Abstract

An altitude increasing connector and the method for manufacturing the same for an electrical connection of a sensor element and a circuit substrate inside a portable electronic device, such that the sensor element is altitude increased, thereby an appropriate disposition altitude of the sensor element is adjusted, in order to ensure normal function of the sensor element, so that the yield of the portable electronic device is increased. The altitude increasing connector has a plurality of conductive terminals, each of which has a first welding pad for welding the sensor element and a second welding pad for welding the circuit substrate, wherein a distance between welding surfaces of both the first, second welding pads of each conductive terminal is fixed, such that a relative distance between electrical joints of both the sensor element and the circuit substrate is fixed.

Claims (16)

1. A portable electronic device, comprising:

a housing shell with an accommodation space;

a sensor element disposed inside the accommodation space;

a circuit substrate disposed inside the accommodation space;

an altitude increasing connector electrically connected to the sensor element and the circuit substrate, such that a relative distance between electrical joints of both the sensor element and the circuit substrate is fixed to a first distance, the altitude increasing connector including:

a connector body respectively having a first outer surface corresponding to the sensor element, and a second outer surface corresponding to the circuit substrate, wherein the first, second outer surfaces are two outer surfaces opposite to each other; and

a plurality of conductive terminals, which pass through the connector body separately, and are formed with a first welding pad and a second welding pad separately; the first, second welding pads of each of the plurality of conductive terminals being formed through bend separately, and being exposed to the first, second outer surfaces separately, in order for welding the sensor element and the circuit substrate separately, wherein the connector body is against each of the plurality of the conductive terminals to keep a distance between the first welding pad and the second welding pad, so that an altitude position of the sensor element is increased to a first distance, and a position of the sensor element in the accommodation space is thus close to the housing shell to provide necessary functions.

2. The portable electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of conductive terminals are arranged in two symmetric rows, a left and a right rows.

3. The portable electronic device according to claim 2 , wherein the plurality of conductive terminals which are arranged in the left row are bent in a first direction, the plurality of conductive terminals which are arranged in the right row are bent in a second direction, the first, second directions being two opposite directions.

4. The portable electronic device according to claim 2 , wherein the connector body is an insulator.

5. The portable electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of conductive terminals is formed by bending a sheet metal integrally.

6. The portable electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein each of the first, second welding pads is protruded out of the first, second outer surfaces of the connector body separately.

7. The portable electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of conductive terminals is bent continuously to form an approximate inverted U shape.

8. The portable electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the connector body has a plurality of locating slots, each of which is used to locate the plurality of conductive terminals in forming the connector body.

9. The portable electronic device according to claim 8 , wherein at least two of the locating slots have vertically orthogonal relationship.

10. The portable electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the sensor element is a light sensor element or an acoustic sensor element.
