Abstract

A signal transfer line of electrical equipment which is provided with a BNC connector as the external input/output connector to which a coaxial cable is connected and which performs transfer of signals between the BNC connector and a circuit board inside the equipment, wherein the BNC connector is mounted to a connector board, a DIN connector is mounted to the board, a line pattern portion connecting the BNC connector and DIN connector being constituted on the board, pins for signals of the DIN connector being comprised with a characteristic impedance the same as the characteristic impedance of the coaxial cable by suitably grounding surrounding pins or by the microstripping of the line pattern portion etc., whereby arrangement of wiring in the electrical equipment becomes unnecessary so that connections for transferring signals can be manufactured at a low cost.

Dependent claims

A signal transfer line for performing signal transfer between a coaxial cable having a characteristic impedance and a circuit board in an electrical equipment, said signal transfer line comprising:

a connector board;
a DIN connector mounted to said connector board and comprising a plurality of pins including at least one signal pin;
a BNC connector mounted to said connector board and including a signal pin;
a conductive line pattern portion disposed on said connector board and electrically connecting the signal pin of said BNC connector and the signal pin of said DIN connector;
said conductive line pattern portion having a characteristic impedance which matches said characteristic impedance of said coaxial cable, and said DIN connector having a characteristic impedance which matches said characteristic impedance of said coaxial cable electrically connecting at least one pin of said plurality of pins of said DIN connector to electrical ground.
