Unlike general signals, the RF signal transmitted by the receptacle connector 100 is important in how much it prevents communication quality such as signal loss from being impaired. EMI shielding is important because if RF signals leak to the outside, it can cause malfunctions between electronic device chips. If external noise enters the RF contact, it causes signal loss and signal errors, so it is important to prevent RF signals from leaking to the outside. Shielding is important. In addition, the RF signal shielding performance improves as the area in contact with the counterpart plug shield 250 to which the receptacle shield 150 is coupled increases, so the contact area between the receptacle shield 150 and the plug shield 250 is increased.

That is, as the plug shield 250 is inserted into the second plug receiving space 134 of the receptacle connector 100, the outer surface of the plug shield 250 and the inner surface of the receptacle shield 150 contact each other. It can be energized.

The plug shield 250 may be formed of an electrically conductive material to conduct electricity. Additionally, the plug shield 250 may be formed of a high-rigidity material. In the above embodiment, the plug shield 250 conducts electricity with the receptacle connector 100 while simultaneously increasing the rigidity of the plug insulator 202 and the coupling force between the plug connector 200 and the substrate (not shown).

The plug shield 250 can be formed by bending according to the shape of the edge of the plug insulator 202. As shown in FIG. 4, the shape of the plug shield support portion 240 of the plug insulator 202 is Accordingly, it can be formed as an integrated piece to cover it. The receptacle shield part is formed by a deep drawing method, die casting, MIM (Metal Injection Molding) method, CNC (Computer Numerical Control) processing, MCT (Machining Center Tool) processing, or bending and forming a plate. It can be formed by doing so. The plug shield 250 may cover the outer and upper surfaces of the plug shield support portion 240 as one piece without any seams or disconnected areas. The plug shield 250 may be made of a metal material such as copper (Cu) or an alloy containing it, and may function to guide the receptacle connector 100 when combined with the receptacle connector 100. .

That is, since the plug shield 250 is formed through a deep drawing method, the edges of the inner or outer surface of the plug shield 250 can be gently inclined. Accordingly, when the receptacle connector 100 is coupled, the receptacle connector 100 can be naturally guided on the surface of the plug shield 250.

In addition, in the case of the plug insulator 202, since it is made of a material with relatively weak strength such as plastic, there is a risk of damage due to impact applied when coupled to the receptacle connector 100. To prevent such damage, a metal material is used. The plug shield 250 can be assembled to surround the edge of the plug insulator 202.

The side of the plug shield 250 includes a first plug shield side wall 251 and a second plug shield side wall 252 extending in the X direction, and a third plug shield side wall 253 and a fourth plug shield extending in the Y direction. May include a side wall 254. The plug shield first side wall 251 and the plug shield second side wall 252 are spaced apart in the Y direction and are formed parallel to each other, and the plug shield third side wall 253 and the plug shield fourth side wall 254 are They may be spaced apart in the X direction and formed parallel to each other.

Additionally, a coupling protrusion 257 may be formed on the side of the plug shield 250. Additionally, the engaging protrusion 257 may be inserted into the inner surface of the receptacle shield 150, which is in contact with the outer surface of the plug shield 250, to form a coupling groove 156.

Accordingly, when the plug connector 200 and the receptacle connector 100 are coupled, the coupling protrusion 257 is inserted into the coupling groove 156 to be fixed and the coupling force can be increased.

In this embodiment, the coupling protrusion 257 is formed on the plug shield 250, and the coupling groove 156 is formed on the receptacle shield 150. However, the present invention is necessarily limited to this. It doesn't work.

For example, a coupling groove 156 may be formed on the outer surface of the plug shield 250, and a coupling protrusion 257 may be formed on the outer surface of the receptacle shield 150. Alternatively, engaging protrusions 257 that engage or engage with each other may be formed on the outer surface of the plug shield 250 and the outer surface of the receptacle shield 150.

In addition, the coupling protrusion 257 and the coupling groove 156 are in close contact with each other, so that electromagnetic interference emitted from the plug contact and the receptacle contact can be shielded.

Unlike general signals, the RF signal transmitted by the plug connector 200 is important in how much it prevents communication quality such as signal loss from being impaired. EMI shielding is important because if RF signals leak to the outside, it can cause malfunctions between electronic device chips. If external noise enters the RF contact, it causes signal loss and signal errors, so it is important to prevent RF signals from leaking to the outside. Shielding is important. In addition, the RF signal shielding performance improves as the area in contact with the counterpart receptacle shield 150 to which the plug shield 250 is coupled increases, so the contact area between the receptacle shield 150 and the plug shield 250 is increased. It is important to secure and ground it.

Meanwhile, the side surface of the plug shield 250 may include a first plug shield side wall 251 to a fourth plug shield side wall 254.

Additionally, engaging protrusions 257 may be formed on the first side wall 251 of the plug shield 251 to the fourth side wall 254 of the plug shield as described above. The engaging protrusion 257 may be formed along the lengthwise direction in which the plug shield first side wall 251 to the plug shield fourth side wall 254 extends.

As described above, when the plug connector 200 and the receptacle connector 100 are coupled, the plug shield 250 may be inserted into the second plug receiving space 134 of the receptacle connector 100.

At this time, the outer surface of the plug shield 250 is in contact with the inner surface of the receptacle shield 150. As shown in FIG. 5, the plug connector 200 is coupled to the receptacle connector 100. In the process, if the angle is slightly twisted or an inclination occurs, the plug shield second side wall 253 of the plug shield 250 may come into contact with the receptacle socket 110.

While the plug shield 250 is made of a hard metal material, the receptacle socket 110 is made of a relatively soft plastic material, so the plug shield 250 and the receptacle socket 110 are repeatedly contacted or engaged in a coupling process. If excessive force is applied, there is a risk that the receptacle socket 110, which is made of a relatively soft material, may be damaged.

Accordingly, the portions of the plug shield third side wall 253 and the plug shield fourth side wall 254 corresponding to the receptacle socket 110 are the plug shield third side wall 253 and the plug shield fourth side wall 254. A depression 255 may be formed at a lower height than the remaining portion or the first side wall 251 of the plug shield and the second side wall 252 of the plug shield 252 .

That is, a depression 255 is formed in the plug shield third side wall 253 and the plug shield fourth side wall 254, so that the plug connector 200 and the receptacle connector 100 are coupled together. Damage of the receptacle socket 110 can be prevented by preventing the plug shield third side wall 253 and the plug shield fourth side wall 254 of the shield 250 from contacting the receptacle socket 110 .

The receptacle connector 100 or the plug connector 200 is an ultra-small size product with a width of 1 cm or less and a length of 1 cm or less, so it is impossible for an operator to visually check the connector when fastening it, so many defects may occur during fastening. Therefore, when designing a connector of this ultra-small size, even the smallest details must be taken into consideration to minimize product damage.

The height of the portion of the plug shield third side wall 253 where the depression 255 is formed is the remaining portion of the plug shield third side wall 253 where the depression 255 is not formed or the first side wall of the plug shield ( 251) can be formed at a height that is 20 to 40% lower than the height of 251). Preferably, it can be formed with a height that is 30% lower.

Additionally, the width of the recessed portion 255 may be equal to or wider than the width of the receptacle socket 110 in the width direction.

Additionally, the top of the portion of the plug shield third side wall 253 where the depression 255 is formed may be formed at the position where the engaging protrusion 257 of the plug shield third side wall 253 is formed.

Meanwhile, the plug connector 200 may include a probe contact portion 259.

The probe contact portion 259 is formed to have a flat surface on the upper surface of the plug shield 250, thereby securing a space where the probe of the inspection device can be contacted during the energization test.

Since the size of the connector 10 is ultra-small and the probe of the inspection device that inspects the connector 10 is also ultra-small, a separate space must be secured for the small-sized probe to contact the plug shield 250. The contact portion 259 can secure a space where the probe of the inspection device can be contacted.

The probe contact portion 259 may be formed to extend a certain distance in the direction of the plug shield first side wall 251 from a corner point where the plug shield first side wall 251 and the plug shield third side wall 253 meet.

At this time, when the probe member 200 and the receptacle connector 100 are coupled, the probe contact portion 259 is accommodated in the second plug receiving space 134, so the Y direction of the probe contact portion 259 The length may be shorter than the width of the second plug receiving space 134 (the distance between the inner surface of the receptacle shield 150 and the outer surface of the receptacle socket 110).

Meanwhile, a plug contact 260 may be disposed on the plug insulator 202.

The plug RF fixing part 283 is formed to protrude from the plug RF embedding part 281 in a direction opposite to the direction in which the plug RF contact part 285 is formed. Since it protrudes in the opposite direction to the plug RF contact part 285, when combined with the receptacle connector 100, contact begins from the top of the plug RF contact part 285, and even if excessive force is applied, the plug RF contact part 285 does not collapse. It can act as a support that can withstand without damage.
