Abstract
A communication connector (10) includes a plurality of wires (11A to 11C, 12A, 12B, 13, 14) for transmitting communication signals, a plurality of terminals (20) connected to the respective wires (11A to 11C, 12A, 12B, 13, 14), a housing (30) for accommodating the plurality of terminals (20), and a partition wall portion (40) for partitioning between the plurality of wires (11A to 11C, 12A, 12B, 13, 14).
Claims7
A communication connector, comprising:
- a housing having first and second spaced apart sidewalls and top and bottom walls extending between the first and second spaced apart sidewalls, and a plurality of cavities arranged between the first and second spaced apart sidewalls and extending in forward to rearward directions;
- a plurality of wires for transmitting communication signals;
- a plurality of terminals connected to the plurality of wires, each of the plurality of terminals being accommodated in a corresponding one of the plurality of cavities with the plurality of wires extending rearward from the housing;
- and
- a partition for partitioning the plurality of wires into a plurality of wire rows, each of the plurality of wire rows including at least one of the plurality of wires, the partition arranged at a position rearward of the plurality of terminals, the partition comprising:
- a first partition plate having a first wall extending in a lateral direction between first and second side edges and normal to the forward and backward directions, a second wall projecting from the first side edge in a first projecting direction normal to the first wall, and a case connecting wall projecting from the second side edge in a second projecting direction normal to the first wall and opposite the first projecting direction;
- and
- a second partition plate having a first wall extending in the lateral direction between first and second side edges and normal to the forward and backward directions, a second wall projecting from the first side edge in the second projecting direction, and a case connecting wall projecting from the second side edge in the first projecting direction, wherein:
- the first and second partition plates are arranged to partially overlap so that the second wall of the first partition plate is arranged between the second wall of the second partition plate and the case connecting wall of the second plate in the lateral direction, and the second wall of the second partition plate is arranged between the second wall of the first partition plate and the case connecting wall of the first partition plate in the lateral direction to define channels on opposite sides of the second wall of the first partition plate and the second wall of the second partition plate in which the plurality of wire rows are accommodated.
