Connector

Abstract

The invention provides a connector which can restrain the size of a product and enable impedance control to be easy, and provides a connector which can effectively restrain damages to a housing. The invention relates to the connector; in a connector housing (11), a plurality of terminals each provided with a contact surface with the corresponding object-side terminal are mutually separately mounted; the plurality of terminals (12-16) has ground terminals (15, 16) and a plurality of signal terminals (12, 13, 14) arranged side by side so as to be separated from each other in the direction of thecontact surface with the ground terminals (15, 16) interposed therebetween. The ground terminals (15, 16) are configured by conductor plates provided with plate surfaces (15a, 16a) that intersect with each other with respect to a direction in which the plurality of signal terminals (12, 13, 14) are separated from each other.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to connectors, and to connectors of quasi-coaxial configuration. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, for signal transmission such as high-frequency signals that require good signal transmission characteristics, a connector having a so-called pseudo-coaxial structure that is flat and improves transmission characteristics is used. [0003] As such a connector, it is known that a plurality of connection terminals (ground terminals and signal terminals) installed side by side are respectively provided at male and female connector housings, and by connecting the central ground terminal among the plurality of terminals It is connected to the ground potential and has a coplanar structure in which the signal terminals on both sides of the plurality of terminals are surrounded by the ground of the ground potential in the fitted state (for example, refer to Patent Document 1). [0004] In such a connector, there is an adv...

Problems solved by technology

[0008] However, in the above-mentioned general prior art connector, since the plurality of signal terminals and ground terminals are all formed by parts of the same shape in which the conductor plate is bent, and these are arranged side by side, Therefore, the degree of freedom in the design of connectors that want to expand the width or arrangement pitch of multiple terminals (wiring patterns on the mounting board side) is limited.

Therefore, in addition to the difficulty in controlling the impedance of the signal terminals, there is also a problem that the size of the product will be increased.

[0009] Moreover, in the connector of the prior art, since it becomes the configuration that a plurality of signal terminals and ground terminals of the same shape are inserted side by side with respect to the insulating resin part of the connector housing, therefore, all the terminals of the insulating resin part are The stress caused by the insertion of the plug acts in the same direction, and there is a possibility of damage such as cracking at the insulating resin part.

[0010] Furthermore, in the connectors of the prior art, although the outer peripheral sides of the male and female connector housings are respectively provided with shell-shaped fixed terminals, since the two fixed terminals are not all over the connector housing. The surrounding shape of the circumference, therefore, also has the problem that the damage such as cracking of the above-mentioned general insulating resin part cannot be effectively prevented.
