Board to board connector assembly with elastically deformable cup washer
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11870168B2) discloses a unique connector suitable for use in a board-to-board connector assembly. The connector includes a pedestal with an elastically deformable cup washer arranged on top, featuring spring elements designed to interconnect with a second printed circuit board via an adapter or directly. The spring elements are conically inclined on the pedestal, enhancing local contact pressure in the mounted position. The cup washer, made from stamped sheet metal, is positioned above the center opening of the pedestal, providing a secure connection between the printed circuit boards.
Furthermore, the patent describes a board-to-board connector assembly comprising a first connector for the first printed circuit board, a second connector for the second printed circuit board, and an adapter for interconnection. The adapter includes inner and outer conductors, with the outer conductor separate from the inner conductor and featuring a bore for the inner conductor's arrangement. The assembly also incorporates a spacer element with fastening means for mechanical interconnection to the printed circuit boards, ensuring stability and efficient connectivity between the components. Overall, the patented technology offers a novel solution for board-to-board connections, improving contact pressure and facilitating secure interconnection in electronic devices.
