Embodiment

Below, illustrate referring to the drawings an example of the connector 10 of a desirable example of the present invention.

Fig. 1 is the isometric front view that shows connector of the present invention (socket connector) 10, and Fig. 2 is its vertical view, and Fig. 3 is the A-A line cutaway view of Fig. 2.

Connector 10 is mainly by the insulation shell 12 of ester moulding, the outside of this insulation shell 12 is metal shell 24 that tubular covers and consists of with integrally formed most the terminals 30 of insulation shell 12,40.

Chimeric for most the other side's connectors (pin connector) that width is different, be provided with most adjacent (being 2 at this)

continuous fitting portions

28,29 on connector 10.In order easily to induce the other side's connector, also can fitting

portion

28,29 chimeric mouthfuls 23 around the section 42 that induces is set.

Insulation shell 12 be mainly by the base end part 15 of the rear quadrate part that forms connector 10, and and top board 33 back sides of metal shell 24 between forms the gap and maintaining

part

16,17 from base end part 15 towards chimeric mouthful 23 extensions forms.Be provided with 2

fitting portions

28,29, maintaining

part

16,17 also arranges two accordingly.

Terminal

30,40 utilizes these base end parts 15 and maintaining

part

16,17, is arranging with narrow-pitch along the chimeric direction of the other side's connector.Become the maintaining part 16 at insulation shell 12 near

terminal

30,40 leading

section

45,47,17 bottom side is exposed the state of a part, and is connected with the terminal of the other side's connector by these exposed divisions.Again, become the state that exposes a part at the base end part 15 of insulation shell 12 near

terminal

30,40 rearward

end

39,49, the weld part 25 of these exposed divisions and metal shell 24 together can be welded in the corresponding position of substrate.For with

terminal

30,40 location, also can the irregular terminal aligning section 13 of tool, 14 be set in maintaining part 16, the 17 chimeric directions along the other side's connector.

Metal shell 24 also can be formed by the piece of metal plate, is bent into tubular after for example metallic plate being struck out predetermined shape.(and opposition side of chimeric mouthful between the other side's connector) inserts from the rear with insulation shell 12 again, and will be arranged at the rear

end tongue piece

44,46 or a part of ca(u)lk of rear support plate 48 (shown in Fig. 6 described later) etc. and insulation shell 12, be pressed into, bending, be fixed to thus insulation shell 12.

Fig. 4, Fig. 5 each naturally with isometric front view show can with an example of the chimeric the other side's connector of connector 10 of the present invention.Fig. 4 be only can be chimeric with fitting portion 28 pin connector 60, Fig. 5 be can be chimeric with fitting

portion

28,29 both sides pin connector 60 '.

Described the other side's connector 60,60 ' common ground be, but by with the insulation shell 70 of ester moulding, cover the outside of this insulation shell 70 metal shell 61, expose at the shell fitting portion 62 that makes these insulation shells 70 or metal shell 61 the resin 64 elastic displacements ground that is fixed under the state of a part and be arranged at the locking protrusion 65 on shell fitting portion 62 and be arranged in formations such as most individual terminals 67 on the terminal aligning section 73 of insulation shell 70.Particularly insulation shell 70 and metal shell 61, be formed with maintaining

part

16,17 embedded holes 71 that insert that can supply connector 10 when chimeric with connector 10.

In addition, the difference of the other side's connector 60 ' of Fig. 5 is the common shell fitting portion 62 on the other side's connector 60 that is arranged at Fig. 4, also to have the high speed shell fitting portion 63 that transmits at a high speed use.In other words, the other side's connector 60 of Fig. 4 has narrower width, and the other side's connector 60 ' of Fig. 5 has wider width.Moreover, shell fitting portion 62 shown in Fig. 4, Fig. 5 both sides with only have high speed shell fitting portion 63 shown in Figure 5 and transmit the difference of these function aspects except being used in common transmission or being used at a high speed, another difference is, shell fitting portion 62 has the section that roughly is inverted trapezoidal, and high speed shell fitting portion 63 has the section of the shape that roughly is rectangle.

Fig. 6 to Fig. 9 shows that respectively the other side's connector 60 in a narrow margin shown in Figure 4 and Fig. 1 are to state chimeric between connector of the present invention 10 shown in Figure 3.At this, Fig. 6 is the isometric front view of this chimerism, and Fig. 7 is its vertical view, and Fig. 8 shows the internal state of removing the connector 10 after the top board 33 of metal shell 24 from the connector of Fig. 7, and Fig. 9 is the B-B line cutaway view of Fig. 7.

Can be learnt by these figure, when connector 10 and the other side's connector 60 were chimeric, the leading section of shell fitting portion 62 can be inserted into fitting portion 28 by chimeric mouthful 23 of connector 10.Again, though do not illustrate especially, when connector 10 and the other side's connector 60 ' are chimeric, the leading section of shell fitting portion 62 can insert a fitting portion 28 by chimeric mouthful 23 of connector 10, and the leading section of high speed shell fitting portion 63 can be inserted into other fitting portion 29 by chimeric mouthful 23 of connector 10.So, by adjacent most (being 2 at this) continuous

fitting portions

28,29 are set, most the other side's connectors 60 that can width is different, 60 ' chimeric to this connector 10.Moreover, when the leading section of shell fitting portion 62 is inserted into fitting portion 28, be arranged at locking protrusion 65 on shell fitting portion 62 and can be limited to stop hole 52 on the top board 33 that is arranged on connector 10, thus, connector 10 can be locked with the other side's connector 60 (60 ').Again, when connector 10 is chimeric with the other side's connector 60 (60 '), the maintaining

part

16,17 of connector 10 is inserted into the embedded hole 71 that is arranged on the other side's connector 60 (60 '), its result, the terminal 67 of the other side's connector 60 (60 ') can be connected respectively with the corresponding terminal 30 of

connector

10,40.

Fitting portion 28, the 29th is by can be for 41 forming in the pars intermedia 31 of its Width (icon arrow directions X) chimeric direction (the icon arrow Y-direction) constriction along the other side's connector 60 (60 ') between the chimeric chimeric empty of the other side's connector 60 (60 ').Owing to fully not separating between chimeric empty 41, but only form in the mode of constriction, thus fitting

portion

28,29 can be used as Width (icon arrow directions X) continuously and adjacent fitting portion form.

For example, in the example of icon, it is the section configuration bending accordingly with the shape that roughly is rectangle of the section configuration that roughly is inverted trapezoidal of metal shell 24 and shell fitting portion 62, high speed shell fitting portion 63, more specifically, in most fitting portions of continuous adjacent, as inclined plane 37, the pars intermedia 31B of fitting portion 29 sides forms fitting

portion

28,29 thus as vertical plane 38 with the pars intermedia 31A of fitting portion 28 sides.

Form fitting portion 28, at 29 o'clock with top method, compared with the situation that fitting portion 28 and fitting portion 29 are fully separated, when chimeric with the other side's connector 60 (60 '), pars intermedia 31 diminishes with the face that the other side's connector 60 (60 ') is interfered.Its result, for example chimeric when fitting portion 28 at the other side's connector 60 that width is narrow, can cause the other side's connector 60 warpages, and have the other side's connector 60 after chimeric to produce the anxiety of rocking.When particularly forming as inclined plane 37, need hardening strength as the pars intermedia 31A of fitting portion 28 sides, with the warpage of the particularly right (icon arrow Z direction) of reply the other side connector 60.

In order to adapt to this requirement, this connector 10 in the pars intermedia 31A of fitting portion 28 sides be provided with can with the abutting part 35 of the other side's connector 60 butts.This abutting part 35 is by Width (icon arrow directions X) size constriction as shown in Fig. 1 " Z " of 41 between the chimeric empty of fitting portion 28 is formed.By such abutting part 35 is set, in the situation that the other side's connector 60 is embedded in connector 10, namely, in the situation that the other side's connector 60 in a narrow margin is embedded in fitting portion 28, even be applied in the stress of warpage etc., also can make this other side's connector 60 and abutting part 35 butts in a narrow margin, thereby can limit the other side's connector 60 towards the movement of fitting portion 29 sides, and then can the other side's connector 60 is chimeric under stable state.

More specifically, abutting part 35 can arrange in the following way: will form fitting portion 28 sides pars intermedia 31A for example with the part of the downside on the metallic plate of metal shell 24 formed inclined plane 37, Width (icon arrow directions X) is flatly cutting turns up.In the case, more certain with contacting of the other side's connector 60 (60 ') in order to make, abutting part 35 conducts are set to good along the face 35 of the chimeric direction (icon arrow Y-direction) of the other side's connector 60.Again, in the case, utilize the thickness of the metallic plate of metal shell 24 partly to form abutting part 35, can further improve intensity.And, become rounder and more smooth in order to make bearing surface 35 and conflicting of the other side's connector 60 (60 '), preferably at least the angle of the bearing surface 35 of chimeric side is carried out chamfer machining and made curved surface 34.Again, the face 35 as abutting part faces one another as good with the vertical side 61A (with reference to Fig. 9) of the other side's connector 60.Moreover, owing to there not being only chimeric with fitting portion 29 sides the other side's connector, and the pars intermedia 31B of fitting portion 29 sides with the section of high speed shell fitting portion 63, namely roughly the be rectangle section of shape is corresponding and form vertical plane 38, therefore can produce above-mentioned problem hardly.Certainly, even in fitting portion 29 sides, the abutting part identical with abutting part (face) 35 also can be set.

Figure 10 shows variation of the present invention.Forming fitting portion 28, at 29 o'clock by the piece of metal plate being made tubular, as shown in Fig. 1, Figure 10 etc., can produce the seam 50,50 ' of complementary shape, but applied force when chimeric with the other side's connector 60 (60 ') in order to alleviate preferably arranges the chimeric direction Y of these seams along the other side's connector 60 (60 ').Again, preferably these seams are not that as shown in Figure 1 seam 50 is arranged at (by only causing with the chimeric the other side's connector 60 of fitting portion 28) fitting portion 28 sides that the warpage possibility is large like that, but seam 50 as shown in figure 10 is arranged at few fitting portion 29 sides of the possibility of warpage like that.Can further lower thus the destroyed danger of connector when chimeric.

Be illustrated as an example of electric connector example in superincumbent example, but connector of the present invention is not limited to electric connector, also can be applicable to the connector of other forms such as optical connector.Therefore, the invention is not restricted to electric connector, can be with the connector of various forms as object.
