Connector and cable keeper of connector

Abstract

A connector having a connector main body including a base and a plurality of signal terminals and a plurality of ground terminals both fixed to the base; and a cable positioning member made of conductors for positioning a plurality of cables relative to the connector main body, the cable positioning member including a plurality of securing portions at which the cable positioning member is secured to the ground terminals, and a cable holding portion including a plurality of outer conductor holding portions adapted to hold an outer conductor protruding from the end of each cable and a plurality of insulating layer holding portions adapted to hold an insulating layer protruding from the end of each cable. The cable positioning member is electrically contacted to the ground terminals at the securing portions and to the outer conductors at the outer conductor holding portions.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application is based on and claims priority from Japanese Patent Application No. 2003-72735 filed on March 17, 2003, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference. technical field [0003] The present invention relates to a connector and a cable retainer for the connector. More particularly, the present invention relates to a cable positioner for a connector used when connecting a cable to a connector body, and a connector using the cable positioner, wherein the cable positioner can be adjusted by adjusting each of a plurality of cables The spacing between them and making these spacings uniform to obtain improved electrical characteristics of the connector. Background technique [0004] figure 1 Indicates the method of connecting the outer conductors of coaxial cables to each other using ground rods. In such a structure (also known as a bundle shield structure) in which multiple outer conduc...

Problems solved by technology

The problem caused by this prior art is the required cost of the materials used and the required technology for processing and production.

[0007] Also, typically, when the outer conductors are joined together, the ground rod is held in place by soldering, but when the molten solder hardens, the outer conductor is pulled as the solder shrinks, affecting the spacing of the coaxial cables and causing the center conductor, insulation Changes in the size and positional relationship of the layer and outer conductor in cross-section with respect to the welded portion

This is problematic as the impedance changes and significantly impacts signal transmission

[0008] And, this printed circuit board 109 (such as the printed circuit board of multi-layer structure) is a part of connector and thus influences the structure of connector itself, limits the improvement to connector performance

Moreover, the large number of components involved increases the cost of such connectors
