Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to an electrical connection apparatus provided on a substrate, comprising a base, a flexible circuit board, two connectors, and a fixing member. The flexible circuit board has a mating portion with a plurality of soldering pads; a mounting portion with a plurality of conductive blocks; and a plurality of conductive traces connecting the plurality of pads and the plurality of conductive blocks. The two connectors each have an insulative housing and a terminal. Each terminal has a soldering portion connected to the soldering pad. The substrate has a plurality of soldering pads connecting the conductive blocks. The fixing member fixes the base to the substrate. The present disclosure utilizes a ground layer of the flexible circuit board to reduce a signal crosstalk between the conductive traces, and utilizes the conductive blocks to connect the flexible circuit board and the substrate to improve coplanarity.

Claim (Index 1):
An electrical connection device provided on a substrate, the electrical connection device comprising:\n a base comprising:\n a first supporting portion; and \n a second supporting portion; \n a flexible circuit board comprising:\n a first mating portion configured to be supported by the first supporting portion in a first direction, the first mating portion having a first mating surface, a plurality of first soldering pads being provided on the first mating surface; \n a second mating portion configured to be supported by the first supporting portion in the first direction, the second mating portion having a second mating surface, a plurality of second soldering pads being provided on the second mating surface; \n a mounting portion configured to be supported by the second supporting portion in a second direction, the first direction being different from the second direction, the mounting portion having a mounting surface, a plurality of first conductive blocks and a plurality of second conductive blocks being provided on the mounting surface; \n a plurality of first conductive traces connecting the plurality of first soldering pads and the plurality of first conductive blocks; and \n a plurality of second conductive traces connecting the plurality of second soldering pads and the plurality of second conductive blocks; \n a first connector engaged with the first mating portion along the first direction, the first connector comprising: \n a first insulative housing; and \n a plurality of first terminals fixed to the first insulative housing, each first terminal comprising:\n a first contacting portion; and \n a first soldering portion connected to the first soldering pad; \n \n a second connector engaged with the second mating portion along the first direction, the second connector comprising:\n a second insulative housing; and \n a plurality of second terminals fixed to the second insulative housing, each second terminal comprising:\n a second contacting portion; and \n a second soldering portion connected to the second soldering pad; and \n \n a fixing member fixing the base on the substrate.
