[0034] Although the electrical connector device described in Patent Document 1 has a shielding structure capable of obtaining a noise shielding effect, its connector design cannot sufficiently obtain good transmission characteristics for high-frequency signals.

[0035] According to the connector and the electronic device of one embodiment of the present disclosure, good transmission characteristics for high-frequency signals can be obtained.

[0036] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The front and rear, left and right, and up and down directions in the following description are based on the directions of the arrows in the drawings. Figure 1 , Figure 2 ,as well as Figures 8 to 17 In the drawings, the directions of the arrows are consistent with each other in different drawings. Figures 3 to 7 In the drawings, the directions of the arrows are consistent with each other between different drawings. In the drawings, for the convenience of illustration, the circuit boards CB1 and CB2 described later are omitted.

[0037] Figure 1 The external perspective view of the connector 1 according to one embodiment is shown in a plan view showing a state in which the first connector 10 and the second connector 50 are connected to each other. Figure 2This is a perspective view of the appearance of the connector 1 according to one embodiment, showing a state in which the first connector 10 and the second connector 50 are separated from each other, as seen from above.

[0038] For example Figure 2 As shown, the connector 1 includes a first connector 10 and a second connector 50 that can be connected to each other. The first connector 10 includes a first insulator 20 and a first contact 30a, and the first contact 30a is mounted on the first insulator 20 and has a first contact portion 34a described later. The first connector 10 includes a signal contact 30b mounted on the first insulator 20 and a first shielding member 40.

[0039] The second connector 50 includes a second insulator 60 that can be mated with the first insulator 20. The second connector 50 includes a second contact 70a mounted on the second insulator 60, and the second contact 70a includes a second contact portion 74a described later, and the second contact portion 74a contacts the first contact portion 34a in a mating state where the first insulator 20 and the second insulator 60 are mated. The second connector 50 includes a signal contact 70b mounted on the second insulator 60 and a second shielding member 80.

[0040] As described above, the shield member included in the connector 1 is mounted on the first insulator 20 and the second insulator 60. More specifically, the shield member includes the first shield member 40 mounted on the first insulator 20 and the second shield member 80 mounted on the second insulator 60.

[0041] In the following, for example, the second connector 50 of one embodiment is described as a socket connector. The first connector 10 is described as a plug connector. The second connector 50 in which the second contact 70a and the signal contact 70b are elastically deformed in the mating state where the first insulator 20 and the second insulator 60 are mated with each other is described as a socket connector. The first connector 10 in which the first contact 30a and the signal contact 30b are not elastically deformed is described as a plug connector. The types of the first connector 10 and the second connector 50 are not limited to these. For example, the second connector 50 may function as a plug connector, while the first connector 10 may function as a socket connector.

[0042] In the following, the first connector 10 and the second connector 50 are respectively mounted on the circuit boards CB1 and CB2. The first connector 10 and the second connector 50 are connected to each other, and the circuit boards CB1 and CB2 are electrically connected. The circuit boards CB1 and CB2 can be either rigid substrates or any other circuit boards. For example, at least one of the circuit boards CB1 and CB2 can also be a flexible printed circuit board.

[0043] In the following, the first connector 10 and the second connector 50 are connected to each other in a direction perpendicular to the circuit boards CB1 and CB2. As an example, the first connector 10 and the second connector 50 are connected to each other in the up-down direction. The connection method is not limited to this. The first connector 10 and the second connector 50 may also be connected to each other in a direction parallel to the circuit boards CB1 and CB2. The first connector 10 and the second connector 50 may also be connected to each other in a manner that one is perpendicular to the installed circuit board and the other is parallel to the installed circuit board.

[0044] In this specification, the "mating direction" described in the claims corresponds to the up-down direction as an example. Similarly, the "first direction orthogonal to the mating direction" corresponds to the front-back direction as an example. The "short side direction of the connector 1" corresponds to the front-back direction as an example. The "second direction orthogonal to the first direction and the mating direction" corresponds to the left-right direction as an example. The "long side direction of the connector 1" corresponds to the left-right direction as an example.

[0045] A connector 1 according to one embodiment has two pairs of first contacts 30a and second contacts 70a, which are in contact with each other when the first connector 10 and the second connector 50 are connected. The connector 1 has a shielding structure, which shields the pair of first contacts 30a and second contacts 70a in contact with each other when the first insulator 20 and the second insulator 60 are in a mated state.

[0046] Figure 3 It is shown from a bird's-eye view Figure 1 A perspective view of the appearance of a single piece of the first connector 10. Figure 4 It is expressed from an upward perspective Figure 1 In one example, the first connector 10 is obtained by integrally molding the first contacts 30a, the signal contacts 30b, the first shield member 40, and the first insulator 20 by insert molding.

[0047] The first insulator 20 constituting the first connector 10 is formed of a synthetic resin material having insulating properties and heat resistance. The first insulator 20 extends in a plate-like shape in the left-right direction. The first insulator 20 has a lower bottom plate portion 21, and an annular peripheral wall 22 extending upward from the outer peripheral edge portion of the upper surface of the bottom plate portion 21 as a whole. The peripheral wall 22 includes a pair of short walls 22a extending in the front-to-back direction, and a pair of long walls 22b extending in the left-to-right direction. The first insulator 20 has a fitting recess 23 formed by a space formed by the bottom plate portion 21 and the peripheral wall 22.

[0048] The first insulator 20 has a first contact holding groove 24a formed from the outer surface of the short wall 22a in the left-right direction of the outer peripheral wall 22 to the inside of the short wall 22a. The first contact holding groove 24a integrally holds the first contact 30a. The first insulator 20 has a signal contact holding groove 24b formed on the outer surface and inner surface of the long wall 22b in the front-back direction of the outer peripheral wall 22. The signal contact holding groove 24b integrally holds the signal contact 30b.

[0049] The first insulator 20 has a first shield member holding groove 25 formed on the left-right outer and inner surfaces and the front-back outer surface of the short wall 22a of the outer peripheral wall 22. The first shield member holding groove 25 integrally holds the first shield member 40.

[0050] Figure 5 The first insulator 20 is not shown, and the Figure 3 A perspective view of the first connector 10. Figure 6 This is a bird's-eye view. Figure 5 1 is a perspective view of a pair of first shielding members 40. Figure 7 This is a bird's-eye view. Figure 5 A perspective view of a pair of first contacts 30a. Figures 5 to 7 , the structures of the first contact 30a, the signal contact 30b, and the first shielding member 40 are described in detail.

[0051] The first contact 30a is formed into a thin plate of a copper alloy or a Corson-based copper alloy including phosphor bronze, beryllium copper, or titanium copper by using a progressive die (pressing). Figure 5 and Figure 7 The surface of the first contact 30a is plated with nickel to form a base, and then plated with gold or tin.

[0052] The first contact 30a has a mounting portion 31a extending outward in an L shape. The first contact 30a has a connecting portion 32a formed in an inverted tapered shape from the upper end of the mounting portion 31a toward the upper side. The first contact 30a has a bent portion 33a extending upward in a U shape from the connecting portion 32a. The first contact 30a has a first contact portion 34a, and the first contact portion 34a is configured to include an outer surface in the left-right direction on the free end side of the bent portion 33a.

[0053] Also like Figure 3As shown in FIG. 1 , the first contact 30a is held in the first contact holding groove 24a by integrating the entire portion other than the mounting portion 31a with the first contact holding groove 24a. The first contact 30a is arranged along the short side direction of the connector 1. When the first contact 30a is held in the first contact holding groove 24a of the first insulator 20, the distal end of the mounting portion 31a of the first contact 30a is located at a position further outward than the short wall 22a.

[0054] The signal contact 30b is formed into a thin plate of a copper alloy or a Corson-based copper alloy including phosphor bronze, beryllium copper, or titanium copper by, for example, using a progressive die (stamping). Figure 5 The surface of the signal contact 30b is plated with nickel to form a base, and then plated with gold or tin.

[0055] The signal contact 30b has a mounting portion 31b extending outward in an L shape. The signal contact 30b has a contact portion 32b extending upward from the upper end of the mounting portion 31b. The contact portion 32b has a contact surface composed of an inner surface in the front-to-back direction. The contact portion 32b is formed to be wider than the mounting portion 31b in the left-right direction. The signal contact 30b has a bent portion 33b extending outward in a U shape from the contact portion 32b. The signal contact 30b has a contact portion 34b, and the contact portion 34b is configured to include an outer surface in the front-to-back direction on the free end side of the bent portion 33b. The signal contact 30b has a protrusion 35b formed on the upper part of the contact surface of the contact portion 32b.

[0056] The free end of the bent portion 33b is formed at the same height as the contact portion 32b. Figure 3 As shown in FIG. 1 , the entire inner surface of the signal contact 30b except the mounting portion 31b is in surface contact with the signal contact holding groove 24b, and is integrally held relative to the signal contact holding groove 24b. When the signal contact 30b is held by the signal contact holding groove 24b of the first insulator 20, the distal end of the mounting portion 31b of the signal contact 30b is located outside the long wall 22b.

[0057] The first shielding member 40 is formed by processing a thin plate of any metal material into a shape such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 The first shielding member 40 is integrally held in the first shielding member holding groove 25 of the first insulator 20 and is disposed on both left and right sides of the first insulator 20.

[0058] The first shielding member 40 has a first base portion 41 constituting a lower end portion thereof. The first shielding member 40 has a first extension portion 42 extending in an L-shape from the first base portion 41 in the vertical direction and arranged on both sides in the front-rear direction of the first base portion 41. The first shielding member 40 has a second extension portion 43 extending in a U-shape in the vertical direction from a pair of edges of the first base portion 41 in the left-right direction.

[0059] The first shielding member 40 has a connecting portion 44 at the inner end in the left-right direction, which connects the first base 41 on both the front and rear sides. The first shielding member 40 has a first shielding portion 45, which extends in an L-shape from the connecting portion 44 in the vertical direction and extends entirely along the width of the connecting portion 44 in the front-rear direction. Figure 4 As shown, the first shielding member 40 has mounting portions 46 formed by the lower surfaces of the first base 41 on the front and rear sides. The mounting portions 46 disposed on the front and rear sides of one first shielding member 40 are mounted in a separated state, for example, with respect to a pair of ground patterns separated from each other on the mounting surface of the circuit board CB1.

[0060] In the first connector 10 of the above structure, the mounting portion 31a of the first contact 30a is welded to the circuit pattern formed on the mounting surface of the circuit board CB1. The mounting portion 31b of the signal contact 30b is welded to the circuit pattern formed on the mounting surface. The mounting portion 46 of the first shielding member 40 is welded to the ground pattern formed on the mounting surface. In the above manner, the first connector 10 is mounted on the circuit board CB1. The mounting surface of the circuit board CB1 is mounted with electronic components such as a communication module that are different from the first connector 10.

[0061] Main reference Figures 8 to 13 The structure of the second connector 50 will be described.

The signal contacts 70b are pressed into the second insulator 60 from below. The second shielding member 80 is pressed into the second insulator 60 from above and below.

[0064] like Fig.10As shown, the second insulator 60 is a plate-shaped member extending in the left-right direction by injection molding of an insulating and heat-resistant synthetic resin material. The second insulator 60 has a bottom plate portion 61 constituting a lower portion, and an annular outer peripheral wall 62 that surrounds the entire outer peripheral edge portion of the bottom plate portion 61 from the outside and extends upward. The outer peripheral wall 62 includes a pair of short walls 62a extending in the front-to-back direction and a pair of long walls 62b extending in the left-to-right direction. The second insulator 60 has a fitting protrusion 63 extending upward from the central portion of the bottom plate portion 61.

[0065] The second insulator 60 has a second contact holding groove 64a formed in the center of the short wall 62a of the peripheral wall 62 in the front-back direction. The second contact holding groove 64a holds the pressed second contact 70a. The second insulator 60 has a signal contact holding groove 64b formed in the inner surface of the long wall 62b of the peripheral wall 62 in the front-back direction and the outer surface of the fitting protrusion 63 in the front-back direction. The signal contact holding groove 64b holds the pressed signal contact 70b.

[0066] The second insulator 60 has a second shield member holding groove 65 formed in the left-right outer surface, the front-back outer surface and the interior of the short wall 62a of the outer peripheral wall 62. The second shield member holding groove 65 holds the pressed second shield member 80.

[0067] Fig.11 The second insulator 60 is not shown in the top view. Figure 8 A perspective view of the second connector 50. Fig.12 This is a bird's-eye view. Fig.11 FIG. 8 is a perspective view of the second shielding member 80. Fig.13 This is a bird's-eye view. Fig.11 A perspective view of a pair of second contacts 70a. Figures 11 to 13 , the structures of the second contact 70a, the signal contact 70b, and the second shielding member 80 are described in detail.

[0068] The second contact 70a is formed into a thin plate of a copper alloy or a Corson-based copper alloy having spring elasticity, such as phosphor bronze, beryllium copper, or titanium copper, by using a progressive die (pressing). Fig.11 as well as Fig.13 The surface of the second contact 70a is plated with nickel to form a base, and then plated with gold or tin.

[0069] The second contact 70a has a mounting portion 71a extending outward in an L shape. The second contact 70a has a stopper portion 72a formed continuously from the upper end of the mounting portion 71a and formed above. The stopper portion 72a is formed to be wider than the mounting portion 71a and the bent portion 73a described later in the front-back direction. The second contact 70a has a bent portion 73a extending upward in a U shape from the stopper portion 72a. The second contact 70a has a second contact portion 74a, and the second contact portion 74a is configured to include an inner surface in the left-right direction on the free end side of the bent portion 73a. The second contact portion 74a has spring elasticity so as to be elastically deformable in the left-right direction.

[0070] Also like Fig.10 As shown in FIG. 1 , the second contact 70a is locked in the second contact holding groove 64a by the locking portion 72a and is held in the second contact holding groove 64a. The second contact 70a is arranged along the short side direction of the connector 1. When the second contact 70a is held in the second contact holding groove 64a of the second insulator 60, the distal end of the mounting portion 71a of the second contact 70a is located at a position inside the outermost end of the short wall 62a in the left-right direction.

[0071] The signal contact 70b is formed into a thin plate of a copper alloy or a Corson-based copper alloy having spring elasticity, such as phosphor bronze, beryllium copper, or titanium copper, by using a progressive die (stamping).

The signal contact 70b has a pair of stopper portions 72b, and the stopper portion 72b includes: a portion that is continuous from the upper end of the mounting portion 71b and formed above, and a portion that is separated from and opposite to the portion in the front-to-back direction. The stopper portion 72b is formed to be wider than the mounting portion 71b and the bent portion 73b described later in the left-right direction. The signal contact 70b has a bent portion 73b, an S-shaped elastic contact portion 74b, and a contact portion 75b, wherein the bent portion 73b connects a pair of stopper portions 72b, the elastic contact portion 74b is continuous to the stopper portion 72b formed on the inner side, and the contact portion 75b is formed toward the outside at the distal end of the elastic contact portion 74b.

Figure 8As shown in FIG. 1 , the signal contact 70b is retained in the signal contact retaining groove 64b by the retaining portion 72b being retained in the signal contact retaining groove 64b. When the signal contact 70b is retained in the signal contact retaining groove 64b of the second insulator 60, the elastic contact portion 74b is elastically deformable in the front-to-back direction in the signal contact retaining groove 64b formed in the fitting protrusion 63. When the signal contact 70b is retained in the signal contact retaining groove 64b of the second insulator 60, the distal end of the mounting portion 71b of the signal contact 70b is located at a position further inside than the outermost end of the long wall 62b in the front-to-back direction.

[0074] The second shielding member 80 is formed by processing a thin plate of any metal material into a shape such as Figures 10 to 12 The second shield member 80 is formed by punching and then bending the second shield member 80 in the thickness direction. The second shield member 80 is held by the second insulator 60 by being pressed into the second shield member holding groove 65 of the second insulator 60 .

[0075] The second shielding member 80 includes, for example, three parts. More specifically, the second shielding member 80 includes a first part 80a, which is mounted on the second insulator 60 from above in a manner that surrounds the outer peripheral wall 62 from all sides. The second shielding member 80 includes a pair of second parts 80b, which are mounted on the second insulator 60 from below in a manner that is arranged on both left and right sides of the second insulator 60.

[0078] like Fig. 9As shown in FIG. 1 , the second component 80b has a first mounting portion 86b, which is arranged on the inner side of the second contact 70a in the left-right direction and mounted on the circuit board CB2. The first mounting portion 86b is formed in an L-shape on the side of the second base 81b opposite to the second contact 70a in the left-right direction. The first mounting portion 86b is formed at the inner end of the second component 80b in the left-right direction. A pair of first mounting portions 86b are respectively arranged on the front and rear sides of the second base 81b of one second component 80b. The first mounting portions 86b are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the second contact 70a in the front-back direction. For example, the pair of first mounting portions 86b are respectively mounted on a pair of circuit patterns separated from each other on the mounting surface of the circuit board CB2 in a separated state.

[0079] Also like Fig. 9 As shown, the second component 80b has a second mounting portion 87b, and the second mounting portion 87b is composed of the lower surfaces of the front and rear sides of the outer end portion in the left-right direction of the second base 81b, and the lower surfaces of the locking portions 84b on the front and rear sides. In one second component 80b, the second mounting portion 87b arranged on the front side and the second mounting portion 87b arranged on the rear side are respectively mounted on a pair of circuit patterns separated from each other on the mounting surface of the circuit board CB2 in a separated state.

The contact portion 85b extends from the outer end of the first mounting portion 86b in the front-rear direction. More specifically, the contact portion 85b has spring elasticity and extends from the first mounting portion 86b in an S-shape. Fig.11 As shown, the contact portion 85b extends between the first mounting portion 86b and the second contact 70a in the left-right direction. The left-right width of the contact portion 85b is greater than or equal to the left-right mounting width of the first mounting portion 86b. The contact portions 85b are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the second contact 70a in the front-rear direction.

[0081] Also like Fig.10 As shown, the second component 80b is retained in the second shielding component retaining groove 65 by the locking portions 84b and the second shielding portion 82b being locked in the second shielding component retaining groove 65. More specifically, the pair of locking portions 84b are locked in grooves formed inside the front and rear sides of the short wall 62a in the second shielding component retaining groove 65. The second shielding portion 82b is locked in grooves formed on the outer surface of the short wall 62a in the left and right directions in the second shielding component retaining groove 65.

[0082] The first component 80a has a third base portion 81a constituting the upper end thereof. The first component 80a has a fourth shielding portion 82a having a predetermined width at the outer periphery in the front-to-back direction and extending in the left-to-right direction. The first component 80a has a fifth shielding portion 83a disposed at a position further outward than the second shielding portion 82b in the left-to-right direction. The fifth shielding portion 83a is disposed to be wider than the second shielding portion 82b in the front-to-back direction and to overlap the entirety of the second shielding portion 82b in the front-to-back direction. Figure 8 As shown, the first member 80a includes an outer shield portion 84a disposed in the left-right direction outside the long wall 62b of the second insulator 60. The outer shield portion 84a extends in the left-right direction to connect the fourth shield portions 82a located on both left and right sides.

[0083] like Fig.11 As shown in FIG. 1 , the first component 80a has a contact portion 85a, which extends from the third base portion 81a in the up-down direction and is arranged on both sides of the second contact 70a in the front-back direction. The contact portion 85a has spring elasticity so as to be elastically deformable in the left-right direction. The first component 80a has a locking portion 86a formed at both ends in the left-right direction of the outer peripheral portion in the front-back direction.

[0084] The first component 80a has a first mounting portion 87a, which extends linearly downward from the lower ends of the front and rear sides of the fifth shielding portion 83a. The first component 80a has a second mounting portion 88a, which extends linearly downward from the lower end of the locking portion 86a. The first component 80a has a third mounting portion 89a, which extends linearly downward from the left and right ends of the outer peripheral shielding portion 84a. For example, the first mounting portion 87a on the front side in the left direction and the second mounting portion 88a on the left side in the front direction, which are adjacent to each other, are mounted on the same ground pattern on the mounting surface of the circuit board CB2. For example, the first mounting portion 87a on the rear side in the left direction and the second mounting portion 88a on the left side in the rear direction, which are adjacent to each other, are mounted on the same ground pattern on the mounting surface of the circuit board CB2. The right side of the first component 80a is constructed in the same manner. For example, the four third mounting portions 89 a are mounted in a separated state on four ground patterns separated from each other on the mounting surface of the circuit board CB2 .

[0085] Also like Fig.10 As shown, the first member 80 a is locked in the second shield member holding groove 65 by the locking portion 86 a , and is held in the second shield member holding groove 65 .

[0086] In the second connector 50 of the above structure, the mounting portion 71a of the second contact 70a is welded to the circuit pattern formed on the mounting surface of the circuit board CB2. The mounting portion 71b of the signal contact 70b is welded to the circuit pattern formed on the mounting surface. The first mounting portion 87a, the second mounting portion 88a, and the third mounting portion 89a of the first component 80a of the second shielding component 80, and the first mounting portion 86b and the second mounting portion 87b of the second component 80b are welded to the ground pattern formed on the mounting surface. For example, the first mounting portion 87a on the front side in the left direction of the first component 80a, the second mounting portion 88a on the left side in the front direction, and the second mounting portion 87b on the front side of the second component 80b arranged on the left side are welded to the same ground pattern. The rear side of the second component 80b arranged on the left side and the second component 80b arranged on the right side are also the same. As a result, the two first components 80a and the second component 80b can be electrically regarded as one shielding component. In the above manner, the second connector 50 is mounted on the circuit board CB2. Electronic components other than the second connector 50, such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit), a controller, or a memory, are mounted on the mounting surface of the circuit board CB2.

[0087] Fig.14 The first insulator 20 and the second insulator 60 are not shown, and the Figure 1 A perspective view of the connector 1 . Fig.15 is along Fig.14 The cross-sectional view along the arrow line XV-XV. Fig.14 and Fig.15 , the structure of the connector 1 in the mating state where the first connector 10 and the second connector 50 are connected and the first insulator 20 and the second insulator 60 are mated will be mainly described.

[0088] For example, in using Figure 3 In the state where the first connector 10 shown in the figure is oriented in the opposite direction in the vertical direction, the front-back position and the left-right position of the first connector 10 and the second connector 50 are roughly consistent, and they are opposed to each other in the vertical direction. The first connector 10 is moved downward. As a result, the first connector 10 and the second connector 50 are connected to each other, and the mating state of the connector 1 is achieved. At this time, the mating concave portion 23 of the first insulator 20 and the mating convex portion 63 of the second insulator 60 are mated with each other.

[0089] In the mating state of the connector 1, the first contact portion 34a of the first contact 30a and the second contact portion 74a of the second contact 70a are in contact, and the second contact portion 74a having spring elasticity is elastically deformed outward in the left-right direction. The first contact 30a and the second contact 70a are in contact at only one point through the first contact portion 34a and the second contact portion 74a.

[0090] In the mating state of the connector 1, the protrusion 35b of the signal contact 30b moves downward and passes over the contact portion 75b of the signal contact 70b, and the contact portion 32b of the signal contact 30b contacts the contact portion 75b of the signal contact 70b. At this time, the elastic contact portion 74b having spring elasticity is elastically deformed toward the inner side in the front-back direction. Similarly, the contact portion 34b of the signal contact 30b and the contact portion 76b of the signal contact 70b contact each other. The signal contact 30b and the signal contact 70b contact at two locations through the contact portion 32b and the contact portion 75b and through the contact portion 34b and the contact portion 76b.

[0091] In the mating state of the connector 1, the first extension portion 42 of the first shield member 40 and the contact portion 85a of the first member 80a of the second shield member 80 are in contact with each other. The first extension portion 42 of the first shield member 40 extends from the first base portion 41 in the up-down direction and is arranged on both sides of the contact portion between the first contact 30a and the second contact 70a in the front-back direction. More specifically, the first extension portion 42 of the first shield member 40 is arranged to be adjacent to the first contact portion 34a and the second contact portion 74a that are in contact with each other on both sides in the front-back direction. Similarly, the contact portion 85a of the first member 80a extends from the third base portion 81a arranged on the same side as the first base portion 41 in the up-down direction and is arranged on both sides of the contact portion between the first contact 30a and the second contact 70a in the front-back direction. More specifically, the contact portion 85a of the first member 80a is arranged adjacent to the first contact portion 34a and the second contact portion 74a that are in contact with each other on both sides in the front-rear direction.

[0092] As described above, in the mating state, the first shielding member 40 and the first member 80a are adjacent to the first contact portion 34a and the second contact portion 74a that are in contact with each other, and are in contact at two locations through the two pairs of first extension portions 42 and the contact portion 85a that sandwich the first contact portion 34a and the second contact portion 74a in the front-to-back direction. The two pairs of first extension portions 42 and the contact portion 85a are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the contact portion between the first contact point 30a and the second contact point 70a in the front-to-back direction.

[0093] In the mating state of the connector 1, the second extension portion 43 of the first shielding member 40 and the contact portion 85b of the second member 80b of the second shielding member 80 are in contact with each other. The second extension portion 43 of the first shielding member 40 extends from the first base portion 41 in the up-down direction and is arranged on both sides of the contact portion between the first contact 30a and the second contact 70a in the front-back direction. More specifically, the second extension portion 43 of the first shielding member 40 is arranged to be close to the first contact portion 34a and the second contact portion 74a in contact with each other on both sides in the front-back direction. Similarly, the contact portion 85b of the second member 80b extends from the second base portion 81b arranged on the side opposite to the first base portion 41 in the up-down direction in the up-down direction and is arranged on both sides of the contact portion between the first contact 30a and the second contact 70a in the front-back direction. More specifically, the contact portion 85b of the second member 80b is arranged close to the first contact portion 34a and the second contact portion 74a that are in contact with each other on both sides in the front-rear direction.

[0094] As described above, in the mating state, the first shielding member 40 and the second member 80b are close to the first contact portion 34a and the second contact portion 74a that are in contact with each other, and are in contact at two locations through the two pairs of second extension portions 43 and the contact portion 85b that sandwich the first contact portion 34a and the second contact portion 74a in the front-to-back direction. The two pairs of second extension portions 43 and the contact portion 85b are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the contact portion between the first contact point 30a and the second contact point 70a in the front-to-back direction.

[0095] As described above, in the fitted state, the first shield member 40 and the second shield member 80 are in contact at four locations adjacent to or close to the first contact portions 34 a and the second contact portions 74 a that are in contact with each other.

[0096] In the mating state of the connector 1, the first shielding portion 45 of the first shielding member 40 is arranged on the inner side relative to the first contacting portion 34a and the second contacting portion 74a which are in contact with each other in the left-right direction. The second shielding portion 82b of the second member 80b of the second shielding member 80 is arranged on the outer side relative to the first contacting portion 34a and the second contacting portion 74a which are in contact with each other in the left-right direction. As described above, the first contacting portion 34a and the second contacting portion 74a which are in contact with each other are shielded from both sides in the left-right direction by the first shielding portion 45 and the second shielding portion 82b.

[0097] In the mating state of the connector 1, the third shielding portion 83b of the second component 80b of the second shielding component 80 is arranged on the side opposite to the mating side in the up-down direction with respect to the first contacting portion 34a and the second contacting portion 74a that are in contact with each other. In this way, the first contacting portion 34a and the second contacting portion 74a that are in contact with each other are shielded by the third shielding portion 83b from the side opposite to the mating side.

[0098] In the mating state of the connector 1, the fourth shielding portion 82a of the first component 80a of the second shielding component 80 is arranged on both sides of the first contacting portion 34a and the second contacting portion 74a in the front-to-back direction. In this way, the first contacting portion 34a and the second contacting portion 74a in contact with each other are shielded from both sides in the front-to-back direction by the fourth shielding portion 82a.

[0099] In the mating state of the connector 1, the fifth shielding portion 83a of the first component 80a of the second shielding component 80 is arranged on the outer side than the second shielding portion 82b in the left-right direction. In this way, the first contacting portion 34a and the second contacting portion 74a that are in contact with each other are shielded on the outer side in the left-right direction by the double structure of the second shielding portion 82b and the fifth shielding portion 83a.

[0100] According to the connector 1 of one embodiment described above, good transmission characteristics for high-frequency signals can be obtained. For example, the first extension portion 42 of the first shielding member 40 extends from the first base portion 41 in the up-down direction and is arranged on both sides of the contact portion of the first contact 30a and the second contact 70a in the front-back direction. Therefore, a good return path can be formed by being adjacent to the contact portion of the first contact 30a and the second contact 70a on both sides in the front-back direction. As a result, the signal passing through the return path flows easily, and the transmission characteristics for high-frequency signals can be improved. If the flow of the return path is uneven on the left and right, the magnetic field of the current returning as the return path will be chaotic and noise will be easily generated, but according to the connector 1 of one embodiment, the generation of such noise can be suppressed. Therefore, the deterioration of EMI (Electro Magnetic Interference) characteristics can be suppressed.

[0101] The shielding member includes a first shielding member 40 mounted on the first insulator 20 and a second shielding member 80 mounted on the second insulator 60, and a first base portion 41 and a first extension portion 42 are formed on the first shielding member 40. Thus, compared with the case where the shielding member is formed integrally, for example, the workability when connecting the first connector 10 and the second connector 50 can be improved. Since the first base portion 41 and the first extension portion 42 are formed integrally on the first shielding member 40, the conductivity is improved and the noise shielding effect is improved.

[0102] The second extension portion 43 of the first shielding member 40 and the contact portion 85b of the second shielding member 80 are in contact with each other on both sides of the front-to-back direction relative to the contact portion of the first contact 30a and the second contact 70a. As a result, the contact portion is close to both sides of the front-to-back direction and a good return path can be formed. As a result, the signal passing through the return path flows easily, and the transmission characteristics for high-frequency signals can be improved. If the flow of the return path is uneven on the left and right, the magnetic field of the current returning as the return path will be chaotic and noise will be easily generated, but according to a connector 1 of an embodiment, the generation of such noise can be suppressed. Therefore, the deterioration of EMI characteristics can be suppressed.

[0103] By symmetrically disposing the two pairs of second extensions 43 and contact portions 85b on both sides of the contact portion between the first contact 30a and the second contact 70a in the front-rear direction, a return path can be symmetrically formed. Thus, the signal passing through the return path flows more easily, further improving the transmission characteristics of high-frequency signals.

[0104] The first extension portion 42 of the first shielding member 40 and the contact portion 85a of the second shielding member 80 contact each other on both sides of the front-back direction with respect to the contact portion of the first contact point 30a and the second contact point 70a. Thus, the contact portions are adjacent to each other on both sides of the front-back direction and a return path is formed. Thus, the signal passing through the return path flows easily, and the transmission characteristics of the high-frequency signal can be improved.

[0105] By symmetrically disposing the two pairs of first extensions 42 and contact portions 85a on both sides of the contact portion between the first contact 30a and the second contact 70a in the front-rear direction, a return path can be symmetrically formed. Thus, the signal passing through the return path flows more easily, further improving the transmission characteristics of high-frequency signals.

[0106] The two pairs of first extensions 42 and contact portions 85a, and the two pairs of second extensions 43 and contact portions 85b are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the contact portion between the first contact point 30a and the second contact point 70a in the front-to-back direction. Thus, a return path is formed symmetrically in four directions. Thus, the signal passing through the return path flows more easily, and the transmission characteristics of high-frequency signals are further improved. Since the first contact point 30a and the second contact point 70a are surrounded in two dimensions in the front-to-back direction and the left-to-right direction, the noise shielding effect can be improved.

[0107] By configuring the second contact 70a along the short side direction of the connector 1, the width of the connector 1 in the long side direction can be reduced. Therefore, the connector 1 can be miniaturized in the long side direction. For example, in recent communication terminals that can achieve high-speed transmission, the positions and directions of the antennas are increased due to the directivity of the communication radio waves. Therefore, in order to save space, it is required that the connector built into the communication terminal be miniaturized. The connector 1 according to one embodiment can also meet this requirement. Since the signal contact 30b and the signal contact 70b can be separated far apart in the connector 1, they can be shielded using independent shielding components. At this time, since sufficient space required for designing the shielding component can be ensured, shielding can be performed from multiple directions.

[0108] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present disclosure can be implemented in other specific ways than the above-described embodiments without departing from its spirit or its essential features. Therefore, the foregoing description is exemplary and not limited thereto. The scope of the disclosure is defined not by the foregoing description but by the appended claims. All modifications within the scope of their equivalents are included therein.

[0109] For example, the shape, arrangement, direction and number of the above-mentioned components are not limited to those described above and shown in the drawings. The shape, arrangement, direction and number of the above-mentioned components can be arbitrarily configured as long as the functions thereof can be achieved.

[0110] The assembly method of the first connector 10 and the second connector 50 is not limited to the above-described contents. As long as the first connector 10 and the second connector 50 can be assembled in a manner that allows them to perform their respective functions, the assembly method may be any method. For example, in the first connector 10, at least one of the first contact 30a, the signal contact 30b, and the first shielding member 40 may be mounted to the first insulator 20 by press-fitting rather than insert molding. For example, in the second connector 50, at least one of the second contact 70a, the signal contact 70b, and the second shielding member 80 may be integrally molded with the second insulator 60 by insert molding rather than press-fitting.

[0111] In the above embodiment, the shielding member includes the first shielding member 40 and the second shielding member 80, but the structure of the shielding member is not limited thereto. For example, the shielding member may be integrally formed and attached to at least one of the first insulator 20 and the second insulator 60 in the fitted state.

[0112] In the above embodiment, the first shielding portion 45 is formed in the first shielding member 40, and the second shielding portion 82b and the third shielding portion 83b are formed in the second shielding member 80, but the present invention is not limited thereto. In addition to the first shielding portion 45, the second shielding portion 82b, and the third shielding portion 83b, the shielding portions including the fourth shielding portion 82a, the fifth shielding portion 83a, and the outer peripheral shielding portion 84a may be formed in either the first shielding member 40 or the second shielding member 80. For example, all the shielding portions may be formed only in the second shielding member 80. Each shielding portion may be formed in a state of being divided in both the first shielding member 40 and the second shielding member 80.

[0113] In the above embodiment, for example, Fig.15 For example, the third shielding portion 83b may be arranged at a position offset in the left-right direction relative to the first contacting portion 34a and the second contacting portion 74a that are in contact with each other.

[0114] In the above embodiment, the second shielding member 80 is described as having the fourth shielding portion 82a disposed on both sides of the first contact portion 34a and the second contact portion 74a that are in contact with each other, but the present invention is not limited thereto. As long as a good noise shielding effect can be obtained, the second shielding member 80 may have the fourth shielding portion 82a only on one side, or may not have the fourth shielding portion 82a.

[0115] Fig.16 The first insulator 20 and the second insulator 60 are not shown, and the Figure 1 A modification of the connector 1, and Fig.14 The corresponding stereogram. Fig.17 is along Fig.16 The cross-sectional view along the arrow line XVII-XVII. Fig.16 as well as Fig.17 In the illustrated modification of the connector 1 , the second shielding member 80 does not include the first member 80 a , but includes only the second member 80 b .

[0116] In the above embodiment, the second shielding member 80 is described as having the fifth shielding portion 83a, but the present invention is not limited thereto. Fig.16 as well as Fig.17 As shown, the second shielding member 80 may not include the fifth shielding portion 83a as long as a good noise shielding effect can be obtained.

[0117] In the above embodiment, the second shielding member 80 is described as having the outer peripheral shielding portion 84a, but the present invention is not limited thereto. Fig.16 as well as Fig.17 As shown, the second shield member 80 may not have the outer peripheral shield portion 84a as long as a good noise shielding effect can be obtained.

[0118] In the above embodiment, the shielding member is described as having the first shielding portion 45, the second shielding portion 82b, the third shielding portion 83b, the fourth shielding portion 82a, and the fifth shielding portion 83a, but the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, in addition to the first shielding portion 45 to the fifth shielding portion 83a, the shielding member may further include a sixth shielding portion disposed on the side opposite to the third shielding portion 83b in the vertical direction with respect to the first contacting portion 34a and the second contacting portion 74a that are in contact with each other. For example, the sixth shielding portion may be formed in any one of the first shielding member 40 and the second shielding member 80. Thus, the sixth shielding portion shields the first contacting portion 34a and the second contacting portion 74a that are in contact with each other from the upper side. Therefore, since the first shielding portion 45 to the fifth shielding portion 83a and the sixth shielding portion shield the first contacting portion 34a and the second contacting portion 74a that are in contact with each other from six directions, namely, front, back, left, right, and top, the noise shielding effect is further improved.

[0119] In the above embodiment, the first extension portion 42 of the first shield member 40 and the contact portion 85a of the second shield member 80 are described as being in contact with each other on both sides of the contact portion between the first contact point 30a and the second contact point 70a in the front-rear direction, but the present invention is not limited thereto. Fig.16 As shown, as long as good transmission characteristics can be obtained, the second shield member 80 may not have the contact portion 85a, and only the first extension portion 42 of the first shield member 40 may be arranged on both sides of the contact portion between the first contact 30a and the second contact 70a.

[0120] In the above embodiment, the first base portion 41 and the first extension portion 42 are formed in the first shielding member 40, but the present invention is not limited thereto. Each component including the first base portion 41 and the first extension portion 42 may be formed in either the first shielding member 40 or the second shielding member 80. Each component may be formed in a state of being divided in both the first shielding member 40 and the second shielding member 80.

[0121] In the above embodiment, the two pairs of second extension portions 43 and the contact portions 85b are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the contact portion between the first contact 30a and the second contact 70a in the front-rear direction, but the present invention is not limited thereto. As long as good transmission characteristics can be obtained, the two pairs of second extension portions 43 and the contact portions 85b may be arranged asymmetrically.

[0122] In the above embodiment, the two pairs of first extension portions 42 and the contact portions 85a are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the contact portion between the first contact point 30a and the second contact point 70a in the front-rear direction, but the present invention is not limited thereto. As long as good transmission characteristics can be obtained, the two pairs of first extension portions 42 and the contact portions 85a may be arranged asymmetrically.

[0123] In the above embodiment, the contact portion 85b of the second shield member 80 extends in the left-right direction between the first mounting portion 86b and the second contact 70a, but the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the contact portion 85b of the second shield member 80 may extend in any direction.

[0124] In the above embodiment, the width of the contact portion 85b of the second shielding member 80 in the left-right direction is greater than or equal to the installation width of the first installation portion 86b in the left-right direction, but the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the width of the contact portion 85b in the left-right direction may be smaller than the installation width of the first installation portion 86b in the left-right direction.

[0125] In the above embodiment, the contact portion 85b of the second shield member 80 extends from the first mounting portion 86b in an S-shape, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The contact portion 85b may extend from the first mounting portion 86b in any shape.

[0126] In the above embodiment, the contact portion 85b of the second shielding member 80 has spring elasticity, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The contact portion 85b may not have spring elasticity. Instead, the second extending portion 43 in contact with the contact portion 85b may have spring elasticity.

[0127] In the above embodiment, the first contact 30a and the second contact 70a are described as being arranged along the short side direction of the connector 1, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The first contact 30a and the second contact 70a may also be arranged along the long side direction of the connector 1. The pair of first contacts 30a are described as being arranged at both ends of the first insulator 20 in the left-right direction, and the pair of second contacts 70a are arranged at both ends of the second insulator 60 in the left-right direction, but the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the pair of first contacts 30a may be arranged on the inner side of the first insulator 20 in the left-right direction, and the pair of second contacts 70a may be arranged on the inner side of the second insulator 60 in the left-right direction.

[0128] In the above embodiment, it is described that the connector 1 has a plurality of contacts different from the first contact 30a and the second contact 70a, namely, the signal contact 30b and the signal contact 70b, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The connector 1 may also be free of the signal contact 30b and the signal contact 70b. In the above embodiment, it is described that these plurality of contacts are arranged along the long side direction of the connector 1, but the present invention is not limited thereto. These plurality of contacts may also be arranged along the short side direction of the connector 1.

[0129] In the above embodiment, the second shielding member 80 is described as including the first member 80a and the second member 80b, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The second shielding member 80 may be formed integrally as one member instead of being divided into two members.

[0130] The mounting pattern of each mounting portion in the above embodiment is not limited to the above description. Each mounting portion may also be mounted on the mounting surface of the corresponding circuit board in any mounting pattern.

[0131] The connector 1 described above can be mounted on electronic devices including circuit boards CB1 and CB2. The electronic devices include, for example, any communication terminal devices such as smartphones, any information processing devices such as personal computers, copiers, printers, fax machines, and multifunction machines.
