Abstract

The connector assembly, according to the present invention, comprises: a receptacle arranged on a substrate; and a plug coupled to the receptacle, wherein the plug includes: a pin having one side electrically connected to a cable and having a contact portion arranged on the other side; a dielectric arranged on the outside of the pin; a shield can arranged on the outside of the dielectric; and a plug shell arranged on the outside of the shield can, wherein the receptacle comprises a first hole, the dielectric comprises a second hole in which the pin is arranged, the pin is arranged in the second hole such that the contact portion protrudes farther than the outer surface of the dielectric, and the dielectric is positioned in the first hole so that the contact portion is directly and elastically in contact with a contact point of the substrate.

Claims (36)

1 . A connector assembly comprising:

a receptacle arranged on a substrate; and

a plug coupled to the receptacle,

wherein the plug includes: a pin having one side electrically connected to a cable and having a contact portion arranged on the other side;

a dielectric arranged on the outside of the pin;

a shield can arranged on the outside of the dielectric; and

a plug shell arranged on the outside of the shield can,

wherein the receptacle comprises a first hole,

wherein the dielectric comprises a second hole in which the pin is arranged,

wherein the pin is arranged in the second hole such that the contact portion protrudes farther than the outer surface of the dielectric,

wherein the dielectric is positioned in the first hole so that the contact portion is directly and elastically in contact with a contact point of the substrate,

wherein the pin comprises a first region that is bent counterclockwise at the contact portion and a second region that is bent counterclockwise at the first region and connected to the cable,

wherein the contact portion and the second region are arranged in parallel or diagonally, and

wherein the first region comprises a 1-1 st region that is bent counterclockwise at the contact portion, and a 1-2 nd region that is bent counterclockwise at the 1-1 st region and connected to the second region.

2 . The connector assembly of claim 1 , wherein:

the dielectric comprises a first groove,

the second hole may include a 2-1 st hole and a 2-2 nd hole and the first groove communicates with the 2-1 st hole and the 2-2 nd hole, and

directions of the 2-1 st hole and the 2-2 nd hole are different from each other.

3 . The connector assembly of claim 2 , wherein:

the 1-2 nd region is arranged in the 2-1 st hole, the second region is arranged in the 2-2 nd hole, and the 1-1 st region and

the contact portion are spaced apart from the dielectric.

4 . The connector assembly of claim 2 , wherein:

the dielectric comprises a second groove communicating with the 2-2 nd hole,

a portion of the first region is arranged inside the second groove, and

the contact portion is arranged outside the second groove.

5 . The connector assembly of claim 1 , wherein:

the dielectric comprises an upper surface in contact with the shield can and a first protrusion protruding from the upper surface, and

the shield can comprises a third groove in which the protrusion is positioned.

6 . The connector assembly of claim 5 , wherein:

the dielectric comprises a fourth groove concavely formed on the upper surface,

the shield can comprises a second protrusion positioned in the fourth groove, and

the second protrusion is positioned between two of the pins.

7 . The connector assembly of claim 1 , wherein the dielectric is guided along an inner wall of the first hole.

8 . The connector assembly of claim 1 , wherein:

the dielectric comprises a fifth groove and a partition wall dividing the first hole of the receptacle, and

the partition wall is arranged in the fifth groove.
