List of literature on patent literature

[0003] Patent literature 1: Japanese, unexamined patent publication JP 2018-006 183 A

[0004] JP 2003- 297 493 A discloses a coaxial connector which achieves impedance matching in the connector with lower transmission loss of a signal due to reflection and exhibits good connectivity to a coaxial cable.This coaxial connector is constructed such that a crimp part, which is a connecting part of a signal conductor and an inner conductor terminal, is exposed when the inner conductor terminal, which is crimped and connected to the signal conductor of the coaxial cable, has previously been inserted into the interior of an outer conductor terminal using an intermediate space (opening part) in which a top surface of the outer conductor terminal is open, by providing a suitable protruding wall to reduce the diameter of the opening part on the side of an exposed crimp part on an inner bottom surface of the opening part, matching the characteristic impedance of the connector near the crimp part, and closing the opening part with a shielding body.

[0005] JP H07-254454A discloses a shielded electrical connector for establishing an electrical connection between connectors and providing a highly reliable shielded electrical connector for electrical shielding by positioning a terminal support block through the closing of a rear shell. A front portion of a retaining block for holding a terminal accommodates a front shell. The rear shells are designed such that a pivoting hook at their front end engages in a slot in the shell. The rear shell is provided with a front pressure arm that, when closed, presses against a rear portion of the terminal support block, and a rear pressure arm is designed to push forward and engage a vertical slot in the rear shell. The rear shell is pushed forward to establish a secure electrical connection with the front shell.

[0006] JP 2007-280 850 A describes a metal connector in which a tongue and a stabilizer can be protected from unintentional deformation when metal connectors come into contact with each other and a stabilizer of one of the metal connectors penetrates or becomes entangled in a slot of the other metal connector. A stabilizer is provided on an outer conductor of a shielding connector intended for use in conjunction with a shielding cable, the extended end of which is bent halfway over so that it points towards one side of a main body.Even if the shielding connections (the outer conductors) come into contact with each other during transport, one end of the stabilizer becomes thicker due to the folded end compared to a conventional stabilizer and hardly penetrates or gets caught in the slot of the other conductor, thus preventing unintentional deformation of the tongue piece and the stabilizer. Summary of the invention: Problem that the invention seeks to solve

[0007] In the technology according to the Japanese unexamined patent publication JP 2018-006 183 A, the outer conductor is configured such that an upper outer conductor and a lower outer conductor can be assembled together. Therefore, if aligning the upper and lower outer conductors takes time, the efficiency of assembling them is reduced, and the overall efficiency of the connector assembly may be reduced.

Embodiments of the invention [Description of embodiments of the present disclosure]

[0011] First, embodiments of the present disclosure are listed and described. (1) The present disclosure discloses a connector to be connected to an end part of a cable in which an outer circumference of an electrical wire is covered with a shielding body, comprising: a first outer conductor, and a second outer conductor which is assembled with the first outer conductor, wherein the first outer conductor and the second outer conductor cover a dielectric body in which an inner conductor which is connected to the electrical wire is received, in a state where the first outer conductor and the second outer conductor are assembled, and one of the first outer conductor and the second outer conductor has a positioning projection.has a projection which is designed to project towards the other of the first outer conductor and the second outer conductor, and the other of the first outer conductor and the second outer conductor has a positioning depression or recess which is designed to engage with the positioning projection.

[0012] According to the configuration described above, the positioning projection or extension and the positioning recess or indentation engage with each other, thus improving the efficiency of assembling the first and second outer conductors. This, in turn, improves the efficiency of assembling the connector.

[0013] (2) According to the invention, the second outer conductor is assembled with the outer surface of the first outer conductor, the positioning projection on the first outer conductor is designed to project outwards, the positioning recess is designed on the second outer conductor, and the positioning recess is a slot which extends in an assembly direction in which the first outer conductor and the second outer conductor are assembled.

[0014] According to the configuration described above, during the assembly of the first and second outer conductors, the worker uses the positioning projection or extension, which is designed to protrude outwards, as a marker and can then assemble the second outer conductor with the first. This improves the efficiency of the assembly process for the first and second outer conductors, thereby further improving the efficiency of the connector assembly.

[0015] (3) According to the invention, the second outer conductor includes a crimping piece which is crimped onto an outer circumference of the first outer conductor and forms a side edge of the crimping piece an opening edge of the slot.

[0016] According to the above configuration, since the positioning of the crimping piece can be carried out reliably, the assembly accuracy of the first outer conductor and the second outer conductor can be improved.

[0017] (4) Preferably the first outer conductor and the second outer conductor are received in the housing in the assembled state, the second outer conductor includes a stabilizer which engages with the housing, and a side edge or rim of the stabilizer forms an opening edge or rim of the slot.

[0018] According to the above configuration, since the positioning of the stabilizer or stabilizing device can be carried out reliably, the assembly accuracy of the housing with the first outer conductor and the second outer conductor can be improved.

[0019] (5) Preferably the stabilizer includes a folded section in which a tip end part of the stabilizer is folded, and the folded section is or is inserted into a guide groove which is formed in the housing.

[0020] Since the tolerance or clearance of an engagement between the stabilizer and the housing can be increased, the assembly accuracy of the housing with the first outer conductor and the second outer conductor can be further improved. [Details of an embodiment of the present disclosure]

[0021] A specific example of a connector of the present disclosure is described with reference to the following drawings. It should be noted that the present disclosure is not limited to these illustrations and is intended to be represented by claims and to include all modifications in the scope of claims and in the meaning and scope of equivalents. <Erste Ausführungsform>

[0022] A first embodiment in the present disclosure is described with reference to Fig. Figures 1 to 10 are described. In this embodiment, a connector device 1 for communication is illustrated, which is installed, for example, in a vehicle (not shown), such as a motor vehicle, and is arranged in a path or route of wired communication between an electrical component located in the vehicle (vehicle navigation system, monitor, etc.) and an external device (camera, etc.) or between electrical components in the vehicle. [Connector device 1]

[0023] As this is in Fig. As shown in Figure 1, a connector device 1 comprises a receiving or socket connector 110 (an example of a connector) and a receiving or plug connector 10 (an example of a connector), which are fitted together in a state in which they are connected by a cable 11. In the following description, a vertical direction is referred to as a vertical direction in Fig. 1 shall be described, and a front side in a forward-backward direction shall be described as a side where the socket connector 110 and the plug connector 10 are fitted to each other with reference to the fitting direction thereof. [Cable 11]

[0024] As this is in Fig. As shown in Figure 2, the cable 11 comprises two electrical wires (example of an electrical wire) 12, a shielding body 15, which is represented or formed by a stranded wire, for jointly covering the outer circumferences of the electrical wires 12, and a sheath or casing 16, which is represented or formed by an insulating coating for further covering the outer circumference of the shielding body 15. The stranded wire is produced by braiding a plurality of fibrous conductors. The conductors that represent or form the stranded wire can be thin metallic wires, or can be formed by adhering a metal to the surface of a fiber made of synthetic or resin, and any conductor can be selected. The shielding body 15 according to the present embodiment is woven with a plurality of thin metallic wires.

[0025] As this is in Fig. As shown in Figure 2, the sheath 16 is stripped or removed from the front end of the cable 11, and the two electrical wires 12, which are exposed from the ends of the sheath 16 and the shielding body 15, are exposed. On the rear side of the exposed electrical wires 12 in the cable 11, the shielding body 15, which is exposed from the end of the sheath 16, is folded onto an end part of the sheath 16.

[0026] A sleeve or bushing 17, made of metal, is arranged inside the shielding body 15, which is folded onto the end part of the casing 16. The sleeve 17 is formed in a hollow cylindrical shape. [Buckle connector 110]

[0027] As this is in Fig. 1 and Fig. As shown in Figure 2, the socket connector 110 comprises a plurality of receiving inner conductors or socket inner conductors 120 (an example of an inner conductor) which are connected to the two electrical wires 12 which are exposed at the front end of the cable 11, a receiving dielectric body or dielectric socket body 130 which receives the plurality of receiving inner conductors or inner conductors 120, a receiving outer conductor or socket outer conductor 150 which is or will be connected to the shielding body 15 of the cable 11 while the receiving dielectric body 130 is covered, and a receiving socket housing 180 which receives the receiving outer conductor 150. [Receiving inner conductor 120]

[0028] The receiving inner conductor 120 is formed by processing a sheet material of a conductive metal. How this is done in Fig. As shown in Figure 1, the receiving inner conductor or inner socket conductor 120 includes a terminal connecting section or terminal-connecting section 122 in the form of a rectangular or right-angled tube and a section 124 connecting an electrical wire, which is connected to a rear side of the terminal connecting section 122.

[0029] Section 122, which connects the terminal, is electrically connected to an inner conductor or plug inner conductor 20 (an example of an inner conductor) of the connector 10, which is to be described below. Section 124, which connects the electrical wire, is electrically connected to the electrical wire 12 by being crimped onto the front end of the electrical wire 12. [Receiving dielectric body 130]

[0030] As this is in Fig. As shown in Figure 2, the receiving dielectric body or dielectric socket body 130 is formed from an insulating synthetic resin in a rectangular parallelepiped shape, which is long in a forward-backward direction. Inside the receiving dielectric body 130, two receiving inner conductors 120, which are connected to the electrical wires 12, are held side by side in a lateral direction. [Receiving outer conductor 150]

[0031] As this is in Fig. As shown in Figure 2, the receiving outer conductor or socket outer conductor 150 comprises a first receiving outer conductor 151 (an example of a first outer conductor) and a second receiving outer conductor 160 (an example of a second outer conductor), which is assembled with the first receiving outer conductor. The first receiving outer conductor 151 and the second receiving outer conductor 160 are formed by pressing a sheet material of a conductive metal into a predetermined shape. The second receiving outer conductor 160 is assembled with the first receiving outer conductor 151 from above.

[0032] As this is in Fig. As shown in Figure 3, the first receiving outer conductor 151 includes a tubular connecting or connection section 152, which can be fitted together with the receiving outer conductor 50 of the plug connector 10, which is to be described below, and a receiving shield connecting section or socket shield connecting section 156, which is connected to the shield body 15 of the cable 11.

[0033] The tubular connecting section 152 is formed in the shape of a rectangular or right-angled tube, which is long in the forward-backward direction. The receiving dielectric body 130 can be inserted into the tubular connecting section 152 from the rear. When the receiving dielectric body 130 is inserted into the tubular connecting section 152, the receiving inner conductor 120 is in a state in which it is electrically insulated from the tubular connecting section 152 by the receiving dielectric body 130, as is the case in Fig. 1 is shown.

[0034] As this is in Fig. As shown in Figure 3, receiving positioning projections or bushing positioning projections (examples of positioning projections or extensions) 157, which project outwards, are formed on a left and right side wall of the tubular connecting section 152. The receiving positioning projections 157 have a substantially hollow cylindrical shape.

[0035] The section 156 connecting the receiving shield is formed in a plate shape, which extends backwards from a lower end part on a lower side of the tubular connecting section 152. The section 156 connecting the receiving shield is arranged below the shield body 15 in the cable 11, as shown in Fig. 1 is shown. [Second receiving outer conductor 160]

[0036] The second receiving outer conductor, or second socket outer conductor 160, is formed by processing a sheet of conductive metal using a press or similar device. As this is described in Fig. As shown in Figure 2, the second receiving outer conductor 160 includes a covering section 161, which is to be assembled with the outer circumference of the tubular connecting section 152, and a receiving or bushing drum 163, which is crimped onto the outer circumference of the shielding body 15.

[0037] As this is in Fig. 4, Fig. 5 and Fig. As shown in Figure 6, the covering section 161 is wound around an outer circumferential surface of the tubular connecting section 152. The covering section 161 includes an upper wall 164 and side walls 165, which extend downwards from the left and right side edges of the upper wall 164. On the side wall 165, a receiving or bushing stabilizer 166 (an example of a stabilizer or stabilizing device), a receiving or bushing slot 167 (an example of a positioning recess or recess), and a receiving crimping piece 168 (an example of a crimping piece) are formed in this order from the front to the back.

[0038] The receiving stabilizer 166, which extends downwards, is formed at a position of the lower end portion of the side wall 165 closer to the front end portion. The receiving stabilizer 166 is formed in the form of a plate that extends downwards in a long and thin shape. A lower end portion of the receiving stabilizer 166 is considered to be a receiving folded section or folded bushing section (an example of a folded section) 169, which is folded upwards to overlap the outer surface of the receiving stabilizer 166.

[0039] Behind the receiving stabilizer 166, the receiving slot 167 is formed to extend upwards from the lower end portion of the side wall 165. A rear edge or rear margin of the receiving stabilizer 166 forms a front opening edge or front opening margin for the receiving slot 167.

[0040] Behind the receiving slot 167, the receiving crimping piece 168 is formed to extend from the lower end portion of the side wall 165. In the state before the second receiving outer conductor 160 is assembled with the first receiving outer conductor 151, as shown in Fig. As shown in Figure 2, the receiving crimping piece or bushing crimp piece 168 extends downwards from the lower end part of the side wall.

[0041] As this is in Fig. As shown in Figure 5, the receiving crimping piece 168 is crimped to wind around the lower part of the tubular connecting section 152, and in this way the second receiving outer conductor 160 and the first receiving outer conductor 151 are integrally assembled. A front edge of the receiving crimping piece 168 forms a rear opening edge of the receiving slot 167.

[0042] A width dimension of the receiving slot 167 in the forward-backward direction is equal to or slightly larger than a dimension of an outer diameter of the receiving positioning projection 157. In this way, the receiving positioning projection 157 is received in the receiving slot 167.

[0043] When the second receiving outer conductor 160 is assembled from an upper side of the first receiving outer conductor 151, the receiving positioning projection 157 is inserted into the receiving slot 167, thereby aligning the second receiving outer conductor 160 and the first receiving outer conductor. Furthermore, when the receiving crimping piece 168 is crimped onto the tubular connecting section 152, there is a case where both or one of the first receiving outer conductor and the second receiving outer conductor can extend in the forward-backward direction.At this point, when the receiving positioning projection 157 comes into contact with the opening edge of the receiving slot 167 in the forward-backward direction, a positional misalignment of the second receiving outer conductor 160 and the first receiving outer conductor 151 in the forward-backward direction is prevented.

[0044] As this is in Fig. As shown in Figure 1, the receiving or socket drum 163 is crimped onto the outer circumference of the shielding body 15, which is folded into the cable 11, and is thus electrically connected to and fixed to the shielding body 15. In other words, the receiving drum 163, together with the section 156 connecting the receiving shield, is crimped and fixed in order to be wrapped around the shielding body 15 of the cable 11. [Receiving or socket housing 180]

[0045] The receiving or socket housing 180 is made of a synthetic or artificial resin and includes a housing section 182 which receives the receiving outer conductor 150 from the rear, as shown in Fig. Figure 1 shows the receiving or housing section 182, which is designed to allow passage in the forward-backward direction. A lance 183, which is to be fitted into a lance hole 161A provided in the receiving outer conductor 150, is provided inside the housing section 182.

[0046] The lance 183 is or will be fitted into the lance hole 161A, as shown in Fig. Figure 1 shows the receiving outer conductor 150 being received at a regular housing position of the housing section 182. Therefore, the lance 183 and an edge portion of the lance hole 161A are locked, and thus the receiving outer conductor 150 is held in the receiving housing 180.

[0047] As this is in Fig. As shown in Figure 7, a receiving or bushing guide groove 170 (an example of a guide groove or slot) is formed in the housing section 182 at a position corresponding to the receiving folded section 169 of the receiving stabilizer 166, extending in the forward-backward direction. An inner shape or form of the receiving guide groove 170 is configured to be larger than an outer shape of the receiving stabilizer 166, which includes the receiving folded section 169. The receiving folded section 169 comes into contact with the inner surface of the receiving guide groove 170, and thus relative positioning of the receiving or bushing housing 180 and the receiving outer conductor 150 is achieved. [To be received or connector 10]

[0048] As this is in Fig. 1 and Fig. As shown in Figure 8, the connector 10 comprises a plurality of inner conductors 20, which are connected to the two electrical wires 12 exposed at the front end of the cable 11; a dielectric body 30, which receives the plurality of inner conductors 20; an outer conductor 50, which is connected to the cable 11 while the dielectric body 30 is covered; and a connector housing 80, which receives the outer conductor 50. [Inner conductor to be absorbed 20]

[0049] The inner conductor or plug inner conductor 20 to be received is formed by processing a sheet of conductive metal. How this is done in Fig. As shown in Figure 1, the inner conductor 20 to be received includes a connecting section or plug-connecting section 22 in the form of a pin or plug, a box section 23 which is connected to a rear end part of the connecting section 22 which has a rectangular or right-angled parallelepiped shape which is long in the forward-backward direction, and a section 24 connecting an electrical wire which is connected to a rear side of the box section 23.

[0050] As this is in Fig. As shown in Figure 1, the connecting section 22 to be received is electrically connected to the receiving inner conductor 120 by entering the interior of the connecting section 122 within the receiving inner conductor 120 of the receiving or socket connector 110 from the front. The connecting section 24 to the electrical wire is crimped onto the front end of the electrical wire 12 and is electrically connected to the electrical wire 12. [Dielectric body to be recorded 30]

[0051] As this is in Fig. As shown in Figure 8, the dielectric body or dielectric plug body 30 to be received is made of an insulating synthetic or artificial resin and is formed in a rectangular parallelepiped shape or form which is long in the forward-backward direction.

[0052] Inside the dielectric body 30 to be received, two inner conductors or plug inner conductors 20, which are connected to the electrical wires 12, are received side by side in the lateral direction. When the inner conductor 20 is received inside the dielectric body 30, the connecting section or plug connection section 22 is in such a state that it projects from a front wall of the dielectric body 30. [Outer conductor to be received 50]

[0053] As this is in Fig. As shown in Figure 1, the outer conductor to be received, or plug outer conductor 50, can be fitted or matched with the receiving outer conductor 150 of the socket connector 110. As shown in Figure 1, the outer conductor to be received, or plug outer conductor 50, can be fitted or matched with the receiving outer conductor 150 of the socket connector 110. Fig. As shown in Figure 8, the outer conductor 50 to be received consists of a first outer conductor 51 (an example of a first outer conductor) for receiving the dielectric body 30 to be received inside and a second outer conductor 60 (an example of a second outer conductor) which is assembled with the first outer conductor 51 to cover the outer circumferences of the first outer conductor 51 and the shielding body 15 of the cable 11. [First outer conductor to be recorded 51]

[0054] The first outer conductor to be incorporated, or the first connector outer conductor 51, is formed by processing a sheet of conductive metal. How this is done in Fig. 8 and Fig. As shown in Figure 9, the first outer conductor 51 to be received includes a connecting or connecting tube section 52 in the form of a rectangular or right-angled tube, which is essentially rectangular in a front view, and a connecting section or plug-shield connecting section 56 for a shield to be received, which is provided on the lower rear end edge of the connecting tube section 52.

[0055] As this is in Fig. 4, Fig. 5 and Fig. As shown in Figure 6, the front part of the connecting pipe section 52 is a large-diameter pipe section 53 into which the tubular connecting section 152 of the receiving outer conductor 150 of the socket connector 110 is fitted. A rear side of the large-diameter pipe section 53 is arranged coaxially to the large-diameter pipe section 53 and is a small-diameter pipe section 54, which has a smaller diameter than the large-diameter pipe section 53.

[0056] As this is in Fig. 4, Fig. 5 and Fig. As shown in Figure 6, the small-diameter pipe section 54 is designed to have the same diameter as the tubular connecting section 152 of the receiving outer conductor 150. Here, the expression "the small-diameter pipe section 54 and the tubular connecting section 152 have the same diameter" means a case where the small-diameter pipe section 54 and the tubular connecting section 152 actually have the same diameter, and a case where they can be considered to have substantially the same diameter even if the small-diameter pipe section 54 and the tubular connecting section 152 do not have the same diameter. Therefore, the connecting pipe section 52 is narrower overall from a central or mid-section to a rear section compared to a front section. Positioning projections to be received, or...Projections 57 (examples of positioning projections) are formed on a left and right side wall of the small-diameter tube section 54 to project outwards. The positioning projections or plug-positioning projections 57 to be received have a substantially hollow cylindrical shape.

[0057] Since the positioning projections 57 to be received are formed on the pipe section 54 with a small diameter, the outer conductor or outer plug conductor 50 to be received can be miniaturized compared to a case where the positioning projections 57 to be received are formed on the pipe section 53 with a large diameter.

[0058] The dielectric body 30 to be received can be received from the rear inside the connecting tube section 52. When the dielectric body 30 to be received is received from the rear inside the connecting tube section 52, the rear portion of the inner conductor 20 to be received is received by the box section 23 in a state in which it is electrically insulated from the small-diameter tube section 54 by the dielectric body 30 to be received, and the connecting section 22 to be received is received in the large-diameter tube section 53 in a state in which it protrudes from the dielectric body 30 to be received, as is the case in Fig. 1 is shown.

[0059] The section 56 connecting the shielding to be received is formed in a plate shape, which extends backwards from a lower end part on a lower side of the connecting tube section 52. The section 56 connecting the shielding to be received is arranged below the shielding body 15 in the cable 11, as shown in Fig. 1 is shown. [Second outer conductor to be installed 60]

[0060] The second outer conductor to be incorporated, or second connector outer conductor 60, is formed by processing a sheet of conductive metal material using a press or similar device. How this is done in Fig. As shown in Figure 8, the second outer conductor 60 to be received includes a covering section 61, which is to be assembled with the outer circumference of the small diameter tube section 54, and a connector drum 63, which is crimped onto the outer circumference of the shielding body 15.

[0061] The covering section 61 is or is wound around an outer circumferential surface of the small-diameter pipe section 54 to surround the outer circumferential surface of the small-diameter pipe section 54. When the covering section 61 is or is assembled with the outer circumferential surface of the small-diameter pipe section 54, the covering section 61 is configured to have the same diameter as the large-diameter pipe section 53, as shown in Fig. 4, Fig. 5 and Fig. Figure 6 is shown. Here, the expression "the covering section 61 and the large-diameter pipe section 53 have the same diameter" means a case where the covering section 61 and the large-diameter pipe section 53 have the same diameter, and a case where they can be considered to have substantially the same diameter even if the covering section 61 and the large-diameter pipe section 53 do not have the same diameter. A passage hole 61A, into which a connection-locking section or connection-locking section 83 of a receiving or plug housing 80, which is to be described below, is fitted, is formed on an upper part of the covering section 61 to penetrate the covering section 61 in the vertical direction.

[0062] As this is in Fig. 4, Fig. 5 and Fig. As shown in Figure 6, the covering section 61 includes an upper wall 64 and side walls 65, which extend downwards from a left and right side edge of the upper wall 64. On the side wall 65, a stabilizer or connector stabilizer 66 (an example of a stabilizer or stabilizing device), a connector slot 67 (an example of a positioning recess or recess), and a crimping piece or connector crimp 68 (an example of a crimping piece) are formed in this order from the front to the back.

[0063] The stabilizer 66 to be incorporated, which extends downwards, is formed at a position of the lower end part of the side wall 65 closer to the front end part. The stabilizer 66 to be incorporated is formed in the shape of a plate, which extends downwards in a long and thin form. A lower end part of the stabilizer 66 to be incorporated is considered to be a folded section (an example of a folded section) 69 to be incorporated, which is folded upwards to overlap the outer surface of the stabilizer 66 to be incorporated.

[0064] Behind the stabilizer 66 to be received, the slot 67 to be received or plugged in is formed to extend upwards from the lower end part of the side wall 65. A rear edge of the stabilizer 66 to be received forms a front opening edge or edge of a front opening of the slot 67 to be received.

[0065] Behind the slot 67 to be received, the crimping piece 68 to be received is formed to extend from the lower end part of the side wall 65. In the state before the second outer conductor 60 to be received is assembled with the first outer conductor 51 to be received, as shown in Fig. As shown in Figure 8, the crimping piece 68 to be received extends downwards from the lower end part of the side wall.

[0066] As this is in Fig. As shown in Figure 5, the crimping piece 68 to be received is crimped to wrap around the lower part of the small-diameter pipe section 54, and in this way the second outer conductor 60 and the first outer conductor 51 to be received are integrally or integrally assembled. A front edge of the crimping piece 68 to be received forms a rear opening edge of the slot 67 to be received.

[0067] The width dimension of the slot 67 to be received in the forward-backward direction is equal to or slightly larger than the outer diameter dimension of the positioning projection 57 to be received. The positioning projection 57 is received in the slot 67 in this manner.

[0068] When the second outer conductor 60 is assembled from the upper side of the first outer conductor 51, the positioning projection 57 is inserted into the slot 67, thereby aligning the second and first outer conductors. Furthermore, when the crimping piece 68 is crimped onto the small-diameter pipe section 54, there is a case where both or one of the first and second outer conductors may extend in the forward-backward direction.At this point, when the positioning projection 57 to be recorded comes into contact with the opening edge of the slot 67 to be recorded in the forward-backward direction, a positional misalignment of the second outer conductor 60 and the first outer conductor 51 to be recorded in the forward-backward direction is prevented.

[0069] As this is in Fig. As shown in Figure 1, the drum 63 to be mounted is crimped onto the outer circumference of the shielding body 15, which is folded inside the cable 11, and is thus electrically connected to and fixed to the shielding body 15. In other words, the drum 63 to be mounted is connected to the shielding body 15 of the cable 11 together with the section 56 connecting the shielding. [To be recorded or connector housing 80]

[0070] The connector housing 80 is made of a synthetic resin and includes a housing section 82 which receives the outer conductor 50 from the rear. As shown in Fig. As shown in Figure 1, the receiving or housing section 82 is designed to allow passage in the forward-backward direction. The locking section 83, which fits into the through-hole 61A provided in the covering section 61, is located inside the housing section 82.

[0071] The locking section 83 is or will be fitted into the through-hole 61A, as shown in Fig. Figure 1 shows the external conductor 50 being received when it is received at a regular receiving or housing position of the housing section 82. Therefore, the locking section 83 and an edge portion of the through-hole 61A are locked, and thus the external conductor 50 is held in the connector housing 80.

[0072] As this is in Fig.As shown in Figure 10, a guide groove 70 (an example of a guide groove) is formed in the housing section 82 at a position corresponding to the folded section 69 of the stabilizer 66 to be received, in order to extend in the forward-backward direction. An inner shape of the guide groove 70 is designed to be larger than an outer shape of the stabilizer 66, which includes the folded section 69. The folded section 69 comes into contact with the inner surface of the guide groove 70, and thus a relative positioning of the connector housing 80 and the outer conductor 50 is achieved. [Operational effects of the present embodiment]

[0073] The following describes the operational and actuation effects of the present embodiment. The technology disclosed herein is applied to the receiving connector 10 and the receiving socket connector 110, which constitute the connector device 1.

[0074] The present embodiment provides the connector 10, which is connected to one end of a cable 11 in which the outer circumference of an electrical wire 12 is covered by a shielding body 15. The connector 10 comprises: a first outer conductor 51, and a second outer conductor 60, which is assembled with the first outer conductor 51. The first outer conductor 51 and the second outer conductor 60 cover a dielectric body 30, in which an inner conductor 20, connected to the electrical wire 12, is enclosed, in a state where the first outer conductor 51 and the second outer conductor 60 are assembled.One of the first outer conductor 51 and the second outer conductor 60 to be received has a receiving positioning projection or plug positioning projection 57, which is designed to project towards the other one of the first outer conductor 51 and the second outer conductor 60 to be received, and the other one of the first outer conductor 51 and the second outer conductor 60 to be received has a receiving or plug slot 67, which is designed to engage with the receiving positioning projection or extension 57.

[0075] The present embodiment provides the receiving or socket connector 110, which is connected to one end of a cable 11 in which the outer circumference of an electrical wire 12 is covered by a shielding body 15. The socket connector 110 comprises: a first receiving outer conductor or first socket outer conductor 151; and a second receiving outer conductor or second socket outer conductor 160, which is or will be assembled with the first receiving outer conductor 151. The first receiving outer conductor 151 and the second receiving outer conductor 160 cover a receiving dielectric body or socket dielectric body in which a receiving inner conductor or socket inner conductor, which is connected to the electrical wire 12, is received, in a state where the first receiving outer conductor 151 and the second receiving outer conductor 160 are assembled.One of the first receiving outer conductor 151 and the second receiving outer conductor 160 has a receiving positioning projection or socket positioning projection 157, which is configured to project towards the other one of the first receiving outer conductor 151 and the second receiving outer conductor 160, and the other one of the first receiving outer conductor 151 and the second receiving outer conductor 160 has a receiving or socket slot 167, which is configured to engage with the receiving positioning projection or socket positioning projection 157.

This improves the assembly efficiency of the plug connector 10. Similarly, the receiving positioning projection 157 and the receiving slot 167 are engaged with each other, thereby improving the efficiency of assembling the first outer conductor 151 and the second outer conductor 160. This improves the assembly efficiency of the socket connector 110.

[0078] In the socket connector 110 according to the present embodiment, the second receiving outer conductor 160 is assembled on or with the outside of the first receiving outer conductor 151, the receiving positioning projection 157 is formed on the first receiving outer conductor 151 to project outwards, and the second outer conductor is formed with a receiving slot 167 which extends in an assembly direction in which the first receiving outer conductor 151 and the second receiving outer conductor 160 are or are assembled.

[0079] According to the configuration described above, during the assembly of the first outer conductor 51 and the second outer conductor 60, the worker uses the positioning projection 57, which is designed to project outwards, as a marker and can assemble the second outer conductor 60 with the first outer conductor 51. In this way, the efficiency of the assembly of the first outer conductor 51 and the second outer conductor 60 can be improved, thus further improving the efficiency of the assembly of the connector 10.Similarly, in the assembly of the first receiving outer conductor 151 and the second receiving outer conductor 160, the worker uses the receiving positioning projection 157, which is designed to project outwards, as a marker and can assemble the second receiving outer conductor 160 with the first receiving outer conductor 151. In this way, the efficiency of the assembly of the first receiving outer conductor 151 and the second receiving outer conductor 160 can be improved, thus further improving the efficiency of the assembly of the socket connector 110.

[0080] In the connector 10 according to the present embodiment, the second outer conductor 60 to be received includes a crimping piece or connector crimping piece 68 to be received, which is crimped onto an outer circumference of the first outer conductor 51 to be received, and a side edge or side margin of the crimping piece 68 to be received forms an opening edge or opening margin of the connector slot 67 to be received.

[0081] In the socket connector 110 according to the present embodiment, the second receiving outer conductor 160 includes a receiving crimping piece or socket crimp piece 168, which is crimped onto an outer circumference of the first receiving outer conductor 151, and a side edge or side margin of the receiving crimping piece 168 forms an opening edge or opening margin of the receiving socket slot 167.

[0082] According to the configuration above, since the positioning of the crimping piece 68 to be received can be carried out reliably, the assembly accuracy of the first outer conductor 51 and the second outer conductor 60 to be received can be improved. Similarly, since the positioning of the crimping piece 168 to be received can be carried out reliably, the assembly accuracy of the first outer conductor 151 and the second outer conductor 160 to be received can be improved.

[0083] In the connector 10 according to the present embodiment, the first outer conductor 51 and the second outer conductor 60 are received in the connector housing 80 in the assembled state, the second outer conductor 60 includes a connector stabilizer 66 which engages with the connector housing 80, and a side edge of the stabilizer 66 forms an opening edge of the connector slot 67.

[0084] In the socket connector 110 according to the present embodiment, the first receiving outer conductor 151 and the second receiving outer conductor 160 are received in the socket housing 180 in the assembled state, the second receiving outer conductor 160 includes a receiving or socket stabilizer 166 which engages with the receiving or socket housing 180, and a side edge or rim of the receiving stabilizer 166 forms an opening edge or rim of the receiving or socket slot 167.

[0085] According to the configuration above, since the positioning of the receiving or connector stabilizer 66 can be carried out reliably, the assembly accuracy of the connector housing 80 with the first receiving outer conductor 51 and the second receiving outer conductor 60 can be improved. Similarly, since the positioning of the receiving or socket stabilizer 166 can be carried out reliably, the assembly accuracy of the socket housing 180 with the first receiving outer conductor 151 and the second receiving outer conductor 160 can be improved.

[0088] Since the engagement tolerance between the connector stabilizer 66 and the connector housing 80 can be increased, the assembly accuracy of the connector housing 80 with the first outer conductor 51 and the second outer conductor 60 can be further improved. Similarly, since the engagement tolerance between the socket stabilizer 166 and the socket housing 180 can be increased, the assembly accuracy of the socket housing 180 with the first outer conductor 151 and the second outer conductor 160 can be further improved. <Andere Ausführungsformen> (1) In the above embodiment, the connector 10 is connected to the cable 11, which has two electrical wires 12.
