Connector

Abstract

When the size of a substrate-side connector mounted upon a substrate is reduced in order to ensure circuit wiring space upon the substrate, the spacing between one terminal group and another terminalgroup that are retained in an insulated housing within an external conductor shell of the connector becomes even narrower, and thus a technical problem can arise wherein it becomes difficult to reduceor avoid adverse electrical effects such as crosstalk occurring between the terminal groups. In order to solve this problem, the present invention provides a connector in which a housing (150) is composed separately of a first housing member (150a) for retaining a first terminal group and a second housing member (150b) for retaining a second terminal group, an accommodating section (172, 174) foraccommodating a conductive member plate (160) is provided in at least one of the surfaces (joining surfaces) joining the first and second housing members (150a, b), and the conductive plate (160) electrically separates the first terminal group and the second terminal group, thereby making it possible to suppress the occurrence of crosstalk and reduce or avoid adverse electrical effects on high frequency characteristics.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to connectors suitable for high-speed transmission of electrical signals. More specifically, it relates to a structure inside an insulating housing capable of preventing crosstalk that may occur between terminals due to mutual capacitance or induction when a plurality of terminals included in the connector are closely arranged. Background technique [0002] Connectors used in the transmission of electrical signals, etc. generally have an insulating shell that holds one terminal group and the other terminal set face to face, and an outer conductor shell that accommodates the shell. In such a connector, in order to reduce or avoid A plate-shaped conductive member is provided between one terminal group and the other terminal group due to electrical adverse effects such as crosstalk caused by mutual connection of a plurality of terminals due to capacitance or induction between the terminals. [0003] For example, the connecto...

Problems solved by technology

[0006] However, in order to secure the circuit wiring space on the board, etc., in the case of downsizing the board-side connector mounted on the board, the distance between one terminal group and the other terminal group of the insulating case is maintained. becomes narrower, so it is difficult to reduce or avoid electrical negative effects such as crosstalk generated between the above-mentioned terminal groups

For example, in the connector described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2015-179591 (Patent Document 1), a plate-shaped conductive member (grounding member) is used to shield the space between one terminal group and the other terminal group. The opposite front-end side parts and the opposite rear-end side parts are not fully electrically shielded, and the generation of crosstalk and other electrical negative effects cannot be fully prevented.
