Abstract
A coaxial connector includes an upper insulating case provided with columnar ribs in the four corners thereof. These ribs are provided to position a fixed terminal and a movable terminal. The tops of the ribs are arranged so that the fixed terminal is easily guided. Half-circular concavities are formed on both of the sides of the fixed terminal. The concavities are fitted onto the ribs of the upper insulating case, so that the fixed terminal can be incorporated into the upper insulating case with a high positional accuracy. Thereafter, the ribs are thermally deformed into a dome shape by a welder, so that the fixed terminal is fixed to the upper insulating case.
Claims18
A coaxial connector comprising:
- a first resin member having a concave portion into which a center contact of a mating coaxial connector is inserted;
- a second resin member arranged to mate with and define an insulating case with the first resin member;
- a fixed terminal and a movable terminal mounted inside of the insulating case;
- and
- an external terminal mounted on the outside of the insulating case to be electrically connected to an outer conductor of the mating coaxial connector;
- wherein
- the first resin member is provided with ribs at corner portions thereof, the ribs being arranged to position the fixed terminal and the movable terminal, respectively, and
- the fixed terminal is provided with a fixed portion fixedly sandwiched between the first and second resin members, said fixed portion includes at least one concavity which is fitted onto at least one of the ribs disposed on the first resin member.
A communication device comprising:
- at least one coaxial connector including:
- a first resin member having a concave portion into which a center contact of a mating coaxial connector is inserted;
- a second resin member arranged to mate with and define an insulating case with the first resin member;
- a fixed terminal and a movable terminal mounted inside of the insulating case;
- and
- an external terminal mounted on the outside of the insulating case to be electrically connected to an outer conductor of the mating coaxial connector;
- wherein
- the first resin member is provided with ribs at corner portions thereof, the ribs being arranged to position the fixed terminal and the movable terminal, respectively, and
- the fixed terminal is provided with a fixed portion fixedly sandwiched between the first and second resin members, said fixed portion includes at least one concavity which is fitted onto at least one of the ribs disposed on the first resin member.
