1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a grounding structure of an electrical connector suitable for high frequency transmitting. The high frequency connector mainly has a connecting part being combined with a plurality of grounding lines to improve the electrical characteristics of the high frequency connector when it transmits a signal, and the grounding line of the high frequency connector can directly be coupled to the grounding terminals without a soldering process such that the entire assembly process and the relative cost can be lessened.
2. Description of the Related Art
Generally, most grounding structure of the prior art connector used on the motherboard of the computer mainly is soldered directly to the grounding line and the grounding terminals, however, due to the science and technology increasing continuously and the environmental protection sense raising, the assembly process of the electronic industry is leading to lead-ness process progressively.
One of the grounding structures of the prior art connector has been found in the U.S. Pat. No. 6,489,563 B1 patent, wherein, the patent uses a grounding sleeve as a contact between the grounding line and grounding terminals; however, the grounding sleeve still needs to be soldered to the grounding terminals so as to form electrical contact.
However, the grounding design of the connector according to the U.S. Pat. No. 6,489,563 B1 patent may improve the electrical characteristics, but it has no contribution to the environmental protection considering and assembly process; besides it easily generates environmental pollution during the soldering process, it also easily causes departing effect if the soldering process is not complete or not certain, further, decreases the grounding effect and electrical characteristics; meanwhile, the assembly structure of the prior art not only increases the cost and wastes man power, but has a poor yield rate, such that the manufacturing cost is increased for no reason and does not conform to cost effectiveness.
According to one aspect of the present invention, the present invention provides a high frequency connector with an easy connecting part, which overcomes some, or all of the previously delineated drawbacks of the prior art connector that makes the connector to have the best electrical characteristics.
For reaching the aforesaid object, wherein, the connecting part comprises a wing portion and a protrusion portion; thereby the connecting part can engage the grounding terminals with the grounding line of the cable to form electrical contact. Furthermore, one end of the connecting part is extended directly and comprises predetermined grounding terminals, such that the grounding line can be directly connected to the connecting part; such as, the electrical connector can have better electrical characteristics and the grounding line can directly be coupled to the grounding terminals without the soldering process by using the aforesaid structure, meanwhile, the entire assembly process and the relative cost can be lessened.
Referring to
Wherein, the connecting part 4 is a sheath with electrical contact material, preferably, and it further comprises a protrusion portion 41 installed at the appropriate position to increase the contact effect and the protrusion portion 41 can be formed into a protrusion shape by the pressing process to improve the electrical contact.
As shown in
In order to prevent the grounding terminals 3 departing from the connecting part 4, please refer to
As shown in FIG., the grounding structure according to another embodiment of the present invention also engaged the signal transmitting units 51 with the receiving end 21 of the transmitting terminals 2 inserted inside the housing 10, and then bent the grounding line 52 (please refer to
Wherein, the connecting part 6 is made of electrical contact material; and the protrusion portion 611 also can be formed into a protrusion shape by the pressing process to improve the electrical contact.
Therefore, the connecting part of the present invention engages the grounding terminals with the grounding line of the cable securely so that the electrical connector could have better electrical performance.
Therefore, the present invention relates to a grounding structure of an electrical connector suitable for high frequency transmitting. The high frequency connector mainly has a connecting part being combined with a plurality of grounding lines to improve the electrical characteristics of the high frequency connector when it transmits signal, and the grounding line of the high frequency connector can directly be coupled to the grounding terminals without the soldering process such that the entire assembly process and the relative cost can be lessened.
Although a particular embodiment of the invention has been described in detail for purposes of illustration, various modifications and enhancements may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Accordingly, the invention is not to be limited except as by the appended claims.
