上記のように構成されたコネクタ１は、樹脂ボディ１の下側に突出している接続端子３の他片下端部と、スイッチ端子６の脚片６ｂと、シールドフレームの脚片４ｒとを、図示しないプリント基板に設けられたスルーホールに挿入して半田付けし、機械的に固定及び電気的に接続する（挿入実装）。この状態で、たとえば図示しない家庭用ゲーム機本体に取り付けられ、図示しない外部操作機器（以下、「コントローラ」という。）との電気的接続をするコネクタとして使用される。 The connector 1 configured as described above includes a lower end portion of the other piece of the connection terminal 3 protruding below the resin body 1, a leg piece 6b of the switch terminal 6, and a leg piece 4r of the shield frame. Insert into the through hole provided on the printed circuit board and solder it, and then mechanically fixed and electrically connected (insertion mounting). In this state, for example, it is attached to a home game machine body (not shown) and used as a connector for electrical connection with an external operation device (hereinafter referred to as “controller”) (not shown).

なお、コネクタ１の接続端子３とスイッチ端子６が信号用の基板電極に接続されるのに対し、シールドフレームはグランドの基板電極に接続される。 The connection terminal 3 and the switch terminal 6 of the connector 1 are connected to the signal substrate electrode, whereas the shield frame is connected to the ground substrate electrode.

図７は上記コネクタ１の相手コネクタであるプラグ７の一部を断面した状態の側面図である。 FIG. 7 is a side view of a state in which a part of the plug 7 which is the mating connector of the connector 1 is cut.

プラグ７は、コントローラの本体から延出された接続ケーブル８の末端に取り付けられる。また、プラグ７は、樹脂カバー７ａの一端側からプラグ本体７ｄの先端部が突出される。プラグ本体７ｄは、金属のシールドフレーム７ｂで樹脂ボディ７ｃを取り囲んでなる。また、樹脂カバー７ａの他端側から接続ケーブル８が引出される。樹脂ボディ７ｃの内側には、複数の接続端子７ｅが保持され、接続ケーブル８の各シールド線の一端から引出された導体にシールドフレーム７ｂと接続端子７ｅが圧着等により接続されている。 The plug 7 is attached to the end of the connection cable 8 extending from the main body of the controller. Further, the plug 7 has a tip end of the plug body 7d protruding from one end side of the resin cover 7a. The plug body 7d is formed by surrounding the resin body 7c with a metal shield frame 7b. Moreover, the connection cable 8 is pulled out from the other end side of the resin cover 7a. A plurality of connection terminals 7e are held inside the resin body 7c, and the shield frame 7b and the connection terminals 7e are connected to a conductor drawn from one end of each shield wire of the connection cable 8 by crimping or the like.

そして、コントローラを家庭用ゲーム機本体に電気的に接続する際、プラグ７のプラグ本体７ｄ先端部を、コネクタ１のプラグ挿入口２ａを通してプラグ挿入空間２ｂに挿入し嵌合する。それに伴って、プラグ挿入空間２ｂの端子装着部２ｃがプラグ７の樹脂ボディ７ｃの内側に挿入されるので、その端子装着部２ｃの上側表面と下側表面に固定された接続端子３はプラグ７の対応する接続端子７ｅとスライド接触して電気的に接続される。また、プラグ挿入空間２ｂにその上下左右４方向から突出されている接片４ｆ，４ｈ，５ｆの接点部４ｅ，４ｇ，５ｄが外側への撓みを伴ってプラグ７のシールドフレーム７ｂとスライド接触するので、プラグ７のシールドフレーム７ｂがコネクタ１のシールドフレーム４，５と電気的に接続されて接地される。また、上下の接片４ｆ，５ｆがプラグ７のプラグ本体７ｄ先端部をその挿入方向とは垂直方向の上下方向で挟持し、左右の接片４ｈがプラグ７のプラグ本体７ｄ先端部をその挿入方向とは垂直方向の左右方向で挟持するので、コネクタ１とプラグ７の接続状態が保持される。 Then, when the controller is electrically connected to the consumer game machine body, the plug body 7d tip of the plug 7 is inserted into the plug insertion space 2b through the plug insertion port 2a of the connector 1 and fitted. Accordingly, since the terminal mounting portion 2c of the plug insertion space 2b is inserted inside the resin body 7c of the plug 7, the connection terminal 3 fixed to the upper surface and the lower surface of the terminal mounting portion 2c is connected to the plug 7 Are electrically connected in sliding contact with the corresponding connection terminals 7e. In addition, the contact portions 4e, 4g, 5d of the contact pieces 4f, 4h, 5f projecting from the four directions of the plug insertion space 2b in the up, down, left, and right directions are in sliding contact with the shield frame 7b of the plug 7 with outward deflection. Therefore, the shield frame 7b of the plug 7 is electrically connected to the shield frames 4 and 5 of the connector 1 and grounded. The upper and lower contact pieces 4f and 5f sandwich the tip end portion of the plug body 7d of the plug 7 in the vertical direction perpendicular to the insertion direction, and the left and right contact pieces 4h insert the tip end portion of the plug body 7d of the plug 7. Since the direction is sandwiched in the vertical direction, the connection state between the connector 1 and the plug 7 is maintained.

ここで、第２シールドフレーム５に有する第２接片である下接片５ｆは、上記のように第１シールドフレーム４に有する第１接片である上接片４ｆとで、プラグ７のプラグ本体７ｄ先端部をその挿入方向とは垂直方向の上下方向で挟持するので、第１接片を兼ねることになる。 Here, the lower contact piece 5f that is the second contact piece of the second shield frame 5 is the upper contact piece 4f that is the first contact piece of the first shield frame 4 as described above, and the plug 7 of the plug 7 is plugged. Since the front end portion of the main body 7d is sandwiched in the vertical direction perpendicular to the insertion direction, it also serves as the first contact piece.

また、プラグ７のプラグ本体７ｄ先端部の挿入に伴い、下接片５ｆの接点部５ｄがその接片５ｆの外側（下側）への撓みを伴ってプラグ７のシールドフレーム７ｂと接触する。これと同時に、下接片５ｆのスイッチ用接点部５ｅはスイッチ端子６の接点部６ａから下側に引き離され、スイッチがオン状態からオフ状態に切り換わる。逆に、プラグ７のプラグ本体７ｄ先端部の抜き去りに伴い、下接片５ｆが内側（上側）に弾性復帰するので、下接片５ｆのスイッチ用接点部５ｅはスイッチ端子６の接点部６ａと突き合い接触し、スイッチはオフ状態からオン状態に切り換えられる。このスイッチによって、コントローラが接続されたことを検出（認識）する。 Further, with the insertion of the distal end portion of the plug body 7d of the plug 7, the contact portion 5d of the lower contact piece 5f comes into contact with the shield frame 7b of the plug 7 with bending outward (lower side) of the contact piece 5f. At the same time, the switch contact portion 5e of the lower contact piece 5f is pulled downward from the contact portion 6a of the switch terminal 6, and the switch is switched from the on state to the off state. On the contrary, as the tip of the plug body 7d of the plug 7 is removed, the lower contact piece 5f elastically returns to the inside (upper side), so that the switch contact portion 5e of the lower contact piece 5f is the contact portion 6a of the switch terminal 6. The switch is switched from the off state to the on state. This switch detects (recognizes) that the controller is connected.

以上、本実施の形態の上記コネクタ１は、相手コネクタであるプラグ７と嵌合される樹脂ボディ２が接続端子３を保持し、金属のシールドフレームで取り囲まれている。そして、前記シールドフレームを、板バネ状の第１接片である上と左右の接片４ｆ，４ｈを有する第１シールドフレーム４と、板バネ状の第２接片である下接片５ｆを有する第２シールドフレーム５と、からなる２ピース構造としているので、第１接片である上と左右の接片４ｆ，４ｈを有する第１シールドフレーム４と第２接片である下接片５ｆを有する第２シールドフレーム５それぞれに適した金属材料やメッキの選定が行えるようになる。 As described above, in the connector 1 of the present embodiment, the resin body 2 fitted to the plug 7 as the mating connector holds the connection terminal 3 and is surrounded by the metal shield frame. The shield frame is made up of a first shield frame 4 having upper and left contact pieces 4f, 4h, which are leaf spring-shaped first contact pieces, and a lower contact piece 5f, which is a leaf spring-like second contact piece. Since the second shield frame 5 has a two-piece structure, the first shield frame 4 having the upper and left contact pieces 4f and 4h as the first contact piece and the lower contact piece 5f as the second contact piece. It is possible to select a metal material and plating suitable for each of the second shield frames 5 having the above.

具体的には、第１接片が左右接片４ｈの複数で樹脂ボディ２に嵌合された相手コネクタであるプラグ７を保持すると共に、第２接片の下接片５ｆが第１接片としての機能を有しながら、接続端子３とは別個に樹脂ボディ２に保持されたスイッチ端子６とで相手コネクタであるプラグ７の挿抜によって電気的接離を行うスイッチを構成している。 Specifically, the first contact piece is a plurality of left and right contact pieces 4h and holds the plug 7 which is a mating connector fitted to the resin body 2, and the second contact piece lower contact piece 5f is the first contact piece. In addition to the connection terminal 3, the switch terminal 6 that is held in the resin body 2 constitutes a switch that is electrically connected and disconnected by inserting and removing the plug 7 that is the mating connector.

このため、第２接片であるスイッチ用の下接片５ｆを有する第２シールドフレーム５の金属材料には、りん青銅等の良導電材料を使用する。また、第１接片である上と左右の接片４ｆ，４ｈを有する第１シールドフレーム４の金属材料には、第２シールドフレーム５の金属材料より安価な黄銅等の良導電材料を使用する。このように、第１シールドフレーム４と第２シールドフレーム５との間で、使用する金属材料を異ならせ、シールドフレームの材料費の低減化を図る。 For this reason, a highly conductive material such as phosphor bronze is used as the metal material of the second shield frame 5 having the switch bottom contact piece 5f which is the second contact piece. Further, a highly conductive material such as brass that is less expensive than the metal material of the second shield frame 5 is used as the metal material of the first shield frame 4 having the upper and left contact pieces 4f and 4h as the first contact pieces. . Thus, the metal material to be used is made different between the first shield frame 4 and the second shield frame 5 to reduce the material cost of the shield frame.

また、メッキについても、第２接片であるスイッチ用の下接片５ｆを有する第２シールドフレーム５は、下地ニッケルメッキで、高信頼性を求める下接片５ｆの片面（スイッチ端子６との接触面）のみ金メッキとする。また、第１接片である上と左右の接片４ｆ，４ｈを有する第１シールドフレーム４は、第２シールドフレーム５のメッキより安価なスズメッキとする。このように、第１シールドフレーム４と第２シールドフレーム５との間で、施すメッキを異ならせ、シールドフレームのメッキ加工費の低減化を図る。 Also, with regard to plating, the second shield frame 5 having the switch contact piece 5f, which is the second contact piece, is made of base nickel plating, and is provided on one side of the contact piece 5f for high reliability (with the switch terminal 6). Only the contact surface is gold plated. Further, the first shield frame 4 having the upper and left and right contact pieces 4f and 4h, which are the first contact pieces, is made of tin plating which is cheaper than the plating of the second shield frame 5. In this way, the plating to be applied is made different between the first shield frame 4 and the second shield frame 5 to reduce the plating processing cost of the shield frame.

さらに、シールドフレームへのメッキは、フープメッキで行われるが、この場合、フープ状の第１シールドフレーム４と、フープ状の第２シールドフレーム５に分けてメッキを行えるので、不要な部分への金メッキ処理が少なくなり、シールドフレームのメッキ加工費をより一層低減できる。なお、シールドフレームが１ピース構造であると、スイッチ用の第２接片は、第１接片が形成される金属板の延長部に形成されて、一定幅の金メッキエリアにフープ材送り方向で直列に配置されるが、板取りによって金メッキエリアには第１接片が形成される金属板から第２接片以外の延長部も張り出すため、不要な部分への金メッキが多くなってしまう。 Furthermore, the plating on the shield frame is performed by hoop plating. In this case, the plating can be performed separately on the hoop-shaped first shield frame 4 and the hoop-shaped second shield frame 5, so that unnecessary portions can be plated. Gold plating processing is reduced, and the plating cost of the shield frame can be further reduced. If the shield frame has a one-piece structure, the second contact piece for the switch is formed on an extension portion of the metal plate on which the first contact piece is formed, and the gold plating area with a constant width is formed in the hoop material feeding direction. Although they are arranged in series, an extension other than the second contact piece projects from the metal plate on which the first contact piece is formed in the gold plating area by plate cutting, so that gold plating on unnecessary portions increases.

よって、コネクタ１の樹脂ボディ２を金属のシールドフレームで取り囲み、樹脂ボディ２内部から放射したり、内部へ侵入するノイズを抑制するシールド機能は維持しながら、そのシールドにかかるコストを削減できる。 Therefore, the cost of the shield can be reduced while the resin body 2 of the connector 1 is surrounded by the metal shield frame and the shield function for radiating from the inside of the resin body 2 or suppressing the noise entering the inside is maintained.

ところで、本実施の形態の上記コネクタ１は、図８に外観を示した多連（図は４連）コネクタ１００の右端の一つである。この多連コネクタ１００は、上記コネクタ１の樹脂ボディ２が複数、リブ１０１によって横一列に繋がれた状態で一体に成形され、それぞれの樹脂ボディ２に対して複数の接続端子３、第１シールドフレーム４及び第２シールドフレーム５、スイッチ端子６を装着し、上記コネクタ１が複数、それぞれの樹脂ボディ２で横一列に繋がれた状態で一体化されたものである。 By the way, the connector 1 according to the present embodiment is one of the right ends of the multiple (four in the figure) connector 100 whose appearance is shown in FIG. The multiple connector 100 is integrally formed with a plurality of resin bodies 2 of the connector 1 connected in a horizontal row by ribs 101, and a plurality of connection terminals 3 and a first shield are connected to each resin body 2. The frame 4, the second shield frame 5, and the switch terminal 6 are mounted, and a plurality of the connectors 1 are integrated in a state of being connected in a horizontal row by the respective resin bodies 2.

このような多連コネクタ１００は、図示しないプリント基板に挿入実装した状態で、たとえば家庭用ゲーム機本体に取り付けられ、複数のコントローラとの電気的接続を可能にする。 Such a multiple connector 100 is attached to, for example, a consumer game machine main body in a state of being inserted and mounted on a printed circuit board (not shown), and enables electrical connection with a plurality of controllers.
