[0043] Hereinafter, the connector conversion component 100 according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Figure 6 This is a perspective view showing the block portion 42 of the connector conversion component 100 according to the first embodiment. Figure 7 This is a cross-sectional view of the block portion 42 of the connector conversion component 100 according to the first embodiment. Figure 8 This is a cross-sectional view showing the first grounding terminal member 3 and signal line members 300, 400, 500, and 600 of the connector conversion component 100 according to the first embodiment. Figure 9 This is a perspective view showing the signal terminal components 23, 24, 25, 26, the first grounding terminal component 3, and the signal line components 300, 400, 500, and 600 of the connector conversion component 100 according to the first embodiment.

[0044] In this specification, directions are defined as follows: The direction in which the normal to the mounting surface FS41 in the first embodiment extends is defined as the up-down direction. The up-down direction is consistent with the direction in which the mounting surface FS41 and the back surface BS41 are arranged. Furthermore, the direction in which the signal line components 300, 400, 500, and 600 in the first embodiment extend is defined as the front-back direction. Directions orthogonal to the up-down and front-back directions are defined as the left-right directions. The up-down, front-back, and left-right directions are mutually orthogonal.

[0045] In this specification, "the first component is positioned on top of the second component" means that at least a portion of the first component is directly above the second component. Therefore, when viewed in the vertical direction, the first component overlaps with the second component. This definition also applies to directions other than the vertical direction.

[0046] In this specification, the first member is positioned above the second member, including cases where at least a portion of the first member is directly above the second member, and cases where the first member is not directly above the second member but is positioned diagonally above the second member. In the latter case, when viewed in the vertical direction, the first member may not overlap with the second member. "Diagonally above" is, for example, the upper left or upper right. This definition also applies to directions other than the vertical direction.

[0047] In this specification, unless otherwise specified, the parts of the first component are defined as follows: The front part of the first component refers to the front half of the first component. The rear part of the first component refers to the rear half of the first component. The left part of the first component refers to the left half of the first component. The right part of the first component refers to the right half of the first component. The upper part of the first component refers to the upper half of the first component. The lower part of the first component refers to the lower half of the first component. The front end of the first component refers to the frontal end of the first component. The rear end of the first component refers to the rearal end of the first component. The left end of the first component refers to the leftal end of the first component. The right end of the first component refers to the rightal end of the first component. The upper end of the first component refers to the upper end of the first component. The lower end of the first component refers to the lower end of the first component. The front end of the first component refers to the front end and its vicinity. The rear end of the first component refers to the rear end and its vicinity. The left end of the first component refers to the left end and its vicinity. The right end of the first component refers to the right end and its vicinity. The upper end of the first component refers to the upper part of the first component and its vicinity. The lower end of the first component refers to the lower part of the first component and its vicinity.

[0048] When any two components in this specification are defined as a first component and a second component, the relationship between the two components is as follows: In this specification, the first component being supported by a second component includes the case where the first component is immovably mounted (i.e., fixed) to the second component relative to the second component, and the case where the first component is movablely mounted to the second component relative to the second component. Furthermore, the first component being supported by a second component includes both the case where the first component is directly mounted to the second component and the case where the first component is mounted to the second component via a third component.

[0049] In this specification, the first component being held in relation to the second component includes the case where the first component is immovably mounted (i.e., fixed) to the second component relative to the second component, excluding the case where the first component is movably mounted to the second component relative to the second component. Furthermore, the first component being held in relation to the second component includes both the case where the first component is directly mounted to the second component and the case where the first component is mounted to the second component via a third component.

[0050] In this specification, "electrical connection between the first component and the second component" means that there is electrical conductivity between the first component and the second component. Therefore, the first component and the second component may or may not be in contact. When the first component and the second component are not in contact, a conductive third component is disposed between the first component and the second component.

[0051] like Figure 1 As shown, the connector conversion component 100 is connected to the front ends of signal line components 300, 400, 500, and 600. In this embodiment, there are four signal line components. Furthermore, signal line components 400, 500, and 600 each have the same structure as signal line component 300. Therefore, the description of signal line components 400, 500, and 600 is omitted.

[0052] like Figure 2 As shown, the signal line component 300 includes a conductor 301, an insulator 302, a grounding conductor 303, and an insulating sheath 304. In this embodiment, the signal line component 300 is a coaxial cable. That is, when viewed in the front-back direction, the center of the cross section of the signal line component 300 perpendicular to the front-back direction overlaps with the centers of the cross sections of the conductor 301, the insulator 302, the grounding conductor 303, and the insulating sheath 304 perpendicular to the front-back direction. Furthermore, the conductor 301 and the grounding conductor 303 are conductive. The insulator 302 and the insulating sheath 304 are insulators. The insulator 302 is disposed around the conductor 301. Furthermore, the insulator 302 is elastic. The grounding conductor 303 is disposed around the insulator 302. The grounding conductor 303 is insulated from the conductor 301 by means of the insulator 302. The insulating sheath 304 is disposed around the grounding conductor 303. Furthermore, the insulating sheath 304 is elastic. Additionally, the grounding conductor 303 is exposed at the front end of the signal line component 300 by removing the insulating sheath 304. Furthermore, the insulator 302 is exposed at the front end of the signal line component 300 by removing both the grounding conductor 303 and the insulating sheath 304.

[0053] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the connector conversion component 100 includes signal terminal members 23, 24, 25, and 26, a first grounding terminal member 3, a first holding member 4, and a fixing member 6. In this embodiment, the first grounding terminal member 3 corresponds to the "grounding terminal member" of the present invention.

[0054] In this embodiment, there are four signal terminal components. That is, in this embodiment, the connector conversion component 100 has two or more signal terminal components. Signal terminal components 23, 24, 25, and 26 are all conductors. Furthermore, signal terminal components 23, 24, 25, and 26 are not electrically connected to each other. Signal terminal components 23, 24, 25, and 26 are arranged sequentially from right to left.

[0055] like Figure 3 As shown, the signal terminal member 23 includes a wiring portion 231 and signal electrodes 232. In this embodiment, there are four signal electrodes. That is, in this embodiment, the connector conversion member 100 has two or more signal electrodes. The signal electrodes 232 occupy the front end of the signal terminal member 23. When viewed in the vertical direction, the wiring portion 231 extends forward from the front end of the signal line member 300. The wiring portion 231 is connected to the signal electrodes 232. In addition, the wiring portion 231 is electrically connected to the conductor 301. The wiring portion 231 is electrically connected to the conductor 301, for example, via solder. Thus, the signal terminal member 23 is electrically connected to the conductor 301. Figure 1 As shown, the wiring portion 231 does not protrude from the mounting surface FS41, which will be described later. Therefore, the wiring portion 231 is located within the first retaining member 4. Figure 1 As shown, signal electrode 232 is exposed from the mounting surface FS41, which will be described later. In this embodiment, signal electrode 232 is disposed on the mounting surface FS41. When the connector component 200 is mounted on the surface, the signal electrode 232 is electrically connected to the signal terminal 130 via a conductive bonding material. In this embodiment, the conductive bonding material is solder. When the connector component 200 is mounted on the mounting surface, solder is disposed on the signal electrode 232.

[0056] like Figure 3 As shown, the signal terminal component 24 includes a wiring portion 241 and a signal electrode 242. The signal electrode 242 occupies the front end of the signal terminal component 24. When viewed in the vertical direction, the wiring portion 241 extends forward from the front end of the signal line component 400. The wiring portion 241 is connected to the signal electrode 242. Furthermore, the wiring portion 241 is electrically connected to the conductor 401. The wiring portion 241 is electrically connected to the conductor 401, for example, via solder. Thus, the signal terminal component 24 is electrically connected to the conductor 401. Figure 1 As shown, the wiring portion 241 does not protrude from the mounting surface FS41, which will be described later. Therefore, the wiring portion 241 is located within the first retaining member 4. Figure 1As shown, the signal electrode 242 is exposed from the mounting surface FS41, which will be described later. In this embodiment, the signal electrode 242 is disposed on the mounting surface FS41. When the connector component 200 is mounted on the surface described later, the signal electrode 242 is electrically connected to the signal terminal 140 via a conductive bonding material. In this embodiment, the conductive bonding material is solder. When the connector component 200 is mounted on the mounting surface, solder is disposed on the signal electrode 242.

[0057] Signal terminal member 25 has a configuration that is symmetrical to signal terminal member 24. Therefore, a detailed description of signal terminal member 25 is omitted. Similarly, signal terminal member 26 has a configuration that is symmetrical to signal terminal member 23. Therefore, a detailed description of signal terminal member 26 is omitted.

[0058] The first grounding terminal component 3 is a conductor. Additionally, as... Figure 1 , Figure 2 as well as Figure 4 As shown, the first grounding terminal component 3 includes wiring portions 31a, 31b, 31c, grounding electrodes 32a, 32b, 32c, a main body portion 33, holding portions 34a, 34b, and first riveting portions 54, 55. The grounding electrodes 32a, 32b, and 32c are arranged sequentially from left to right.

[0059] When viewed vertically, the main body 33 has a plate shape with a rectangular shape. For example... Figure 9 As shown, the main body 33 is located above the wiring section 251. Therefore, when viewed vertically, the main body 33 overlaps with the wiring section 251. On the other hand, in this embodiment, when viewed vertically, the main body 33 does not overlap with the wiring section 251. In addition, the main body 33 is electrically connected to the grounding conductor 403 and the grounding conductor 503. Thus, the first grounding terminal member 3 is electrically connected to the grounding conductor 403 and the grounding conductor 503.

[0060] When viewed from the left and right, the retaining parts 34a and 34b have a rectangular shape. More specifically, as... Figure 8 As shown, the held portion 34a extends downward from the left side of the main body portion 33. The held portion 34b extends downward from the right side of the main body portion 33. Thus, when viewed vertically, the held portion 34a is located between the wiring portion 251 and the wiring portion 261. Furthermore, in this embodiment, when viewed horizontally, the held portion 34a overlaps with the wiring portion 251. When viewed horizontally, the held portion 34a does not overlap with the wiring portion 261. Furthermore, when viewed vertically, the held portion 34b is located between the wiring portion 231 and the wiring portion 241. Furthermore, in this embodiment, when viewed horizontally, the held portion 34b overlaps with the wiring portion 241. When viewed horizontally, the held portion 34b does not overlap with the wiring portion 231.

[0061] like Figure 1 As shown, signal electrodes 232, 242, 252, 262, wiring portions 31a, 31b, 31c, and ground electrodes 32a, 32b, 32c are disposed on the mounting surface FS41. The signal electrodes 232, 242, 252, 262, wiring portions 31a, 31b, 31c, and ground electrodes 32a, 32b, 32c correspond to the "pad portion" of this invention. That is, signal terminal components 23, 24, 25, 26 include signal electrodes 232, 242, 252, 262 disposed on the mounting surface FS41. The first ground terminal component 3 includes wiring portions 31a, 31b, 31c and ground electrodes 32a, 32b, 32c disposed on the mounting surface FS41.

[0062] like Figure 4 As shown, when viewed vertically, the wiring portion 31a extends forward from the main body portion 33. The wiring portion 31a is connected to the grounding electrode 32a. Furthermore, the wiring portion 31a is exposed from the mounting surface FS41, which will be described later. Additionally, as... Figure 1 As shown, the ground electrode 32a protrudes from the mounting surface FS41, which will be described later. In this embodiment, the ground electrode 32a is disposed on the mounting surface FS41, which will be described later. When the connector component 200 is mounted on the mounting surface, the ground electrode 32a is electrically connected to the ground terminals 170a, 170b, and 170c via a conductive bonding material. In this embodiment, the conductive bonding material is solder. When the connector component 200 is mounted on the mounting surface, the solder is disposed on the ground electrode 32a.

[0063] like Figure 4 As shown, when viewed vertically, the wiring portion 31b extends forward from the main body portion 33. The wiring portion 31b is connected to the grounding electrode 32b. Furthermore, the wiring portion 31b is exposed from the mounting surface FS41, which will be described later. Additionally, as... Figure 1 As shown, the ground electrode 32b is exposed from the mounting surface FS41, which will be described later. In this embodiment, the ground electrode 32b is disposed on the mounting surface FS41, which will be described later. When the connector component 200 is mounted on the mounting surface, the ground electrode 32b is electrically connected to the ground terminals 170a, 170b, and 170c via a conductive bonding material. In this embodiment, the conductive bonding material is solder. When the connector component 200 is mounted on the mounting surface, the solder is disposed on the ground electrode 32b.

[0064] The wiring section 31c and the grounding electrode 32c have structures that are symmetrical to those of the wiring section 31a and the grounding electrode 32a, respectively. Therefore, detailed descriptions of the wiring section 31c and the grounding electrode 32c are omitted.

[0065] The first retaining member 4 is an insulator. In this embodiment, the material of the first retaining member 4 includes resin. Additionally, as... Figure 1 As shown, the first retaining member 4 includes a mounting portion 41 and a block portion 42. The first retaining member 4 retains signal terminal members 23, 24, 25, 26 and the first grounding terminal member 3. More specifically, the first retaining member 4 retains signal terminal members 23, 24, 25, 26 and the first grounding terminal member 3.

[0066] The mounting portion 41 has a plate shape. Therefore, the mounting portion 41 has a mounting surface FS41 and a back surface BS41. More specifically, as... Figure 1 As shown, the mounting surface FS41 has a rectangular shape, with a short side extending in the front-to-back direction and a long side extending in the left-to-right direction. The back surface BS41 also has a rectangular shape, with a short side extending in the front-to-back direction and a long side extending in the left-to-right direction. In this embodiment, when viewed in the vertical direction, the long side of the mounting surface FS41 overlaps with the long side of the back surface BS41. Furthermore, when viewed in the vertical direction, the short side of the mounting surface FS41 overlaps with the short side of the back surface BS41. That is, when viewed in the vertical direction (the normal direction of the mounting surface FS41), the back surface BS41 overlaps with the mounting surface FS41.

[0067] like Figure 5 As shown, the surface mount connector component 200, described later, is mounted on the mounting surface FS41. (As indicated...) Figure 1 As shown, the back side BS41 is fixed to the fixing surface S62 of the fixing member 6 described later.

[0068] Block 42 holds signal terminal members 23, 24, 25, 26 and the first grounding terminal member 3. More specifically, as... Figure 1 As shown, when viewed along the vertical direction (the normal direction of the mounting surface FS41), block 42 is located between the first riveting portions 54 and 55 (described later) and the mounting surface FS41. Block 42 has a generally cuboid shape. More specifically, as... Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the block 42 includes an upper surface S1, a front surface S2, a left surface S3, a lower surface S4, a rear surface S5, and a right surface S6.

[0069] In this embodiment, the main body 33 covers the upper surface S1. Thus, as... Figure 1 As shown, the main body 33 has a first portion P1 disposed on the upper surface S1. Additionally, the retaining portions 34a and 34b are located inside the block portion 42. Thus, the block portion 42 retains the first grounding terminal member 3.

[0070] like Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, through holes OP1 and OP2 are provided in the block portion 42, extending through the block portion 42 in the front-to-back direction. More specifically, as... Figure 6 As shown, the front end of the through hole OP1 is an open OP1F. Similarly, the front end of the through hole OP2 is an open OP2F. (As shown...) Figure 7 As shown, the rear end of the through hole OP1 is an open OP1B. Similarly, the rear end of the through hole OP2 is an open OP2B. That is, as... Figure 6 As shown, openings OP1F and OP2F are provided on the front surface S2. Additionally, as... Figure 7 As shown, openings OP1B and OP2B are provided on the rear surface S5.

[0071] The wiring section 241 has a portion located within the through hole OP1. Additionally, as... Figure 1 As shown, the wiring portion 241 is exposed from the opening OP1F.

[0073] In this embodiment, the number of first riveting portions is four. That is, in this embodiment, the connector conversion component 100 includes two or more first riveting portions. The first riveting portions 53, 54, 55, and 56 are all conductors. In this embodiment, the first riveting portions 54 and 55 extend rearward from the main body portion 33. Therefore, the main body portion 33 of the first grounding terminal component 3 is held by the first retaining member 4, thereby holding the first riveting portions 54 and 55 by the first retaining member 4. In addition, the fixing member 6, described later, is electrically connected to the first riveting portions 53 and 56.

[0075] The first riveting portion 53 holds the signal line component 300 in place by riveting it. More specifically, the first riveting portion 53 is crimped to the insulating sheath 304, the grounding conductor 303, and the insulator 302.

More specifically, the fixing portion 62 is a conductor. The fixing surface S62 has a rectangular shape, which has a long side extending in the front-back direction and a short side extending in the left-right direction. When viewed in the vertical direction (the normal direction of the mounting surface FS41), the fixing surface S62 overlaps with the mounting surface FS41 and the back surface BS41. The back surface BS41 is fixed to the fixing surface S62.

[0079] The second riveting portions 61a and 61b are conductive. The second riveting portions 61a and 61b retain the first retaining member 4 by riveting them together. Specifically, the second riveting portion 61a extends upward from the rear end of the short side on the left side of the fixing portion 62. Furthermore, the second riveting portion 61a bends to the right. Thus, as... Figure 1As shown, the second riveting part 61a holds the first retaining member 4 and the first grounding terminal member 3 by riveting the block part 42 and the main body part 33 together. The second riveting part 61b has a structure that is symmetrical to the second riveting part 61a. Therefore, a detailed description of the structure of the second riveting part 61b is omitted.

Moreover, the second riveting parts 61a and 61b are electrically connected to the main body part 33. That is, the second riveting parts 61a and 61b are electrically connected to the first grounding terminal member 3. Thus, the fixing part 62 is electrically connected to the first grounding terminal member 3 via the second riveting parts 61a and 61b. In addition, the second riveting parts 61a and 61b are located on the upper surface S1. In addition, the second riveting parts 61a and 61b are located on the main body part 33.

Furthermore, when the surface mount connector member 200 is mounted on the connector conversion member 100, the grounding cover 171a contacts the left end of the fixing member 6.

[0083] The grounding cover 171b covers the right end of the second retaining member 180. The grounding cover 171b extends downward from the right side of the surface mount connector member 200. Furthermore, when the surface mount connector member 200 is mounted on the connector conversion member 100, the grounding cover 171b contacts the right end of the fixing member 6. Thus, the grounding cover 171b is electrically connected to the fixing member 6.

[0084] In this embodiment, there are four signal terminals. That is, in this embodiment, the surface mount connector component 200 has two or more signal terminals. Signal terminals 130, 140, 150, and 160 are all conductors. Furthermore, signal terminals 130, 140, 150, and 160 are not electrically connected to each other.

[0085] The signal terminal 130 is exposed from the second retaining member 180 on the bottom surface S200. Furthermore, when the surface mount connector component 200 is mounted on the connector conversion component 100, the signal terminal 130 overlaps with the signal electrode 232 when viewed vertically.

[0089] Grounding terminal 170a is a conductor. Furthermore, grounding terminal 170a is exposed from the second retaining member 180 on the bottom surface S200. Additionally, when the surface mount connector component 200 is mounted to the connector conversion component 100, grounding terminal 170a overlaps with grounding electrode 32b when viewed vertically.

[0092] like Figure 5 As shown, a first connector 700 is formed by mounting the surface mount connector component 200 onto the connector conversion component 100.

[0093] [Effect]

[0094] According to the connector conversion member 100, positional displacement of the signal line component caused by pressing the riveted portion against the insulator of the signal line component can be suppressed. For example, the coaxial connector described in Patent Document 1 presses the coaxial cable against two cutting tabs by means of the riveted portion, so that the center conductor of the coaxial cable is clamped in a predetermined gap between the two cutting tabs. Thus, the two cutting tabs are pressed against the insulator of the coaxial cable by force from the riveted portion. Furthermore, the two cutting tabs cut (damage) a portion of the insulator of the coaxial cable and connect to the center conductor. In this case, since the coaxial connector applies a large force to the center conductor before and after the connection of the coaxial cable, positional displacement of the coaxial cable may occur.

[0095] On the other hand, according to the connector conversion member 100, the first riveting portion 53 holds the signal line member 300. The first retaining member 4 holds the first riveting portion 53 and the signal terminal member 23. The surface mount connector member 200 is mounted on the mounting surface FS41 of the first retaining member 4. Therefore, according to the connector conversion member 100, the signal terminal member 23 can be fixed to the connector conversion member 100. Therefore, the first riveting portion 53 does not exert a large force on the conductor 301. As a result, according to the connector conversion member 100, the positional displacement of the signal line member caused by pressing the riveting portion to the insulator of the signal line member can be suppressed.

[0096] According to the connector conversion component 100, high-frequency characteristics can be improved. More specifically, the signal terminal component 23 includes a wiring portion 231 and a signal electrode 232. The wiring portion 231 is electrically connected to the conductor 301 via solder. Thus, the signal terminal component 23 is electrically connected to the conductor 301. That is, the connector conversion component 100 does not apply a large force to the signal terminal component 23 before and after the connection of the signal line component 300, so the shape of the signal terminal component 23 does not change. Therefore, the connector conversion component 100 can simplify the shape of the signal terminal component 23. In addition, since the shape of the signal terminal component 23 does not change, the connector conversion component 100 can suppress the impedance changes of the conductor 301 and the signal terminal component 23 before and after the connection of the signal line component 300. As a result, according to the connector conversion component 100, high-frequency characteristics can be improved.

[0097] According to the connector conversion component 100, signal insulation can be improved. More specifically, the first grounding terminal component 3 is electrically connected to the grounding conductor 303. Therefore, the potential of the grounding conductor 303 is the same as the potential of the first grounding terminal component 3. As a result, signal shielding is improved. Consequently, according to the connector conversion component 100, signal insulation can be improved.

[0098] According to the connector conversion component 100, solder flow is prevented. More specifically, the signal electrode 232 is disposed on the mounting surface FS41. On the other hand, the wiring portion 231 is not exposed from the mounting surface FS41. When the connector component 200 is mounted on the mounting surface, solder is disposed on the signal electrode 232. The material of the signal electrode 232 is different from the material of the mounting surface FS41. As a result, according to the connector conversion component 100, when viewed in the vertical direction, solder does not easily flow around the signal electrode 232.

[0099] According to the connector conversion component 100, the accuracy of high-frequency characteristics can be improved. More specifically, the first retaining member 4 holds the signal terminal member 23 and the first ground terminal member 3. Furthermore, the material of the first retaining member 4 includes resin. Therefore, by using resin to seal the signal terminal member 23 and the first ground terminal member 3, positional misalignment of the signal terminal member 23 and the first ground terminal member 3 can be suppressed. As a result, according to the connector conversion component 100, the accuracy of high-frequency characteristics can be improved.

[0100] According to the connector conversion component 100, the mechanical strength of the connector conversion component 100 can be further improved. More specifically, the first retaining member 4 includes a block portion 42. The block portion 42 has a generally cuboid shape. In addition, when viewed along the normal direction of the mounting surface FS41, the block portion 42 is located between the first riveting portions 54, 55 and the mounting surface FS41. In addition, the block portion 42 retains the signal terminal member 23 and the first grounding terminal member 3. As a result, according to the connector conversion component 100, the mechanical strength of the connector conversion component 100 can be improved.

[0101] According to the connector conversion component 100, continuity checks of the signal terminal components can be performed more easily. More specifically, the signal terminal component 24 protrudes from the block portion 42. Therefore, for example, by contacting the probe of a tester with the portion of the signal terminal component 24 that protrudes from the block portion 42, continuity checks of the signal terminal component 24 can be performed. As a result, according to the connector conversion component 100, continuity checks of the signal terminal components can be performed more easily.

[0102] According to the connector conversion component 100, the mechanical strength of the connector conversion component 100 can be further improved. More specifically, the connector conversion component 100 includes a fixing member 6. The fixing member 6 includes second riveting portions 61a and 61b. The second riveting portions 61a and 61b retain the first retaining member 4 by riveting it. As a result, according to the connector conversion component 100, the mechanical strength of the connector conversion component 100 can be further improved.

[0103] According to the connector conversion component 100, signal shielding can be improved. More specifically, the second riveting portions 61a and 61b are conductors. Furthermore, the second riveting portions 61a and 61b are electrically connected to the first grounding terminal member 3. Thus, the second riveting portions 61a and 61b become grounded, increasing the grounding area. As a result, according to the connector conversion component 100, signal shielding can be improved.

[0104] According to the connector conversion component 100, the release of noise in the downward direction and the intrusion of noise from the downward direction can be suppressed. More specifically, when viewed along the normal direction of the mounting surface FS41, the first retaining member 4 includes a back surface BS41 that overlaps with the mounting surface FS41. In addition, the fixing member 6 includes a fixing portion 62 that is electrically connected to the first grounding terminal member 3. In addition, the fixing portion 62 has a fixing surface S62. In addition, the back surface BS41 is fixed to the fixing surface S62. Thus, the fixing portion 62 can suppress the release of noise in the downward direction emitted by the signal terminal member 23 and the first grounding terminal member 3. In addition, the fixing portion 62 can suppress noise intruding from below the connector conversion component 100. As a result, according to the connector conversion component 100, the release of noise in the downward direction and the intrusion of noise from the downward direction can be suppressed.

[0105] According to the connector conversion component 100, two or more signal line components can be connected. More specifically, the connector conversion component 100 includes signal terminal components 23 and 24. Additionally, the first ground terminal component 3 includes first riveting portions 53 and 54. The conductor 301 of the signal line component 300 is electrically connected to the signal terminal component 23. The first riveting portion 53 holds the signal line component 300 by riveting it in place. Thus, the connector conversion component 100 can connect the signal line component 300. Furthermore, the conductor 401 of the signal line component 400 is electrically connected to the signal terminal component 24. The first riveting portion 54 holds the signal line component 400 by riveting it in place. Thus, the connector conversion component 100 can connect the signal line component 400. Therefore, according to the connector conversion component 100, two or more signal line components can be connected.

[0106] According to the connector conversion component 100, the insulation between multiple signals can be improved. More specifically, the first grounding terminal member 3 has a retaining portion 34a that has a plate shape when viewed in the left-right direction. The retaining portion 34a is located between the wiring portion 251 and the wiring portion 261. That is, the first grounding terminal member 3 is located between the signal terminal member 25 and the signal terminal member 26. As a result, noise emitted by the signal terminal member 25 is blocked by the first grounding terminal member 3 and is less likely to intrude into the signal terminal member 26. In addition, noise emitted by the signal terminal member 26 is blocked by the first grounding terminal member 3 and is less likely to intrude into the signal terminal member 25. As a result, according to the connector conversion component 100, the insulation between multiple signals can be improved.

[0107] According to the connector conversion component 100, power consumption can be suppressed. More specifically, the signal line component 300 connected to the connector conversion component 100 is a coaxial cable. Coaxial cables, for example, have lower losses compared to flexible substrates. Therefore, the connector conversion component 100 can suppress losses. As a result, according to the connector conversion component 100, power consumption can be suppressed.

[0108] According to the connector conversion component 100, the conductors 301, 401, 501, and 601 of each signal line component 300, 400, 500, and 600 can be electrically connected to the signal terminals 130, 140, 150, and 160 of the surface mount connector component 200. Furthermore, according to the connector conversion component 100, the grounding conductors 303, 403, 503, and 603 of the signal line components 300, 400, 500, and 600 can be electrically connected to the grounding terminals 170a, 170b, and 170c. More specifically, the signal electrodes 232, 242, 252, and 262 of each of the signal terminal components 23, 24, 25, and 26 are electrically connected to the conductors 301, 401, 501, and 601 of each of the signal line components 300, 400, 500, and 600, respectively, and are disposed on the mounting surface FS41. Furthermore, the wiring portions 31a, 31b, and 31c of the first grounding terminal member 3 and the grounding electrodes 32a, 32b, and 32c of the first grounding terminal member 3 are electrically connected to the grounding conductors 303, 403, 503, and 603 of the signal line members 300, 400, 500, and 600, and are disposed on the mounting surface FS41. The surface mount connector member 200 is mounted on the mounting surface FS41. Thus, each signal electrode 232, 242, 252, and 262 is electrically connected to each signal terminal 130, 140, 150, and 160 of the surface mount connector member 200 via a conductive bonding material. As a result, according to the connector conversion member 100, the conductors 301, 401, 501, and 601 of each signal line member 300, 400, 500, and 600 can be electrically connected to each signal terminal 130, 140, 150, and 160 of the surface mount connector member 200. Furthermore, grounding electrodes 32a, 32b, and 32c are electrically connected to grounding terminals 170a, 170b, and 170c of the surface mount connector component 200 via a conductive bonding material. As a result, according to the connector conversion component 100, the grounding conductors 303, 403, 503, and 603 of the signal line components 300, 400, 500, and 600 can be electrically connected to the grounding terminals 170a, 170b, and 170c of the surface mount connector component 200.

[0109] [Second Implementation]

[0110] Hereinafter, the connector conversion component 100a and the surface mount connector component 200a according to the second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Figure 10 This is a perspective view showing the connector conversion component 100a and signal line component 400 according to the second embodiment. Figure 11This is a perspective view showing the connector conversion component 100a and the surface mount connector component 200a according to the second embodiment. Furthermore, regarding the connector conversion component 100a and the surface mount connector component 200a according to the second embodiment, only the parts that differ from the connector conversion component 100 and the surface mount connector component 200a according to the first embodiment will be described; the rest will be omitted.

[0111] In this embodiment, the signal line component is a single component, and the first holding component 4 holds the signal terminal component 24 and holds it to the first grounding terminal component 3, which is different from the connector conversion component 100 and the surface mount connector component 200.

[0112] In this embodiment, such as Figure 10 As shown, the number of signal terminal components is one. That is, the connector conversion component 100a includes one signal terminal component 24. Therefore, in this embodiment, the number of signal electrodes is one. That is, the connector conversion component 100a includes one signal electrode 242. In addition, in this embodiment, the number of first riveting portions is one. That is, in this embodiment, the connector conversion component 100a includes one first riveting portion 54. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the first retaining member 4 does not include the block portion 42. Therefore, the wiring portion 241 does not have an exposed portion. In addition, the main body portion 33 does not have the first portion P1 and the second portion P2. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the first grounding terminal component 3 does not include the grounding electrode 32b.

When viewed in the vertical direction, the signal terminal 140 is located at the center of the bottom surface S200 and has a cylindrical shape extending in the vertical direction. In this embodiment, the surface mount connector component 200a does not have a ground terminal 170c and ground covers 171a and 171b.

[0114] In this embodiment, the grounding terminal 170a is located at the left end of the surface mount connector component 200a. When the surface mount connector component 200a is mounted on the connector conversion component 100a, the grounding terminal 170a overlaps with the grounding electrode 32c when viewed in the vertical direction. Therefore, when the surface mount connector component 200a is mounted on the connector conversion component 100a, the grounding terminal 170a is electrically connected to the grounding electrode 32c. That is, when the surface mount connector component 200a is mounted on the connector conversion component 100a, the grounding terminal 170a is electrically connected to the first grounding terminal member 3.

[0115] In this embodiment, the grounding terminal 170b is located at the right end of the surface mount connector component 200a. When the surface mount connector component 200a is mounted to the connector conversion component 100a, the grounding terminal 170b overlaps with the grounding electrode 32a when viewed vertically. Therefore, when the surface mount connector component 200a is mounted to the connector conversion component 100a, the grounding terminal 170b is electrically connected to the grounding electrode 32a. That is, when the surface mount connector component 200a is mounted to the connector conversion component 100a, the grounding terminal 170b is electrically connected to the first grounding terminal member 3. Figure 11 As shown, a first connector 700a is formed by mounting a surface mount connector component 200a onto a connector conversion component 100a.

[0116] The connector conversion component 100a and surface mount connector component 200a described above also have the same effect as the connector conversion component 100 and surface mount connector component 200.

Furthermore, the surface mount connector member 200b is identical to the surface mount connector member 200a. For example... Figure 12 As shown, a first connector 700b is formed by mounting the surface mount connector component 200b onto the connector conversion component 100b.

[0120] In this embodiment, such as Figure 12 As shown, the ground electrode 32b has a generally cuboid shape. The signal terminal component 24 has a portion located inside the ground electrode 32b.

[0121] The connector conversion component 100b and surface mount connector component 200b described above also achieve the same effect as the connector conversion component 100a and surface mount connector component 200a. Furthermore, the connector conversion component 100b can further improve the shielding of signals passing through the signal terminal member 24.

[0122] [Fourth Implementation Method]

[0123] Hereinafter, the surface mount connector component 200c according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Figure 13 This is a perspective view showing the connector conversion component 100c and the surface mount connector component 200c according to the fourth embodiment. Figure 14 This is a perspective view showing the first connector 700c and the second connector 800 according to the fourth embodiment. Furthermore, regarding the surface mount connector component 200c according to the fourth embodiment, only the parts that differ from the surface mount connector component 200 according to the first embodiment are described; the rest are omitted.

[0124] In this embodiment, such as Figure 13 As shown, the terminals corresponding to grounding terminals 170a and 170b in the surface mount connector component 200c are dummy terminals 172a and 172b, which differs from the surface mount connector component 200. When the surface mount connector component 200c is mounted to the connector conversion component 100c, the dummy terminals 172a and 172b are not electrically connected to the first grounding terminal member 3. Figure 13 As shown, a first connector 700c is formed by mounting the surface mount connector component 200c onto the connector conversion component 100c.

[0125] The second connector 800 is a connector that is pluggably fitted into the first connector 700c in the vertical direction. More specifically, as... Figure 13 and Figure 14 As shown, when viewed in the vertical direction, the surface mount connector component 200c is moved toward the second connector 800 in the vertical direction while the surface mount connector component 200c overlaps with the second connector 800, thereby causing the surface mount connector component 200c and the second connector 800 to engage with each other.

[0126] like Figure 14 As shown, the second connector 800 includes signal terminals 830, 840, 850, 860, dummy terminals 872a, 872b, and ground conductors 871a, 871b. The signal terminals 830, 840, 850, 860, dummy terminals 872a, 872b, and ground conductors 871a, 871b are conductive.

[0127] With the surface mount connector component 200c and the second connector 800 engaged, signal terminals 830, 840, 850, and 860 are electrically connected to signal terminals 130, 140, 150, and 160 of the surface mount connector component 200c, respectively. Additionally, with the surface mount connector component 200c and the second connector 800 engaged, dummy terminals 872a and 872b are electrically connected to dummy terminals 172a and 172b of the surface mount connector component 200c, respectively. Furthermore, with the surface mount connector component 200c and the second connector 800 engaged, grounding conductors 871a and 871b are electrically connected to grounding covers 171a and 171b of the surface mount connector component 200c, respectively.

[0128] When viewed vertically, the upper surface S800 of the second connector 800 is exposed. The upper surface S800 of the second connector 800 is fixed to the circuit board, for example, by solder.

[0129] The surface mount connector component 200c described above also achieves the same effect as the surface mount connector component 200. Furthermore, according to the first connector 700c, the first connector 700c can be fixed to the circuit board. More specifically, the first connector 700c includes a connector conversion component 100c and a surface mount connector component 200c. The first connector 700c is formed by mounting the surface mount connector component 200c onto the connector conversion component 100c. By moving the surface mount connector component 200c toward the second connector 800 in the vertical direction when viewed vertically, with the surface mount connector component 200c overlapping the second connector 800, the surface mount connector component 200c and the second connector 800 are interlocked. The upper surface S800 of the second connector 800 is fixed to the circuit board. As a result, the first connector 700c can be fixed to the circuit board.

[0130] [Fifth Implementation]

[0131] Hereinafter, the connector conversion component 100d and the surface mount connector component 200d according to the fifth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Figure 15 This is a perspective view showing the connector conversion component 100d according to the fifth embodiment. Figure 16 This is a perspective view showing the second grounding terminal member 7 and the third grounding terminal member 8 according to the fifth embodiment. Figure 17This is a perspective view showing the connector conversion member 100d and the surface mount connector member 200d according to the fifth embodiment. Furthermore, regarding the connector conversion member 100d according to the fifth embodiment, only the parts that differ from the connector conversion member 100a according to the second embodiment will be described; the rest are omitted.

[0132] In this embodiment, the connector conversion component 100d differs from the connector conversion component 100a in that it also includes a second grounding terminal member 7 and a third grounding terminal member 8. In this embodiment, the first grounding terminal member 3, the second grounding terminal member 7, and the third grounding terminal member 8 correspond to the "grounding terminal member" of the present invention.

[0133] The second grounding terminal component 7 and the third grounding terminal component 8 are both conductors. Additionally, as... Figure 16 As shown, the second grounding terminal component 7 includes a wiring portion 71 and a grounding electrode 72. The third grounding terminal component 8 includes a wiring portion 81 and a grounding electrode 82. In this embodiment, the grounding electrodes 72 and 82 correspond to the "pad portion" of the present invention.

[0134] like Figure 15 As shown, the wiring portions 71 and 81 are not exposed from the mounting surface FS41. Grounding electrodes 72 and 82 are respectively provided on the mounting surface FS41. That is, the first grounding terminal member 3, the second grounding terminal member 7, and the third grounding terminal member 8 include grounding electrodes 72 and 82 provided on the mounting surface FS41. In addition, the grounding electrodes 72 and 82 are respectively exposed from the mounting surface FS41.

[0135] like Figure 15 As shown, grounding electrodes 32a and 72, signal electrode 242, and grounding electrodes 82 and 32c are arranged sequentially from left to right. More specifically, grounding electrodes 32a and 72 are in contact with each other. Thus, the second grounding terminal member 7 is electrically connected to the first grounding terminal member 3. Grounding electrodes 82 and 32c are in contact with each other. Thus, the third grounding terminal member 8 is electrically connected to both the first grounding terminal member 3 and the second grounding terminal member 7.

[0136] On the other hand, such as Figure 15 As shown, the ground electrode 72 is not in contact with the signal electrode 242. Furthermore, the ground electrode 82 is not in contact with the signal electrode 242. That is, the distance 'a' between the signal electrode 242 and the ground electrode 72, and the distance 'b' between the signal electrode 242 and the ground electrode 82, are both greater than 0.

[0137] like Figure 17As shown, when the surface mount connector component 200d is mounted on the connector conversion component 100d, when viewed vertically, the ground terminal 170a overlaps with the ground electrodes 72 and 32a. Therefore, when the surface mount connector component 200d is mounted on the connector conversion component 100d, the ground terminal 170a is electrically connected to the ground electrodes 72 and 32a. Consequently, when the surface mount connector component 200d is mounted on the connector conversion component 100d, the ground terminal 170a is electrically connected to the first ground terminal component 3, the second ground terminal component 7, and the third ground terminal component 8.

[0138] like Figure 17 As shown, when the surface mount connector component 200d is mounted on the connector conversion component 100d, viewed vertically, the ground terminal 170b overlaps with the ground electrodes 82 and 32c. Therefore, when the surface mount connector component 200d is mounted on the connector conversion component 100d, the ground terminal 170b is electrically connected to the ground electrodes 82 and 32c. Consequently, when the surface mount connector component 200d is mounted on the connector conversion component 100d, the ground terminal 170b is electrically connected to the first ground terminal component 3, the second ground terminal component 7, and the third ground terminal component 8.

[0139] The connector conversion component 100d and surface mount connector component 200d described above also achieve the same effect as connector conversion component 100a and surface mount connector component 200a. Furthermore, the characteristic impedance is easily designed according to connector conversion component 100d. More specifically, the characteristic impedance depends on the distance between the signal line and the ground line. Therefore, according to connector conversion component 100d, by adjusting the distance 'a' between signal electrode 242 and ground electrode 72 and the distance 'b' between signal electrode 242 and ground electrode 82 respectively, the characteristic impedance can be easily designed to a desired value (e.g., 50Ω). As a result, the characteristic impedance is easily designed according to connector conversion component 100d.

[0140] [Sixth Implementation Method]

[0141] Hereinafter, the connector conversion component 100e according to the sixth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Figure 18 This is a perspective view showing the connector conversion component 100e according to the sixth embodiment. Figure 19 This is a perspective view of the substrate 9 according to the sixth embodiment. Furthermore, regarding the connector conversion member 100e according to the sixth embodiment, only the parts that differ from the connector conversion member 100 according to the first embodiment will be described; the rest will be omitted.

[0142] In this embodiment, the first holding member 4 includes a substrate 9; the signal terminal members 23, 24, 25, 26 are divided into first signal terminal members 73, 74, 75, 76 and second signal terminal members 83, 84, 85, 86; and the first ground terminal member 3 is divided into a fourth ground terminal member 10, a fifth ground terminal member 11, a sixth ground terminal member 12, and a seventh ground terminal member 13, which differs from the connector conversion member 100. That is, in this embodiment, the first signal terminal members 73, 74, 75, 76 and the second signal terminal members 83, 84, 85, 86 correspond to the "signal terminal members" of the present invention. Furthermore, the fourth ground terminal member 10, the fifth ground terminal member 11, the sixth ground terminal member 12, and the seventh ground terminal member 13 correspond to the "ground terminal members" of the present invention.

[0143] In this embodiment, the mounting portion 41 is an insulating substrate 9. Therefore, the substrate 9 has a mounting surface FS41. Furthermore, the substrate 9 and the block portion 42 can be separated. The substrate 9 is, for example, a printed circuit board.

[0144] like Figure 18 As shown, each of the second signal terminal components 83, 84, 85, and 86 corresponds to the portion of each of the signal terminal components 23, 24, 25, and 26 in the connector conversion component 100 that is disposed on the mounting surface FS41 of the substrate 9.

[0145] like Figure 18 As shown, each of the first signal terminal components 73, 74, 75, and 76 corresponds to the portion other than each of the second signal terminal components 83, 84, 85, and 86 within each of the signal terminal components 23, 24, 25, and 26 in the connector conversion component 100.

[0146] like Figure 18 As shown, each of the first signal terminal components 73, 74, 75, and 76 has a shape that extends forward from its respective front end. Therefore, when viewed vertically, each of the first signal terminal components 73, 74, 75, and 76 overlaps with each of the second signal terminal components 83, 84, 85, and 86. More specifically, each of the first signal terminal components 73, 74, 75, and 76 is riveted to the block portion 42 and the fourth grounding terminal component 10 by the second riveting portions 61a and 61b, and thus exerts a downward force. Therefore, the lower surface of each of the first signal terminal components 73, 74, 75, and 76 contacts the upper surface of each of the second signal terminal components 83, 84, 85, and 86. Therefore, each of the first signal terminal components 73, 74, 75, and 76 is electrically connected to each of the second signal terminal components 83, 84, 85, and 86.

[0147] like Figure 18 As shown, the fourth grounding terminal component 10 corresponds to the main body 33, the retained parts 34a and 34b, and the first riveting parts 54 and 55 in the connector conversion component 100.

[0148] Figure 18 The fifth grounding terminal component 11 shown is equivalent to Figure 1 The wiring section 31a shown and Figure 1 The grounding electrode 32a is shown. Figure 18 The sixth grounding terminal component 12 shown is equivalent to Figure 1 The wiring section 31b shown and Figure 1 The grounding electrode 32b is shown. Figure 18 The seventh grounding terminal component 13 shown is equivalent to Figure 1 The wiring section 31c shown and Figure 1 The grounding electrode 32c is shown.

[0149] like Figure 18 As shown, the fourth grounding terminal member 10 has a shape extending forward at its front end. Therefore, when viewed vertically, the fourth grounding terminal member 10 overlaps with each of the fifth grounding terminal member 11, the sixth grounding terminal member 12, and the seventh grounding terminal member 13. More specifically, the fourth grounding terminal member 10 is subjected to downward force by riveting the block portion 42 and the main body portion 33 together with the second riveting portions 61a and 61b. Therefore, the lower surface of the fourth grounding terminal member 10 contacts the upper surfaces of each of the fifth grounding terminal member 11, the sixth grounding terminal member 12, and the seventh grounding terminal member 13. Thus, the fourth grounding terminal member 10 is electrically connected to each of the fifth grounding terminal member 11, the sixth grounding terminal member 12, and the seventh grounding terminal member 13.

[0150] The substrate 9 has a structure in which conductor layers and insulator layers are stacked in the vertical direction. The conductor layers and insulator layers are arranged sequentially from top to bottom. Figure 19 As shown, second signal terminal components 83, 84, 85, 86, fifth ground terminal component 11, sixth ground terminal component 12, and seventh ground terminal component 13 are respectively disposed on the upper surface of the insulating layer. In other words, second signal terminal components 83, 84, 85, 86, fifth ground terminal component 11, sixth ground terminal component 12, and seventh ground terminal component 13 are respectively conductor layers of substrate 9. That is, substrate 9 holds second signal terminal components 83, 84, 85, 86, fifth ground terminal component 11, sixth ground terminal component 12, and seventh ground terminal component 13.

[0151] The connector conversion component 100e described above also has the same effect as the connector conversion component 100.

[0152] [Seventh Implementation Method]

[0153] Hereinafter, the connector conversion component 100f according to the seventh embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Figure 20 This is a perspective view showing the connector conversion member 100f according to the seventh embodiment. Furthermore, for the connector conversion member 100f according to the seventh embodiment, only the parts that differ from the connector conversion member 100e according to the sixth embodiment will be described; the rest are omitted.

[0154] In this embodiment, such as Figure 20 As shown, the mounting surfaces FS41 around signal electrodes 232, 242, 252, and 262, and around ground electrodes 32a, 32b, and 32c, are respectively provided with solder resist when viewed in the vertical direction, which is different from the connector conversion component 100e.

[0155] The connector conversion component 100f described above also achieves the same effect as the connector conversion component 100e. Furthermore, the connector conversion component 100f can suppress positional shift of the surface mount connector component 200f. More specifically, when mounting the surface mount connector component 200f, solder is disposed on the signal electrodes 232, 242, 252, 262 and the ground electrodes 32a, 32b, 32c. Since the surface mount connector component 200f slides on the molten solder, positional shift of the surface mount connector component 200f is prone to occur. On the other hand, solder does not flow easily in areas where solder resist is applied. Therefore, according to the connector conversion component 100f, when viewed along the vertical direction (the normal direction of the mounting surface FS41), solder resist is provided on the mounting surface FS41 around the signal electrodes 232, 242, 252, 262. Therefore, when viewed in the vertical direction (normal direction of the mounting surface FS41), the solder disposed on the signal electrodes 232, 242, 252, and 262 is less likely to flow around them. Furthermore, according to the connector conversion component 100f, when viewed in the vertical direction (normal direction of the mounting surface FS41), solder resist is provided on the mounting surface FS41 around the ground electrodes 32a, 32b, and 32c. Therefore, when viewed in the vertical direction (normal direction of the mounting surface FS41), the solder disposed on the ground electrodes 32a, 32b, and 32c is less likely to flow around them. As a result, according to the connector conversion component 100f, positional misalignment of the surface mount connector component 200f can be suppressed.

[0156] [Other Implementation Methods]

[0157] The connector conversion components involved in this invention are not limited to connector conversion components 100, 100a to 100f, and can be modified within the scope of their essence. Furthermore, the structures of connector conversion components 100, 100a to 100f can be combined arbitrarily. Similarly, the surface mount connector components involved in this invention are not limited to surface mount connector components 200, 200a to 200f, and can be modified within the scope of their essence. Furthermore, the structures of surface mount connector components 200, 200a to 200f can be combined arbitrarily.

[0158] Furthermore, the signal line components are not limited to four or one. There may be one or more signal line components.

[0159] Furthermore, the signal terminal components are not limited to four or one. More than one signal terminal component is acceptable.

[0160] Furthermore, the signal electrodes are not limited to four or one. More than one signal electrode is acceptable.

[0161] Furthermore, the signal terminals are not limited to four or one. More than one signal terminal is acceptable.

[0162] Furthermore, the first riveting part is not limited to four or one. There may be one or more first riveting parts.

[0163] Furthermore, signal electrodes 232, 242, 252, 262 and ground electrodes 32a, 32b, 32c may not necessarily be provided on the mounting surface FS41. In this case, at least one of signal electrodes 232, 242, 252, 262 and ground electrodes 32a, 32b, 32c may be provided on the mounting surface FS41.

[0164] Furthermore, the first grounding terminal member 3 may not be exposed from the block portion 42. That is, the main body portion 33 may not have the first portion P1 provided on the upper surface S1. In addition, the main body portion 33 may not have the second portion P2 provided on the front surface S2.

[0165] Furthermore, the first riveting portions 53, 54, 55, and 56 may also include first riveting portions that overlap when viewed in the vertical direction (the normal direction of the mounting surface FS41). In this case, the signal line components 300, 400, 500, and 600 include signal line components arranged in the vertical direction. This allows for a reduction in the lateral length of the connector conversion component 100.

[0166] Furthermore, the first riveting portions 53, 54, 55, and 56 may also include first riveting portions that overlap when viewed in the left-right direction. In this case, the signal line components 300, 400, 500, and 600 include signal line components arranged in the left-right direction. This allows for a reduction in the vertical length of the block portion 42. Consequently, the vertical length of the connector conversion component 100 can be reduced.

[0167] Furthermore, wiring portions 231, 241, 251, and 261 may not need to be electrically connected to conductors 301, 401, 501, and 601 via solder, respectively. For example, wiring portions 231, 241, 251, and 261 may each have a rear end with a predetermined gap. In this case, conductors 301, 401, 501, and 601 may be riveted to be clamped within the predetermined gaps of wiring portions 231, 241, 251, and 261, respectively. As a result, wiring portions 231, 241, 251, and 261 can also be electrically connected to conductors 301, 401, 501, and 601, respectively. In this case, the same effect as connector conversion parts 100, 100a to 100c can be achieved.

[0168] More specifically, in the connector described in Patent Document 1, the socket electrically connected to the center conductor is made of a single component. Specifically, the socket is made of a single metal plate. Considering the processability of the metal plate, in the case of the connector described in Patent Document 1, the socket is made of a single component, making it difficult to obtain the desired characteristic impedance. In the connector conversion component and connector according to one aspect of the present invention, the socket portion, equivalent to the connector described in Patent Document 1, is made of two components. Specifically, for example, the first ground terminal component 3 and the signal terminal 130, which are electrically connected to conductor 301, are made of two components. In the connector conversion component and connector according to one aspect of the present invention, the first ground terminal component 3 and the signal terminal 130 can be made independently, thus easily obtaining the desired characteristic impedance. As a result, even when the various wiring portions 231, 241, 251, 261 are not electrically connected to conductors 301, 401, 501, 601 via solder, high-frequency characteristics can be improved.
