[Technical field]

[0001] The present disclosure relates to connectors. [Background technology]

[0002] Patent Document 1 discloses a connector with shielding performance. This connector is to be attached to an object to be attached, and includes a terminal portion composed of at least one terminal, a housing that holds the terminal portion, and a shield that shields the terminal portion. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Patent Publication No. 2021-93244 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] A first object of the present disclosure is to provide a connector with excellent shielding performance. A second object of the present disclosure is to provide a connector capable of suppressing the generation of foreign matter. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] (First aspect) The connector of aspect 1-1 is a connector that is attached to an object to be attached and used, and comprises a terminal portion consisting of at least one terminal, a housing that holds the terminal portion, and a shield that shields the terminal portion, wherein the shield comprises a shield body formed from a single sheet of plate material, and the shield body comprises a main body portion and an adjacent portion adjacent to the main body portion and forming a gap between the main body portion and an adjacent portion, and the connector further comprises an additional shield portion that closes the gap.

[0006] In this aspect, the connector includes a terminal portion, a housing, and a shield. The terminal portion is composed of at least one terminal. The housing holds the terminal portion. The shield shields the terminal portion. The shield includes a shield body formed from a single plate material. The shield body includes a main body portion and an adjacent portion adjacent to the main body portion. Therefore, the adjacent portion provided separately from the main body portion can function as a held portion that is held in the housing, or as a part that extends the connection portion that is connected to the object to be attached.

[0007] However, in this embodiment, a gap is formed between the main body portion and the adjacent portion, which may lead to a decrease in shielding performance. Therefore, in this aspect, the connector further includes an additional shield portion that closes the above-mentioned gap. This makes it possible to realize a connector with excellent shielding performance.

[0008] In the embodiment described later, the additional shield portion is provided as a part of the shield body, but the additional shield portion of the present embodiment is not limited to this. The additional shield portion of the present embodiment may be provided as a separate body from the shield body. In the embodiment described later, the adjacent portion is a held portion that is press-fitted into the housing and held therein, but the adjacent portion in this aspect is not limited to this. The adjacent portion in this aspect may be a held portion that is held in the housing by a method other than press-fitting. Also, the adjacent portion in this aspect does not have to be a held portion that is held in the housing. In the embodiment described below, the adjacent portion is a portion from which the connecting portion extends, but the adjacent portion in this embodiment is not limited to this. In the embodiment described below, the shield has a connection portion, but the shield of this aspect is not limited to this. In the embodiment described below, the additional shield portion closes the gap between the main portion and the adjacent portion from the outside, but it may close it from the inside. In the embodiment described later, the additional shield part has an overlapping part, but the additional shield part of this embodiment is not limited to this. The additional shield part may not have an overlapping part, and a small gap may be formed between the additional shield part and the main body part (first shield part).

[0009] The connector according to aspect 1-2 is the connector of aspect 1-1, wherein the additional shield portion is provided as a part of the shield body.

[0010] In this aspect, the additional shield portion is provided as a part of the shield body. Therefore, compared to a configuration in which the additional shield portion is provided as a separate body from the shield body, an increase in the number of parts can be suppressed.

[0011] The connector according to aspect 1-3 is the connector of aspect 1-1 or 1-2, wherein the additional shield portion closes both of two gaps formed on both sides of the adjacent portion.

[0012] In this embodiment, the additional shield portion closes both of the two gaps formed on either side of the adjacent portion. Therefore, a connector with superior shielding performance can be realized, compared to a configuration in which the additional shielding portion covers only one of the two gaps.

[0013] The connector of aspect 1-4 is in aspect 1-1 or 1-2, wherein the main body portion comprises a first shield portion extending in a first direction which is an in-plane direction of the mounting surface of the mounting object, and a second shield portion extending in a second direction which is an in-plane direction of the mounting surface and perpendicular to the first direction, and the gaps formed are a first gap between the first shield portion and the adjacent portion, and a second gap between the second shield portion and the adjacent portion, and the additional shield portion blocks both the first gap and the second gap.

[0014] In this aspect, the main body portion includes a first shield portion and a second shield portion. The first shield portion extends in a first direction. The second shield portion extends in a second direction. Therefore, a connector with superior shielding performance can be realized compared to a configuration in which the main body includes only one of the first shielding portion and the second shielding portion. As the above-mentioned gap, a first gap is formed between the first shield part and the adjacent part, and a second gap is formed between the second shield part and the adjacent part. Therefore, in this aspect, the additional shield portion closes both the first gap and the second gap. Therefore, a connector with superior shielding performance can be realized compared to a configuration in which the additional shielding portion closes only one of the first gap and the second gap.

[0015] A connector according to aspect 1-5 is a connector according to aspect 1-4, in which the additional shielding portion is provided as part of the shielding body, the thickness direction of the adjacent portion is the same as the thickness direction of the first shielding portion, and the additional shielding portion extends from the second shielding portion.

[0016] In this aspect, the additional shield portion is provided as a part of the shield body. Therefore, compared to a configuration in which the additional shield portion is provided as a separate body from the shield body, an increase in the number of parts can be suppressed. In this embodiment, the thickness direction of the adjacent portion is the same as the thickness direction of the first shield portion. The additional shield portion extends from the second shield portion. This makes it easy to form the additional shield portion that is provided as part of the shield body.

[0017] A connector according to aspect 1-6 is a connector according to aspect 1-5, in which the shield body is a flat top plate portion having a thickness direction in a third direction that is perpendicular to both the first and second directions, the first shield portion is connected to the top plate portion via one curved portion, the adjacent portion is connected to the top plate portion via one curved portion, and the second shield portion is connected to the top plate portion via one curved portion.

[0018] In this aspect, the shield body includes a flat top plate portion having a plate thickness direction oriented in the third direction. The first shield portion is connected to the top plate portion via one curved portion, the adjacent portion is connected to the top plate portion via one curved portion, and the second shield portion is connected to the top plate portion via one curved portion. Therefore, the first shield part, the adjacent part and the second shield part are all connected to the top plate part via one curved part, which makes it easier to manufacture the shield body.

[0019] The connector according to aspect 1-7 is, in any of aspects 1-1 to 1-6, the main body portion has a first shield portion extending in a first direction, the housing has a shield body holding portion that holds the shield body, the adjacent portion is a held portion that is held by the shield body holding portion by press-fitting, the adjacent portion is located more inward in a second direction than the first shield portion, a first gap is formed between the first shield portion and the adjacent portion as the gap, and the additional shield portion fills the first gap.

[0020] In this aspect, the main body portion includes a first shield portion extending in a first direction. The housing includes a shield body holding portion that holds the shield body, and the adjacent portion is a held portion that is held by the shield body holding portion by press fitting. Therefore, the adjacent portion is held by the shield holding portion of the housing, whereby the shield can be attached to the housing.

[0021] However, when the adjacent portion is held by the shield holding portion of the housing by press-fitting, it is necessary to form the shield holding portion larger outward in the second direction than the position of the adjacent portion. Forming the shield holding portion larger outward in the second direction leads to an increase in the size of the connector in the second direction. Therefore, in this embodiment, the adjacent portion is located more inward in the second direction than the first shield portion. Therefore, compared to, for example, an embodiment in which the adjacent portion is located at the same position in the second direction as the first shield portion, it is possible to prevent the shield body holding portion of the housing from expanding outward in the second direction.

[0022] Incidentally, when the adjacent portion is located more inward in the second direction than the first shield portion, the first gap between the first shield portion and the adjacent portion is likely to become large. Therefore, in this embodiment, the additional shield portion closes the first gap. This makes it possible to realize a connector with excellent shielding performance.

[0023] In the embodiment described below, the shield body includes a connection portion (portion connected to the mounting surface of the mounting object) extending outward in the second direction from the adjacent portion (held portion). In this aspect, the adjacent portion is located more inward in the second direction than the first shield portion, so that the second direction dimension of the connection portion can be increased while avoiding an increase in the size of the connector in the second direction. However, the shield body of this aspect does not need to include the above-mentioned connection portion. In this case, the cut surface of the lower end of the adjacent portion may be connected to the mounting surface of the mounting object by soldering. Also, the adjacent portion and the mounting object do not need to be connected. In the embodiment described below, the housing includes a fixed housing and a movable housing, but the housing of this aspect is not limited to this. The housing of this aspect may include only a fixed housing and may not include a movable housing.

[0024] A connector according to a 1-8th aspect is a connector in any one of aspects 1-1 to 1-7, wherein the housing comprises a fixed housing fixed to the attachment object and a movable housing movable relative to the fixed housing, the terminal comprises a fixed side held portion held by the fixed housing, a movable side held portion held by the movable housing, and an intermediate elastic portion for allowing movement of the movable housing relative to the fixed housing, the fixed housing extends in a first direction which is an in-plane direction of an attachment surface of the attachment object, and comprises a first wall portion which holds the fixed side held portion, and a second wall portion which is in contact with the first wall portion in the first direction. the intermediate elastic portion is arranged in the space inside the first wall portion in a second direction, which is an in-plane direction of the mounting surface and perpendicular to the first direction, the adjacent portion is a held portion held in the shield body holding portion by press-fitting, the main body portion extends in the first direction and includes a first shield portion covering the first wall portion from the outside in the second direction, the adjacent portion is located inside the first shield portion in the second direction, a first gap is formed between the first shield portion and the adjacent portion as the gap, and the additional shield portion closes the first gap.

[0025] In this aspect, the housing includes a fixed housing fixed to an attachment object and a movable housing movable relative to the fixed housing, and the terminal includes a fixed-side held portion held by the fixed housing, a movable-side held portion held by the movable housing, and a middle elastic portion for allowing movement of the movable housing relative to the fixed housing. The fixed housing further includes a first wall extending in a first direction and a shield body holding portion connected to the first wall portion in the first direction. The first wall portion holds the fixed-side held portion of the terminal. The shield body holding portion holds the shield. Specifically, the adjacent portion of the shield body is a held portion that is held by the shield body holding portion by press-fitting. The intermediate elastic portion is disposed in a space on the inside of the first wall portion in the second direction. The main body portion includes a first shield portion extending in the first direction. The first shield portion covers the first wall portion from the outside in the second direction.

[0026] In this embodiment, the adjacent portion is located more inward in the second direction than the first shield portion. This allows the area occupied by the connector to be reduced while still ensuring space for the intermediate elastic portion of the terminal, compared to when the adjacent portion is positioned at the same position as the first shield portion in the second direction. For example, when changing the position of the first shield part to the inside in the second direction, it is necessary to change the position of the first wall part of the housing to the inside in the second direction. In that case, the space in which the intermediate elastic part of the terminal is arranged becomes smaller. In this embodiment, since the first shield part is positioned outboard in the second direction relative to the adjacent part, it is possible to secure the space in which the intermediate elastic part of the terminal is arranged.

[0027] Incidentally, when the adjacent portion is located more inward in the second direction than the first shield portion, the first gap between the first shield portion and the adjacent portion is likely to become large. Therefore, in this embodiment, the additional shield portion closes the first gap. This makes it possible to realize a connector with excellent shielding performance.

[0028] In the embodiment described later, the shield body includes a connection portion that extends outward in the second direction from the adjacent portion and is connected to the mounting surface. By ensuring the dimension of the connection portion in the second direction, the connection strength of the shield body to the object to which it is attached can be ensured. On the other hand, since the connection portion extends outward in the second direction from the adjacent portion, if the dimension of the connection portion in the second direction is large, the occupied area of ​​the connector may become large. However, in this aspect, since the adjacent portion is located more inward in the second direction than the first shield portion, it is possible to ensure the dimension of the connection portion in the second direction while suppressing the increase in the occupied area of ​​the connector.

[0029] (Second aspect) The connector of the 2-1 aspect is a connector that is attached to an object to be attached and used, and comprises a terminal portion consisting of at least one terminal, a housing that holds the terminal portion, and a shield that shields the terminal portion, wherein the shield comprises a shield body formed from a single sheet of plate material, the shield body is attached to the outside of the housing, and the shield body comprises a carrier cutting portion that protrudes in an in-plane direction of the mounting surface of the object to be attached, and the tip of the carrier cutting portion is located inside the contour line of the connector when the connector is viewed from a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface.

[0030] In this aspect, the connector includes a terminal portion, a housing, and a shield. The terminal portion is composed of at least one terminal. The housing holds the terminal portion. The shield shields the terminal portion. The shield includes a shield body formed from a single plate material.

[0031] In this embodiment, the shield body is attached to the outside of the housing. The shield body has a carrier cut portion that protrudes in the in-plane direction of the mounting surface of the mounting object. The carrier cut portion refers to a portion that was connected to the carrier when the shield body was manufactured by progressive processing and is ultimately cut off. Here, if the tip of the carrier cutting part were to be located on the outline of the connector when the connector is viewed from a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface (see, for example, the connector described in Patent Document 1), the cut surface of the tip of the carrier cutting part would come into contact with the wall surface of the packaging material (carrier tape, tray, etc.) and damage it, which could result in the generation of foreign matter. Specifically, when the connector is transported in the packaging material, when the connector is placed in the packaging material, or when the connector is removed from the packaging material, the cut surface of the tip of the carrier cutting part would come into contact with the wall surface of the packaging material. Therefore, in this aspect, the tip of the carrier cutting portion is located inside the outline of the connector when the connector is viewed in a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface. This makes it difficult for the cut surface of the tip of the carrier cutting portion to come into contact with the wall surface of the packaging material, thereby preventing the generation of foreign matter.

[0032] In the embodiment described later, the connector includes an additional shield portion, but the connector of this aspect is not limited to this. For example, even if the additional shield in the embodiment described later is omitted (see FIG. 7), the tip of the carrier disconnecting portion is located inside the outline of the connector when the connector is viewed from a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface. In the embodiment described later, the shield body constitutes the entire fixed shield, but the shield body of this aspect is not limited to this. For example, the shield body of this aspect may be joined to another shield body to constitute the fixed shield.

[0033] A connector according to aspect 2-2 is a connector according to aspect 2-1, wherein the shield body has a top plate portion covering an upper surface of the housing and a side plate portion covering a side surface of the housing, and the carrier disconnect portion is formed in the top plate portion.

[0034] In this aspect, the shield body includes a top plate portion that covers the upper surface of the housing, and a side plate portion that covers the side surface of the housing. Here, the carrier cutting portion is formed in the top plate portion. Therefore, it is not necessary to form a carrier cut portion on the side plate portion, and the degree of freedom in the shape of the side plate portion is increased, which results in an improved shielding effect from the direction along the mounting surface.

[0035] In the embodiment described below, the housing includes not only a fixed housing but also a movable housing, but the housing of this aspect is not limited to this. The housing of this aspect may include only a fixed housing. In other words, the connector of this aspect does not have to be a movable connector. In the embodiment described below, the top plate of the shield covers the top surface of the fixed housing that is fixed to the attachment target. However, the top plate of the shield in this embodiment is not limited to this and may cover the top surface of the movable housing.

[0036] A connector according to a 2-3 aspect is the 2-2 aspect, wherein the side plate portion surrounds the outer periphery of the housing without any gaps.

[0037] In this aspect, the side plate portion surrounds the outer periphery of the housing without any gaps. Therefore, a connector with superior shielding performance can be realized compared to a configuration in which the side plate portion does not completely surround the outer periphery of the housing.

[0038] The connector of aspect 2-4 is in aspect 2-2 or 2-3, wherein the shield body has a passage space between the side plate portion and the carrier cutting portion, for allowing a jig for separating the carrier cutting portion from the carrier to pass in a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface of the mounting object.

[0039] In this aspect, the shield body has a passage space between the side plate portion and the carrier cutting portion. The passage space is a space for allowing a jig for separating the carrier from the carrier cutting portion to pass through in a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface of the mounting object. Therefore, a tool for separating the carrier cutting part from the carrier can be passed through the passage space. Also, the tip of the carrier cutting part can be moved away from the side plate by the passage space. As a result, it is possible to further prevent the cut surface of the tip of the carrier cutting part from coming into contact with the wall surface of the packaging material.

[0040] A connector according to aspect 2-5 is a connector in any one of aspects 2-2 to 2-4, wherein the housing comprises a fixed housing fixed to the object to be attached, the fixed housing comprising a first wall portion extending in a first direction which is an in-plane direction of the mounting surface of the object to be attached, and a shield body holding portion which holds the shield body, the shield body comprising a first shield portion formed as part of the side plate portion, the first shield portion covering the first wall portion from the outside in a second direction which is an in-plane direction of the mounting surface and perpendicular to the first direction, and a held portion held by the shield body holding portion, the held portion extending downward from the top plate portion via a curved portion, the held portion being located outside the first shield portion and inside the carrier disconnecting portion in the first direction.

[0041] In this aspect, the housing comprises a fixed housing fixed to an object to be attached. The fixed housing comprises a first wall portion extending in a first direction, and a shield body holding portion that holds the shield body. Meanwhile, the shield body comprises a first shield portion formed as part of the side plate portion, and a held portion held by the shield body holding portion. The first shield portion covers the first wall portion from the outside in the second direction. The held portion extends downward from the top plate portion via a curved portion. Therefore, the shielding performance can be improved by the first shielding portion, and the shield body can be attached to the fixed housing.

[0042] Incidentally, the shield body holding portion of the fixed housing is a portion that holds the shield body, and therefore requires a certain degree of strength. Specifically, in order for the shield body holding portion to properly hold the held portion, the shield body holding portion needs to be formed larger than the held portion both inwardly and outwardly in the first direction. Therefore, the position at which the shield body holding portion is formed on the fixed housing can affect the overall dimensions of the fixed housing. Therefore, in this aspect, the held portion is located outside the first shield portion in the first direction and inside the carrier cutting portion in the first direction. For this reason, the fixed housing is unlikely to become large in size in the first direction, because the portion of the fixed housing in the vicinity of where the carrier cutting portion is disposed can function as a shield body holding portion or a portion that reinforces the shield body holding portion from the outside in the first direction.

The second terminal portion 20B is used for power supply, for example.

[0050] Hereinafter, a description will be given of the configuration common to the first terminal 20A and the second terminal 20B. When there is no need to distinguish between the first terminal 20A and the second terminal 20B, they will simply be referred to as terminals 20.

[0051] As shown in FIG. 4, the terminal 20 includes a connection portion 21, a fixed-side held portion 22, a middle elastic portion 23, a movable-side held portion 24, and a contact portion 25.

[0052] The connection portion 21 is connected to the attachment object 90. Specifically, the connection portion 21 is connected to an attachment surface 91 (see FIG. 3) of the attachment object 90 by soldering. The fixed-side held portion 22 is held by the fixed housing 30. The fixed-side held portion 22 is press-fitted into the fixed housing 30 with the upward direction being the press-fitting direction. The intermediate elastic portion 23 is configured to be elastically deformable. The movable-side held portion 24 is held by the movable housing 40. The movable-side held portion 24 is press-fitted into the movable housing 40 with the upward direction being the press-fitting direction. The contact portion 25 comes into contact with a connection object (a terminal of a mating connector). The contact portion 25 is configured to be elastically displaceable with respect to the movable held portion 24.

[0053] Next, the configuration of each of the first terminal 20A and the second terminal 20B will be described.

[0054] 4, the first terminal 20A is a terminal whose plate thickness direction is oriented in a plane perpendicular to the front-rear direction of the connector. The first terminal 20A is a so-called bent terminal. The second terminal 20B is a terminal whose thickness direction is oriented in the front-rear direction of the connector in most part. The second terminal 20B is a so-called void terminal. However, the second terminal 20B has a curved portion at the contact portion 25. The fixed-side held portion 22 of the second terminal 20B has a shape that protrudes upward. The contact portion 25 of the first terminal 20A comes into contact with the connection object from the outer side in the width direction. Contact portion 25 of second terminal 20B comes into contact with an object to be connected from the inside in the front-rear direction.

[0055] (Housing 30, 40) As shown in FIG. 1, the housings 30 and 40 include a fixed housing 30 and a movable housing 40. The fixed housing 30 is fixed to an attachment object 90. The movable housing 40 is configured to be movable relative to the fixed housing 30. Specifically, the movable housing 40 is supported in a floating state by the fixed housing 30 and the attachment object 90 via at least one terminal 20 constituting the terminal portion 20. The fixed housing 30 and the movable housing 40 are both molded from synthetic resin.

[0056] (Fixed housing 30) As shown in FIG. 5, the fixed housing 30 has a terminal holding portion 31 that holds the terminal portion 20 . The number of terminal holding portions 31 is two. The fixed housing 30 includes a first wall portion 31 extending in the front-rear direction, which is the first direction. The first wall portion 31 functions as the terminal holding portion 31.

[0057] The fixed housing 30 includes a shield body holding portion 32 that holds the fixed side shield body 51 . The number of shield body holding portions 32 is multiple (four). The shield body holding portions 32 are connected in the front-rear direction to the first wall portion 31 which is the terminal holding portion 31. A pair of shield body holding portions 32 is provided on the outside in the front-rear direction for each terminal holding portion 31. The first wall portion 31 and the pair of shield body holding portions 32 form one wall portion extending in the front-rear direction which is the first direction. A press-fit groove into which the held portion 55 of the fixed-side shield body 51 is press-fitted is formed in the shield body holding portion 32. The press-fit groove is formed in a side surface (outer surface in the width direction) of the shield body holding portion 32. The side surface of the shield body holding portion 32 is flush with the side surface of the terminal holding portion 31. The upper surface of the shield holding portion 32 is flush with the upper surface of the terminal holding portion 31 .

[0058] Although not shown, the shield body holding portion 32 also holds the fixed side portion 65 of the movable side shield body 61 (see FIG. 1).

[0059] The fixed housing 30 includes a second wall portion 33 extending in the width direction, which is the second direction. The second wall portion 33 connects, in the width direction, the shield body holding portion 32 on one side in the width direction and the shield body holding portion 32 on the other side in the width direction. The second wall portion 33 functions as a limiting portion 33 that limits the upward movement range of the movable housing 40 by abutting against a part of the movable housing 40 . The upper surface of the second wall portion 33 is flush with the upper surface of the shield body holding portion 32 .

[0060] (Movable housing 40) The movable housing 40 holds the movable-side held portion 24 of the terminal 20. The movable housing 40 is configured so as to be able to fit with the housing of a mating connector which is the object to be connected. The movable housing 40 has a pair of protrusions 41 for regulating the upward movement range of the movable housing 40. The protrusions 41 abut against the second wall portion 33 of the fixed housing 30, thereby limiting the upward movement range of the movable housing 40.

[0062] (Fixed side shield 50) The fixed shield 50 includes only a fixed shield body 51 formed from a single plate material. The fixed side shield body 51 is attached to the fixed housing 30 so as to cover the fixed housing 30 from above.

[0063] As shown in FIG. 5, the fixed-side shield body 51 includes a top plate portion 52 that covers the upper surface of the fixed housing 30 , and side plate portions 53 , 54 , and 57 that cover the side surfaces of the fixed housing 30 . The top plate portion 52 has a flat plate shape with its thickness direction facing the up-down direction. The top plate portion 52 has a portion covering the upper surface of the first wall portion 31, a portion covering the upper surface of the second wall portion 33, and a portion covering the upper surface of the shield body holding portion 32. The top plate portion 52 is formed in a frame shape. The side plate portions 53, 54, and 57 have their thickness directions oriented in the in-plane direction of the XY plane. The side plate portions 53, 54, and 57 surround the outer periphery of the fixed housing 30 without any gaps. The side plate portions 53, 54, and 57 will be described in detail later.

[0064] The fixed side shield body 51 has a held portion 55 that is held by the fixed housing 30 . The number of held portions 55 is plural (for example, four). Press-fit protrusions are formed on both sides in the front-rear direction, which is the plate width direction, of the held portion 55. Although not shown in the figure, the fixed side portion 65 of the movable-side shield body 61 comes into contact with the inner surface of the held portion 55 (the surface on the inner side in the connector width direction) from the inside in the width direction.

[0065] The fixed side shield body 51 has a connection portion 56 to be connected to an object 90 to which the shield body 51 is attached. The number of the connection portions 56 is plural (for example, four). The connecting portion 56 extends outward in the width direction from below the held portion 55, and the plate thickness direction faces the up-down direction. The connecting portion 56 is connected to the mounting surface 91 of the mounting object 90 by soldering.

[0066] (Movable shield 60) 1, the movable shield 60 includes two movable shield bodies 61 formed from a single plate material. The pair of movable shield bodies 61 have the same structure.

[0067] The movable side shield body 61 includes a movable side shield part 62 that covers the movable housing 40 . The movable shield part 62 covers the movable housing 40 from the outside in the width direction. The lower end of the movable shield part 62 is located below the upper surface of the first wall part 31 of the fixed housing 30 (see FIG. 3).

[0068] The movable side shield body 61 has a pair of front and rear movable side held portions 63 that are held by the movable housing 40 .

[0069] The movable shield body 61 includes a pair of front and rear shield spring portions 64 . The pair of front and rear shield spring portions 64 extend from the pair of front and rear movable-side held portions 63, respectively.

[0070] The movable shield body 61 has a pair of front and rear fixed side portions 65 . The fixed side portion 65 is held by the shield body holding portion 32 of the fixed housing 30, and is in elastic contact with the fixed-side shield body 51. This electrically connects the movable-side shield body 61 and the fixed-side shield body 51. Specifically, the fixed side portion 65 contacts the held portion 55 of the fixed-side shield body 51 from the inside in the width direction.

[0071] (Details of the fixed side shield body 51) Next, the fixed shield body 51 as the "shield body" will be described in detail.

[0072] As shown in FIG. 5, the fixed side shield body 51 includes a pair of first shield parts 53 in the width direction. The first shield portion 53 covers the first wall portion 31 of the fixed housing 30 from the outer side in the width direction. The first shield part 53 has a flat plate shape with its thickness oriented in the width direction. The first shield part 53 has a portion that covers the fixed-side held part 22 of the first terminal 20A from the outside in the width direction, and a portion that covers the fixed-side held part 22 of the second terminal 20B from the outside in the width direction. The first shield portion 53 is connected to the top plate portion 52 via the first curved portion 58a. The first curved portion 58a extends in the front-rear direction.

[0073] The fixed side shield body 51 includes a pair of front and rear second shield parts 54 . The second shield portion 54 covers the second wall portion 33 of the fixed housing 30 from the outer side in the front-rear direction. The second shield portion 54 has a flat plate shape with its thickness oriented in the front-rear direction. The second shield portion 54 is connected to the top plate portion 52 via the second curved portion 58b. The second curved portion 58b extends in the width direction.

[0074] The fixed side shield body 51 includes a plurality of additional shield parts 57 (four in this embodiment). The additional shield portion 57 covers the shield body holding portion 32 of the fixed housing 30 from the outside in the width direction. The additional shield portion 57 will be described in detail later.

[0075] As shown in FIG. 7, the held portion 55 and the connecting portion 56 constitute reinforcing portions 55,56. The reinforcing portions 55, 56 are held by the fixed housing 30 at the held portion 55, and are connected to the attachment object 90 at the connection portion 56. In this way, the reinforcing portions 55, 56 reinforce the attachment strength of the connector 10 to the attachment object 90.

[0076] The held portion 55 is adjacent to the outer side in the front-rear direction (outer side in the first direction) of the first shield portion 53. A first gap G1 is formed between the first shield portion 53 and the held portion 55 (see FIG. 7). The held portion 55 is adjacent to the second shield portion 54 on the inner side in the front-rear direction (inner side in the first direction). A second gap G2 is formed between the second shield portion 54 and the held portion 55.

[0077] The held portion 55 is connected to the top plate portion 52 via the third curved portion 58c. The third curved portion 58c extends in the front-rear direction. With respect to the position in the width direction, the third curved portion 58c is located more inward in the width direction (more inward in the second direction) than the first curved portion 58a. As a result, with respect to the position in the width direction, the held portion 55 is located more inward in the width direction than the first shield portion 53. With regard to the position in the width direction, by positioning the third bent portion 58c on the inner side in the width direction (inner side in the second direction) than the first bent portion 58a, the held portion 55 and the connecting portion 56 can be positioned on the inner side in the width direction compared to a case in which the third bent portion 58c is positioned at the same position in the width direction as the first bent portion 58a. This allows the connector 10 to be made smaller.

[0078] 6, the additional shield part 57 extends outward in the width direction (outward in the second direction) from the second shield part 54. The additional shield part 57 covers both the first gap G1 and the second gap G2.

[0079] The additional shield portion 57 includes a curved portion 57a ​​and a main body portion 57b. The main body portion 57b is connected to the second shield portion 54 via the curved portion 57a. The main body portion 57b has a flat plate shape, with the plate thickness direction oriented in the width direction.

[0080] The additional shield part 57 includes an overlapping part 57c. The overlapping portion 57c is disposed so that the plate thickness direction faces the width direction and overlaps with a portion of the first shielding portion 53 in the width direction. The overlapping portion 57c is disposed on the outer side in the width direction relative to a portion of the first shielding portion 53. The overlapping portion 57c contacts the first shielding portion 53. The overlapping portion 57c may simply contact the first shielding portion 53, or may be joined thereto. This electrically connects the first shielding portion 53 and the additional shielding portion 57 at the overlapping portion 57c.

[0081] The overlapping portion 57c is connected to the main body portion 57b via a step portion. As a result, the main body portion 57b is located on the inner side in the width direction (inner side in the second direction) than the overlapping portion 57c. Therefore, the main body portion 57b can be disposed on the inner side in the width direction compared to a case where the main body portion 57b is located at the same position in the width direction as the overlapping portion 57c. As a result, it is possible to easily perform a visual inspection of the connection portion 56.

[0082] As shown in FIG. 9, the fixed side shield body 51 is produced by progressive machining. 5 and 9, a plurality of carrier cutting portions 59 are formed. The number of carrier cutting portions 59 is four. Specifically, all of the multiple carrier cutting portions 59 are formed on the top plate portion 52. The multiple carrier cutting portions 59 include multiple (two) carrier cutting portions 59 protruding from the top plate portion 52 to one side in the width direction, and multiple (two) carrier cutting portions 59 protruding from the top plate portion 52 to the other side in the width direction.

[0083] <Action and effect> Next, the effects of this embodiment will be described.

[0084] 1, the connector 10 includes a terminal portion 20, housings 30, 40, and shields 50, 60. The terminal portion 20 is composed of at least one terminal 20. The housings 30, 40 hold the terminal portion 20. The shields 50, 60 shield the terminal portion 20. Shields 50, 60 include a shield body 51 formed from a single plate material. As shown in Figures 6 and 7, shield body 51 includes main body portions 53, and an adjacent portion 55 adjacent to main body portions 53, . Therefore, the adjacent portion 55, which is provided separately from the main body portions 53, 54, can function as a held portion 55 held by the housings 30, 40, or as a part that extends the connection portion 56 that connects to the attachment object 90.

[0085] 7, in this embodiment, a gap G is formed between the main body portions 53, 54 and the adjacent portion 55. This gap G can lead to a decrease in shielding performance. Therefore, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, the connector 10 further includes an additional shield portion 57 that closes the gap G described above. This makes it possible to realize a connector with excellent shielding performance.

[0086] In this embodiment, the additional shield portion 57 is provided as a part of the shield body 51, as shown in FIG. Therefore, compared to a configuration in which the additional shield portion 57 is provided as a separate body from the shield body 51, an increase in the number of parts can be suppressed.

[0087] In this embodiment, the additional shield part 57 closes both of the two gaps G formed on both sides of the adjacent part 55, as shown in FIGS. Therefore, compared to a configuration in which the additional shield portion 57 closes only one of the two gaps G, a connector with superior shielding performance can be realized.

[0088] 6 and 7, in this embodiment, the main body portions 53, 54 include a first shield portion 53 and a second shield portion 54. The first shield portion 53 extends in a first direction (±X direction). The second shield portion 54 extends in a second direction (±Y direction). Therefore, compared to a configuration in which the main body is provided with only one of the first shielding portion 53 and the second shielding portion 54, a connector with excellent shielding performance can be realized. As shown in FIG. 7, the above-mentioned gap G is formed as a first gap G1 between the first shield part 53 and the adjacent part 55, and a second gap G2 between the second shield part 54 and the adjacent part 55. Therefore, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, the additional shield part 57 closes both the first gap G1 and the second gap G2. Therefore, a connector with superior shielding performance can be realized compared to a configuration in which the additional shield portion 57 closes only one of the first gap G1 and the second gap G2.

[0089] 7, in this embodiment, the plate thickness direction of the adjacent portion 55 is the same as the plate thickness direction of the first shield portion 53. The additional shield portion 57 extends from the second shield portion . Therefore, the additional shield portion 57 provided as a part of the shield body 51 is easily formed.

[0090] 5, in this embodiment, the shield body 51 includes a flat top plate portion 52. The top plate portion has a plate thickness direction oriented in the third direction (the ±Z directions). The first shield portion 53 is connected to the top plate portion 52 via one curved portion 58a, the adjacent portion 55 is connected to the top plate portion 52 via one curved portion 58c, and the second shield portion 54 is connected to the top plate portion 52 via one curved portion 58b. Therefore, the first shield part 53, the adjacent part 55 and the second shield part 54 are all connected to the top plate part 52 via one curved part 58a. As a result, the shield body 51 can be easily manufactured.

[0091] 5, in this embodiment, the housings 30 and 40 include a shield body holding portion 32 that holds the shield body 51. The adjacent portion 55 is a held portion 55 that is held by the shield body holding portion 32 by press-fitting. Therefore, the shield body 51 can be attached to the housings 30 and 40 by having the adjacent portion 55 held by the shield body holding portion 32 of the housings 30 and 40 .

[0092] Incidentally, when the adjacent portion 55 is held by the shield body holding portion 32 of the housing 30, 40 by press-fitting, it is necessary to form the shield body holding portion 32 larger outward in the second direction than the position of the adjacent portion 55. Forming the shield body holding portion 32 larger outward in the second direction leads to an increase in the size of the connector 10 in the second direction. Therefore, in this embodiment, as shown in Figs. 6 and 7, the adjacent portion 55 is located more inward in the second direction than the first shield portion 53. Therefore, compared to, for example, a configuration in which the adjacent portion 55 is located at the same position in the second direction as the first shield portion 53, it is possible to prevent the shield body holding portion 32 of the housing 30, 40 from expanding outward in the second direction. In particular, in this embodiment, the side surface (second direction outer surface) of the shield body holding portion 32 is flush with the side surface of the first wall portion 31 and does not bulge outward beyond the side surface (second direction outer surface) of the first wall portion 31. This allows the housings 30, 40 to be made smaller in size in the second direction.

[0093] Incidentally, as shown in FIG. 7, when the adjacent portion 55 is located more inward in the second direction than the first shield portion 53, the first gap G1 between the first shield portion 53 and the adjacent portion 55 tends to become large. Therefore, in this embodiment, the additional shield part 57 closes the first gap G1. This makes it possible to realize a connector with excellent shielding performance. In particular, in this embodiment, the shield body 51 includes a connection portion 56 (a portion connected to the mounting surface 91 of the mounting object 90) extending outward in the second direction from the adjacent portion 55 (held portion 55). In this embodiment, the adjacent portion 55 is located more inward in the second direction than the first shield portion 53, so that it is possible to increase the dimension of the connection portion 56 in the second direction while avoiding an increase in the size of the connector 10 in the second direction.

[0094] 3 , the housings 30, 40 include a fixed housing 30 fixed to an attachment object, and a movable housing 40 movable relative to the fixed housing 30. The terminal 20 includes a fixed-side held portion 22 held by the fixed housing 30, a movable-side held portion 24 held by the movable housing 40, and an intermediate elastic portion 23 for allowing movement of the movable housing 40 relative to the fixed housing 30. 5, the fixed housing 30 includes a first wall portion 31 extending in a first direction, and a shield body holding portion 32 connected to the first wall portion 31 in the first direction. The first wall portion 31 holds the fixed-side held portion 22. The shield body holding portion 32 holds the shield body 51. Specifically, the adjacent portion 55 is the held portion 55 that is held by the shield body holding portion 32 by press-fitting. 3, the intermediate elastic portion 23 is disposed in a space on the inside in the second direction with respect to the first wall portion 31. The main body portions 53, 54 include a first shield portion 53 extending in the first direction. The first shield portion 53 covers the first wall portion 31 from the outside in the second direction. In this embodiment, the adjacent portion 55 is located more inward than the first shield portion 53 in the second direction. As a result, while ensuring space for disposing the intermediate elastic portion 23 of the terminal 20, the area occupied by the connector (the area occupied on the mounting surface 91 of the mounting object 90) can be reduced compared to when the adjacent portion 55 is positioned at the same position as the first shield portion 53 in the second direction. For example, when changing the position of the first shield part 53 inward in the second direction, it is necessary to change the position of the first wall part 31 of the housing inward in the second direction as well. In that case, the space in which the intermediate elastic part 23 of the terminal 20 is disposed becomes smaller. In this embodiment, the first shield part 53 is positioned more outward in the second direction than the adjacent part 55, so that the space in which the intermediate elastic part 23 of the terminal 20 is disposed can be secured.

[0095] (Second viewpoint) Next, the effects of this embodiment will be described from a second perspective.

[0096] In this embodiment, as shown in Fig. 1, the connector 10 includes a terminal portion 20, housings 30, 40, and shields 50, 60. The terminal portion 20 is composed of at least one terminal 20. The housings 30, 40 hold the terminal portion 20. The shields 50, 60 shield the terminal portion 20. The shields 50, 60 include a shield body 51 formed from a single plate material.

[0097] 2, the shield body 51 is attached to the outside of the housings 30 and 40. The shield body 51 has a carrier cutting portion 59 that protrudes in the in-plane direction of the mounting surface 91 of the mounting object 90. The carrier cutting portion 59 refers to a portion that was connected to the carrier 80 (see FIG. 9) when the shield body 51 was manufactured by progressive processing and that is ultimately cut off. Here, if the tip of the carrier cutting part were to be located on the outline of the connector when the connector is viewed from a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface (see, for example, the connector described in Patent Document 1), the cut surface of the tip of the carrier cutting part would come into contact with the wall surface of the packaging material (carrier tape, tray, etc.) and damage it, which could result in the generation of foreign matter. Specifically, when the connector is transported in the packaging material, when the connector is placed in the packaging material, or when the connector is removed from the packaging material, the cut surface of the tip of the carrier cutting part would come into contact with the wall surface of the packaging material. Therefore, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8, the tip of the carrier cutting portion 59 is located inside the outline of the connector 10 when the connector 10 is viewed in a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface 91. Therefore, the cut surface at the tip of the carrier cutting portion 59 is less likely to come into contact with the wall surface of the packing material, which can suppress the generation of foreign matter.

[0098] 1, in this embodiment, the housings 30, 40 include a fixed housing 30 that is fixed to an attachment object 90. Meanwhile, as shown in FIG. 5, the shield body 51 includes a top plate portion 52 that covers an upper surface of the fixed housing 30, and side plate portions 53, 54, 57 that cover side surfaces of the fixed housing 30. Here, the carrier cutting portion 59 is formed in the top plate portion 52 . Therefore, it is not necessary to form the carrier cutting portion 59 on the side plate portions 53, 54, 57, and there is a high degree of freedom in the shape of the side plate portions 53, 54, 57. As a result, the shielding effect from the direction along the mounting surface 91 can be improved.

[0099] In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, the side plate portions 53, 54, and 57 surround the outer periphery of the fixed housing 30 without any gaps. Therefore, compared to a configuration in which the side plate portions 53, 54, 57 do not surround the outer periphery of the fixed housing 30 without any gaps, a connector with excellent shielding performance can be realized.

[0100] 8, in this embodiment, the shield body 51 has a passing space TS between the side plate portions 53, 54, 57 and the carrier cutting portion 59. The passing space TS is a space for allowing a jig for separating the carrier cutting portion 59 from the carrier 80 to pass through in a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface 91 of the mounting object 90 (±Z direction). Therefore, a tool for separating the carrier cutting part 59 from the carrier 80 can be passed through the passage space TS. Also, the tip of the carrier cutting part 59 can be moved away from the side plate parts 53, 54, and 57 by the passage space TS. As a result, it is possible to further prevent the cut surface at the tip of the carrier cutting part 59 from contacting the wall surface of the packaging material.

[0101] 5, in this embodiment, the fixed housing 30 includes a first wall portion 31 extending in the first direction, and a shield body holding portion 32 that holds the shield body 51. Meanwhile, the shield body 51 includes a first shield portion 53 formed as a part of the side plate portions 53, 54, 57, and a held portion 55 that is held by the shield body holding portion 32. The first shield portion 53 covers the first wall portion 31 from the outside in the second direction. The held portion 55 extends downward from the top plate portion 52 via a curved portion 58c. Therefore, the shielding performance can be improved by the first shielding portion 53 and the shielding body 51 can be attached to the fixed housing 30 .

[0102] Incidentally, the shield body holding portion 32 of the fixed housing 30 is a portion that holds the shield body 51, and therefore requires a certain degree of strength. Specifically, in order for the shield body holding portion 32 to properly hold the held portion 55, the shield body holding portion 32 needs to be formed larger both inwardly and outwardly in the first direction than the held portion 55. Therefore, the position on the fixed housing 30 where the shield body holding portion 32 is formed can affect the overall dimensions of the fixed housing 30. Therefore, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, the held portion 55 is located outside the first shield portion 53 in the first direction and inside the carrier cutting portion 59 in the first direction. For this reason, the fixed housing 30 is unlikely to become large in size in the first direction, because the portion of the fixed housing 30 in the vicinity of where the carrier cutting portion 59 is disposed (see FIG. 8) can function as the shield body holding portion 32 or a portion that reinforces the shield body holding portion 32 from the outside in the first direction.

[0103] [Supplementary explanation of the above embodiment] Although the preferred embodiment of the connector of the present disclosure has been described above, the present disclosure is not limited thereto. The following description is a supplementary explanation for the sake of completeness.

[0104] In the above embodiment, the fixed-side shield body 51 as a shield body constitutes the entire fixed-side shield 50, but the shield body of the present disclosure is not limited to this.

[0108] In the above embodiment, the first shield part 53 and the additional shield part 57 are electrically connected at the overlapping part 57c, but the overlapping part of the present disclosure is not limited to this. The overlapping part may be disposed so as to overlap a part of the first shield part 53 in the width direction, but may not be in contact with the first shield part 53.

[0109] In the above embodiment, the additional shield portion 57 extends generally in the first direction, but the additional shield portion of the present disclosure is not limited to this. For example, in the above embodiment, the plate-like main body portion 57b extends in the front-rear direction (first direction) with the plate thickness direction facing the width direction (second direction). Alternatively, the plate-like main body portion 57b may extend in a direction inclined with respect to the first direction (a direction extending inward in the first direction and then outward in the second direction).
