DETAILED DESCRIPTION

When a housing 110 and a contact portion 120 are electrically connected through a signal spring 130, there is a problem in that passive inter-modulation distortion (PIMD) characteristics are degraded.

In order to solve the problem, as shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, a signal contact unit 100 according to a first embodiment of the present invention includes a housing 110, a contact portion 120, and a signal spring 130.

The housing 110 has a housing insertion hole 111 of which one side is open and includes a contact pin 115 formed at the other end thereof.

The contact portion 120 has a contact portion insertion hole 121 of which the other side is open.

The signal spring 130 is inserted between one side of the housing insertion hole 111 and the other side of the contact portion insertion hole 121.

One side of the housing 110 is partially inserted into the contact portion insertion hole 121.

As shown in FIG. 4, in a state in which one side of the contact portion 120 comes into contact with a board and the signal spring 130 is compressed, an inner side of the contact portion 120 comes into contact with an outer side of the housing 110, and thus, the housing 110 and the contact portion 120 are electrically connected.

The contact portion 120 includes a contact portion protrusion 122 and a contact portion slit 123 such that the inner side of the contact portion 120 stably comes into contact with the outer side of the housing 110.

The contact portion protrusion 122 is formed to protrude from an inner wall of the other end of the contact portion 120.

The contact portion slit 123 is elongated to one side of the contact portion 120 from the other end thereof. Two or more contact portion slits 123 are formed along a circumference of the contact portion 120 such that the other end of the contact portion 120 is divided into a plurality of portions.

As shown in FIG. 4, in a state in which one side of the contact portion 120 comes into contact with the board and the signal spring 130 is compressed, an inner diameter of the other end of the contact portion 120 is increased by the contact portion slit 123, and thus, the contact portion protrusion 122 stably comes into contact with the outer side of the housing 110 due to a restoring force of the other end of the contact portion 120 having the increased inner diameter.

In this case, in order to improve the stable contact, in a state in which the signal spring 130 is compressed, the inner diameter of the contact portion protrusion 122 may be smaller than an outer diameter of the housing 110 with which the contact portion protrusion 122 comes into contact.

In addition, in order to prevent the restoring force from being damaged due to a state, in which the inner diameter of the other end of the contact portion 120 is increased, being maintained, as shown in FIG. 3, in a state in which the signal spring 130 is restored, the contact portion protrusion 122 may be inserted into a housing groove 114 formed in a ring shape along a circumference of the housing 110.

Although not shown, in order for the signal spring 130 to not be electrically connected to the contact portion 120, a ball-shaped dielectric (not shown) may be disposed between the contact portion 120 and the signal spring 130, and the housing 110 and the contact portion 120 may be electrically connected only by a contact between the outer side of the housing 110 and the inner side of the contact portion 120.

Furthermore, one end of the contact portion 120 may be formed to have a groove or protrusion so as to increase a contact force with the board.

As described above, since the housing 110 and the contact portion 120 are electrically connected, the signal contact unit 100 according to the present invention has an effect of ameliorating PIMD characteristics.

As shown in FIGS. 5 to 7, a signal contact unit 100 according to a second embodiment of the present invention includes a housing 110, a contact portion 120, and a signal spring 130.

The housing 110 has a housing insertion hole 111 of which one side is open and includes a contact pin 115 formed at the other end thereof.

The other side of the contact portion 120 is partially inserted into the housing insertion hole 111.

The signal spring 130 is inserted between one side of the housing insertion hole 111 and the other side of the contact portion 120.

As shown in FIG. 7, in a state in which one side of the contact portion 120 comes into contact with a board and the signal spring 130 is compressed, an outer side of the contact portion 120 comes into contact with an inner side of the housing 110, and thus, the housing 110 and the contact portion 120 are electrically connected.

The housing 110 includes a housing protrusion 112 and a housing slit 113 such that the outer side of the contact portion 120 stably comes into contact with the inner side of the housing 110.

The housing protrusion 112 protrudes from an inner wall of one end of the housing 110.

The housing slit 113 is elongated to the other side of one end of the housing 110. Two or more housing slits 113 are formed along a circumference of the housing 110 such that one end of the housing 110 is divided into a plurality of portions.

In this case, in order to improve the stable contact, in a state in which the signal spring 130 is compressed, an inner diameter of the housing protrusion 112 may be smaller than an outer diameter of the contact portion 120 with which the housing protrusion 112 comes into contact.

In addition, in order to prevent a restoring force from being damaged due to a state, in which an inner diameter of the one end of the housing 110 is increased, being maintained, as shown in FIG. 6, in a state in which the signal spring 130 is restored, the housing protrusion 112 may be inserted into a contact portion groove 124 formed in a ring shape along a circumference of the contact portion 120.

Although not shown, in order for the signal spring 130 to not be electrically connected to the contact portion 120, a ball-shaped dielectric may be disposed between the contact portion 120 and the signal spring 130, and the housing 110 and the contact portion 120 may be electrically connected only by a contact between the outer side of the housing 110 and the inner side of the contact portion 120.

In addition, one end of the contact portion 120 may be formed to have a groove or protrusion so as to increase a contact force with the board.

As described above, since the housing 110 and the contact portion 120 are electrically connected, the signal contact unit 100 according to the present invention has an effect of ameliorating PIMD characteristics.

As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, a board mating connector including the signal contact units 100 according to each of the above-described first embodiment and second embodiment of the present invention may further include a ground contact unit 200, and a dielectric unit 300.

A ground hollow portion 201 is formed in the ground contact unit 200, and the signal contact unit 100 is inserted into the ground hollow portion 201.

The dielectric unit 300 is disposed between the signal contact unit 100 and the ground contact unit 200.

The ground contact unit 200 includes a first ground portion 210, a second ground portion 220, and a ground spring 230.

A first ground hollow portion 211 is formed in the first ground portion 210.

The other side of the second ground portion 220 is partially inserted into the first ground hollow portion 211, and a second ground hollow portion 221 is formed in the second ground portion 220.

The ground spring 230 is disposed between an inner side of the first ground portion 210 and an outer side of the second ground portion 220.

As shown in FIG. 9, when one side of the ground contact unit 200 comes into contact with a board and the second ground portion 220 is moved in a direction of the first ground portion 210, the ground spring 230 is compressed by the second ground portion 220, and the compressed ground spring 230 is restored. Thus, the second ground portion 220 is moved in a direction opposite to the direction of the first ground portion 210.

As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, a restoring force to move the second ground portion 220 in the direction opposite to the direction of the first ground portion 210 may be further increased. Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 10, in order to replace the ground spring 230 described above, the first ground portion 210 may include a tapered portion 212, and the second ground portion 220 may include a second ground protrusion 222 and a second ground slit 223.

The tapered portion 212 is formed in an inclined shape such that an inner diameter thereof is gradually decreased toward the other side thereof on an inner wall of the first ground portion 210.

The second ground protrusion 222 protrudes outward from the other end of the second ground portion 220.

The second ground slit 223 is elongated to one side of the second ground portion 220 from the other end thereof. Two or more second ground slits 223 are formed along a circumference of the second ground portion 220 such that the other end of the second ground portion 220 is divided into a plurality of portions.

When the second ground portion 220 is moved in the direction of the first ground portion 210, an outer diameter of the second ground protrusion 222 is compressed by the tapered portion 212, and the compressed outer diameter of the second ground protrusion 222 is restored in a direction in which an inner diameter of the tapered portion 212 is increased. Accordingly, the second ground portion 220 is moved in the direction opposite to the direction of the first ground portion 210.

In this case, in order to prevent the second ground portion 220 from being moved more than necessary in the direction opposite to the direction of the first ground portion 210, a latch portion 213 may be formed to protrude inward from a wall of the first ground portion 210 at one side of the wall of the first ground portion 210 with respect to a position where the tapered portion 212 is formed.

One side of the second ground protrusion 222 may be caught by the latch portion 213, and thus, the latch portion 213 may prevent the second ground portion 220 from being moved further in the direction opposite to the direction of the first ground portion 210.

As described above, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, when the above-described ground spring 230 is further provided, a restoring force due to the ground spring 230 may be added to a restoring force by which the second ground portion 220 is moved in the direction opposite to the direction of the first ground portion 210 by the tapered portion 212, the second ground protrusion 222, and the second ground slit 223.

Accordingly, it is possible to further increase the restoring force to move the second ground portion 220 in the direction opposite to the direction of the first ground portion 210.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 10, when the above-described ground spring 230 is not provided, the tapered portion 212, the second ground protrusion 222, and the second ground slit 223 may replace the ground spring 230.

The dielectric unit 300 includes a first dielectric portion 310 and a second dielectric portion 320.

The first dielectric portion 310 is disposed between the first ground portion 210 and the signal contact unit 100.

The second dielectric portion 320 is disposed between the second ground portion 220 and the signal contact unit 100.

As shown in FIG. 9, when the second ground portion 220 is moved in the direction of the first ground portion 210 and the second dielectric portion 320 approaches the first dielectric portion 310, in order to minimize a change in impedance, which is caused by a dielectric constant of the second dielectric portion 320 being added to a dielectric constant of the first dielectric portion 310, a second dielectric hollow portion 321 having a diameter greater than that of the signal contact unit 100 may be formed in the second dielectric portion 320. Accordingly, the second dielectric portion 320 may be in surface contact with the second ground portion 220 and may not be in surface contact with the signal contact unit 100.

Therefore, it is possible to minimize the change in impedance.

As shown in FIGS. 11 to 13, the first ground portion 210 may include a thread 214 and a tightening portion 215 such that one side of the board mating connector according to the present invention is insertion-coupled to a module using a tool such as a wrench.

The thread 214 is formed on a circumference of the other side of the first ground portion 210.

The tightening portion 215 is formed to have three or more surfaces on a circumference of one side of the first ground portion 210.

As shown in FIG. 13, a module M has a hole H which has a wall corresponding to the thread 214, and the board mating connector is insertion-coupled to the hole H.

Here, the contact pin 115 may be electrically connected to a module signal pin P protruding toward a center of the hole H.

A board B comes into contact with one side of the board mating connector, and thus, the board mating connector transmits a radio frequency (RF) signal to the board B.

As described above, since the thread 214 and the tightening portion 215 are provided such that one side of the board mating connector is insertion-coupled to the module, a contact height of the board B may be lowered. Thus, it is possible to lower a height of the module M including the board mating connector, easily couple the board mating connector, and stably fix the board mating connector.

The exterior of the board mating connector according to the present invention is not limited to the above-described shape including the thread 214 and the tightening portion 215 and may be formed in various shapes as shown in FIGS. 14 and 16.

As shown in FIG. 14, the first ground portion 210 is formed in a cylindrical shape in which a plurality of press-fit protrusions PB are formed at one side of the first ground portion 210 such that the first ground portion 210 is press-fitted into the module.

As shown in FIG. 15, the first ground portion 210 is formed in a panel shape in which grooves, to which screws are coupled, are formed in both sides thereof such that the first ground portion 210 is screw-coupled to the module.

As shown in FIG. 16, the first ground portion 210 is formed in a shape in which a plurality of ground pins GP inserted into a printed circuit board (PCB) soldering hole are formed such that the first ground portion 210 is soldered to a PCB.

First, PIMD characteristics are ameliorated.

In addition, a restoring force can be further increased.

Furthermore, a change in impedance is minimized.

In addition, it is possible to lower a height of a module including a board mating connector, easily couple the board mating connector, and stably fix the board mating connector.
