AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing electrical connectors face challenges in achieving sufficient isolation characteristics without increasing the size, particularly due to the interference between adjacent signal terminals and the limitations of U-shaped ground terminals with openings.

Method used

The electrical connector employs an electrically insulating retaining member with a male ground terminal that has a frame portion with a protruding shielding portion, electromagnetically shielding the opening within the frame to maintain isolation characteristics without enlarging the connector size.

Benefits of technology

This configuration effectively shields electromagnetic interference, ensuring sufficient isolation characteristics without increasing the connector's size by using a male ground terminal with a protruding shielding portion held by the retaining member.

Abstract

To provide an electrical connector and an electrical connector set, which can obtain sufficient isolation characteristics without the connector being increased in size.SOLUTION: An electrical connector includes a holding member 21 that is electrically insulating, and a signal terminal 25 and a male ground terminal 22 held by the holding member 21. The male ground terminal 22 is disposed next to the signal terminal 25. The male ground terminal 22 includes a frame 28 projecting in side view, and an opening 27 formed inside the frame 28. The male ground terminal 22 includes shielding part 30, 31, or 32 that is conductive and configured to electromagnetically shield the opening 27. The shielding part 30, 31, or 32 is located at the opening 27 and held by the holding member 21 provided to the opening 27.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 5
