Card edge connector with terminals arranged in four rows
The granted patent (Publication Number: US11929567B2) discloses a card edge connector with a unique design to improve signal transmission and grounding. The connector includes a housing with two elongate walls and a card slot between them. Two rows of terminals are arranged on the walls, with signal and grounding terminals each having contacting and soldering portions. The soldering portions are organized into pairs, with most pairs consisting of a signal terminal and a grounding terminal, while the remaining pairs are either two signal terminals or two grounding terminals. This configuration aims to enhance the electrical connection and reduce interference in the transmission of signals.
Furthermore, the card edge connector in the patent features a design where the soldering portions of terminal pairs are aligned along the longitudinal direction. Each row of terminals comprises multiple terminal pairs, with the soldering portions of adjacent pairs offset to create four rows. The majority of terminal pairs consist of a signal terminal and a grounding terminal, while the rest are either two signal terminals or two grounding terminals. This arrangement is intended to optimize the layout of the terminals for efficient signal transmission and grounding within the connector. Overall, the patented design offers a structured and organized approach to terminal placement, aiming to enhance the performance and reliability of card edge connectors in electronic devices.
