Electric connector receptacle with lock nut

Abstract

To provide an electric connector receptade with lock nut having a simple connector housing structure, a secure earth course of a metal shell to ground, and excellent durability, it indudes a connector housing having a pair of locking sections formed nut-storing-sections therein, nuts for locking by fitting-in stored in the nut-storing-sections, and a metal shell covering the connector housing. The nut-storing-section is opened at an upper side, and formed in a vertically elongated, concave shape with a depth to receive the nut fully, and has a screw-insertion-hole running through the locking section across the nut-storing-section, and a shell-strip through-hole running through the locking section above the screw-insertion-hole. A retaining through-strip is formed in the shell, which is inserted into the shell-strip through-hole and contacted to an upper part of the nut stored in the nut-storing-section, thereby prevents falling-off of the nut, and electrically conducts to the nut.
