Abstract

The present invention provides a signal connector, comprising a terminal module, sequentially including a first ground terminal, a first signal terminal, a second signal terminal and a second ground terminal arranged in parallel; and an insulating base, Including a plug opening, the terminal module is fixed at the connection opening, the insulating base includes an inner surface, and a protrusion is arranged on the inner surface between the first signal terminal and the second signal terminal, the protrusion is used to block at least a part of the first signal terminal and the second signal terminal, and the inner surface between the first signal terminal and the first ground terminal is flat.

Claims (16)

1 . A signal connector, comprising:

a terminal module sequentially comprising a first ground terminal, a first signal terminal, a second signal terminal, and a second ground terminal that are arranged in parallel; and

an insulating base comprising a plug opening, wherein the terminal module is fixed at a connection opening, the insulating base comprises an inner surface, a protrusion is formed on the inner surface between the first signal terminal and the second signal terminal, the protrusion is configured to form a block between the first signal terminal and the second signal terminal, and at least a part of the inner surface between the first signal terminal and the first ground terminal is flat and has no protrusion formed therebetween;

wherein each of the first ground terminal, the first signal terminal, the second signal terminal, and the second ground terminal comprises a fixing section, a movable section, and a contact section that are arranged in sequence, the fixing section is a part to fix with the insulating base, the contact section is a part to connect an external connector, and the movable section is a part to connect the fixing section and the contact section, wherein said inner surface comprises an inclined part, and a thickness of the inclined part is gradually increased along an extending direction of the fixing section, the movable section, and the contact section in a vertical direction,

wherein the protrusion is at least formed between the movable section of the first signal terminal and the movable section of the second signal terminal;

when the signal connector transmits a signal, the entire protrusion is buried in and between the first signal terminal and the second signal terminal, and a height of the protrusion along a horizontal direction is substantially between 30% and 70% of a height of the movable section of the first signal terminal along the horizontal direction.

2 . The signal connector of claim 1 , wherein the first signal terminal and the second signal terminal are a differential pair, a minimum parallel distance between the movable section of the first signal terminal and the movable section of the second signal terminal is a first distance, a maximum parallel distance between the first signal terminal and the second signal terminal is a second distance, and the first distance is less than the second distance.

3 . The signal connector of claim 2 , wherein a value of the second distance divided by the first distance is greater than or equal to 1.1.

4 . The signal connector of claim 2 , wherein a minimum parallel distance between the first signal terminal and the second signal terminal at the fixing sections is a third distance, a minimum parallel distance between the first signal terminal and the first ground terminal is a fourth distance, and a value of the fourth distance divided by the third distance is greater than or equal to 1.1.

5 . The signal connector of claim 1 , wherein said inner surface sequentially comprises a flat part adjacent to the inclined part.

6 . The signal connector of claim 5 , wherein heights of parts of the protrusion at said inner surface are the same except at an end of the block.

7 . A signal connector, comprising:

a terminal module sequentially comprising a first ground terminal, a first signal terminal, a second signal terminal, and a second ground terminal that are arranged in parallel; and

an insulating base comprising a plug opening, wherein the terminal module is fixed at a connection opening, the insulating base comprises an inner surface, a protrusion is formed on the inner surface between the first signal terminal and the second signal terminal, the protrusion is configured to form a block between the first signal terminal and the second signal terminal;

wherein each of the first ground terminal, the first signal terminal, the second signal terminal, and the second ground terminal comprises a fixing section, a movable section, and a contact section that are arranged in sequence, the fixing section is a part to fix with the insulating base, the contact section is a part to connect an external connector, and the movable section is a part to connect the fixing section and the contact section, wherein at least a part of the protrusion is formed between the movable section of the first signal terminal and the movable section of the second signal terminal; said inner surface comprises an inclined part, and a thickness of the inclined part is gradually increased along a vertical direction;

when the signal connector transmits a signal, a height of the protrusion along a horizontal direction is substantially between 30% and 70% of a height of the movable section of the first signal terminal along the horizontal direction.
