Please refer to FIG. 1 to FIG. 11 , which is an embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that the related quantity and appearance mentioned in the embodiment are only used to specifically describe the creation. The implementation is to facilitate understanding of its content, and is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. The present embodiment provides an electrical connector 100 that is suitable for high-speed transmission (eg, a transmission rate of preferably 12.5 Gbps), and the type of the electrical connector 100 is suitable for plug-in boards in this embodiment. The TCA connector is taken as an example, but the type of the electrical connector 100 of the present invention is not limited thereto.

Referring to FIG. 1 to FIG. 3A , the electrical connector 100 includes a long insulated housing 1 , a plurality of pairs of differential signal chips 2 , a plurality of grounding shields 3 , three serial connectors 4 , and an insulating layer . The bottom plate 5 of the housing 1. The combination of the insulating housing 1 and the bottom plate 5 is defined as a housing 10 in the present embodiment, and the housing 10 defines a longitudinal direction L, a width direction W, and a height direction H which are perpendicular to each other. The differential signal The opposite ends of the strip 2 and the grounding shield 3 (eg, the top and the bottom) are respectively inserted into the insulating housing 1 and the bottom plate 5 and arranged in a row along the length direction L, and any two adjacent ground shielding sheets 3 There is a pair of differential signal chips 2 between them. The signal transmission portion of each pair of differential signal chips 2 in the insulative housing 1 (ie, the fixed section 221 and the mating section 222 as described below) is completely shielded by the adjacent ground shield 3 in the longitudinal direction L. It should be explained that the "complete" masking of this embodiment means that when viewed in a specific direction, the object to be shielded cannot be seen.

It should be noted that the insulating housing 1 has a mounting surface 11 (corresponding to the bottom surface of the insulating housing 1 in FIG. 2), two positioning posts 12, and an insertion opening 13 on the opposite side of the mounting surface 11. The positioning post 12 is integrally formed by the two ends of the mounting surface 11 in the longitudinal direction L. And the mounting surface 11 defines a mounting opening 111 between the two positioning posts 12 for the differential signal piece 2, the grounding shielding piece 3, the serial connecting piece 4, and the bottom plate 5 to be installed in the insulating housing 1 . . The insertion opening 13 is formed at one end of the insulating housing 1 away from the bottom plate 5 (as shown in the top of the insulating housing 1 shown in FIG. 1) for insertion of a card or a corresponding connector (not shown). Furthermore, the outer casing 10 has an abutting surface (such as the mounting surface 11 or the bottom surface of the bottom plate 5) on the opposite side of the insertion opening 13. When the electrical connector 100 is mounted on a circuit board (not shown), the positioning post 12 of the insulative housing 1 is inserted into the circuit board, and the mounting surface 11 is substantially abutted against the board surface of the circuit board. The abutting surface of the outer casing 10 is exemplified by the bottom surface of the bottom plate 5 in the embodiment, but the abutting surface is defined as the surface of the outer casing 10 away from the insertion opening 13 (ie, corresponding to the surface of the circuit board). The surface of the outer casing 10, in other words, in another embodiment not shown, if the surface of the outer casing 10 remote from the insertion opening 13 is the mounting surface 11 of the insulating casing 1 (corresponding to the mounting surface 11 of the insulating casing 1 The abutting surface of the outer casing 10 is the mounting surface 11 of the insulating casing 1 described above.

Referring to FIG. 4A to FIG. 6B , the configurations of the pair of differential signal chips 2 are substantially the same, and thus only one pair of differential signal chips 2 and their adjacent grounding screens are illustrated in FIG. 4A . The mask 3, only a pair of differential signal sheets 2 are illustrated in Figs. 5A and 5B, and only one of the differential signal sheets 2 is illustrated in Figs. 6A and 6B to explain the configuration thereof.

As shown in FIG. 6A and FIG. 6B, each differential signal chip 2 includes a sheet-shaped rubber core 21 and two elongated signal terminals 22. The rubber core 21 includes a first end edge 211 and a second end edge 212 on the opposite side (such as the top edge and the bottom edge of the rubber core 21 in FIG. 6A), and each signal terminal 22 has a glue embedded in the glue. A fixed section 221 of the core 21 and opposite ends of the self-fixing section 221 (such as the top end and the bottom end of the fixing section 221 in FIG. 6A) respectively extend in a direction substantially away from each other to protrude the first end edge 211 of the rubber core 21 The engaging section 222 and a positioning section 223 of the second end edge 212 of the protruding core 21 are formed.

Each of the rubber cores 21 is recessed from a first end edge 211 between the two fixing sections 221, and a recess 213 is formed in each of the rubber cores 21 corresponding to the second end edge 212. Block 214, and the two positioning segments 223 protrude from the two plug blocks 214, respectively. Furthermore, the fixed section 221 and the mating section 222 of the rubber core 21 and the signal terminal 22 of each differential signal chip 2 are substantially accommodated in the space surrounded by the insulating housing 1 and the bottom board 5, and the positioning section of each differential signal sheet 2 223 is exposed outside the space surrounded by the insulating housing 1 and the bottom plate 5 (see Fig. 2). It should be noted that the outer surface of the fixed section 221 and the mating section 222 of the signal terminal 22 can be roughly divided into two wide surfaces perpendicular to the longitudinal direction L and a narrow surface surrounding the outer edges of the two wide surfaces.

In more detail, in each of the signal terminals 22, the fixed section 221 has a continuous strip-shaped first section 2211 and a curved second section 2212, and is away from the second section 2212. One end of a section 2211 (such as the top end of the first section 2211 in FIG. 6A) is coupled to the mating section 222 and away from the end of the second section 2212 of the first section 2211 (eg, the bottom of the second section 2212 in FIG. 6A) The end is then connected to the positioning segment 223.

As shown in FIG. 4A to FIG. 5A, in each pair of differential signal chips 2, when the first segment 2211 of any of the differential signal chips 2 is projected in the longitudinal direction L toward the other differential signal chip 2, another differential signal is transmitted. A projection area (not shown) is formed on the adjacent first section 2211 of the sheet 2, and the shortest distance between the projection area and the outer surface of the outer casing 10 (ie, the board surface corresponding to the electrical connector 100) is Its height corresponding to the height direction H is defined as a first height H ₁ , and the first height H ₁ is not more than 2 mm in this embodiment.

It should be noted that since the abutting surface of the second end edge 212 of the rubber core 21 and the outer casing 10 is present in a certain gap (about 0.2 mm) in this embodiment, if it is changed to each pair of differential signals In the perspective of the sheet 2, the shortest distance between the projection area and the second end edge 212 of the rubber core 21 of the differential signal sheet 2 is not more than 1.8 mm in this embodiment, but is not limited by this definition. The first height H ₁ .

In addition, as a result of many experiments, when the first height H _{1 is} not more than 1.04 mm, the transmission rate of the electrical connector 100 has a more prominent effect. In this embodiment, the shortest distance between the projection area and the second end edge 212 of the rubber core 21 of the differential signal sheet 2 is not more than 0.84 mm.

Furthermore, in the length direction L, the first segment 2211 of any of the differential signal slices 2 of each pair of differential signal slices 2 and the adjacent first segment 2211 of the other differential signal patch 2, both The contours are aligned with each other and form a wide-edge coupling arrangement. The wide-side coupling is generally described as follows: the first segment 2211 of any one of the differential signal chips 2 and the adjacent first segment 2211 of the other differential signal chip 2 are adjacent to each other. The wide surfaces face each other and are substantially parallel to each other, whereby a wide-side coupling can be formed in the longitudinal direction L when the signal is transmitted. Therefore, through the above design (eg, the value of the first height H ₁ is limited), the coupling length between each pair of differential signal chips 2 can be effectively improved, thereby having a better coupling effect and effectively reducing The noise forms interference between each pair of differential signal slices 2.

The second segments 2212 of each pair of differential signal chips 2 are respectively formed by bending and extending from the first segments 2211 to which they are connected, and the positioning segments 223 of each pair of differential signal chips 2 are arranged in a row in the width direction W. And in the width direction W, each pair of differential signals The second section 2212 of any of the differential signal slices 2 of the slice 2 and the adjacent second section 2212 of the other differential signal patch 2 are arranged in a narrow-edge coupling arrangement.

For each of the signal terminals 22, as shown in FIG. 6A and FIG. 6B, the second section 2212 includes a dislocation portion 2212a and an extension portion 2212b, and the dislocation portion 2212a is connected to the first section 2211, and The misalignment portion 2212a and its associated first segment 2211 are all located on a plane P ₁ perpendicular to the length direction L. The positioning section 223 is located on another plane P ₂ perpendicular to the longitudinal direction L, and the extending portion 2212b connects the dislocation portion 2212a and the positioning segment 223. Further, the extending portion 2212b is buried substantially in the plug block 214 of the rubber core 2.

Furthermore, in each of the signal terminals 22, the angle θ ₁ formed between the extending portion 2212b and the dislocation portion 2212a is an inner angle with respect to the angle θ ₂ formed between the extending portion 2212b and the positioning portion 223. Configuration. The above-mentioned included angles θ ₁ and θ ₂ are each approximately 135 degrees in the present embodiment, but are not limited thereto. And the height of each extension 2212b corresponding to the height direction H is defined as a second height H ₂ (as shown in FIG. 4B), and the second height H _{2 is} smaller than the first height H ₁ .

When viewed from each pair of differential signal chips 2, as shown in FIGS. 5A and 5B, in any two signal terminals 22 coupled to each other, the two misaligned portions 2212a are respectively widened from the first segment 2211 to which they are connected. The direction W is formed to extend away from the side away from each other. Thereby, the two signal terminals 22 coupled to each other will be designed via the misalignment portion 2212a such that the positions of the extension portions 2212b and the positioning segments 223 in the width direction W of the two dislocation portions 2212a are sequentially shifted from each other.

Furthermore, in any two signal terminals 22 that are coupled to each other, the plane P ₁ where the first segment 2211 and the misalignment portion 2212a of each signal terminal 22 are located is located on the plane P ₂ where the two positioning segments 223 are respectively located. The outer side (refer to FIG. 6B); and the two signal terminals 22 coupled to each other will be designed via the extending portion 2212b, so that the two positioning segments 223 connected to the two extending portions 2212b can be adjacent to each other in the width direction W. They are roughly arranged in the same column.

As shown in FIG. 6A, in each of the differential signal sheets 2, the inner edges of the two mating segments 222 adjacent to each other define a clamping port 2221 at a shortest distance, and one end of the two mating segments 222 away from the rubber core 21. The portion (the top end portion of the fitting portion 222 in FIG. 6A) is formed with the above-described gripping ports 2221 and each is defined as a head portion 2222. Furthermore, in the length direction L (as shown in FIG. 4A), the mating segments 222 of any of the differential signal chips 2 of each pair of differential signal chips 2 and the adjacent mating segments 222 of the other differential signal patch 2 are contoured to each other. Cut and form a wide-edge coupling arrangement.

The positioning segment 223 is exemplified in the present embodiment as a fish-eye configuration, and the position of each positioning segment 223 is adapted to penetrate the fisheye hole 2231 of the fisheye structure for the longitudinal direction L, that is, the The central axis of the fisheye hole 2231 of the positioning section 223 is parallel to the longitudinal direction L. However, the positioning segment 223 of the present creation is not limited to the fisheye configuration. For example, the positioning segment 223 can also form a configuration suitable for surface mount technology (SMT).

Referring to FIG. 7 to FIG. 9, the configurations of the grounding shield sheets 3 are substantially the same, and thus only one of the grounding shield sheets 3 is illustrated in FIGS. 7 to 9 as a configuration for the following description.

Each of the grounding shields 3 includes a sheet body 31, two long strip-shaped shield segments 32 extending from one end of the sheet body 31 (such as the top end of the sheet body 31 in FIG. 7), and the other end of the sheet body 31 (as shown in the figure). The bottom end of the sheet body 31 in 7) has three elongated extensions 33 extending in sequence and three grounding positioning segments 34. That is, the extending portion 33 and the grounding positioning portion 34 are located on a side of the sheet body 31 away from the two shielding segments 32 (such as the lower side of the sheet body 31 in FIG. 7), and one ends of the three extending portions 33 are respectively connected away from each other. One end of the sheet body 31 of the two shielding sections 32 (such as the bottom end of the sheet body 31 in FIG. 7), and the other ends of the three extending sections 33 are respectively connected to the three grounding positioning sections 34.

The sheet body 31 and the shield segment 32 of each of the grounding shields 3 are substantially received in the space surrounded by the insulating housing 1 and the bottom plate 5. The grounding positioning portion 34 of each of the grounding shields 3 is exposed to the insulating housing 1 and Outside the space surrounded by the bottom plate 5 (as shown 2). It should be noted that the outer surface of the sheet body 31 and the shield segment 32 of the grounding shield 3 may be roughly divided into two wide surfaces perpendicular to the longitudinal direction L and a narrow surface surrounding the outer edges of the two wide surfaces.

Referring to FIG. 7 , in each of the grounding shields 3 , one end edge of the sheet body 31 away from the grounding positioning segments 34 (such as the top edge of the sheet body 31 in FIG. 7 ) is between the two shielding segments 32 . A recess 311 is defined in the recessed portion, and the distance between the bottom of the recess 311 and the bottom plate 5 is greater than the distance between the bottom of the recess 21 of the rubber core 21 of any of the signal terminals 2 and the bottom plate 5; and away from the two shield segments 32. One end portion of the sheet body 31 (such as the bottom of the sheet body 31 in FIG. 7) is provided with a plug portion 312 between any two adjacent ground positioning segments 34.

In more detail, as shown in FIGS. 3A and 4A, the fixed sections 221 of each pair of differential signal sheets 2 are completely shielded by the sheet body 31 of the adjacent ground shield sheets 3 in the longitudinal direction L. In each of the grounding shields 3, the sheet body 31 has a structure without a hole, so that the fixing section 221 of the adjacent differential signal sheet 2 is completely shielded in the longitudinal direction L.

The mating segments 222 of each pair of differential signal patches 2 are completely shielded by the shield segments 32 of their adjacent ground shields 3 in the length direction L. In each of the grounding shields 3 (FIG. 8), the inner edges of the two shield segments 32 adjacent to each other define a clamping opening 321 at a shortest distance, and one end of the two shielding segments 32 away from the sheet body 31. The portion (the top end portion of the shield segment 32 in FIG. 8) is formed with a grip opening 321 and each is defined as a head portion 322.

Wherein, in the plane of the vertical length direction L (as shown in FIG. 4A), the area of the head portion 322 of the shield segment 32 of each grounding shield 3 is larger than the position of any adjacent signal terminal 22 (ie, the mating segment 222 of the signal terminal 22). The area of the head 2222). In this embodiment, the area of the head 322 of each shield segment 32 is substantially twice the area of any adjacent signal terminal 22 (ie, the head portion 2222 of the mating segment 222) corresponding to the plane of the vertical length direction L. Area, but both the shield segment 32 head 322 and the mating segment 222 header 2222 The area ratio is not limited to this. Furthermore, in the plane of the vertical length direction L, the portion of the portion other than the head 322 of each of the shield segments 32 has an area substantially equal to that of any adjacent signal terminal 22 (ie, the head of the signal terminal 22 mating segment 222). The area outside the 2222).

Therefore, the relative shape and area of the shield section 32 of the grounding shield 3 and the mating section 222 of the adjacent differential signal patch 2 are designed, in particular, the area of the head portion 322 of the shield section 32 is larger than the head of the adjacent mating section 222. The area of the portion 2222 is such that the shielding effect of the grounding shield 3 corresponding to the differential signal chip 2 can be effectively improved, and the differential impedance fluctuation of the differential signal chip 2 can be relieved, thereby having better S parameters (eg, insertion loss, reflection). Loss, crosstalk).

Further, as shown in FIG. 8, in each of the grounding shields 3, the inner edges of the two head portions 322 adjacent to each other include a guiding side edge 323, and one end of the leading side edge 323 of the two head portions 322 (the bottom end of the guiding side edge 323 in FIG. 8) defines the clamping opening 321, and the other end of the guiding side edge 323 of the two heads 322 (such as the leading end of the guiding side edge 323 in FIG. 8). They are the end edges of the two shield segments 32, respectively. In the length direction L, the leading edge 323 of each grounding shield 3 and the edge of the adjacent signal terminal 22 are aligned with each other (as shown in FIG. 4A), thereby facilitating the guiding side of the card through the grounding shield 3. The edge 323 is guided by the edge of the adjacent signal terminal 22, and is further sandwiched between the clamping opening 321 of the grounding shield 3 and the clamping opening 2221 of the differential signal sheet 2.

As shown in FIG. 9, the opposite ends of each of the extending sections 33 are angularly connected to the sheet body 31 and the corresponding grounding positioning section 34, respectively, and the extending section 33 and its connected sheet body 31 are formed. The angle θ ₃ and the angle θ ₄ formed between the extension 33 and the grounding positioning segment 34 connected thereto, and the two angles θ ₃ and θ ₄ are arranged at an internal error angle (θ ₃ = θ ₄ ), thereby Each of the grounding positioning segments 34 is spaced apart from the sheet body 31 by a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal direction L and is parallel to each other.

In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 9, the lengths of the extensions 33 are substantially the same and parallel to the length direction L (that is, the angles θ ₃ and θ _{4 are} each at a right angle of 90 degrees). The extensions 33 are located on the same side of the sheet body 31 (such as the lower left side of the sheet body 31 in FIG. 9), so that the grounding segments 34 of any of the grounding shields 3 are substantially at the same plane P. ₃ , but this creation is not limited to the above structure.

For example, all of the grounding segments 34 of any of the grounding shields 3 need not be located on the same plane, but must conform to each of the grounding segments 34 in a plane perpendicular to the length direction L to be spaced from the sheet body 31. And parallel to each other. As shown in FIG. 10 and FIG. 11, any two adjacent ground positioning segments 34 of the grounding shield 3 are located on two planes P ₃ , P ₄ which are different and parallel to each other, and any two of the ground shielding sheets 3 are far away. the positioning section 34 is located on the ground ₃ same plane P.

Thereby, the grounding shielding sheet 3 is transmitted through the bending design of the extending portion 33, so that each of the grounding positioning segments 34 can be spaced apart from each other and parallel to each other in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal direction L, thereby effectively avoiding the sheet. The body 31 generates a hole, so that the shielding effect of the grounding shield 3 corresponding to the differential signal chip 2 can be effectively improved, and the differential impedance fluctuation of the differential signal chip 2 can be relieved, thereby having better S parameters (eg, insertion loss, Reflection loss, crosstalk).

In addition, the grounding positioning segment 34 is exemplified in the present embodiment as a fisheye configuration identical to the positioning segment 223, and the position of each of the grounding positioning segments 34 is also suitable for the longitudinal direction L to penetrate the fisheye structure. The fisheye hole 341, that is, the central axis of the fisheye hole 341 of the grounding positioning section 34 is parallel to the longitudinal direction L. However, the grounding positioning section 34 of the present creation is not limited to the fisheye configuration. For example, the grounding location segment 34 can also form a configuration suitable for surface mount technology (SMT).

Referring to FIG. 3A and FIG. 4A, three of the grounding positioning segments 34 of the two adjacent grounding shields 3 and the positioning segments 223 of the pair of differential signal patches 2 between the two adjacent grounding shields 3 are shown. They are arranged in a row substantially in the width direction W. And two mutually coupled signals are provided between any two adjacent ground positioning segments 34 in the width direction W. The number terminal 22 locates the segment 223.

Further, when the electrical connector 100 uses the grounding shield 3 shown in FIG. 7, the three grounding segments 34 of any of the grounding shields 3 and the positioning segments 223 of the adjacent one of the differential signal patches 2 are along The width direction W is arranged in a row (Fig. 3A). When the electrical connector 100 adopts the grounding shield 3 shown in FIG. 10, the grounding positioning segments 34 of the grounding shields 3 of the two adjacent grounding shields 3 on the outer sides and the other grounding shield 3 The central grounding positioning portion 34 is arranged in a row (not shown) substantially in the width direction W with the positioning segments 223 of the pair of differential signal plates 2 located between the two adjacent grounding shield sheets 3.

Referring to FIG. 3A and FIG. 3B, the three serial connectors 4 are respectively disposed in the insulative housing 1, and two of the three serial connectors 4 are connected to each other (as shown in FIG. 3A on the left and right sides). The serial connectors 4) are respectively located on opposite outer sides of the two signal terminals 22 of each differential signal chip 2, and the other serial connector 4 of the three serial connectors 4 (such as the central string in FIG. 3A) The connector 4) is located between the two signal terminals 22 of each of the differential signal chips 2, and is connected to the grounding shields 3 through the serial connectors 4, so that the grounding shields 3 pass through any string. The connector 4 can achieve electrical communication. Thereby, the electrical connector 100 can have a better effect in reducing crosstalk, and can effectively solve the related resonance problem.

In more detail, the series member 4 is of substantially the same configuration in this embodiment, and a structural description will be made below for one of the series members 4.
