Description

  In the invention described in the claims of the present application, the first and second coaxial cables, each of which includes a center conductor and an outer conductor that surrounds the center conductor with an inner insulator, are covered with each other. The present invention relates to a coaxial cable connector device to be connected.

  For transmission of high-frequency signals between a plurality of electrical components, electrical devices, or electronic devices, a central conductor and an outer conductor that surrounds the central conductor with an internal insulator are formed to form a signal transmission path that is not easily affected by external noise. In many cases, a coaxial cable is used that is covered with a skin insulator. For example, an antenna device that transmits or receives a high-frequency signal is connected to a circuit board on which an integrated circuit chip that performs processing on the supply of a high-frequency signal to the antenna device or a high-frequency signal from the antenna device is mounted by a coaxial cable, A high-frequency signal is transmitted through the central conductor of the coaxial cable between the antenna device and the integrated circuit chip mounted on the circuit board.

  When the transmission of the high-frequency signal through the central conductor of the coaxial cable is actually performed between the antenna device and the integrated circuit chip mounted on the circuit board, for example, one end is connected to the antenna device and the antenna is connected. The central conductor of the first coaxial cable extending from the device and the central conductor of the second coaxial cable extending from the integrated circuit chip with one end connected to the integrated circuit chip mounted on the circuit board must be connected. A coaxial cable connector device is used to connect the central conductors of the first and second coaxial cables. And in such a coaxial cable connector apparatus, in addition to the role which connects each center conductor of the 1st and 2nd coaxial cable, for example, the antenna apparatus to which the 1st coaxial cable was connected Alternatively, in order to inspect the integrated circuit chip to which the second coaxial cable is connected, transmission of a high-frequency signal through the central conductor of the first coaxial cable between the antenna device and the inspection device, or the integrated circuit It is required that a high-frequency signal can be transmitted through the center conductor of the second coaxial cable between the chip and the inspection device.

  Conventionally, several types of coaxial cable connector devices are known. One of them is, for example, a male connector attached to one end of a first coaxial cable and one end of a second coaxial cable. Each of the central conductors of the first and second coaxial cables can be connected by the male connector and the female connector being engaged with each other. By releasing the mutual engagement between the connector and the female connector, the high frequency through the center conductor of the first coaxial cable between the first device connected to the other end of the first coaxial cable and the inspection device. It is possible to obtain a signal transmission state or a high-frequency signal transmission state through the center conductor of the second coaxial cable between the second device connected to the other end of the second coaxial cable and the inspection device. It has been proposed that can (e.g., see Patent Document 1.).

The male connector consists of a central contact (45) that forms the central conductor and a plug-shaped outer conductor (shield case (21)) that are supported by being insulated from each other by an insulating housing (terminal insulator (22)). The center conductor (44) of the first coaxial cable is connected to the center contact, and the outer conductor (shield conductor (42)) of the first coaxial cable is connected to the plug-like outer conductor. 1 is attached to one end of the coaxial cable. The female connector is configured such that the holding spring (62) constituting the central conductor and the socket-like outer conductor (shield case (21 ')) are supported by being insulated from each other by an insulating housing (terminal insulator (22')). The center conductor (44 ') of the second coaxial cable is connected to the holding spring, and the outer conductor (shield conductor (42')) of the second coaxial cable is connected to the socket-shaped outer conductor. And is attached to one end of the second coaxial cable.

  The plug-like outer conductor of the male connector is fitted into a part of the insulating housing of the female connector and is contact-connected to the socket-like outer conductor of the female connector, and the center contact of the male connector is the female connector. The center conductor and the female connector of the first coaxial cable to which the male connector is attached are attached by mutually engaging the male connector and the female connector in a state where they are in contact with the holding spring. The central conductor of the second coaxial cable can be connected.

  Further, the first connector connected to the other end of the first coaxial cable is released by releasing the mutual engagement between the male connector and the female connector and connecting, for example, an inspection probe included in the inspection device to the male connector. The transmission state of the high frequency signal through the center conductor of the first coaxial cable between the apparatus and the inspection apparatus can be obtained, or the mutual engagement between the male connector and the female connector is released, for example, the female connector By connecting an inspection probe included in the inspection device to the second coaxial cable between the second device connected to the other end of the second coaxial cable and the inspection device, the high-frequency signal is transmitted through the central conductor of the second coaxial cable. The transmission state can be obtained.
