electrical connector

Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an electric connector with a reduced height.SOLUTION: An electric connector where an extension direction of a coaxial cable is nearly perpendicular to an insertion direction to a mating connector includes: a terminal having a contact part whose upper surface has contact with a central conductor of the coaxial cable and a fitting part to be fitted to the mating connector; an insulation seat having a body part for storing the fitting part of the terminal, shoulder parts extending in the extension direction from the body part, and a middle lid part that is connected to an upper part of the body part, where a connection part is bent, and that holds by pressure at least the central conductor of the coaxial cable arranged on the upper surface of the contact part in the terminal; and an external conductor having a storage part for storing the body part of the insulation seat and an outer lid part that is connected to an upper part of the storage part, where a connection part is bent, and that is bent by pressurizing an outer surface of the middle lid part and a dielectric part of the coaxial cable. The shoulder parts have end surfaces on the extension direction outer sides of coaxial cable side end parts in the contact part, and include: an inclined plane extending to a part lower than the upper surface of the contact part in the terminal toward a distal end; and wall surfaces erected on both sides of the inclined plane.

Description

technical field [0001] This invention relates to electrical connectors, and more particularly to electrical connectors for use in the connection of coaxial cables. Background technique [0002] In recent years, electronic devices such as mobile phones, notebook personal computers (PCs), and tablet PCs have been actively developed, but these electronic devices need to be miniaturized for transportation and the like. Therefore, various parts incorporated inside these electronic devices also have to be made small. Coaxial cables are often used to connect the antennas used in mobile phones, notebook PCs and tablet PCs, which have been widely used in communications in recent years, to various electronic circuits such as RF circuits. Electrical connectors, where cables are connected to substrates, are also required to be miniaturized. The requirement of reducing the height of the electrical connector is particularly strong. For example, it is desired to reduce the height of the ...

Problems solved by technology

[0005] However, in the coaxial connector described in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 8-17523, because the dielectric of the coaxial cable is located on the upper part of the insulator part of the coaxial connector and the diameter of the dielectric is specified by the specification, it cannot be made thinner. , it is difficult to further reduce the height
