Abstract
An insulative plug housing (20) holds the plurality of plug terminals (21). Each plug terminal (21) includes a plug contact portion (21b) to come in contact with the receptacle terminal, and a cable connecting portion (21c) to connect to the inner conductor. When the plug connector is fitted to the receptacle connector, the plug contact portion (21b) comes in contact, at a portion along the fitting direction, with the receptacle terminal, and the cable connecting portion (21c) connects, at a portion along an inclining direction, with the inner conductor extending in the inclining direction, the inclining direction being a direction inclined from the fitting direction toward an orthogonal direction orthogonal to both an array direction of the plug terminals (21) and the fitting direction.
Claims10
An electrical connector to be fitted to a mating connector mounted on a board in a normal direction of a mounting surface of the board that is a fitting direction and to connect the mating connector with a signal line, the electrical connector comprising:
- contacts being conductive, arranged in a same orientation, and arrayed to connect to signal transmission members of the mating connector in a one-to-one manner, the signal transmission members being conductive and arrayed on the mounting surface of the board;
- and
- a housing being insulative and holding the contacts, wherein
- the contacts each include
- a contact to make contact with the corresponding signal transmission member, and
- a connecting portion to connect to the signal line, and
- when the electrical connector is fitted to the mating connector, the contact portion comes in contact, at a portion along the fitting direction, with the signal transmission member, and the connecting portion connects, at a portion along an inclining direction, with the signal line extending in the inclining direction, the inclining direction being a direction inclined from the fitting direction toward an orthogonal direction orthogonal to both an array direction of the contacts and the fitting direction.
