The present invention is directed to a coaxial electrical connector component for providing an electrical connection between at least one contact component and a primary printed circuit card, the connector component including an intermediate printed circuit card.

British Patent Application No. GB 2 169 157 discloses an electrical connector for connecting a plurality of conductors to a primary printed circuit card. The connector includes a second printed circuit card carrying a conductor track that is secured to the primary circuit card by conductive tabs. This conventional connector has disadvantages. In detail, the conductive tab is deformed by mechanical stress, which in turn damages the connector.

Therefore, there is a need to improve the reliability of a coaxial electrical connector component, particularly with regard to its mechanical retention on a printed circuit card.

Providing an electrical connection between the at least one contact component and a primary printed circuit card, each contact component comprising a central conductor and an outer conductor, the connector component comprising a support component for receiving the connection a point component, and an intermediate printed circuit card carrying a conductor track electrically connectable to a conductor track of the primary printed circuit card, the electrical connector component being characterized in that the intermediate printed circuit card has an end face, the end face There is at least one protrusion, and one of the conductor tracks of the intermediate printed circuit card extends beyond the protrusion and is in contact with the conductor track of the primary printed circuit card.

With the present invention, the connector component can be secured to the primary printed circuit card without the need for a fixed tab that is replaced by a tab formed directly on the end face of the intermediate printed circuit card.

When mounted on an intermediate printed circuit card, the above design can increase the reliability of the mechanical strength of the connector components.

In addition, the cost of the connector component can be reduced because the number of parts in the connector component is reduced, especially if it does not use any fixed tabs.

The intermediate printed circuit card can be rigid, that is, it does not bend under normal operation.

Preferably, the intermediate printed circuit card has apertures, each aperture receiving a central conductor of a contact element, and each aperture is coupled to a conductor track of the intermediate circuit card.

It is quite advantageous that the size of the orifice can be chosen such that the central conductor can be inserted into the corresponding orifice in a press fit manner.

This adjustment is particularly important because it allows the various parts of the connector component to be welded simultaneously.

This makes it possible to avoid welding operations or to use separate nesting elements, such as bushings, to form a contact between the central conductor and the intermediate circuit card.

In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the end face has a plurality of protruding portions formed by the protruding portion, wherein the protruding portion is disposed equidistantly along the end surface, wherein the complex protrusion The end faces of the extensions are substantially coplanar with each other.

Preferably, the support member comprises a casing having a plurality of outer casings, each outer casing for receiving a further contact member.

The casing may have a first surface for receiving the intermediate printed circuit card, and the second surface preferably includes an opening to allow the contact member to be inserted into the casing in.

In one embodiment of the invention, the intermediate printed circuit card is perpendicular to the primary printed circuit card after assembly is complete.

The first surface has a peripheral portion projecting from a major plane of the first surface, the intermediate printed circuit card being supported on the peripheral portion.

In a particular embodiment of the invention, the cartridge system is generally in the shape of a parallelepiped, and preferably has a projection on a surface for supporting the primary printed circuit card to The circuit card can be soldered thereto.

The intermediate printed circuit card and the support member comprise raised portions that can cooperate with each other.

Preferably, the raised portions are also electrically connectable to connect the intermediate circuit to the support member.

The support member is particularly advantageous to include at least one deformable tab for securing the intermediate printed circuit card and making electrical contact with a ground plane.

When the support element comprises a box having a substantially square first surface for receiving the intermediate printed circuit card, the box system advantageously has two deformable tabs which are arranged substantially The central portion of the two parallel edges of the first surface.

The intermediate printed circuit card can have side cutouts to retain a space therebetween to at least partially receive the tab.

It is quite advantageous if the support element is electrically conductive and grounded and moulded from a zinc alloy or a metallized plastic material.

It is quite advantageous that the intermediate printed circuit card can have two surfaces, a first surface having a conductor track and a second surface having a conductive metallized surface on a major portion thereof, wherein the metallization The surface is used to form a ground plane and, as the case may be, a lacquer, which is preferably attached to the electrically conductive support element.

In a particular embodiment, the ground plane of the intermediate printed circuit card is coupled to the support member via the deformable tab. This can enhance the electromagnetic shielding effect.

For example, the intermediate printed circuit card can be constructed from a substrate made of glass epoxy.

Other features and advantages of the present invention will be obtained from the following detailed description of the embodiments without the accompanying claims

The generally square front face 5 has a support surface 10 along its top edge and its two adjacent side edges, the support surface projecting out of the flat surface 11.

The support surface 10 is for receiving the intermediate printed circuit card.

The flat surface 11 is penetrated by four circular perforations 12, each of which is located near each corner of the front surface 5.

The front 5 series has two deformable tabs 14 projecting from the support surface 10, and the tabs 14 are disposed to be aligned with each other, and each tab is located substantially on each side of the front surface 5. The middle position of the edge.

These tabs 14 are used to secure the intermediate printed circuit card to the casing 2.

The support member 2 also has side and front side extensions 15 and 16, wherein the bottom surface of the extension portion has a projection 18 that can stand upright on one of the surfaces of the primary printed circuit card and is suitable for soldering to the surface on.

A space 20 is retained between the two front extensions 16, the purpose of which will be explained below.

The casing 2 has a bottom surface 21 with projections 18 on its periphery and two struts 22 on the bottom surface for positioning the connector element 1 on the primary printed circuit card.

The bottom surface 21 also has an opening 25 having a rectangular cross section.

The casing 2 also has four outer casings 30, a portion of each outer casing 30 being bounded by a tubular wall 31, and the outer casing 30 extends through the aperture 32 to the back surface 6.
