Abstract

A high frequency adapter electrically connecting a docking device to a circuit board. The high frequency adapter includes an insulating body, a high frequency signal terminal conductively connected to the circuit board, and two grounding terminals located at two sides of the high frequency signal terminal and conductively connected to the circuit board. Lateral projections of the high frequency signal terminal and the two grounding terminals are approximately the same and overlapping. Both the high frequency signal terminal and the two grounding terminals are pressed by the docking device.

Claims

1. A high frequency adapter, electrically connecting a docking device to a circuit board, comprising:

an insulating body, located above the circuit board, wherein the insulating body has a first end surface facing the docking device;

a radio frequency (RF) signal terminal, fixed in the insulating body, wherein the RF signal terminal has a first conductive connection portion conductively connected to the circuit board, and a first contact portion extending from the first conductive connection portion is exposed out of the first end surface;

two grounding terminals, fixed in the insulating body and located at two sides of the RF signal terminal, wherein each of the grounding terminals has a second conductive connection portion conductively connected to the circuit board, and a second contact portion extending from the second conductive connection portion is exposed out of the first end surface,

wherein lateral projections of the RF signal terminal and the two grounding terminals are approximately the same and overlapping, and the first contact portion and two second contact portions are commonly pressed by the docking device;

wherein an upper surface of the circuit board is disposed with a coaxial cable connector plugged by a cable docking head, and the high frequency adapter is conductively connected to the coaxial cable connector; and

wherein the coaxial cable connector comprises a main body, a movable terminal and a fixed terminal fixed in the main body, and a shielding shell covering the main body, wherein before the cable docking head is plugged into the coaxial cable connector, the movable terminal and the fixed terminal are conductively connected, and when the cable docking head is plugged into the coaxial cable connector and is conductively connected to the movable terminal, the movable terminal and the fixed terminal are disconnected.

2. The high frequency adapter according to claim 1, wherein three receiving slots are abreast and concavely disposed on the first end surface, each of the receiving slots runs through a bottom surface of the insulating body downward, and a sidewall of each of the receiving slots is disposed with a blocker which is located at an upper end of the receiving slot and is close to the first end surface.

3. The high frequency adapter according to claim 2, wherein the RF signal terminal has a first stop portion in a curved shape which is located in the receiving slot and butts against the blocker, and the first stop portion is connected to the first conductive connection portion and the first contact portion.

4. The high frequency adapter according to claim 2, wherein the RF signal terminal has a first stop portion which is located in the receiving slot and butts against the blocker, and the first stop portion is formed by upward extension of the first contact portion.

5. The high frequency adapter according to claim 1, wherein the RF signal terminal is conductively connected to the movable terminal.

6. The high frequency adapter according to claim 1, wherein the RF signal terminal and the movable terminal are integrally formed.

7. The high frequency adapter according to claim 1, wherein the main body is formed by covering of a first main body and a second main body, and a fixing hole is concavely disposed on the first main body for receiving the cable docking head to be inserted therein.

8. The high frequency adapter according to claim 1, wherein the two grounding terminals are conductively connected to the shielding shell, and, together with the shielding shell, are conductively connected to the circuit board and are grounded.

9. The high frequency adapter according to claim 1, wherein the RF signal terminal transmits an RF signal.
