Abstract

A connector capable of maintaining contact reliability even with reduced arrangement pitch of contacts. First and second contacts are alternately arranged on a housing along contact arrangement direction orthogonal to direction of fitting the housing to a receptacle connector. A first contact portion, first bending portion, and first connecting portion connected to a coaxial cable, of each first contact are disposed on an upper surface, front portion and rear portion of the arranging portion, respectively. A linkage portion connecting the first bending and connecting portions, and a second contact portion continuous with a second connecting portion of each second contact are disposed on a lower surface of the arranging portion. A second bending portion disposed on the front portion is continuous with the second contact portion. The linkage portion is smaller in width in the arrangement direction than the first and second contact portions.

Dependent claims

A connector comprising:

a housing that includes a contact arranging portion which is plate-shaped;
and
first and second contacts that are arranged on said housing in an alternating manner along a contact arrangement direction which is orthogonal to a direction of fitting said housing to a mating connector,
said first contacts each having a first contact portion which is disposed on one surface of said contact arranging portion, a first bending portion which is continuous with said first contact portion, and is disposed on a front portion of said contact arranging portion, a first connecting portion which is disposed on a rear portion of said contact arranging portion, and is connected to an object to be connected, and a linkage portion which is disposed on the other surface of said contact arranging portion, and connects between said first bending portion and said first connecting portion,
said second contacts each having a second connecting portion which is connected to the object to be connected, a second contact portion which is continuous with said second connecting portion, and is disposed on the other surface of said contact arranging portion, and a second bending portion which is continuous with said second contact portion, and is disposed on said front portion of said contact arranging portion,
wherein said linkage portion is smaller in width in the contact arrangement direction than said first contact portion and said second contact portion.
