BACKGROUND
Field of the Disclosure

This disclosure is related an electrical connector.


Description of Related Art

With the rapid development of electronic technology nowadays, the resolution of display devices is increasing and the requirements for high transmission bandwidth have led to the emergence of a high-resolution multimedia interface (HDMI), which is a fully digitized image and sound transmission interface that can simultaneously transmit uncompressed audio and video signals, and are commonly applied in the audio-visual transmission of consumer electronic products to ensure that the signal will not be attenuated during the audio-visual transmission process.


Furthermore, as high-quality images gradually become mainstream for display of film and television, the data transmission bandwidth in conventional technology might not meet the functional requirements of the future video transmission interface, and the new HDMI 2.1 specification has been formulated. The transmission bandwidth is upgraded considerably from 18 Gbps to 48 Gbps of HDMI 2.0, and supports a variety of higher dynamic image pixels and update rates. In addition, dynamic HDR and low-latency transmission technology have also been incorporated to the functional part, which is compatible with the previous HDMI 2.0 specification.


What follows is that the terminal structure required for the new specification HDMI 2.1 is more complicated, which increases the difficulty of designing the required mold, and even requires at least two sets of different molds to meet the requirements of the new specification, which has also led to an increase in manufacturing costs.


SUMMARY

This disclosure provides an electrical connector complied with HDMI 2.1 and having a simple structure that can meet the requirements for high-frequency signal transmission.


In the disclosure, an electrical connector complied with HDMI 2.1 includes an insulating body, a plurality of terminals and a metallic shell.

It should also be noted that the electrical connector 100 is adapted to be connected to another electrical connector (not shown) along an insertion direction MA. The aforementioned arrangement direction RA (towards the positive X-axial direction) and the insertion direction MA (towards the positive Y-axial direction) are orthogonal to each other. Meanwhile, as shown in FIG. 1, the metallic shell 130 has a short lateral edge 132 adjacent to the upper surface S1 and a long lateral edge 131 away from the upper surface S1. The ten terminals in the upper row are adjacent to the long lateral edge 131 and are far away from the short lateral edge 132. The nine terminals in the lower row are adjacent to the short lateral edge 132 and far away from the long lateral edge 131.


Furthermore, in order to meet the requirement of high-frequency signal transmission, the first terminal P1, the third terminal P3, the fourth terminal P4, the sixth terminal P6, the seventh terminal P7, the ninth terminal P9, the tenth terminal P10 and the twelfth terminal P12 in the embodiment are all used for data transmission, and accordingly have a larger width than the other terminals 120 to meet transmission requirements. In detail, the first terminal P1 of this embodiment has a width of 0.46 mm to 0.51 mm, the third terminal P3 has a width of 0.26 mm to 0.31 mm, the fourth terminal P4 has a width of 0.25 mm to 0.30 mm, the sixth terminal P6 has a width of 0.25 mm to 0.30 mm, the seventh terminal P7 has a width of 0.24 mm to 0.31 mm, the ninth terminal P9 has a width of 0.24 mm to 0.31 mm, the tenth terminal P10 has a width of 0.26 mm to 0.30 mm, and the twelfth terminal P12 has a width of 0.26 mm to 0.30 mm.

To put it simply, the width of the terminals 120 used for data transmission in this embodiment is greater than the width of the terminals 120 not used for data transmission, and the width is the size of each terminal 120 along the arrangement direction RA.


Please refer to FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 again. In this embodiment, the first terminal P1, the third terminal P3, the fourth terminal P4, the sixth terminal P6, the seventh terminal P7, the ninth terminal P9, the tenth terminal P10 and the twelfth terminal P12 each has a widening portion W1 and a contact segment C1 (here only the first terminal P1 is taken as an example). The contact segment C1 is exposed from the insulating body 110 to be in contact with the terminal of another electrical connector, and the widening portion W1 is located in the insulating body 110 (and similarly, the third terminal P3, the fourth terminal P4, the sixth terminal P6, the seventh terminal P7, the ninth terminal P9, the tenth terminal P10, and the twelfth terminal P12 each has a widening portion W1 located in the insulating body 110). Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 3 and taking the first terminal P1 as an example, the first terminal P1 can be divided into a contact segment C1 and a bending segment C2, and the bending segment C2 is equivalent to other portions of the first terminal P1 excluding the contact segment C1, thus including the portion soldered to the circuit board 200, and the widening portion W1 is located on the bending segment C2.


As shown in FIG. 3, the insulating body 110 includes a base 111 and a tongue 112 extending from the base 111. The contact segment C1 of the terminal 120 is located in the tongue 112 and exposes a portion of the tongue 112, and the widening portion W1 is located in the base 111. The tongue 112 has an upper surface S3 and a lower surface S4 opposite to each other.

FIG. 6 and FIG. 7 respectively illustrate some components of the electrical connector of FIG. 3 from different perspectives. Please refer to FIG. 6 and FIG. 7 and compare them with FIG. 3. In this embodiment, the tongue 112 has an upper surface S3 and a lower surface S4 opposite to each other. The ten terminals in the upper row are located on the upper surface S3. The nine terminals in the lower row are located on the lower surface S4. Furthermore, the tongue 112 has a plurality of openings 112a and 112b on the upper surface S3, and a plurality of openings 112c and 112d on the lower surface S4. The openings 112c and 112d on the lower surface S4 expose portions of the ten terminals 120 in the upper row, and the openings 112a and 112b on the upper surface S3 expose portions of the nine terminals 120 in the lower row.


Furthermore, the openings 112a and 112b on the upper surface S3 are arranged in a first row and a second row along the arrangement direction RA, and the distance d5 between the first row relative to the reference surface 111a of the base 111 is 0.5 mm, and the distance d6 between the second row relative to the reference surface 111a is 2.3 mm. An opening size d3 of each opening 112a located in the first row is 0.6 mm along the insertion direction MA, and an opening size d4 of each opening 112b located in the second row is 0.8 mm along the insertion direction MA.


Furthermore, the openings 112c and 112d on the lower surface S4 are arranged in a first row and a second row along the arrangement direction RA. The distance d8 between the first row relative to the reference surface 111a is 1.3 mm, and the distance d9 between the second row relative to the reference surface 111a is 3.3 mm. An opening size d7 of each opening 112c located in the first row is 0.8 mm along the insertion direction MA, and an opening size d7 of each opening 112d located in the second row is also 0.8 mm along the insertion direction MA.


Based on the above, compared with the existing electrical connector complied with HDMI 2.0, the openings on the tongue for exposing the terminals are all 0.5 mm. In this embodiment, the openings 112a, 112b, 112c, and 112d are all enlarged, which can effectively reduce the impedance of the terminals 120, so as to meet the requirements of HDMI 2.1 for high-speed transmission.


In summary, in the above-mentioned embodiments of the disclosure, the electrical connector complied with HDMI 2.1 includes an insulating body, a plurality of terminals, and a metallic shell, and the metallic shell covers portions of the insulating body and the terminals. These terminals include ten terminals in the upper row and nine terminals in the lower row, and have specific pin assignments along the arrangement direction. Furthermore, the widths of the above-mentioned terminals along the arrangement direction are different. Among them, the first terminal, the third terminal, the fourth terminal, the sixth terminal, the seventh terminal, the ninth terminal, the tenth terminal and the twelfth terminal have a larger width. That is, these terminals with larger widths are used to transmit data, and therefore the requirements for high-frequency signal transmission can be met by increasing the width of the terminals.
