Description

La présente invention a pour objet un ensemble de connexion entre une carte mère et une carte fille.The present invention relates to a connection assembly between a motherboard and a daughter board.

On connait de l'art antérieur un ensemble de connexion entre une carte mère et une carte fille, comprenant un premier connecteur comportant un premier corps isolant présentant des premiers éléments de contact dont une première extrémité est destinée à être insérée dans une carte mère ainsi qu'un deuxième connecteur comportant un deuxième corps isolant présentant des deuxièmes éléments de contact dont une première extrémité est destinée à coopérer avec une deuxième extrémité desdits éléments de contact correspondants et dont une deuxième extrémité est destinée à être insérée dans une carte fille, une face de connexion du premier et du deuxième corps isolant étant en vis-à-vis lorsque le premier et le deuxième connecteur sont connectés.We know from the prior art a connection assembly between a motherboard and a daughter board, comprising a first connector comprising a first insulating body having first contact elements of which a first end is intended to be inserted in a motherboard as well as a second connector comprising a second insulating body having second contact elements, a first end of which is intended to cooperate with a second end of said corresponding contact elements and of which a second end is intended to be inserted into a daughter card, one face of connection of the first and second insulating body being opposite when the first and the second connector are connected.

Un tel ensemble de connexion n'est utilisable que pour au plus deux épaisseurs différentes de carte fille. Il existe cependant des cartes de circuit imprimé de différentes épaisseurs, par exemple 1,6 mm, 2,4 mm, et 3,2 mm. Il n'est pas actuellement possible de traiter tous les cas possibles avec une seule largeur de connecteur, ce qui fait qu'une standardisation des modèles n'est pas possible, d'où des inconvénients dûs aux coûts de fabrication de connecteurs de largeurs différentes et au stockage de différents types de connecteurs, qui rendent peu intéressante l'utilisation de tels connecteurs pour des circuits imprimés d'épaisseur élevée (3,2 mm dans l'exemple ci-dessus).Such a connection assembly can only be used for at most two different thicknesses of daughter card. However, there are printed circuit boards of different thicknesses, for example 1.6mm, 2.4mm, and 3.2mm. It is not currently possible to treat all possible cases with a single connector width, which means that standardization of the models is not possible, which has disadvantages due to the costs of manufacturing connectors of different widths. and in the storage of different types of connectors, which make it unattractive to use such connectors for printed circuits of high thickness (3.2 mm in the example above).

L'invention a pour objet un ensemble de connexion du type précité permettant de remédier à l'inconvénient précité.The subject of the invention is a connection assembly of the aforementioned type making it possible to remedy the aforementioned drawback.

L'ensemble de connexion selon l'invention est dans ce but caractérisé en ce qu'il comporte un dispositif de calage destiné à maintenir une distance déterminée entre lesdites faces de connexion du premier et du deuxième corps isolants de telle sorte qu'une extrémité de la carte fille reste espacée du premier corps isolant, notamment pour conserver entre l'extrémité de la carte fille et le plan de pose de la carte mère, une distance égale à la dimension standard des connecteurs de l'art antérieur.The connection assembly according to the invention is for this purpose characterized in that it comprises a wedging device intended to maintain a determined distance between said connection faces of the first and second insulating bodies so that one end of the daughter card remains spaced from the first insulating body, in particular to maintain between the end of the daughter card and the installation plane of the mother board, a distance equal to the standard dimension of the connectors of the prior art.

Selon un mode de réalisation avantageux, le dispositif de calage est également un élément de détrompage.According to an advantageous embodiment, the wedging device is also a keying element.

Un dispositif de calage peut comporter une pièce rapportée sur au moins un dit corps isolant et/ou un élément en saillie faisant partie intégrante d'au moins une dite face de connexion.A wedging device may include an insert on at least one said insulating body and / or a projecting element forming an integral part of at least one said connection face.

Un corps isolant, notamment le premier corps isolant, peut présenter une partie centrale et deux branches latérales, la face interne de la partie centrale constituant une dite face de connexion.An insulating body, in particular the first insulating body, may have a central part and two lateral branches, the internal face of the central part constituting a said connection face.

Selon un mode de réalisation préféré, ladite extrémité de la carte fille est amincie. Ceci permet en particulier d'écarter le deuxième connecteur du premieur connecteur (mâle) de telle sorte que la première rangée de raccordement soit dans une partie non amincie de la carte fille.According to a preferred embodiment, said end of the daughter card is thinned. This allows in particular to separate the second connector from the first connector (male) so that the first connection row is in an unthinned part of the daughter board.

Une dite branche latérale peut présenter à une extrémité distale un logement disposé sur sa face interne et destiné à recevoir ladite extrémité, éventuellement amincie, ladite distance étant telle que, lorsque le premier et le deuxième connecteur sont connectés, un bord de la carte fille soit situé à proximité immédiate de ladite extrémité distale. Une face latérale du deuxième corps isolant peut alors présenter un moyen de maintien de ladite extrémité amincie de la carte fille.Said lateral branch may have at a distal end a housing arranged on its internal face and intended to receive said end, possibly thinned, said distance being such that, when the first and the second connector are connected, an edge of the daughter card is located in the immediate vicinity of said distal end. A side face of the second insulating body may then have means for holding said thinned end of the daughter card.

Ledit bord non aminci peut être situé à proximité immédiate d'une deuxième extrémité de dits éléments de connexion. On conserve ainsi une fixation efficace de la carte fille sur le deuxième corps isolant ce qui évite les contraintes sur les deuxièmes extrémités des deuxièmes éléments de connexion.Said unthinned edge may be located in the immediate vicinity of a second end of said connection elements. This keeps an efficient fixing of the daughter card on the second insulating body which avoids stresses on the second ends of the second connection elements.

D'autres caractéristiques et avantages apparaîtront à la lecture de la description qui va suivre, donnée à titre d'exemple non limitatif, en liaison avec les dessins qui représentent:

  • la figure 1, un ensemble de connexion selon l'art antérieur;
  • la figure 2, un ensemble de connexion selon un mode préféré de réalisation de l'invention;
  • et les figures 3 et 4, un ensemble de connexion selon une variante de l'invention, respectivement en cours de connexion et après connexion.
Other characteristics and advantages will appear on reading the description which follows, given by way of nonlimiting example, in conjunction with the drawings which represent:
  • Figure 1, a connection assembly according to the prior art;
  • Figure 2, a connection assembly according to a preferred embodiment of the invention;
  • and Figures 3 and 4, a connection assembly according to a variant of the invention, respectively during connection and after connection.

Selon la figure 1, un ensemble de connexion comporte un connecteur mâle 3 présentant un corps isolant 10 à profil en forme de U aplati et un connecteur femelle 5 présentant un corps central isolant 81.According to FIG. 1, a connection assembly comprises a male connector 3 having an insulating body 10 with a flattened U-shaped profile and a female connector 5 having a central insulating body 81.

Le corps isolant 10 comprend une région centrale 11 et deux branches latérales 12 et 13, la branche référencée 12 comprenant des moyens de détrompage. Le région centrale 11 comporte une pluralité d'éléments de contact 60 présentant une région 61 solidaire de la région centrale 11,une région 63 insérée à force ("press-fit") dans la carte mère 1, et une région de contact mâle 62 dépassant d'une face de connexion 31 de la région centrale 11.The insulating body 10 comprises a central region 11 and two lateral branches 12 and 13, the branch referenced 12 comprising polarizing means. The central region 11 comprises a plurality of contact elements 60 having a region 61 integral with the central region 11, a region 63 force-fitted ("press-fit") into the motherboard 1, and a male contact region 62 projecting from a connection face 31 of the central region 11.

Le corps central isolant 81 présente des éléments de contact 85 présentant une région 83 de contact femelle disposée en retrait d'une face de connexion 41 et un raccordement 88 à insertion forcée ("press-fit") dans une carte fille 2. Les éléments 85 présentent une région coudée 87 disposée dans une zone arrière isolante 89 du corps isolant 81. Un pion de centrage et de maintien 20 porté par une face latérale 82 du corps isolant 81 permet de solaridariser une extrémité 25 de la carte fille 2 avec le corps central isolant 81. Un logement 16 situé à la partie distale 17 de la branche 12 permet de recevoir l'extrémité du pion 20.The central insulating body 81 has contact elements 85 having a female contact region 83 disposed behind a connection face 41 and a connection 88 with forced insertion ("press-fit") in a daughter card 2. The elements 85 have a bent region 87 disposed in an insulating rear zone 89 of the insulating body 81. A centering and holding pin 20 carried by a lateral face 82 of the insulating body 81 makes it possible to solarize one end 25 of the daughter card 2 with the body insulating central 81. A housing 16 located at the distal part 17 of the branch 12 makes it possible to receive the end of the pin 20.

La figure 2 représente un ensemble de connexion qui permet, selon l'invention, la mise en oeuvre d'une carte fille 6 de plus grande épaisseur.Figure 2 shows a connection assembly which allows, according to the invention, the implementation of a daughter card 6 of greater thickness.

Une ou plusieurs rainures 42 du corps isolant 81 permettent de recevoir une cale d'épaisseur 40.One or more grooves 42 of the insulating body 81 make it possible to receive a shim of thickness 40.

Une cale d'épaisseur 40 rapportée est logée de manière amovible dans la région centrale 11 ou dans le corps central isolant 81 de telle sorte que, lorsque les connecteurs 3 et 5 sont assemblés les faces 31 et 41 soient espacées l'une de l'autre. Ceci permet de décaler longitudinalement les deux connecteurs assemblés 3 et 5 de telle sorte que l'extrémité 62 de la carte fille 6 soit espacée de l'extrémité distale 53 du bras 12. La position de l'extrémité 70 de la carte fille reste inchangée.A shim of added thickness 40 is removably housed in the central region 11 or in the insulating central body 81 so that, when the connectors 3 and 5 are assembled, the faces 31 and 41 are spaced apart from one another. other. This allows longitudinally offset the two assembled connectors 3 and 5 so that the end 62 of the daughter card 6 is spaced from the distal end 53 of the arm 12. The position of the end 70 of the daughter card remains unchanged.

Sur les dessins, l'extrémité 61 de la carte fille 6 est amincie. La partie proximale 63 de l'extrémité 61 se prolonge par un bord de raccordement 62 avec l'extrémité non amincie 66 de la carte fille 6. Cette extrémité 66 se situe au voisinage immédiat d'une rangée 89 de raccordements 88 et à proximité de l'extrémité 53 du bras 12. La cale d'épaisseur 40 permet ainsi de maintenir la rangée 89 de contacts 88 dans une région non amincie de la carte fille 6 et au plus près de l'extrémité distale (ici chanfreinée) de la branche 12.In the drawings, the end 61 of the daughter card 6 is thinned. The proximal part 63 of the end 61 is extended by a connection edge 62 with the unthinned end 66 of the daughter card 6. This end 66 is located in the immediate vicinity of a row 89 of connections 88 and close to the end 53 of the arm 12. The thickness shim 40 thus makes it possible to maintain the row 89 of contacts 88 in an unthinned region of the daughter card 6 and as close as possible to the distal end (here chamfered) of the branch 12.

On notera en outre qu'il est préféré d'utiliser la cale d'épaisseur rapportée 40 également comme moyen de détrompage. Des éléments de détrompage rapportés sont connus, notamment de la demande de brevet européen EP 0392629 (Van Woensel). En outre, une telle cale est compatible avec les logements tels que 42 (fig. 2 à 4).It will further be noted that it is preferred to use the shim of added thickness 40 also as a keying means. Reported keying elements are known, in particular from European patent application EP 0392629 (Van Woensel). In addition, such a shim is compatible with housings such as 42 (fig. 2 to 4).

Une cale rapportée 40 permet d'adapter facilement un ensemble de connexion standard à toutes les épaisseurs de carte fille. En outre, comme indiqué ci-dessus, elle peut ou non remplir une fonction de détrompage, ce qui confère une grande souplesse d'utilisation à faible coût.An attached shim 40 makes it easy to adapt a standard connection set to all the thicknesses of the daughter card. In addition, as indicated above, it may or may not fulfill a keying function, which gives great flexibility of use at low cost.

Selon les figures 3 et 4, la cale d'épaisseur 44 fait partie intégrante de la région centrale 11 (ou du corps central isolant 81). Dans ce cas, l'ensemble de connexion est en principe prévu pour une épaisseur maximale donnée de la carte fille 6. Il est cependant possible de mettre en oeuvre également une cale rapportée amovible pour réaliser une adaptation à d'autres épaisseurs de carte fille 6.According to Figures 3 and 4, the shim 44 is an integral part of the central region 11 (or of the central insulating body 81). In this case, the connection assembly is in principle provided for a thickness given maximum of the daughter card 6. However, it is also possible to use a removable insert shim to adapt to other thicknesses of daughter card 6.

Selon les figures 1 à 4, on notera également que la distance entre le bord 70 de la carte 6 et le plan de pose 71 de la carte 1 est le même dans le cas de la figure 1 représentant l'art antérieur pour des épaisseurs de carte 2 allant jusqu'à 2,4 mm, et des figures 2 à 4 représentant un système de connexion pour une carte 6 d'épaisseur 3,2 mm.According to FIGS. 1 to 4, it will also be noted that the distance between the edge 70 of the card 6 and the laying plane 71 of the card 1 is the same in the case of FIG. 1 representing the prior art for thicknesses of card 2 up to 2.4 mm, and Figures 2 to 4 showing a connection system for a card 6 3.2 mm thick.
