the first direction X.

It is understood that the first and second sub-insulating parts 1111 and 1112 may be directly connected, or other structures (e.g., the third sub-insulating part 1113) may be disposed between the first and second sub-insulating parts 1111 and 1112, and the first and second sub-insulating parts 1111 and 1112 may be connected to other structures (e.g., the third sub-insulating part 1113), respectively. For example, the first insulating part 111 may be an integrally molded structure to improve connection reliability between the first and second sub-insulating parts 1111 and 1112.

As can be appreciated, the first side P1 of the first insulating part 111 is the first side P1 of the first sub-insulating part 1111 and the first side P1 of the second sub-insulating part 1112, and the second side P2 of the first insulating part 111 is the second side P2 of the first sub-insulating part 1111 and the second side P2 of the second sub-insulating part 1112.

As illustrated in fig. 5 and 6, the first body portion 1121a is provided at a first side P1 of the first sub-insulating portion 1111 in the third direction Z, and the first connection portion 1121b is connected to an end of the first body portion 1121a remote from the second sub-insulating portion 1112. The second body portion 1122b is disposed on the second side P2 of the first sub-insulating portion 1111 in the third direction Z, and the third body portion 1122c is disposed on the first side P1 of the second sub-insulating portion 1112 in the third direction Z.

As can be appreciated, the first body portion 1121a is disposed on the first side P1 of the first sub-insulation portion 1111 along the third direction Z, the second body portion 1122b is disposed on the second side P2 of the first sub-insulation portion 1111 along the third direction Z, so that the second body portion 1122b and the first body portion 1121a can be disposed on opposite sides of the first sub-insulation portion 1111 along the third direction Z, thereby enabling the first insulation portion 111 (the first sub-insulation portion 1111) to perform the function of insulating and shielding between the first body portion 1121a and the second body portion 1122b, reducing the risk of short-circuiting between the first body portion 1121a and the second body portion 1122b, and improving the reliability of the connector 100 in use.

The third body portion 1122c is disposed on the first side P1 of the second sub-insulating portion 1112 along the third direction Z, so that in the first direction X, the third body portion 1122c can be disposed at an end of the first body portion 1121a away from the first connecting portion 1121b, thereby enabling the connector 100 to implement a double-row pin arrangement, improving the pin density of the connector 100, and facilitating miniaturization of the connector 100.

In addition, the first connection portion 1121b is connected to an end of the first main body portion 1121a away from the second sub-insulation portion 1112, and the second connection portion 1122a is connected to an end of the second main body portion 1122b away from the third main body portion 1122c, so that the first connection portion 1122b and the second connection portion 1122a can be disposed on opposite sides of the first sub-insulation portion 1111 in the third direction Z, and structural regularity of the connector 100 is improved.

In some examples, as shown in fig. 8, the first insulating portion 111 further includes a third sub-insulating portion 1113. The first and second sub-insulating portions 1111 and 1112 are disposed on both sides of the third sub-insulating portion 1113 in the first direction X, and the first and second sub-insulating portions 1111 and 1112 are connected to the third sub-insulating portion 1113, respectively. The third sub-insulating part 1113 is provided with an opening G penetrating the third sub-insulating part 1113 in the thickness direction (i.e., the third direction Z) of the third sub-insulating part 1113.

As can be appreciated, the third sub-insulating part 1113 is disposed between the first sub-insulating part 1111 and the second sub-insulating part 1112 in the first direction X. The first insulating part 111 may be an integrally formed structure to improve connection reliability among the first, second and third sub-insulating parts 1111, 1112 and 1113.

By way of example, the opening G in the third sub-insulating part 1113 may be a square opening, a rectangular opening, a circular opening, or another irregularly shaped opening, or the like. In some examples, the third sub-insulating part 1113 may include two rod-shaped structures extending in the first direction X, each of which has one end connected to the first sub-insulating part 1111 and the other end connected to the second sub-insulating part 1112, respectively, to enclose the opening G.

In some examples, as shown in fig. 7, the second signal pin 1122 may further include a fourth body portion 1122d, where the fourth body portion 1122d is disposed through the opening G of the third sub-insulating portion 1113, and one end of the fourth body portion 1122d is connected to one end of the second body portion 1122b near the opening G along the first direction X, and the other end of the fourth body portion 1122d is connected to one end of the third body portion 1122c near the opening G along the first direction X.

As can be appreciated, one end of the fourth body portion 1122d may be disposed at the second side P2 of the first sub-insulation portion 1111 in the third direction Z, such that one end of the fourth body portion 1122d may be connected to one end of the second body portion 1122b near the opening G in the first direction X. The fourth body portion 1122d is inserted through the opening G of the third sub-insulating portion 1113 such that the other end of the fourth body portion 1122d (the end far from the second body portion 1122 b) may be disposed at the first side P1 of the second sub-insulating portion 1112 along the third direction Z, so that the other end of the fourth body portion 1122d may be connected to the end of the third body portion 1122c near the opening G along the first direction X.

In some examples, the second signal pin 1122 may be an integrally formed structure to improve connection reliability among the second connection portion 1122a, the second body portion 1122b, the third body portion 1122c, and the fourth body portion 1122 d.

The opening G is formed in the third sub-insulating portion 1113, and the fourth body portion 1122d is inserted into the opening G, so that the fourth body portion 1122d can electrically connect the third body portion 1122c disposed on the first side P1 of the first insulating portion 111 along the third direction Z with the second body portion 1122b disposed on the second side P2 of the first insulating portion 111 along the third direction Z, so that the second signal pin 112 can be disposed on the first side P1 and the second side P2 of the first insulating portion 111 along the third direction Z, and the electrical connection between the second body portion 1122b and the third body portion 1122c is achieved without using the conductive via hole (e.g., the first conductive via hole or the second conductive via hole) of the PCB board, which avoids the loss generated when the signal is transmitted on the conductive via hole of the PCB board, reduces the insertion loss of the signal, and improves the signal efficiency of the connector 100.

In some examples, as shown in fig. 9, when the third body portion 1122c is located at the second side P2 of the first insulating portion 111 in the third direction Z, the third body portion 1122c protrudes from the first body portion 1121a in the first direction X.

For example, the length of the second signal pin 1122 along the first direction X may be greater than the length of the first signal pin 1121 along the first direction X, such that the third body portion 1122c protrudes from the first body portion 1121a in the first direction X. In some examples, a length of the first insulating portion 111 along the first direction X may be the same as a length of the first signal pin 1121 along the first direction X.

The arrangement is such that the first signal pin 1121 and the second signal pin 1122 can be stepped in the first direction X to reduce the interaction of the first signal pin 1121 and the second signal pin 1122 when electrically connected with the spring of the female connector 201.

In some examples, as shown in fig. 4, the sub-connection structure 110 may also include isolation pins 113. By way of example, the number of isolation pins 113 may be multiple. The number of isolation pins 113 may be the same as or different from the number of signal pins 112.

It will be appreciated that the isolation pins 113 can function as isolation crosstalk to reduce mutual interference between the signal pins 112 (between the two first signal pins 1121, between the two second signal pins 1122, or between the first signal pins 1121 and the second signal pins 1122).

As shown in fig. 4 and 6, the isolation pins 113 include at least two first isolation pins 1131 and at least two second isolation pins 1132. It is understood that the number of first isolated pins 1131 and the number of second isolated pins 1132 may be the same or different.

As illustrated in fig. 4 to 6, the first isolation pins 1131 are disposed on the first side P1 of the first insulating portion 111 along the third direction Z, and at least two first isolation pins 1131 are disposed on two sides of the first signal pin 1121 along the second direction Y.

As can be appreciated, the first isolation pin 1131 is disposed on the first side P1 of the first sub-insulation 1111 along the third direction Z. That is, the first insulation pin 1131 and the first body portion 1121a can be disposed on the same side of the first insulation portion 111 along the third direction Z.

As shown in fig. 4 to 6, at least two first isolation pins 1131 are disposed on both sides of the first signal pin 1121 along the second direction Y, so that the at least two first isolation pins 1131 can function to isolate the first signal pin 1121 from other signal pins. For example, at least two first isolation pins 1131 can isolate a first signal pin 1121 from a second signal pin 1122, or at least two first isolation pins 1131 can isolate a first signal pin 1121 from other first signal pins 1121. Thus, interference between signals during transmission can be reduced, and the reliability of the connector 100 can be improved.

In some examples, taking the first signal pin 1121 for transmitting a high-speed differential signal, two first signal pins 1121 form a first differential signal pin group 118, one first isolation pin 1131 is disposed on one side of the first differential signal pin group 118 along the second direction Y, and another first isolation pin 1131 is disposed on the other side of the first differential signal pin group 118 along the second direction Y. As shown in fig. 4, 5 and 10, the first isolation pin 1131 may not be shared between two first differential signal pin groups 118 adjacent in the second direction Y. That is, two first isolation pins 1131 are disposed between two first differential signal pin groups 118 adjacent in the second direction Y. Alternatively, as shown in fig. 11, two first differential signal pin groups 118 adjacent in the second direction Y may share the same first isolation pin 1131. At this time, one first isolation pin 1131 is disposed between two first differential signal pin groups 118 adjacent along the second direction Y.

In some examples, a length of the first isolation pin 1131 along the first direction X is greater than or equal to a length of the first signal pin 1121 along the first direction X to improve an isolation effect of the first isolation pin 1131 and reduce interference of signals.

In some examples, as shown in fig. 4 and 6, the first insulation pin 1131 may include a third connection part 1131b (see fig. 10 and 11) and a fifth body part 1131a, the fifth body part 1131a may extend in the first direction X, and the third connection part 1131b may be disposed at one end of the fifth body part 1131a in the first direction X and connected to the fifth body part 1131 a. The third connection 1131b may be used to connect (e.g., solder) with the cable Q such that the first isolation pin 1131 can be grounded through the cable Q.

In some examples, the first isolation pin 1131 may be an integrally formed structure to improve connection reliability between the third connection portion 1131b and the fifth body portion 1131 a. For example, the cable Q and the third connection portion 1131b of the first insulation pin 1131 may be electrically connected in one-to-one correspondence.

In some examples, along the second direction Y, at least two second isolation pins 1132 are located on either side of the second signal pin 1122. As can be appreciated, when the second signal pins 1122 are located on the first side P1 and the second side P2 of the first insulating portion 111 along the third direction Z, the second isolation pins 1132 are located on the first side P1 and the second side P2 of the first insulating portion 111 along the third direction Z. When the second signal pin 1122 is located at the second side P2 of the first insulating portion 111 along the third direction Z, the second isolation pin 1132 is located at the second side P2 of the first insulating portion 111 along the third direction Z. Specifically, as shown in fig. 4 and 5, the second isolation pin 1132 may include a sixth body portion 1132a and a seventh body portion 1132b.

As shown in fig. 5, the sixth body portion 1132a extends in the first direction X, and the sixth body portion 1132a may be disposed at the second side P2 of the first insulating portion 111 (the first sub-insulating portion 1111) in the third direction Z, so that the sixth body portion 1132a and the second body portion 1122b can be disposed at the same side of the first insulating portion 111 in the third direction Z.

The sixth body portions 1132a of the at least two second isolation pins 1132 are disposed on both sides of the second body portion 1122b of the second signal pin 1122 along the second direction Y, such that the sixth body portions 1132a of the at least two second isolation pins 1132 can function to isolate the second body portion 1122b of the second signal pin 1122 from other signal pins. For example, at least two second isolation pins 1132 (sixth body portion 1132 a) can isolate the second signal pin 1122 (second body portion 1122 b) from the first signal pin 1121, or at least two second signal pins 1132 (sixth body portion 1132 a) can isolate the second signal pin 1122 (second body portion 1122 b) from other second signal pins 1122. Thus, interference between signals during transmission can be reduced, and the reliability of the connector 100 can be improved.

In some examples, a length of the sixth body portion 1132a along the first direction X is greater than or equal to a length of the second body portion 1122b along the first direction X to improve an isolation effect of the sixth body portion 1132a and reduce signal interference.

For example, the seventh body portion 1132b may extend in the first direction X, and the seventh body portion 1132b and the third body portion 1122c are disposed on the same side of the first insulating portion 111 (the second sub-insulating portion 1112) in the third direction Z. For example, when the third body portion 1122c is provided on the first side P1 of the first insulating portion 111 in the third direction Z, the seventh body portion 1132b is provided on the first side P1 of the first insulating portion 111 in the third direction Z. When the third body portion 1122c is disposed on the second side P2 of the first insulating portion 111 in the third direction Z, the seventh body portion 1132b is disposed on the second side P2 of the first insulating portion 111 in the third direction Z.

As shown in fig. 6, in the second direction Y, the seventh body portions 1132b of the at least two second isolation pins 1132 are disposed on both sides of the third body portion 1122c of the second signal pin 1122, so that the seventh body portions 1132b of the at least two second isolation pins 1132 can function to isolate the third body portion 1122c of the second signal pin 1122 from other signal pins. For example, at least two second isolation pins 1132 (seventh body portion 1132 b) can isolate the second signal pin 1122 (third body portion 1122 c) from the first signal pin 1121, or at least two second signal pins 1132 (seventh body portion 1132 b) can isolate the second signal pin 1122 (third body portion 1122 c) from other second signal pins 1122. Thus, interference between signals during transmission can be reduced, and the reliability of the connector 100 can be improved.

In some examples, a length of the seventh body portion 1132b along the first direction X is greater than or equal to a length of the third body portion 1122c along the first direction X to improve an isolation effect of the seventh body portion 1132b and reduce signal interference.

In some examples, the second isolation pin 1132 may include a fourth connection 1132c (see fig. 10 and 11). The fourth connection portion 1132c may be disposed at an end of the sixth body portion 1132a remote from the seventh body portion 1132b along the first direction X, and connected to an end of the sixth body portion 1132a remote from the seventh body portion 1132 b. The fourth connection portion 1132c may be used to connect (e.g., weld) with the cable Q such that the sixth body portion 1132a can be grounded through the cable Q. For example, the cable Q and the fourth connection portion 1132c of the second isolation pin 1132 may be electrically connected in a one-to-one correspondence.

For example, when the sixth body portion 1132a and the seventh body portion 1132b are located on the same side of the first insulating portion 111 along the third direction Z (i.e., when the sixth body portion 1132a and the seventh body portion 1132b are both located on the second side P2 of the first insulating portion 111 along the third direction Z), the sixth body portion 1132a may be directly electrically connected to the seventh body portion 1132b, and thus, grounding the sixth body portion 1132a through the cable Q may enable the seventh body portion 1132b to be grounded. At this time, the sixth body portion 1132a and the seventh body portion 1132b may be integrally formed to improve connection reliability of the sixth body portion 1132a and the seventh body portion 1132 b.

For example, when the sixth body portion 1132a and the seventh body portion 1132b are located on opposite sides of the first insulating portion 111 along the third direction Z (i.e., when the sixth body portion 1132a is located on the second side P2 of the first insulating portion 111 along the third direction Z, and the seventh body portion 1132b is located on the first side P1 of the first insulating portion 111 along the third direction Z), the sixth body portion 1132a is grounded through the cable Q, and the sixth body portion 1132a and the seventh body portion 1132b may be electrically connected through the conductive structure, so that the seventh body portion 1132b may be grounded.

It will be appreciated that the conductive structure may connect the sixth body portion 1132a and the seventh body portion 1132b through an opening located on the third sub-insulating portion 1113, or the conductive structure may be encased within the first insulating portion 111 and electrically connect the sixth body portion 1132a and the seventh body portion 1132 b.

Or when the sixth body portion 1132a and the seventh body portion 1132b are located at opposite sides of the first insulating portion 111 along the third direction Z (i.e., when the sixth body portion 1132a is located at the second side P2 of the first insulating portion 111 along the third direction Z and the seventh body portion 1132b is located at the first side P1 of the first insulating portion 111 along the third direction Z), the sixth body portion 1132a is grounded through the cable Q, and the seventh body portion 1132b may be electrically connected to other grounding members (e.g., the first isolation portion 115) so that the seventh body portion 1132b can be grounded.

In some examples, taking the second signal pins 1122 to transmit high-speed differential signals, two second signal pins 1122 forming the second differential signal pin group 119 as an example, the sixth body portion 1132a of one second isolation pin 1132 may be disposed on one side of the second differential signal pin group 119 along the second direction Y, and the sixth body portion 1132a of the other second isolation pin 1132 may be disposed on the other side of the second differential signal pin group 119 along the second direction Y. Also, the seventh body portion 1132b of one second isolation pin 1132 may be disposed at one side of the second differential signal pin group 119 along the second direction Y, and the seventh body portion 1132b of the other second isolation pin 1132 may be disposed at the other side of the second differential signal pin group 119 along the second direction Y.

For example, as shown in fig. 4, 6 and 10, the second isolation pin 1132 may not be shared between two second differential signal pin groups 119 adjacent in the second direction Y. That is, two second isolation pins 1132 are provided between two second differential signal pin groups 119 adjacent in the second direction Y. Alternatively, as shown in fig. 11, two second differential signal pin groups 119 adjacent in the second direction Y may share the same second isolation pin 1132. At this time, one second isolation pin 1132 is provided between two second differential signal pin groups 119 adjacent in the second direction Y.

In some examples, as shown in fig. 4 and 6, the sub-connection structure 110 further includes a plurality of isolation connectors 114, the plurality of isolation connectors 114 including a first isolation connector 1141 and a second isolation connector 1142. It is understood that the number of first isolation connectors 1141 and the number of second isolation connectors 1142 may be the same or different.

As shown in fig. 7, the first insulating connector 1141 is disposed on the first side P1 of the first sub-insulating portion 1111 along the third direction Z. The first isolation connector 1141 is electrically connected to the end of the at least two first isolation pins 1131 remote from the first connection 1121b along the first direction X. For example, the first isolation connector 1141 is electrically connected to the end of at least two first isolation pins 1131 disposed on both sides of the first signal pin 1121 along the second direction Y, which is far from the first connection portion 1121b along the first direction X.

As can be appreciated, the first isolation connector 1141 is disposed on the first side P1 of the first sub-insulating portion 1111 along the third direction Z, such that the first isolation connector 1141, the first main body portion 1121a and the first isolation pin 1131 can be disposed on the same side of the first sub-insulating portion 1111 along the third direction Z.

For example, the first insulating connector 1141 may be bonded to the first surface of the first insulating portion 111 (the first sub-insulating portion 1111) such that the first insulating portion 111 is capable of supporting the first insulating connector 1141. Or the first insulating connector 1141 may have a gap with the first surface of the first insulating part 111 (the first sub-insulating part 1111).

For example, as shown in fig. 4 and 6, the first insulating connector 1141 may extend in the second direction Y. The first isolation connector 1141 is disposed at an end of the fifth body portion 1131a of the first isolation pin 1131 away from the third connecting portion. In this way, the first isolation connector 1141 is enabled to be electrically connected with the end portions of at least two first isolation pins 1131 located on both sides of the first signal pin 1121 in the second direction Y, which are away from the first connection portion 1121b (third connection portion) in the first direction X.

As can be appreciated, the at least two first isolation pins 1131 are located on two sides of the first signal pin 1121 along the second direction Y, and the first isolation connector 1141 is electrically connected with the ends of the at least two first isolation pins 1131 away from the first connection portion 1121b along the first direction X, so that the at least two first isolation pins 1131 and the first isolation connector 1141 can enclose the first signal pin 1121, so as to isolate the first signal pin 1121, and reduce mutual interference of signals during transmission.

For example, as shown in fig. 4, when the first signal pins 1121 transmit high-speed differential signals, and the two first signal pins 1121 form the first differential signal pin group 118, the first isolation pins 1131 and the first isolation connector 1141 can enclose the first differential signal pin group 118.

As can be appreciated, as shown in fig. 4 to 6, when the third body portion 1122c is disposed on the first side P1 of the second sub-insulation portion 1112 along the third direction Z, the fourth body portion 1122d is disposed through the opening G, and one end of the fourth body portion 1122d is connected to one end of the second body portion 1122b near the opening G along the first direction X, and the other end of the fourth body portion 1122d is connected to one end of the third body portion 1122c near the opening G along the first direction X.

At this time, at least two first isolation pins 1131 of the first isolation connector 114, which are located on both sides of the first signal pin 1121 along the second direction Y, are disposed to be electrically connected to the end portions of the first connection portion 1121b away from the first direction X, so that the first isolation connector 114 can isolate the first signal pin 1121 from the fourth body portion 1122d (the portion of the fourth body portion 1122d disposed on the first side P1 of the second sub-insulation portion 1112 along the third direction Z), and reduce the mutual interference between the first signal pin 1121 and the second signal pin 1122.

In some examples, the second isolation connector 1142 is disposed on the same side of the first insulating portion 111 in the third direction Z as the third body portion 1122 c. That is, as shown in fig. 4 and 6, when the third body portion 1122c is provided on the first side P1 of the second sub-insulation portion 1112 in the third direction Z, the second isolation connector 1142 is provided on the first side P1 of the second sub-insulation portion 1112 in the third direction Z. When the third body portion 1122c is disposed on the second side P2 of the second sub-insulating portion 1112 in the third direction Z (see fig. 9), the second isolation connector 1142 is disposed on the second side P2 of the second sub-insulating portion 1112 in the third direction Z.

When the second insulating connector 1142 is disposed on the first side P1 of the second sub-insulating portion 1112 along the third direction Z, the second insulating connector 1142 may be attached to the first surface of the first insulating portion 111 (the second sub-insulating portion 1112) so that the first insulating portion 111 can support the second insulating connector 1142, and a gap may also be provided between the second insulating connector 1142 and the first surface of the first insulating portion 111 (the second sub-insulating portion 1112). When the second insulating connector 1142 is disposed on the second side P2 of the second sub-insulating portion 1112 along the third direction Z, the second insulating connector 1142 may be attached to the second surface of the first insulating portion 111 (the second sub-insulating portion 1112) so that the first insulating portion 111 can support the second insulating connector 1142, and a gap may be formed between the second insulating connector 1142 and the second surface of the first insulating portion 111 (the second sub-insulating portion 1112).

In some examples, the second isolation link 1142 may extend in the second direction Y. The second isolation connector 1142 and the third body portion 1122c are disposed on the same side of the second sub-insulation portion 1112 in the third direction Z, and the third body portion 1122c and the seventh body portion 1132b of the second isolation pin 1132 are disposed on the same side of the second sub-insulation portion 1112 in the third direction Z, so that the third body portion 1122c, the second isolation connector 1142, and the seventh body portion 1132b of the second isolation pin 1132 can be disposed on the same side of the second sub-insulation portion 1112 in the third direction Z.

In some examples, as shown in fig. 4 and 6, the second isolation connector 1142 is electrically connected to an end of the seventh body portion 1132b remote from the sixth body portion 1132a in the first direction X. For example, the second isolation connector 1142 is electrically connected to the seventh body portion 1132b of the at least two second isolation pins 1132 located on both sides of the third body portion 1122c along the second direction Y, at an end of the seventh body portion 1132b remote from the fourth connection portion 1132c along the first direction X.

As can be appreciated, the seventh body portion 1132b of the at least two second isolation pins 1132 is located on two sides of the third body portion 1122c along the second direction Y, and the second isolation connector 1142 is electrically connected to one end of the seventh body portion 1132b away from the sixth body portion 1132a along the first direction X, so that the at least two second isolation pins 1132 (the seventh body portion 1132 b) and the second isolation connector 1142 can enclose the second signal pins 1122 (the third body portion 1122 c), so as to isolate the second signal pins 1122, and reduce mutual interference of signals during transmission.

For example, as shown in fig. 4 and 6, when the second signal pins 1122 transmit high-speed differential signals, and two second signal pins 1122 form the second differential signal pin group 119, the second isolation pins 1132 and the second isolation connector 1142 can enclose the second differential signal pin group 119.

In some examples, as shown in fig. 7, at least a portion of a side surface of isolation connector 114 (including first isolation connector 1141 and second isolation connector 1142) remote from first insulator portion 111 is flush or approximately flush with a side surface of pin 117 (including signal pin 112 and isolation pin 113) remote from first insulator portion 111.

For example, when the first and second insulating connectors 1141 and 1142 are each provided on the first side P1 of the first insulating portion 111 in the third direction Z, as shown in fig. 6, at least a portion of the surface of the insulating connector 114 (including the first and second insulating connectors 1141 and 1142) on the side away from the first surface of the first insulating portion 111 is flush or approximately flush with the surfaces of the first and third main body portions 1121a and 1122c on the side away from the first surface of the first insulating portion 111.

When the first insulating connector 1141 is disposed on the first side P1 of the first insulating portion 111 along the third direction Z and the second insulating connector 1142 is disposed on the second side P2 of the first insulating portion 111 along the third direction Z, at least a portion of the surface of the first insulating connector 1141 on the side away from the first surface of the first insulating portion 111 is flush or approximately flush with the surface of the first body 1121a on the side away from the first surface of the first insulating portion 111, and at least a portion of the surface of the second insulating connector 1142 on the side away from the second surface of the first insulating portion 111 is flush or approximately flush with the surfaces of the second body 1122b and the third body 1122c on the side away from the second surface of the first insulating portion 111.

It will be appreciated that providing at least a portion of the insulating connector 114 (including the first insulating connector 1141 and the second insulating connector 1142) away from the surface of the first insulating portion 111, which is flush or approximately flush with the surface of the pin 117 (including the signal pin 112 and the insulating pin 113) away from the side of the first insulating portion 111, can reduce the risk of scraping the pin 117 against the spring sheet (or other structure) of the female connector 201 when the connector 100 is plugged into the female connector 201, and improve the reliability of use of the connector 100.

In some examples, the surface of the isolation connection 114 on the side remote from the first insulating portion 111 may be a cambered surface.

In some examples, the first body portion 1121a and the second body portion 1122b are disposed opposite in the third direction Z.

It will be appreciated that the first body portion 1121a and the second body portion 1122b are disposed opposite in the third direction Z, i.e., the orthographic projection of the first body portion 1121a onto the first insulating portion 111 at least partially overlaps the orthographic projection of the second body portion 1122b onto the first insulating portion 111.

It is understood that the first body portion 1121a and the second body portion 1122b may be disposed diametrically opposite each other along the third direction Z, and the first body portion 1121a and the second body portion 1122b may be disposed partially opposite each other along the third direction Z.

As shown in fig. 9, the sub-connection structure 110 further includes a first isolation portion 115, and the first isolation portion 115 is covered by the first insulation portion 111. The first partition 115 is disposed between the first body 1121a and the second body 1122b along the third direction Z.

It will be appreciated that the first isolation portion 115 may act as an isolation to reduce the interference between the first body portion 1121a and the second body portion 1122b, i.e., to reduce the interference between the signal transmitted on the first signal pin 1121 and the signal transmitted on the second signal pin 1122.

It will be appreciated that the first isolation portion 115 can isolate the first signal pin 1121 (first body portion 1121 a) and the second signal pin 1122 (second body portion 1122 b) in the third direction Z, and the isolation pin 113 and the isolation connection 114 can isolate the first signal pin 1121 and the second signal pin 1122 in the first direction X and the second direction Y. Thus, three-dimensional isolation of the signal pins 112 can be realized, mutual interference of signals during transmission is reduced, and the use reliability of the connector 100 is improved.

By way of example, the material of the first spacer 115 may include a conductive material, such as at least one of copper, gold, silver, or aluminum, etc. In some examples, the first isolation portion 115 may be grounded such that the first isolation portion 115 can function as an isolation.

In some examples, a length of the first isolation portion 115 along the first direction X is greater than or equal to a length of the first body portion 1121a and the second body portion 1122b along the first direction X to increase an isolation effect of the first isolation portion 115 on the first body portion 1121a and the second body portion 1122 b.

In addition, the first insulating portion 111 is arranged to cover the first isolation portion 115, so that the first insulating portion 111 can serve to electrically isolate the first isolation portion 115 from the pins 117 (including the signal pins 112 and the isolation pins 113), the risk of short circuit between the first isolation portion 115 and the pins 117 is reduced, and the use reliability of the connector 100 is improved.

As can be seen from the foregoing, in some examples, the first isolation pin 1131 may include a third connection portion 1131b, the second isolation pin 1132 may include a fourth connection portion 1132c, and the third connection portion 1131b and the fourth connection portion 1132c are configured to connect to the cable Q, so that the first isolation pin 1131 and the second isolation pin 1132 can be grounded through the cable Q to perform an isolation function.

In other examples, the first separator 115 is grounded. The isolation pin 113 may be electrically connected with the first isolation portion 115.

It will be appreciated that the first isolation portion 115 is grounded and the isolation pin 113 (e.g., the first isolation pin 1131 or the second isolation pin 1132) is electrically connected to the first isolation portion 115 such that the first isolation pin 1131 and the second isolation pin 1132 can be grounded to function as an isolation.

For example, the isolation pin 113 may be electrically connected to the first isolation portion 115 by punching, so that the first isolation pin 1131 and the second isolation pin 1132 can be grounded.

In some examples, when the sixth body portion 1132a and the seventh body portion 1132b are located on opposite sides of the first insulating portion 111 in the third direction Z (see fig. 6 and 7), the first isolation pin 1131 may be grounded through the cable Q, the sixth body portion 1132a of the second isolation pin 1132 may be grounded through the cable Q, and the seventh body portion 1132b of the second isolation pin 1132 may be electrically connected to the first isolation pin 1131 through a hole so that the second isolation pin 1132 may be grounded.

In some examples, as shown in fig. 8, the sub-connection structure 110 further includes a supportable portion 116, the supportable portion 116 being connected with the first insulating portion 111.

It is understood that the support portion 116 is provided in connection with the first insulating portion 111 such that the support portion 116 can function to support the first insulating portion 111. In some examples, the support portion 116 and the first insulating portion 111 may be an integrally formed structure therebetween to improve connection reliability between the support portion 116 and the first insulating portion 111.

In some examples, as shown in fig. 8, the supporting portion 116 and the first insulating portion 111 enclose a first groove D1 and a second groove D2, the first groove D1 is disposed on a first side P1 of the first insulating portion 111 along the third direction Z, and the second groove D2 is disposed on a second side P2 of the first insulating portion 111 along the third direction Z.

By way of example, the first and second grooves D1 and D2 may be rectangular grooves. In some examples, the first groove D1 is disposed at a first side P1 of the first sub-insulation 1111 in the third direction Z, and the second groove D2 is disposed at a second side P2 of the first sub-insulation 1111 in the third direction Z.

In some examples, as shown in fig. 8, the support 116 may include two first sub-portions 1161 and two second sub-portions 1162. The two first sub-portions 1161 may be disposed on a first side P1 of the first sub-insulating portion 1111 along the third direction Z, and disposed at intervals along the second direction Y, so as to enclose a first groove D1 with the first sub-insulating portion 1111. The two second sub-portions 1162 may be disposed on the second side P2 of the first sub-insulating portion 1111 along the third direction Z, and disposed at intervals along the second direction Y, so as to enclose the second groove D2 with the first sub-insulating portion 1111. The depth of the first groove D1 in the third direction Z and the depth of the second groove D2 in the third direction Z may be the same or different.

In some examples, the support portion 116 and the first insulating portion 111 may be an integrally formed structure to improve connection reliability between the support portion 116 and the first insulating portion 111.

As shown in fig. 8, at least a portion of the first connecting portion 1121b along the first direction X is disposed in the first groove D1, and at least a portion of the second connecting portion 1122a along the first direction X is disposed in the second groove D2.

As can be appreciated, the first connection portion 1121b is disposed in the first groove D1 along at least a portion of the first direction X, and the second connection portion 1122a is disposed in the second groove D2 along at least a portion of the first direction X, such that the first connection portion 1121b and the second connection portion 1122a can be disposed on both sides of the first sub-insulation portion 1111 along the third direction Z. In this way, the first sub-insulating portion 1111 of the first insulating portion 111 can function to shield and insulate the first connecting portion 1121b and the second connecting portion 1122a, and the risk of short-circuiting between the first connecting portion 1121b and the second connecting portion 1122a is reduced.

The first insulating portion 111 covers the first isolation portion 115, so that the first isolation portion 115 can be disposed between the first connection portion 1121b and the second connection portion 1122a along the third direction Z, so as to isolate the first connection portion 1121b and the second connection portion 1122a, and reduce mutual interference during signal transmission.

In addition, at least a portion of the first connection portion 1121b is disposed in the first groove D1, and at least a portion of the second connection portion 1122a is disposed in the second groove D2, so that the arrangement regularity of the first signal pins 1121 and the second signal pins 1122 can be improved.

In some examples, as shown in fig. 10, the first and second connection portions 1121b and 1122a are disposed at intervals along the first direction X.

In some examples, as shown in fig. 10, the plurality of first connection parts 1121b may be aligned in a straight line in the second direction Y, and the plurality of second connection parts 1122a may be aligned in a straight line in the second direction Y. The straight lines in which the plurality of first connection portions 1121b are arranged in the second direction Y and the straight lines in which the plurality of second connection portions 1122a are arranged in the second direction Y may be provided at intervals along the first direction X.

As can be appreciated, the first and second connection portions 1121b, 1122a are provided at intervals along the first direction X, so that the mutual influence between the cable Q welded to the first connection portion 1121b and the cable Q welded to the second connection portion 1122a can be reduced, and the convenience in welding the cable Q to the connector 100 can be improved.

In some examples, referring again to fig. 6 and 7, the sub-connection structure 110 may include a first sub-connection structure 110a and a second sub-connection structure 110b. The first sub-connection structure 110a and the second sub-connection structure 110b are disposed at intervals along the third direction Z. The first sub-connection structure 110a and the second sub-connection structure 110b are connected, and the second side P2 of the first insulation part 111 of the first sub-connection structure 110a is close to the second side P2 of the first insulation part 111 of the second sub-connection structure 110b.

For example, the support portion 116 of the first sub-coupling structure 110a may be connected with the support portion 116 of the second sub-coupling structure 110 b. In some examples, the support portion 116 of the first sub-connection structure 110a and the support portion 116 of the second sub-connection structure 110b may be integrally formed to improve connection reliability between the first sub-connection structure 110a and the second sub-connection structure 110 b.

As shown in fig. 6, the second side P2 of the first insulating portion 111 of the first sub-connection structure 110a is close to the second side P2 of the first insulating portion 111 of the second sub-connection structure 110b, that is, the first sub-connection structure 110a and the second sub-connection structure 110b can be mirror symmetrical in the third direction Z.

As can be appreciated, the sub-connection structure 110 includes two rows of signal pins (the first body portion 1121a and the third body portion 1122 c) arranged along the first direction X, and on this basis, the connector 100 is provided to include two sub-connection structures 110 (the first sub-connection structure 110a and the second sub-connection structure 110 b), so that the connector 100 can implement double-sided two rows of pins, and the pin density of the connector 100 is improved, which is advantageous for miniaturization of the connector 100.

In some examples, as shown in fig. 6, the connector 100 may further include a second insulation part 121, the second insulation part 121 being disposed between the first and second sub-connection structures 110a and 110b along the third direction Z, the second insulation part 121 being connected to the first and second sub-connection structures 110a and 110 b.

It will be appreciated that the second insulating portion 121 can serve to electrically isolate the first sub-connection structure 110a from the second sub-connection structure 110b, reducing the risk of shorting between the pins 117 (e.g., signal pins 112 or isolation pins 113) in the first sub-connection structure 110a and the pins 117 (e.g., signal pins 112 or isolation pins 113) in the second sub-connection structure 110b, and improving the reliability of the connector 100 in use.

In some examples, as shown in fig. 9, the connector 100 further includes a second spacer 122. The second insulating portion 121 covers the second isolation portion 122.

As can be appreciated, the second isolation portion 122 can be disposed between the first sub-connection structure 110a and the second sub-connection structure 110b along the third direction Z to perform an isolating function, so as to reduce the interaction between the first sub-connection structure 110a and the second sub-connection structure 110b and reduce the interaction between signals.

In addition, the second insulating portion 121 is arranged to cover the second isolation portion 122, so that the second insulating portion 121 can electrically isolate the second isolation portion 122 from the pins 117 (including the signal pins 112 and the isolation pins 113), the risk of short circuit between the second isolation portion 122 and the pins 117 is reduced, and the use reliability of the connector 100 is improved.

By way of example, the material of the second spacer 122 may include a conductive material, such as at least one of copper, gold, silver, or aluminum, etc. It will be appreciated that the material of the second separator 122 may be the same as or different from the material of the first separator 115. In some examples, the second isolation portion 122 may be grounded such that the second isolation portion 122 can function as an isolation.

In some examples, the connector 100 further includes a plastic package and a housing. The plastic package is filled between any adjacent two of the leads 117, and the leads are exposed to the plastic package. A housing (not shown) encloses the sub-connection structure 110.

By way of example, the material of the plastic package portion may include at least one of a high molecular material such as rubber, resin, PVC, and the like. It will be appreciated that the material of the plastic package is not further limited by the embodiments of the present application.

As can be appreciated, the plastic package is disposed between any two adjacent pins 117 (including two pins 117 adjacent along the first direction X, two pins 117 adjacent along the second direction Y, and two pins 117 adjacent along the third direction Z), which can electrically isolate any two adjacent pins 117, reduce the risk of a short circuit between any two adjacent pins 117, and improve the reliability of the connector 100. In addition, the plastic packaging part can also play a role in protecting the pins 117, so that the risk of damage to the pins 117 is reduced, and the service life of the connector 100 is prolonged.

For example, a surface of the side of the pin 117 away from the first insulating portion 111 may be exposed to the plastic package portion, so as to avoid the plastic package portion from affecting the electrical connection between the pin 117 and the spring plate.

By way of example, when the connector 100 includes the first sub-connection structure 110a and the second sub-connection structure 110b, the plastic package portion can be filled not only between any two adjacent pins 117, but also between the first sub-connection structure 110a and the second sub-connection structure 110b, so that the connector 100 can implement three-dimensional plastic package, an electrical isolation effect of the plastic package portion between any two adjacent pins 117 is improved, and a protection effect of the plastic package portion on the pins 117 is improved.

It will be appreciated that the housing is provided to encase the sub-connection structure 110 such that the housing protects the sub-connection structure 110 and extends the useful life of the connector 100. When the connector 100 includes the first sub-connection structure 110a and the second sub-connection structure 110b, the housing can encase the first sub-connection structure 110a and the second sub-connection structure 110b.

In summary, the embodiments of the present application have at least the following advantages:

In addition, in the first direction X, the third body portion 1122c is disposed on a side of the first body portion 1121a away from the first connection portion 1121b, so that the connector 100 can implement a double-row pin arrangement, which improves the pin density of the connector 100 and facilitates miniaturization of the connector 100. The third body portion 1122c is disposed on the first side P1 or the second side P2 of the first insulating portion 111 along the third direction Z, which improves flexibility of the connector 100 in pin arrangement and meets different use requirements.

That is, the connector 100 of the above arrangement can be realized with low loss, high speed, high pin density, and miniaturization.
