Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of connectors, in particular to a plug connector and a connector assembly.
Background
When the chassis cabinet is designed to be grounded or shielded, the connector of the chassis cabinet interface needs to be communicated with the chassis cabinet panel, so that the shielding layer of the cable connected with the connector is communicated with the panel, and the grounding or shielding effect of the whole link is realized.
The prior art connector assembly is shown in fig. 1, and includes a plug connector and a receptacle connector, the receptacle connector includes a receptacle conductive housing 200 fixed on the cabinet panel 100, the plug connector includes a plug front end conductive housing 300 in plug-in conductive fit with the receptacle conductive housing 200, and a plug sleeve 400 screwed on the rear end of the plug front end conductive housing 300.
The cable 700 is fixedly connected to the plug connector, a shielding conductive part is arranged in the plug sleeve 400, the shielding conductive part comprises a shielding cylinder 501 and a shielding block 502 connected with the rear end of the shielding cylinder 501, a transverse through hole is formed in the shielding block 502, and a screw 600 with the front end extending into the transverse through hole is further mounted on the shielding block 502. The cable 700 has a shield 701, the shield 701 is twisted into a strand to form a stranded cable shield 702, and the stranded cable shield 702 is inserted into the transverse through-hole and pressed by the screw 600.
In assembling the plug connector, the shielding conductive member and the cable 700 are first installed in the plug sleeve 400, and then the plug sleeve 400 is connected to the plug front end conductive housing 300, since the shielding passage of the entire connector assembly is the shielding layer 701 → the shielding block 502 → the shielding cylinder 501 → the plug front end conductive housing 300 → the receptacle conductive housing 200 → the cabinet panel 100, the shielding cylinder 501 needs to be brought into conductive contact with the plug front end conductive housing 300 in the process of connecting the plug sleeve 400 to the plug front end conductive housing 300.
Referring to fig. 1 and 3, the rear portion of the plug sleeve 400 is provided with a butting structure 401, the butting structure 401 has a butting end surface 4011 facing forward, the shielding block 502 has a shielding block end surface 5021 facing rearward, and a space is provided between the butting end surface 4011 and the shielding block end surface 5021 before the plug sleeve 400 is connected with the plug front conductive housing 300, as shown in fig. 3 a. With the plug sleeve 400 screwed in, the abutting end surface 4011 contacts the shield block end surface 5021, as shown in fig. 3b, and thereafter the abutting end surface 4011 can push the shield block 502 and the shield barrel 501 to move forward.
As shown in fig. 1 and 2, the shielding cylinder 501 has a shielding cylinder end face 5011 facing forward, the plug front end conductive housing 300 has a conductive housing end face 301 facing rearward, the plug front end conductive housing 300 further has a positioning piece 302 extending rearward, and the shielding cylinder 501 is provided with a positioning groove 5012 having a forward opening. Shield can end face 5011 is spaced from conductive housing end face 301 before abutting end face 4011 pushes shield can 501 to move, as shown in fig. 2 a. As it is pushed against end surface 4011, shield barrel end surface 5011 eventually comes into contact with conductive housing end surface 301 as shown in fig. 2b, while positioning piece 302 is inserted into positioning slot 5012. At this time, the entire shielding conductive member comes into close contact with the plug front end conductive housing 300.
It can be seen that, in the prior art, by providing a tightening structure in the plug sleeve 400, during the process of installing the plug sleeve 400, the shielding conductive component is pushed by the tightening structure to move, so as to achieve conductive contact with the conductive shell 300 at the front end of the plug.
Therefore, in the case of the conventional plug connector, a pressing structure must be provided in the plug sleeve, which makes the structure of the plug sleeve complicated. In addition, because the plug sleeve is in threaded connection with the front end conductive shell of the plug, the screwing degree of the plug sleeve must be well controlled during installation, once the screwing degree is not enough, the shielding conductive part cannot be ensured to be in close contact with the front end conductive shell of the plug, and then the grounding or shielding effect of a link is influenced, so that the existing plug sleeve is difficult to control during installation, and the installation requirement is high.
