Connector

Abstract

This connector is provided with a female connector including a resin body and a signal terminal supported on the resin body. The resin body includes a frame part having a rectangular shape extending in the long-side direction and the short-side direction, and an island part extending in the long-side direction in the frame part and connected to the frame part. A reinforcing metal fitting is incorporated into an end portion of the island part in the long-side direction. The reinforcing metal fitting includes an upper surface part covering an upper surface of the island part, side surface parts on both sides covering side surfaces of the island part on both sides in the short-side direction, and an end surface part covering an end surface of the island part in the long-side direction. Each of the side surface parts on both sides includes a folded part folded back from a lower end portion of the side surface part to an inner side of the side surface part in the short-side direction.

Claims

1. A female connector comprising a resin body and a signal terminal supported by the resin body, wherein the resin body has a rectangular frame portion extending in the long side direction and the short side direction, and an island portion extending in the long side direction within the frame portion and connected to the frame portion, a reinforcing fitting incorporated into the long side end of the island portion, the reinforcing fitting having an upper surface portion covering the upper surface of the island portion, side surface portions covering both sides of the island portion in the short side direction, and end surface portions covering the end face of the island portion in the long side direction, and each of the side surface portions has a folded portion that is folded back from the lower end of the side surface portion in the short side direction of the side surface portion.

2. The connector according to claim 1, wherein the tip of the folded portion is spaced apart from the upper surface portion.

3. The connector according to claim 1, wherein the tip of the folded portion extends to the upper surface portion.

4. The connector according to any one of claims 1 to 3, wherein the folded portion has a bottom portion extending inward from the side portion in the direction of the short side of the side portion, and an inner side portion extending along the side portion toward the top portion from the bottom portion.

5. The connector according to claim 4, wherein the distance between the upper portion of the inner surface and the side portion is smaller than the distance between the lower portion of the inner surface and the side portion.

6. The connector according to claim 4 or claim 5, wherein the lower portion of the inner surface is spaced apart from the side surface, and the upper portion of the inner surface is in contact with the side surface.

7. The connector according to any one of claims 1 to 6, wherein the side portions on both sides protrude downward from the island portion.

8. The connector according to any one of claims 1 to 7, wherein the female connector is an insert molded product in which the reinforcing fitting is embedded in the resin body.
