Electrical connector for a chip module

USPTO Application #: 20070077789
Title: Electrical connector for a chip module
Abstract: An electrical connector for a chip module including an insulator body and a conductive terminal. The insulator body has a plurality of receptor holes. Each of the plurality of receptor holes has a first conductive terminal and a second receptor hole. A first end of the first conductive terminal forms a first conductive connecting section connected to a terminal of the chip module and a second end forming a press-on section. A first end of the second conductive terminal forms a second conductive connecting section that could be electrically connected to an external electronic terminal and a second end forms an elastic section that presses against the press-on section of the first conductive terminal. At least one part of the first conductive connecting section is located at an oblique angle relative to an outer edge of the insulator body. (end of abstract)

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0001] (a) Field of the Invention

[0002] This invention is regarding the design of a kind of electrical connector, in particular a kind of electrical connector for the connection with the pressed on contact of chip module.

[0003] (b) Description of the Prior Art

[0004] In the present market, there is a kind of LGA chip module available in some electronic products (such as PC). The conductive connection side of this kind of chip module is in the form of a washer. The electrical connector connecting to it is designed with a terminal in contact with a pressed on conductive terminal. The electrical connector of the present art includes the insulator body and conductive terminal. The insulator body is installed with a conductive terminal receptor for housing the conductive terminal. The holding part is formed in one body, including the holding part that is held in the main body. The holding part extending downward is designed with the soldering section to be soldered to PCB. The part extending upward is designed with a contact portion that is connected to the press-on part of the chip module. Though the conductivity of this kind of electrical connector is higher, its receptor usually is in rectangular form and aligned in parallel with the main body. This results in the distance between two conductive terminals becoming too large and cannot be tightly arranged. Also, in assembling the chip module, the conductive terminal tends to slant on one side that could easily create level shifting. The shape of the terminal is also quite complicated and takes up a larger space. It is also prone to generate higher inductor effect with the neighboring terminal, which is not in favor of high frequency transmission.

[0005] Hence, there is a need to design a kind of electrical connector to overcome the above problem.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0006] The objective of this invention is to provide an innovative design of a kind of electrical connector that can be tightly arranged and at the same time realize the fast communication between electronic component and PCB.

[0007] To realize the above objective, the electrical connector of the present invention comprises the insulator body and conductive terminal, the insulator body is designed with several terminal receptors, in which the features are: each receptor hole is designed with the first conductive terminal and the second conductive terminal; the first conductive terminal forms the first conductive connecting portion that could be electrically connected to external electronic component, and the other end forms the press-on section; one end of the second conductive terminal forms the second conductive connecting section that could be electrically connected to external electronic component, and the other end forms the elastic section that could press against the above said press-on section, and at least one part of the first conductive connecting terminal presents slanting arrangement.

[0008] Comparing to the present art, the electrical connector of this invention can be tightly arranged, and can effectively reduce inductor effect, and better meets the need of high frequency circuits, thus realizing the fast transmission between electronic component and PCB.
