Description

[Technical field]

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

[0002] Patent Document 1 discloses a connector in which an inner conductor is housed in a dielectric and the dielectric is surrounded by an outer conductor. The outer conductor is housed in a conductive housing and is in contact with the housing. By having the outer conductor in contact with the housing, it is expected that the shielding performance will be improved. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] JP 2020-109738 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] Since the outer conductor and the housing are in contact with each other by fitting together, if the dimensional tolerance is large, the contact reliability between the outer conductor and the housing decreases, making it difficult to improve the shielding performance. One possible solution to this problem is to use a connecting member made of a metal plate and having a spring piece. By attaching the connecting member to the outer conductor and making the spring piece elastically contact the housing, the contact stability can be improved.

[0005] In order to improve the contact reliability between the connection member and the outer conductor, it is necessary to position the connection member relative to the outer conductor. As an example of a means for holding the connection member in a position relative to the outer conductor, a structure is considered in which a holding portion is formed in a synthetic resin connector housing that is assembled to the outer conductor, and the connection member is fitted into this holding portion in a penetrating state. However, since the dimensional accuracy of the synthetic resin connector housing is not high, there is a risk that the connection member will move within the holding portion. If the connection member moves within the holding portion, a connection failure will occur between the connection member and the outer conductor. If a connection failure occurs between the connection member and the outer conductor, the shielding performance will decrease.

[0006] The shielded connector of the present disclosure has been completed in view of the above circumstances, and aims to improve the reliability of the shielding performance. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] The shielded connector of the present disclosure comprises: an outer conductor surrounding the inner conductor and the dielectric; a shielding member covering at least a portion of an outer surface of the outer conductor and a connecting member electrically connected to the outer conductor; a connector housing made of synthetic resin that is assembled to the outer conductor; a holding portion formed in the connector housing and configured to hold the connecting member in a state in which the connecting member is inserted therethrough; A protrusion-shaped movement control portion is formed on the inner surface of the holding portion, which abuts against the connecting member from a direction intersecting the penetration direction in which the connecting member penetrates the holding portion, thereby restricting the movement of the connecting member in a direction intersecting the penetration direction. Effect of the Invention

[0008] According to the present disclosure, it is possible to improve the reliability of shielding performance. [Brief description of the drawings]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0010] [Description of the embodiments of the present disclosure] First, embodiments of the present disclosure will be listed and described. Any combination of the following embodiments without causing any contradiction is also included in the embodiment for carrying out the present invention.

[0011] The shielded connector of the present disclosure comprises: (1) A connector comprising an outer conductor surrounding an inner conductor and a dielectric, a shielding member covering at least a part of the outer surface of the outer conductor, a connecting member electrically connected to the outer conductor, a synthetic resin connector housing assembled to the outer conductor, and a retaining portion formed on the connector housing and holding the connecting member in a state in which the connecting member is inserted, the retaining portion having a protruding movement restricting portion formed on an inner surface thereof, the protruding movement restricting portion restricting the movement of the connecting member in a direction intersecting the penetration direction by contacting the connecting member in a direction intersecting the penetration direction of the connecting member penetrating the retaining portion. With this configuration, the relative movement of the connecting member with respect to the retaining portion can be restricted, and therefore the relative movement of the connecting member with respect to the outer conductor is restricted, improving the connection reliability between the connecting member and the outer conductor.

[0012] (2) It is preferable that the plurality of movement restricting portions are arranged at intervals. According to this configuration, since the movement of the connecting member is restricted by the plurality of movement restricting portions arranged at intervals, it is possible to prevent the connecting member from tilting with the movement restricting portions as a fulcrum.

[0013] (3) In (1) or (2), the connecting member is made of a metal plate material, the connecting member has an arm portion that contacts the outer conductor by elastic deformation, and a portion of the connecting member that abuts against the movement restricting portion functions as a fulcrum for the elastic deformation of the arm portion. With this configuration, the fulcrum for the bending of the arm portion is stabilized by the movement restricting portion, improving the connection reliability between the arm portion and the outer conductor.

[0014] (4) In (1) or (2), it is preferable that the connection member is made of a metal plate material, the holding portion has a slit penetrating the connector housing, and a plurality of first movement restricting portions are formed at intervals in the length direction of the long side on one of the two long side inner surfaces along the long side of the slit, and a second movement restricting portion is formed on the other of the two long side inner surfaces so as to be positioned between the plurality of first movement restricting portions in the length direction of the long side. According to this configuration, the plate-shaped connection member is sandwiched in the plate thickness direction by the first movement restricting portion and the second movement restricting portion arranged at different positions from each other, and is held in a curved state within the holding portion. This makes it possible to restrict the connection member from moving relative to the holding portion in the length direction of the long side.

[0015] [Details of the embodiment of the present disclosure] [Example 1] A shielded connector A according to a first embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to Figs. 1 to 11. The present invention is not limited to these examples, but is defined by the claims, and includes all modifications within the meaning and scope of the claims. In this first embodiment, the F direction in Figs. 1, 2, 4, 5, 8 to 11 is defined as the front with respect to the front-rear direction. The R direction in Figs. 1 to 7, 10, 11 is defined as the right with respect to the left-right direction. The left-right direction and the width direction are used synonymously. The H direction in Figs. 1 to 9 is defined as the up-down direction.

[0016] The shielded connector A of the first embodiment is a board connector that is attached to a mounting surface M of a circuit board P, as shown in FIG. 3. A box-shaped shielding member 70 made of a conductive material such as metal is mounted on the mounting surface M. The shielding member 70 covers at least a part of the outer surface of an outer conductor 20 described below. At least a part of the shielded connector A is disposed inside the shielding member 70. In a front view of the circuit board P from the front, the shielding member 70 has a rectangular shape. The shielding member 70 has a pair of left and right side plate portions 71 and a horizontal upper plate portion 72 that connects the upper edges of the both side plate portions 71. The lower end of the side plate portion 71 is connected to an earth circuit (not shown) of the circuit board P.

[0017] As shown in FIG. 4, the shielded connector A is configured by assembling a first terminal module 10, a second terminal module 15, an outer conductor 20, a connector housing 40, and a connecting member 60.

[0018] The first terminal module 10 is configured to include an L-shaped first inner conductor 11 and an L-shaped first dielectric 12 that houses the first inner conductor 11. The first dielectric 12 has a first mounting side surrounding portion 13 extending in the vertical direction and a first fitting side surrounding portion 14 protruding forward from an upper end portion of the first mounting side surrounding portion 13. The second terminal module 15 is configured to include an L-shaped second inner conductor 16 and an L-shaped second dielectric 17 that houses the second inner conductor 16. The second dielectric 17 has a second mounting side surrounding portion 18 extending in the vertical direction and a second fitting side surrounding portion 19 protruding forward from an upper end portion of the second mounting side surrounding portion 18.

[0019] As shown in Figs. 4 and 8, the outer conductor 20 is formed by assembling an upper case 21 and a lower case 28. The upper case 21 is a single metal part formed by forging or casting. The upper case 21 has a box-shaped accommodating portion 22, a first cylindrical portion 23, and a second cylindrical portion 24. The box-shaped accommodating portion 22 is rectangular and has open rear and bottom faces. A protrusion 25 is formed in a rectangular region of the front surface of the box-shaped accommodating portion 22 excluding the upper edge and both left and right side edges.

[0020] As shown in FIG. 4, the first cylindrical portion 23 has an axis extending in the front-rear direction and protrudes forward from the front surface of the protruding portion 25. The second cylindrical portion 24 has an axis extending parallel to the first cylindrical portion 23 and protrudes forward from the front surface of the protruding portion 25 below the first cylindrical portion 23. The first cylindrical portion 23 and the second cylindrical portion 24 are connected to each other and form an 8 shape in front view. A pair of left and right constrictions 26 are formed between the first cylindrical portion 23 and the second cylindrical portion 24. A pair of left and right protruding contact portions 27 are formed on the front surface of the protruding portion 25. In front view, the pair of contact portions 27 are disposed in the constrictions 26.

[0021] The lower case 28 is a single metal part formed by forging or casting. As shown in FIG. 4, the lower case 28 has a bottom wall portion 29, a closing portion 30, and a pair of left and right pressing portions 31. As shown in FIG. 8, the bottom wall portion 29 is formed with a first through hole 32 and a second through hole 33 penetrating the bottom wall portion 29 in the up-down direction. The second through hole 33 is located forward of the first through hole 32. The closing portion 30 has a shape that protrudes upward from the rear end portion of the bottom wall portion 29 in a wall-like shape. The pair of pressing portions 31 have a shape that protrudes upward from the front end portion of the bottom wall portion 29.

[0022] The connector housing 40 is made of synthetic resin and is a single box-shaped component having a rectangular parallelepiped shape as a whole. As shown in FIG. 5, the connector housing 40 has a rear wall portion 41 whose thickness direction is in the front-rear direction, a hood portion 42 protruding forward from the outer peripheral edge of the rear wall portion 41 in a square tube shape, a pair of symmetrical rib-shaped fitting portions 43, and a holding portion 45. The rear wall portion 41 is formed with a fitting hole 44 penetrating the rear wall portion 41 in the front-rear direction. The pair of rib-shaped fitting portions 43 are formed so as to extend elongatedly in the up-down direction along both left and right side edges of the rear wall portion 41. In a plan view of the connector housing 40 seen from above, each of the rib-shaped fitting portions 43 protrudes rearward from the rear surface of the rear wall portion 41 and has an L-shape protruding inward in the width direction from its protruding end.

[0023] The holding portion 45 is configured to include an upper end portion of the rear surface of the rear wall portion 41 and a beam portion 46 having an elongated shape extending in the left-right direction. Both left and right ends of the beam portion 46 are connected to the upper ends of both the rib-shaped fitting portions 43. The beam portion 46 is disposed to face the rear surface of the rear wall portion 41 with a gap therebetween. The holding portion 45 has a slit 47 formed between the rear surface of the rear wall portion 41 and the front surface of the beam portion 46. The slit 47 penetrates the connector housing 40, for example, in the vertical direction. The slit 47 is a space that is elongated in the left-right direction and is open on both the top and bottom sides.

[0024] 11, the slit 47 is made up of a first long side inner surface 48, a second long side inner surface 49, and a pair of left and right short side inner surfaces 50. The front surface of the beam portion 46 makes up the first long side inner surface 48. The rear surface of the rear wall portion 41 makes up the second long side inner surface 49. The side surfaces of the rib-shaped fitting portion 43 make up the short side inner surfaces 50.

[0025] A plurality of movement restricting portions 51 are formed on the first long side inner surface 48 at intervals in the width direction. The movement restricting portions 51 are shaped to protrude forward from the first long side inner surface 48. The range in which the movement restricting portions 51 are formed in the up-down direction extends from the upper end to the lower end of the slit 47. In a plan view, the outer peripheral edge of the protruding side of each movement restricting portion 51 is arc-shaped or elliptical. The cross-sectional shape of the movement restricting portion 51 cut horizontally is, for example, a constant shape over the entire area from the upper end to the lower end of the movement restricting portion 51. For example, the movement restricting portions 51 are not formed on the second long side inner surface 49 and the short side inner surface 50.

[0026] The connection member 60 is a single part formed by bending a metal plate material punched into a predetermined shape. As shown in Figs. 4 and 5, the connection member 60 has a base 61, a plurality of spring pieces 64, and an arm portion 65. The base 61 has a horizontal plate portion 62 having a rectangular flat plate shape with its plate thickness direction facing the up-down direction, and a vertical plate portion 63 having a rectangular flat plate shape extending downward from the rear end edge of the horizontal plate portion 62. In a side view of the connection member 60 seen from the side, the base 61 is L-shaped. The plurality of spring pieces 64 (three in this embodiment 1) extend obliquely upward and backward in a cantilever shape from the front end edge of the horizontal plate portion 62, and are arranged in a line in the width direction. The spring pieces 64 are elastically deformable in the up-down direction with the front end edge of the spring piece 64 (the front end edge of the horizontal plate portion 62) as a fulcrum. 3, the connection member 60 can come into contact with the shield member 70 while elastically deforming the spring piece 64. By making the connection member 60 come into elastic contact with the shield member 70, it is possible to improve contact stability.

[0027] As shown in Figs. 4 and 5, the arm portion 65 is flat with its thickness in the front-rear direction and is connected to the vertical plate portion 63 so as to be flush with the vertical plate portion 63. The thickness dimension of the arm portion 65 is slightly larger than the minimum distance in the front-rear direction between the movement restricting portion 51 of the holding portion 45 and the second long side inner surface 49. The arm portion 65 has a base end portion 66 and a pair of resilient contact pieces 67 that are symmetrical on the left and right. The base end portion 66 is a portion narrower in width than the vertical plate portion 63. The pair of resilient contact pieces 67 extend downward in a cantilever shape from the lower end edge of the base end portion 66. The lower end edge of the base end portion 66 and the inner edges of both the left and right resilient contact pieces 67 are connected to each other so as to form an arc shape with the lower end portion interrupted. The lower end side region of the pair of resilient contact pieces 67 functions as a retaining portion 68 that is curved so that the opposing distance in the width direction narrows downward.

[0028] The procedure for assembling the shielded connector A will be described. With respect to the outer conductor 20, with the upper case 21 and the lower case 28 detached, the first terminal module 10 is inserted into the box-shaped accommodating portion 22 from the rear of the upper case 21, and the first mating side surrounding portion 14 is fitted into the first cylindrical portion 23. The second terminal module 15 is also inserted into the box-shaped accommodating portion 22 from the rear of the upper case 21, and the second mating side surrounding portion 19 is fitted into the second cylindrical portion 24.

[0029] In the connector housing 40, the connection member 60 is attached to the holding portion 45. The base portion 61 is positioned with the horizontal plate portion 62 in contact with the rear end of the upper surface of the hood portion 42 and the vertical plate portion 63 in contact with the upper end of the rear surface of the rear wall portion 41. The arm portion 65 is inserted from above the connector housing 40 into the slit 47 of the holding portion 45 in a press-fit state so as to penetrate the slit 47. As shown in FIG. 11, in the slit 47, the base end portion 66 of the arm portion 65 is sandwiched in the front-rear direction between the multiple movement restriction portions 51 and the second long side inner surface 49. That is, the multiple movement restriction portions 51 abut against the base end portion 66 of the arm portion 65 from a direction intersecting with the penetrating direction of the arm portion 65 with respect to the holding portion 45. For example, the multiple movement restriction portions 51 abut against the base end portion 66 from the rear, perpendicular to the up-down direction. The movement restricting portions 51 press the base end portion 66 of the arm portion 65 toward the second long side inner surface 49. The base end portion 66 of the arm portion 65 is housed in the slit 47, and the elastic contact piece 67 protrudes downward from the holding portion 45 (slit 47).

[0030] This clamping holds the connection member 60 in a state where movement in the front-rear direction is restricted relative to the holding portion 45 of the connector housing 40. As shown in Fig. 9, the movement restricting portion 51 and the second long side inner surface 49 are in contact with the arm portion 65 over a predetermined dimension in the up-down direction, so there is no risk of the connection member 60 tilting in the front-rear direction relative to the connector housing 40. In addition, the movement restricting portions 51 are arranged at multiple locations spaced apart in the width direction (left-right direction) of the holding portion 45, so there is no risk of the connection member 60 tilting in the left-right direction relative to the connector housing 40.

[0031] Next, the upper case 21 is assembled to the connector housing 40 from the rear. At this time, the first cylindrical portion 23 and the second cylindrical portion 24 are press-fitted through the fitting hole 44 of the rear wall portion 41 and are disposed so as to protrude forward within the hood portion 42. The first cylindrical portion 23 is fitted into the arm portion 65. In detail, the pair of elastic contact pieces 67 sandwich the first cylindrical portion 23 from the left and right, thereby restricting the connection member 60 from being displaced relative to the upper case 21 (the outer conductor 20 and the connector housing 40) in the left and right direction. The retaining portions 68 of the pair of elastic contact pieces 67 are fitted into the constricted portions 26, thereby restricting the connection member 60 from being separated upward from the upper case 21.

[0032] After the upper case 21 is assembled to the connector housing 40, the lower case 28 is assembled to the upper case 21 by being pressed into it from below. The first mounting side surrounding portion 13 is accommodated in the first through hole 32, and the second mounting side surrounding portion 18 is accommodated in the second through hole 33. The rib-like fitting portion 43 is sandwiched in the front-rear direction between the pair of pressing portions 31 and the front surface of the box-shaped accommodating portion 22, thereby restricting separation of the upper case 21 and the connector housing 40 in the front-rear direction. This completes the assembly of the shielded connector A.

[0033] The protruding portion 25 of the upper case 21 is fitted into a space surrounded by the holding portion 45 and the pair of rib-shaped fitting portions 43. The rear surfaces of the lower ends of the pair of elastic contact pieces 67 of the connection member 60 contact the pair of contact portions 27 on the front surface of the protruding portion 25. This allows the connection member 60 and the outer conductor 20 (upper case 21) to be electrically connected. At this time, the elastic contact piece 67 of the arm portion 65 is pushed slightly forward by the contact portion 27, and is slightly elastically deformed so as to be displaced forward with the base end portion 66 as a fulcrum. More specifically, the arm portion 65 is elastically deformed with the abutting portion of the connection member 60 against the movement restricting portion 51 as a fulcrum. The elastic deformation of the elastic contact piece 67 ensures contact pressure between the arm portion 65 and the contact portion 27.

[0034] The assembled shielded connector A is mounted on the mounting surface M of the circuit board P while being housed inside the shielding member 70. When the shielded connector A is mounted on the circuit board P, the spring piece 64 of the connection member 60 elastically contacts the upper plate portion 72 of the shielding member 70, and the outer conductor 20 and the shielding member 70 are electrically connected to each other. This provides excellent shielding function.

[0035] The shielded connector A of the first embodiment includes an outer conductor 20 that surrounds the inner conductors 11, 16 and the dielectrics 12, 17, a connecting member 60, and a connector housing 40. The connecting member 60 is electrically connected to the outer conductor 20 and the shielding member 70. The shielding member 70 covers at least a part of the outer surface of the outer conductor 20. The connector housing 40 is a component made of synthetic resin, and is assembled to the outer conductor 20. The connector housing 40 is formed with a holding portion 45 that holds the arm portion 65 of the connecting member 60 in a state in which it is inserted therethrough.

[0036] A protruding movement restricting portion 51 is formed on the inner surface (first long side inner surface 48) of the holding portion 45, which restricts movement of the connection member 60 in the front-rear direction by abutting against the connection member 60 from the front-rear direction intersecting the penetration direction in which the connection member 60 penetrates the holding portion 45. The elastic contact piece 67 of the connection member 60 comes into contact with the contact portion 27 of the outer conductor 20 so as to abut against it from the front. The movement restricting portion 51 serves to restrict the movement of the connection member 60 (arm portion 65) relative to the holding portion 45 in the front-rear direction, thereby restricting the movement of the connection member 60 (elastic contact piece 67) relative to the outer conductor 20, and improving the connection reliability between the connection member 60 (elastic contact piece 67) and the outer conductor 20.

[0037] A plurality of the movement restricting portions 51 are arranged in the slit 47 so as to be spaced apart in the width direction. According to this configuration, the movement of the connection member 60 is restricted by the movement restricting portions 51 arranged at intervals. Therefore, in a plan view, the connection member 60 can be prevented from tilting in the front-rear direction with the movement restricting portions 51 as fulcrums.

[0038] The connection member 60 is made of a metal plate. The connection member 60 has an arm portion 65 that elastically contacts the contact portion 27 of the outer conductor 20 by elastic deformation. A base end portion 66, which is a portion of the connection member 60 that abuts against the movement restricting portion 51, functions as a fulcrum for elastic deformation of the elastic contact piece 67 of the arm portion 65. The base end portion 66, which is the fulcrum for bending of the arm portion 65, is stabilized by being clamped by the movement restricting portion 51, thereby improving the connection reliability between the arm portion 65 and the outer conductor 20.

[0039] [Example 2] A shielded connector B according to a second embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to Fig. 12. In the shielded connector B according to the second embodiment, movement restricting portions 83 and 84 formed on a holding portion 80 have a different configuration from that of the first embodiment. As the other configurations are the same as those of the first embodiment, the same reference numerals are used for the same configurations, and descriptions of the structures, functions, and effects will be omitted.

[0040] The connection member 60 of the second embodiment is the same part as the connection member 60 of the first embodiment. The basic structure of the holding portion 80 is the same as that of the first embodiment. In the second embodiment, movement restricting portions 83, 84 are formed on both the first long side inner surface 81 and the second long side inner surface 82. In detail, a plurality of first movement restricting portions 83 are formed on the first long side inner surface 81 at intervals in the width direction (left-right direction). A plurality of second movement restricting portions 84 are formed on the second long side inner surface 82 at intervals in the width direction (left-right direction).

[0041] The second movement restricting parts 84 are formed so as to be located between the first movement restricting parts 83 in the length direction (width direction) of the long side of the slit 47. In other words, the first movement restricting parts 83 and the second movement restricting parts 84 are arranged in a staggered manner in a plan view. According to this configuration, the plate-shaped base end 66 of the connection member 60 is sandwiched in the plate thickness direction by the first movement restricting parts 83 and the second movement restricting parts 84 arranged at different positions. As a result, the base end 66 is held in the holding part 80 (slit 47) in a state where it is slightly curved in a wavy shape. Note that FIG. 12 illustrates the degree of curvature of the base end 66 in an exaggerated manner. As a result, it is possible to restrict the arm part 65 (connection member 60) from moving relative to the holding part 80 and the outer conductor 20 in the length direction of the long side.

The present invention includes the equivalent meaning of the claims and all modifications within the scope of the claims, including the following embodiments. In the first and second embodiments, the connecting member may have a shape that does not include an arm portion.
