本願の特許請求の範囲に記載された発明は、複数の信号伝送ケーブルを含んだケーブル群を電子機器に連結するにあたって用いられる、プラグコネクタ装置として機能する信号入出力コネクタ装置に関する。   The invention described in the claims of the present application relates to a signal input / output connector device functioning as a plug connector device used for connecting a cable group including a plurality of signal transmission cables to an electronic device.

コンピュータ等の情報機器に、当該情報機器についての信号（データを含む。以下において同様。）の入出力を行うべく、複数の信号伝送ケーブルから成るケーブル群を連結するに際しては、ケーブル群が接続されたものとされて、情報機器側に設けられたレセプタクルコネクタ装置に嵌合連結されるプラグコネクタ装置として機能する、信号入出力コネクタ装置が用いられることが多い。このような信号入出力コネクタ装置の一つとして、ＵＳＢ(Universal Serial Bus)規格「Type-C」に準拠したプラグコネクタ装置（以下、USB Type-Cコネクタ装置という。）が知られている。   When connecting a cable group composed of a plurality of signal transmission cables to an information device such as a computer in order to input / output signals (including data, the same applies hereinafter) for the information device, the cable group is connected. Therefore, a signal input / output connector device that functions as a plug connector device fitted and connected to a receptacle connector device provided on the information equipment side is often used. As one of such signal input / output connector devices, a plug connector device (hereinafter referred to as a USB Type-C connector device) conforming to the USB (Universal Serial Bus) standard “Type-C” is known.

従来、上述のように信号入出力コネクタ装置として用いられる USB Type-C コネクタ装置として、“パドルカード”と称される電子回路基板を内蔵するものが提案されている（例えば、特許文献１参照。）。   Conventionally, as a USB Type-C connector device used as a signal input / output connector device as described above, a device incorporating an electronic circuit board called a “paddle card” has been proposed (for example, see Patent Document 1). ).

特許文献１に示される USB Type-C コネクタ装置（電気コネクタ(100))は、各々が絶縁ブロック(33)と配列配置されて絶縁ブロックにより支持された複数の導電端子(34)とを含んだ上端子モジュール(31)及び下端子モジュール(32)とから成る端子モジュール(30)と、端子モジュールにおける導電端子が配された部分を覆う内金属筐体(60)と、端子モジュールにおける導電端子が配された部分を覆う内金属筐体と端子モジュールにおける内金属筐体の外部に配された部分との両者を覆う外金属筐体(70)と、外金属筐体の一端に差し込まれて端子モジュールにおける導電端子に係合する内蔵回路基板(50)とを備えて構成されている。そして、内蔵回路基板が、“パドルカード”と称される電子回路基板に相当しており、斯かる内蔵回路基板にあっては、その前部の上下表面に配列配置された複数の接続端子（金属片 (図示されていない。))が設けられており、また、その後部に複数のケーブルが溶接されるものとされている。   The USB Type-C connector device (electrical connector (100)) disclosed in Patent Document 1 includes an insulating block (33) and a plurality of conductive terminals (34) arranged and supported by the insulating block. A terminal module (30) composed of an upper terminal module (31) and a lower terminal module (32), an inner metal housing (60) covering a portion where the conductive terminals are arranged in the terminal module, and conductive terminals in the terminal module An outer metal housing (70) that covers both the inner metal housing that covers the disposed portion and the portion of the terminal module that is disposed outside the inner metal housing, and a terminal that is inserted into one end of the outer metal housing And a built-in circuit board (50) that engages with a conductive terminal in the module. The built-in circuit board corresponds to an electronic circuit board called a “paddle card”. In such a built-in circuit board, a plurality of connection terminals (arranged on the upper and lower surfaces of the front portion thereof) A metal piece (not shown) is provided, and a plurality of cables are welded to the rear part.

端子モジュールを構成する上端子モジュール及び下端子モジュールにあっては、各々における複数の導電端子の夫々の一端が溶接足(342) を形成している。そして、上端子モジュールにおける複数の溶接足が外金属筐体の一端に対応する位置において配列配置されており、また、下端子モジュールにおける複数の溶接足も外金属筐体の一端に対応する位置において配列配置されていて、上端子モジュールにおける複数の溶接足と下端子モジュールにおける複数の溶接足とは、外金属筐体の一端において相互対向するものとされている。   In the upper terminal module and the lower terminal module constituting the terminal module, one end of each of the plurality of conductive terminals in each forms a welding foot (342). The plurality of welding feet in the upper terminal module are arranged and arranged at a position corresponding to one end of the outer metal casing, and the plurality of welding feet in the lower terminal module are also arranged at a position corresponding to one end of the outer metal casing. The plurality of welding feet in the upper terminal module and the plurality of welding feet in the lower terminal module are arranged opposite to each other at one end of the outer metal casing.

このようなもとで、内蔵回路基板が外金属筐体の一端に差し込まれて端子モジュールにおける導電端子に係合せしめられるときには、内蔵回路基板は、その後部に複数のケーブルが溶接されたもとで、その前部が相互対向する上端子モジュールにおける複数の溶接足と下端子モジュールにおける複数の溶接足との間に挿入される。それにより、内蔵回路基板の前部の上下表面に配列配置された複数の接続端子が上端子モジュールにおける複数の溶接足及び下端子モジュールにおける複数の溶接足に夫々接触接続される。その結果、内蔵回路基板の後部に溶接された複数のケーブルが、当該内蔵回路基板を介して、上端子モジュール及び下端子モジュールにおける複数の導電端子に夫々連結されることになる。   Under such circumstances, when the built-in circuit board is inserted into one end of the outer metal housing and engaged with the conductive terminal in the terminal module, the built-in circuit board is based on a plurality of cables welded to the rear part thereof. The front part is inserted between the plurality of welding feet in the upper terminal module and the plurality of welding feet in the lower terminal module facing each other. Thereby, the plurality of connection terminals arranged on the upper and lower surfaces of the front portion of the built-in circuit board are contact-connected to the plurality of welding feet in the upper terminal module and the plurality of welding feet in the lower terminal module, respectively. As a result, the plurality of cables welded to the rear portion of the built-in circuit board are respectively connected to the plurality of conductive terminals in the upper terminal module and the lower terminal module via the built-in circuit board.

斯かる従来提案された USB Type-C コネクタ装置が、コンピュータ等の情報機器に設けられたレセプタクルコネクタ装置にプラグコネクタ装置として嵌合連結されるときには、上端子モジュール及び下端子モジュールにおける複数の導電端子がレセプタクルコネクタ装置を介して情報機器に連結され、情報機器についての信号の入出力が内蔵回路基板の後部に溶接された複数のケーブルを通じて行われる。   When such a conventionally proposed USB Type-C connector device is fitted and connected as a plug connector device to a receptacle connector device provided in an information device such as a computer, a plurality of conductive terminals in the upper terminal module and the lower terminal module Are connected to the information device via the receptacle connector device, and signal input / output for the information device is performed through a plurality of cables welded to the rear portion of the built-in circuit board.

上述の特許文献１に示される USB Type-C コネクタ装置にあっては、端子モジュールを構成する上端子モジュール及び下端子モジュールの各々における複数の導電端子が配された部分が、内金属筐体(60)と外金属筐体(70)とによって二重に覆われることにより、電磁遮蔽作用の向上が期待されるが、一方、“パドルカード”と称される電子回路基板に相当する内蔵回路基板が用いられることに起因する次のような不都合が見られる。   In the USB Type-C connector device disclosed in Patent Document 1 described above, a portion where a plurality of conductive terminals in each of the upper terminal module and the lower terminal module constituting the terminal module is arranged in an inner metal casing ( 60) and the outer metal casing (70) are double-covered to improve the electromagnetic shielding effect. On the other hand, the built-in circuit board is equivalent to an electronic circuit board called "paddle card". The following inconveniences are caused by the use of.

前述のように、内蔵回路基板の後部に溶接された複数のケーブルが、当該内蔵回路基板を介して、上端子モジュール及び下端子モジュールにおける複数の導電端子に夫々連結されるときには、内蔵回路基板の前部が、相互対向する上端子モジュールにおける複数の溶接足と下端子モジュールにおける複数の溶接足との間に挿入され、それにより、内蔵回路基板の前部の上下表面に配列配置された複数の接続端子が上端子モジュールにおける複数の溶接足及び下端子モジュールにおける複数の溶接足に夫々接触接続される。斯かる際、上端子モジュール及び下端子モジュールの夫々における複数の溶接足の配列配置と内蔵回路基板の前部の上下表面における複数の接続端子の配列配置とは、両者における相互に対応するもの同士の間の相互位置ズレを生じる虞があるものとされる。そして、上端子モジュール及び下端子モジュールの夫々における複数の溶接足の配列配置と内蔵回路基板の前部の上下表面における複数の接続端子の配列配置とが、両者における相互に対応するもの同士の間の相互位置ズレを生じていると、斯かる相互位置ズレは、内蔵回路基板の前部の上下表面における複数の接続端子の夫々とそれが接触接続される上端子モジュール及び下端子モジュールの夫々における複数の溶接足のうちの対応するものとの間におけるインピーダンス不整合を生じ、複数のケーブルと上端子モジュール及び下端子モジュールの夫々における複数の導電端子との間における、例えば、信号伝送損失の増大等として現れる、信号伝送特性の劣化をもたらすことになってしまう。   As described above, when the plurality of cables welded to the rear portion of the built-in circuit board are connected to the plurality of conductive terminals in the upper terminal module and the lower terminal module through the built-in circuit board, respectively, The front portion is inserted between the plurality of welding feet in the upper terminal module facing each other and the plurality of welding feet in the lower terminal module, whereby a plurality of arrangements are arranged on the upper and lower surfaces of the front portion of the built-in circuit board. The connection terminals are contact-connected to the plurality of welding feet in the upper terminal module and the plurality of welding feet in the lower terminal module, respectively. In such a case, the arrangement and arrangement of the plurality of welding feet in each of the upper terminal module and the lower terminal module and the arrangement and arrangement of the plurality of connection terminals on the upper and lower surfaces of the front portion of the built-in circuit board correspond to each other. It is assumed that there is a possibility of causing a mutual positional deviation between the two. The arrangement and arrangement of the plurality of welding feet in each of the upper terminal module and the lower terminal module and the arrangement and arrangement of the plurality of connection terminals on the upper and lower surfaces of the front portion of the built-in circuit board are mutually corresponding to each other.
