Signal connector having terminals in contact with the ground piece by means of a bending portion
The present invention discloses a signal connector having terminals in contact with a ground piece by means of a bending portion, comprising an insulating base body, a first terminal assembly, a second terminal assembly and a ground piece. The terminal assemblies are inserted on to the insulating base body at locations adjacent to the top and bottom portions thereof, respectively; the ground piece is inserted in the gap of the insulating base body corresponding to the location between terminal assemblies. The outermost positions of both sides of terminal assemblies act as a grounding terminal respectively. Features of the signal connector include: a bending portion is formed at the peripheral of the ground piece or each front end of grounding terminals, respectively. Each bending portion connects the corresponding grounding terminal with the ground piece electrically to create a complete shielding effect and interference prevention of high frequency signals between terminal assemblies.
1. A signal connector having terminals in contact with a ground piece by means of a bending portion, which at least includes an insulating base body, a first terminal assembly, a second terminal assembly and a ground piece, wherein the first terminal assembly is inserted on to the insulating base body at the location adjacent to the top portion thereof; the second terminal assembly is inserted on to the insulating base body at the location adjacent to the bottom portion thereof; the ground piece is inserted in the gap of the insulating base body corresponding to the location between the first terminal assembly and the second terminal assembly; the features of the signal connector include:
the first terminal assembly having a plurality of first terminals wherein two first terminals disposed at the outermost positions of both sides respectively are the first grounding terminals and the rear ends of the first grounding terminals can be welded respectively to the grounding circuit on the circuit board;
the second terminal assembly having a plurality of second terminals wherein two second terminals disposed at the outermost positions of both sides respectively are the second grounding terminals and the rear ends of the second grounding terminals can be welded respectively to the grounding circuit on the circuit board; and
the ground piece having a first bending portion and a second bending portion at the peripheral locations thereof adjacent to the first grounding terminals and the second grounding terminals respectively wherein the bending portions are in contact with the first grounding terminals and the second grounding terminals respectively to form electrical connections, and each bending portion includes an arc-shaped portion and a contact portion; one end of the arc-shaped portion is connected to the ground piece and a middle portion thereof is in a curved arc angle bending shape; the contact portion is provided on the other end of the arc-shaped portion and has one side surface pressing against the peripheral location of the ground piece and the other side surface in contact with the corresponding first grounding terminals or the second grounding terminals.
2. The signal connector as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each first terminal assembly and each second terminal assembly are inserted into a plurality of terminal slots of the insulating base body respectively and the bending portion can extend into the bottom of the terminal slot.
3. The signal connector as claimed in claim 2 , wherein each bending portion is disposed on the ground piece near the front end thereof.
4. The signal connector as claimed in claim 2 , wherein each bending portion is disposed on the ground piece near the middle portion thereof.
