Abstract
Provided is a connector that can achieve improvement in strength, improvement in shape accuracy, a reduction in the number of components, and a reduction in the number of steps required for assembly. A connector for connecting an external substrate and an external cable to each other includes: a metal casing having a ground terminal part electrically connected to and fitted into an external substrate-side connector mounted to the substrate and a fitting part into which the cable is fitted, and the ground terminal part and the fitting part are integrally formed.
Claims5
A connector for connecting an external substrate and an external cable to each other, the connector comprising:
- a metal casing having a ground terminal part and a fitting part configured to accept the external cable, the ground terminal part being configured to electrically connect to an external substrate-side connector mounted to the external substrate, and the ground terminal part being configured so that the external substrate-side connector fits into the ground terminal part directly, wherein the ground terminal part and the fitting part are integrally formed as one member;
- a contact pin, the contact pin being configured to be connected to the external cable and the external substrate-side connector;
- and
- an outer conductor accommodating the contact pin therein, the outer conductor being located inside the fitting part,
- wherein the ground terminal part has a cylindrical shape extending along a first direction,
- wherein the fitting part has a cylindrical shape extending along a second direction,
- wherein the contact pin has a first portion and a second portion, the first portion being located inside the ground terminal part and extending along the first direction, the second portion being located inside the fitting part and extending along the second direction, and
- wherein the first direction and the second direction intersect each other.
