Performance of connectors

8 月 6, 2023 通过 admin 0 评论 ,

Connectors have three fundamental performance categories: mechanical performance, electrical performance, and environmental performance. The emphasis on connector performance varies across different fields.

Mechanical performance refers to the ability of a connector to function properly under various mechanical forces. Important mechanical performance factors of connectors include insertion force and withdrawal force. Insertion force refers to the force required for insertion, while withdrawal force refers to the force required for extraction. Mechanical lifespan refers to the durability of the connector and is determined by whether the connector can maintain its functionality after a specified number of insertion and withdrawal cycles.

Electrical performance refers to the ability of a connector to maintain its proper functionality under different current and voltage conditions. It mainly includes contact resistance, insulation resistance, withstand voltage, and electromagnetic interference shielding effectiveness. Other electrical indicators for connectors such as RF coaxial connectors include characteristic impedance, insertion loss, reflection coefficient, and voltage standing wave ratio. For high-speed signal connectors, new electrical indicators such as crosstalk, transmission delay, and time delay have emerged.

Environmental performance refers to the ability of a connector to operate normally in various environmental conditions. Common environmental performance factors include temperature resistance, humidity resistance, salt spray resistance, vibration resistance, and shock resistance. Other environmental performance factors include sealing capability, resistance to liquid immersion, and low-pressure resistance.

8 月 4, 2023 通过 admin 0 评论 ,

The Cabline®-VS series of the Cabline®-VS series developed and produced by the I-PEX Company is the LED backlight industry standard interface connector defined by the VESA® Association, which has been widely used in the laptop industry for more than 10 years. The high -tech is changing with each passing day, and new demand is also proposed to the connector interface to improve the transmission characteristics. Therefore, I-PEX has developed a series of connection solutions to meet the current and future needs.

Three reasons to need a new type of connection scheme

1.emi interference problem

In recent years, narrow -frame panels have become popular, so the utilization of PCB boards has become higher and higher. Some necessary functional devices (controllers, radio frequency antennas, camera modules) need to be integrated on a PCB substrate. This will cause interference problems between various devices and signals. The launch of a connector with an EMI shield can solve this problem well.

2. The panel interface requires ultra -high -speed data transmission

The pixels of the display panel (2K-> 4K-> 5K-> 8K) and refresh rate (30 Hz-> 60 Hz-> 120 Hz) are gradually improving, and the EDP specifications of the panel industry are also being updated. Therefore Support higher -speed data transmission requirements.

EDP specification:

● RBR (1.62 gbps/lane)

● HBR (2.70 gbps/lane)

● HBR2 (5.40 Gbps/Lane)

● HBR3 (8.10 gbps/lane)

● UHBR20 DP Next generation specification (20 Gbps/Lane)

3. In addition to the panel, the demand for high -speed data transmission in the electronic equipment

Different data transmission standards are becoming more and more urgent. The more popular data interface standards, such as USB, Thunderbolt ™ and DP, have all reached the rate of 20 Gbps/Lane.

The new design concept meets the ultimate coaxial connector Cabline®-VS II ・ CABLINE®-CA II

Cabline-VS II ・ Cabline-CA II series connector is designed with a 360 ° full shielding structure, and the self-lock-type horizontal plug-in polar fine coaxial connector. The main difference is that the spacing of the connector (vs II: 0.5 mm, CA II: 0.4 mm), height (vs II: 1.2 mm max, CA II: 1.1 mm max).

● The application of your company requires a coaxial axis with relatively thick line diameter (the pole fine coaxial axis 45Ω AWG # 36, electronic line AWG # 32), so please use the Cabline-VS II series of products.

● If the occupied area of the connector is relatively small, please use the Cabline-CA II series products.

● Limited to the size of the substrate, but there is a large PIN demand, please use the Cabline-CA II series products.

Product characteristics and advantages:

● Adopt multi -point grounding and high signal integration design, suitable for ultra -high -speed data transmission, support USB4, Thunderbolt ™ 3, DP2.0 (20 Gbps/Lane)

● The connector comes with a 360 ° shielding mechanism, which can prevent EMI interference in all aspects, and perfectly implement the EMI leakage problem in a limited space.

● Mechanical self -locking design can prevent the unpopular insertion. The lock can ensure the reliability of the chimeric ground

● The Cabline®-VS series can be installed in the PCB package of the VS II series, and the Cabline-CA series can be installed in the PCB package of the CA II series

Cabline-VS series, VS II series, or the Cabline-CA series, the CA II series products can perform performance evaluation and comparison in parallel under the same PCB packaging. Customers can choose the optimal solution based on the evaluation results of the actual application.

Solution of the motherboard side connector

The requirements for high -speed data transmission and anti -EMI interference are not limited to the LCD panel side, and the same requirements are also the same as the motherboard side connected to the LCD panel. In order to simplify the design and convenient operation, the connector on the laptop’s motherboard side is generally used with a 90 ° vertical plug -in product. I-PEX’s FPL series (extremely fine coaxial coaxial connector with a spacing of 0.5mm) was widely used. Based on the needs of high -speed data transmission, we provide solutions for vertical plug -in connectors.

Cabline®-UM is a coaxial connector with a spacing of 0.4mm and 90 °. It has the characteristics of 360 ° anti-EMI shielding hood, optional mechanical lock, and the height is 2.20 +/- 0.15 mm

Product characteristics and advantages:

● Adopt multi -point grounding and high signal integration design, suitable for ultra -high -speed data transmission, support USB4, Thunderbolt ™ 3, DP2.0 (20 Gbps/Lane)

● The connector comes with a 360 ° shielding mechanism, which can prevent EMI interference in all aspects, and perfectly implement the EMI leakage problem in a limited space.

Introducing I-PEX’s High-Temperature Connector Products

8 月 3, 2023 通过 admin 0 评论 ,

I-PEX offers high-temperature resistant products that can be guaranteed to operate at temperatures up to 105℃ and 125℃.This article introduces the product series best suited for each application that requires high-temperature resistance.

I-PEX offers high-temperature resistant products that can be guaranteed to operate at temperatures up to 105℃ and 125℃.

In recent years, high heat and high vibration resistance were important for connectors used in automotive and industrial equipment, but these characteristics have also become increasingly important in consumer equipment as well, while equipment and systems have become smaller and more sophisticated. One example is “Mini-LED” backlight technology, in which several thousand micron-sized miniature LEDs are arranged on a highly transparent glass substrate for use in LCD TV backlighting. Compared to conventional LED backlights arranged on printed circuit boards, Mini-LEDs are more efficient, brighter, and have a longer life span. However, the large number of LEDs required and the large number of electronic components densely packed in the control area raise the ambient temperature, leading to an increase in overall heat density. Therefore, connectors must have sufficient heat resistance.

This article introduces the product series best suited for each application that requires high-temperature resistance.

Matrix of high-temperature resistance recommended connectors

(*Only Specified Products)
Features of I-PEX high-temperature connectors
I-PEX has designed high-temperature connectors by making full use of our vast  experience, so that they can be used safely even in severe environments where high temperatures and long hours of operation are anticipated.
1.Material Selection
I-PEX selects materials with excellent workability, dielectric properties, and thermal conductivity, as well as stress relaxation characteristics that stabilize spring characteristics even in high-temperature use environments, and materials that can ensure consistent contact. Most of our products are made of phosphor bronze contact material, but we also use Corson alloy for high-temperature products, which is a stronger material without sacrificing the high electrical and thermal conductivity inherent in copper.
2.Design
To obtain stable electrical contact, a certain level of contact pressure is required between mutual contacts. The contacts are made of a metal material and are designed in a spring shape. We focus on designing connectors that make good use of spring characteristics so that they can return to their original position and maintain contact force even during connector insertion,  removal operations and stress relaxation.
Typical example: EVAFLEX® 5-SE-GVT

The contact shape has sufficient deflection (height) to maintain contact pressure even after stress relaxation.
3.Reliability Test
I-PEX is equipped with the following facilities for mechanical performance and environmental testing, as well as conducting reliability testing.

I-PEX ZENSHIELD® connector transmission MIPI’s camera module signal

8 月 3, 2023 通过 admin 0 评论 ,

The era of epidemic greatly changed people’s lifestyle. With more and more people at home, there are more and more opportunities for online meetings and talks. Therefore, people have also changed dramatically for the performance of electronic equipment.

In particular, many of the latest laptops have enhanced the camera function to meet such needs, and more and more are equipped with high -definition cameras and infrared cameras for facial recognition.

The signal transmission from the camera module to the motherboard generally uses USB, but with the improvement of the camera resolution, many cases have been used to use the MIPI CSI-2 D-PHY, and its communication speed is faster than USB. In the past, the MIPI signal that needed to output the camera image sensor was converted into a USB signal inside the camera module for transmission.

MIPI CSI-2 D-PHY V2.1 supports the transmission speed of up to 4.5 Gbps per channel, which is much faster than the traditional USB 2.0. Traditional USB 2.0 supports up to 480 Mbps per channel. However, in the laptop and tablet, various electronic components are densely installed, and the antenna is often installed nearby. The MIPI signal (including the D-Phy system clock signal line) may adversely affect the antenna. Therefore, EMC measures are very effective for preventing signal interference between them.

  1. PEX Zensheild® connector series can provide excellent EMC countermeasures. The 360 -degree EMC shielding design can not only prevent electromagnetic noise radiation from the contact point of the public and female seats, but also prevent electromagnetic noise radiation from the board installation part (SMT position) from the signal terminal. In addition, when the connector is embedded to correct the correct ground to the circuit board, the mask and the mother seat shielding layer is correctly connected to connect at multiple points. This ensures that the current generated in the metal shielding layer of the connector has sufficient grounding path. This can inhibit electromagnetic noise from its shielding layer.

Design of ZenSheild® connector series

1. The entire connector is covered with 360 ° shielding, used for public seats and mother seats -not only the contact part of the signal terminal, but also the board installation part (SMT position).

2. The shielding interface between the public seat and the mother seat is effectively connected on multiple points.

3. In addition, multiple points of the interface of the connector shielded to the board are correctly grounded on the board, thereby improving the ground return path.
