Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for connecting a coaxial cable to a printed circuit board.
  • the electrical connection between the coaxial cable and the card is then obtained by coupling the two connector elements.
  • the present invention aims to solve these drawbacks by proposing a device for connecting a coaxial cable to a printed circuit board which comprises a reduced number of parts, which can also be easily manufactured and assembled.
  • the body is made of two complementary parts each comprising a half-housing for the end of the coaxial cable, the two parts being able to close on said end of the coaxial cable to be subject to it.
  • each contact pin comprises, opposite its external end projecting from the connection face, an end internal to the body opening into the housing, each internal end being arranged so that the core, respectively the outer braid of the coaxial cable comes into contact with the pin when the coaxial cable is placed with its stripped end in the housing of the body.
  • the contact pins are produced by compacting metal wires of very small diameter, for example molybdenum wires of 0.01 mm in diameter.
  • the fixing means consists of a base capable of receiving the body and of holding it by snap-fastening with its connection face against the printed circuit board.
  • This base is advantageously provided with studs capable of forcing into holes made for this purpose in the printed circuit board.
  • the device shown in the drawing comprises a body 1 of generally parallelepiped shape and a base 2 constituting, within the meaning of the invention, a means of fixing the body to a printed circuit board 3.
  • the body 1 is mounted at the end of a coaxial cable 4 which comprises, inside its insulating sheath 5, a metal braid 6 for shielding and a central conductive core 7.
  • a housing is provided, for the coaxial cable 4, inside the body 1.
  • This housing is produced in two half-housings which are each provided in one of the two parts 1 a , and 1 b of the body, so that the axis of the housing is located in the connection plane of the two parts 1 a , 1 b of the body.
  • the half-housing comprises three sections semicylindrical diameter decreasing, namely, a portion 10 of diameter substantially equal to that of the cladding 5, a length 11 of diameter substantially equal to that of the braid outer 6 and a section 12 of diameter substantially equal to that of the central core 7.
  • the large diameter section 10 opens onto one of the lateral faces 13 of the body 1, a tooth 14 formed by a portion of a collar of smaller diameter extending over approximately 90 ° being provided at the mouth of said section 10 to tighten the sheath 5 when the two parts 1 a and 1 b of the body are assembled in order to maintain the coaxial cable 4 in its housing.
  • the half-housing of the lower part 1 b comprises sections 10 and 11 identical to those of the upper part 1 a .
  • the lower part 1b comprises a parallelepipedic cavity 12 '.
  • the lower part 1b further comprises two through passages 15 and 16 which extend, for the passage 15, between the section 11 and the lower face 17 of the part 1b , which lower face 17 constitutes, within the meaning of the invention, the connection face of the body 1 and, for the passage 16, between the parallelepiped cavity 12 'and said connection face 17.
  • Contact pins 18, 19, produced by compacting molybdenum wires and consequently having a certain axial elasticity, are housed in the passages 15 and 16 with their ends projecting on either side of the said passages.
  • the base 2 which is made of plastic, has a parallelepiped external shape open on its face corresponding to the face 13 of the body 1, as well as on its upper and lower faces, parallel to the printed circuit board 3.
  • cutouts 24, 25 and this window 26 thus delimit a sort of loop 27, in the shape of an inverted U, which is joined to the frame of bottom 20 by the ends of its branches and which, taking into account the small thickness of its branches, has sufficient elasticity to allow lateral movement of its upper part 27.
  • the walls 21 and 23 are identical and are each symmetrical with respect to a vertical axis (with respect to the drawing) passing through their center.
  • the upper part 1a of the body 1 comprises, as seen in Figure 3, side ears 28 which extend parallel to the axis of the coaxial cable 4 of a length corresponding to that of the window 26 of the base 2.
  • the substantially triangular section of the ears 28 allows them to snap into the handles 27 by lateral deformation of the latter when the body 1 is pushed into the base 2, in a translational movement perpendicular to the printed circuit board 3, in the direction of it.
  • the height of the ears 28 on the body 1 is determined so that their upper edges 28 a are located in the immediate vicinity of the horizontal branch of the handles 27 when the body is placed in the base. Said body is thus snapped into said base.
  • the base comprises a stud 29 at the four corners of its lower face while the body comprises two studs 30 projecting from its connection face 17, aligned with the passages 15 and 16 and on either side of the latter.
  • the pads 30 have the function of protecting the ends of the contact pins 18 and 19 when the body is not placed in the base.
  • a conductive track 34 penetrates into the metallization 33 up to an imprint 35 which is located opposite the contact pin 19.
  • the contact pin 19 comes into contact with the conductive track 34, thus electrically connecting the central core 7 of the coaxial cable 4 and said conductive track 34, while the outer braid 6 is connected to ground by the contact pin 18 which bears on the ground plate 33 at the level of the imprint 36.
  • the coaxial cable 4 is therefore connected to the printed circuit board 3 without any soldering and with a reduced number of parts, each of these parts being moreover economical to produce.
