Description

本発明は、電気信号の高速伝送に適したコネクタに関する。具体的には、コネクタが備える複数の端子が近接して配列された際に、端子同士が互いの容量あるいは誘導により生じ得るクロストークの発生を防止することが可能な絶縁性のハウジング内の構造に関する。 The present invention relates to a connector suitable for high speed transmission of electric signals. Specifically, when a plurality of terminals included in a connector are arranged in proximity to each other, a structure inside an insulating housing capable of preventing the occurrence of crosstalk which may be caused by mutual capacitance or induction between the terminals. Regarding

電気信号等を伝送する際に使用するコネクタには、一般的に、一方の端子群と他方の端子群を向い合せで保持する絶縁性のハウジングと、当該ハウジングを収容する外部導体シェルを備えるものがあり、そのようなコネクタには、端子間の容量あるいは誘導により複数の端子が互いに結合し合うことで生じるクロストーク等の電気的悪影響を低減又は回避するために、一方の端子群と他方の端子群との間に、板状の導電性部材を備えるものがある。 A connector used for transmitting an electric signal or the like generally includes an insulative housing that holds one terminal group and the other terminal group face to face, and an outer conductor shell that houses the housing. In such a connector, in order to reduce or avoid electrical adverse effects such as crosstalk caused by mutual coupling of a plurality of terminals due to capacitance or induction between the terminals, one terminal group and the other terminal group are connected. Some include a plate-shaped conductive member between the terminal group and the terminal group.

例えば、特開２０１５−１７９５９１公報（特許文献１）に記載のコネクタは、互いに間隔をおいて配置された複数の端子であって、上部に配列された一方の端子群と、下部に配列された他方の端子群が向かい合うように配列された複数の端子と、各端子を保持する絶縁性の保持部材（ハウジング）と、各端子を保持したハウジングを覆う金属製のシェル（外部導体シェル）とを備え、一方の端子群と他方の端子群との間に、一枚の金属板を打ち抜き形成されたグランド部材を備えている。このような構成により、クロストークが原因で生じるインピーダンス整合等のコネクタの高周波特性への電気的悪影響をある程度低減することが可能となる。 For example, the connector described in Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 2015-179591 (Patent Document 1) has a plurality of terminals arranged at intervals from each other, and one terminal group arranged in an upper portion and a terminal group arranged in a lower portion. A plurality of terminals arranged so that the other terminal group faces each other; an insulating holding member (housing) holding each terminal; and a metal shell (external conductor shell) covering the housing holding each terminal. A ground member formed by punching out a single metal plate is provided between the one terminal group and the other terminal group. With such a configuration, it is possible to reduce, to some extent, electrical adverse effects on the high frequency characteristics of the connector such as impedance matching caused by crosstalk.

特開２０１５−１７９５９１号公報JP, 2005-179591, A

近年、計測機器、音響・映像（ＡＶ）機器等の電子機器に搭載されたデータ処理装置の能力が向上し、電子機器において膨大なデータを処理できるようになり、それに伴って、大量のデータが電気信号としてコネクタを介して高速に送受信されるようになった。このような高周波の電気信号を適切に伝送するために、一方の端子群と他方の端子群を向い合せで保持する絶縁性のハウジングを備える従来型のコネクタでは、それぞれの端子群に含まれる複数の端子が一定の間隔を保つように絶縁性のハウジングに保持されることで、複数の端子間で生じ得るインピーダンス整合等の乱れを低減し、望ましい高周波特性を得ることができる。 In recent years, the capacity of data processing devices mounted on electronic devices such as measuring devices and audio/video (AV) devices has improved, and it has become possible to process enormous amounts of data in electronic devices. It has come to be transmitted and received at high speed as an electric signal through the connector. In order to properly transmit such a high-frequency electric signal, in a conventional connector including an insulative housing that holds one terminal group and the other terminal group face to face, a plurality of terminals included in each terminal group are included. By holding the terminals in the insulating housing so as to keep a constant distance, it is possible to reduce disturbances such as impedance matching that may occur between the plurality of terminals and obtain desired high frequency characteristics.

しかしながら、基板上の回路配線スペース等の確保のために、基板上に実装される基板側コネクタの小型化した場合、絶縁性のハウジングに保持される一方の端子群と他方の端子群との間の間隔はより狭くなるため、それらの端子群間で生じるクロストーク等の電気的悪影響を低減又は回避することが困難となる。例えば、特開２０１５−１７９５９１公報（特許文献１）に記載のコネクタでは、板状の導電性部材（グランド部材）によって、一方の端子群と他方の端子群との間を遮っているが、それら端子群の対向する先端側部分の間、及び、対向する後端側部分の間を十分に電気的に遮っておらず、クロストークの発生等の電気的悪影響を十分に防ぐことができない。 However, when the board-side connector mounted on the board is miniaturized in order to secure the circuit wiring space on the board, between the one terminal group and the other terminal group held in the insulating housing. Since the distance between the terminals becomes narrower, it becomes difficult to reduce or avoid an adverse electrical effect such as crosstalk that occurs between the terminal groups. For example, in the connector described in JP-A-2005-179591 (Patent Document 1), a plate-shaped conductive member (ground member) blocks between one terminal group and the other terminal group. Since the front end side portions of the terminal group facing each other and the rear end side portions of the terminal group facing each other are not sufficiently electrically shielded from each other, it is impossible to sufficiently prevent electrical adverse effects such as occurrence of crosstalk.

以上のような課題を解決するために、コネクタの嵌合方向に沿って対向するように配置された２つの端子群と、該端子群を保持する絶縁性のハウジングと、該ハウジングを収容する外部導体シェルとを備える基板側コネクタにおいて、ハウジングを第１の端子群を保持する第１のハウジング部材と第２の端子群を保持する第２のハウジング部材とに分けて構成し、第１及び第２のハウジング部材がそれぞれ対向する側面（つまり、コネクタの嵌合方向の中心軸側の側面、以下「合わせ面」という）の少なくともいずれか一方に、導電性のプレートを収容するための収容部を設けて、第１の端子群に含まれる複数の端子と第２の端子群に含まれる複数の端子とが近接して垂直方向に対向して配列された間に導電性のプレートを配置することで、第１の端子群と第２の端子群を電気的に遮断し、クロストークの発生を抑えることができ、高周波特性への電気的悪影響を低減又は回避することが可能なコネクタを提供する。 In order to solve the above problems, two terminal groups arranged to face each other along a fitting direction of a connector, an insulative housing that holds the terminal group, and an external housing that houses the housing. In a board-side connector including a conductor shell, the housing is divided into a first housing member holding a first terminal group and a second housing member holding a second terminal group, An accommodating portion for accommodating the conductive plate is provided on at least one of the opposite side surfaces of the two housing members (that is, the side surface on the central axis side in the fitting direction of the connector, hereinafter referred to as the “matching surface”). Providing and disposing the conductive plate while the plurality of terminals included in the first terminal group and the plurality of terminals included in the second terminal group are arranged in close proximity to each other and vertically opposed to each other. Thus, a connector capable of electrically blocking the first terminal group and the second terminal group, suppressing the occurrence of crosstalk, and reducing or avoiding an adverse electrical effect on high frequency characteristics is provided. ..

In all the drawings for explaining the embodiments, the same members are designated by the same reference numerals in principle, and the repeated description thereof will be omitted. Further, although the respective embodiments are described independently, it does not exclude that the constituent elements are combined to form a connector.

図１は、基板側のコネクタ及びケーブル側のコネクタの外観を示す図である。コネクタの嵌合方向は、図中のＸ１―Ｘ２方向（Ｘ軸方向）である。基板側のコネクタ１００の先端側はＸ２方向側であり、ケーブル側のコネクタ２００の先端側はＸ１方向側である。基板３００に対して垂直な面はＸ―Ｚ平面であり、基板３００に対して水平な面（平行な面）はＸ―Ｙ平面である。図中のＺ軸方向に沿って上方及び下方を、それぞれのコネクタの上下とする。以上の事項は、その他の図においても同様である。 FIG. 1 is a diagram showing appearances of a board-side connector and a cable-side connector. The fitting direction of the connector is the X1-X2 direction (X-axis direction) in the figure. The front end side of the board side connector 100 is the X2 direction side, and the front end side of the cable side connector 200 is the X1 direction side. The plane perpendicular to the substrate 300 is the XY plane, and the plane horizontal to the substrate 300 (parallel to the plane) is the XY plane. The upper side and the lower side along the Z-axis direction in the figure are the upper and lower sides of the respective connectors. The above matters also apply to the other drawings.

基板側のコネクタ１００は、ケーブル側のコネクタ２００との接続側（Ｘ２方向側）に嵌合凸部１０４を形成する複数の端子を保持する合成樹脂等の絶縁性の材料で成型されたハウジング１５０（図３参照）と、ハウジング１５０を内部に含む外部導体シェル１０６とから構成される。外部導体シェル１０６は、当該外部導体シェル１０６を基板３００に実装して固定するためのシェル実装部１０８ａ及び１０８ｂを含む。シェル実装部１０８ａ及び１０８ｂは、基板３００に設けられた孔に挿入され、半田付けされるディップ端子であるが、基板の表面に実装可能な端子でも良い。シェル実装部１０８ａは、シェル実装部１０８ｂよりもコネクタ１００の先端側（Ｘ２側）の側面に設けられる。 The board-side connector 100 is a housing 150 formed of an insulating material such as a synthetic resin that holds a plurality of terminals forming the fitting protrusions 104 on the connection side (X2 direction side) with the cable-side connector 200. (See FIG. 3) and the outer conductor shell 106 including the housing 150 therein. The outer conductor shell 106 includes shell mounting portions 108a and 108b for mounting and fixing the outer conductor shell 106 on the substrate 300. The shell mounting portions 108a and 108b are dip terminals that are inserted into holes provided in the board 300 and soldered, but they may be terminals that can be mounted on the surface of the board. The shell mounting portion 108a is provided on the side surface on the tip side (X2 side) of the connector 100 with respect to the shell mounting portion 108b.

また、外部導体シェル１０６は、ケーブル側のコネクタ２００のロック突部２０６と係合するロック孔１１０を備える。ロック孔１１０は、ケーブル側のコネクタ２００のロック突部２０６と係合できる位置に設けられる。図１では、ロック孔１１０は、コネクタ１００の外部導体シェル１０６の上下（Ｚ軸方向での上下）の側壁に設けられる。ロック孔１１０は、ロック突部２０６と係合できる構造であれば、必ずしも外部導体シェルを貫通した孔でなくてもよい。別の実施形態として、基板側のコネクタの外部導体シェルにロック突部を設け、ケーブル側のコネクタの外部導体シェルにロック孔を設けてもよい。 The outer conductor shell 106 also includes a lock hole 110 that engages with the lock protrusion 206 of the cable-side connector 200. The lock hole 110 is provided at a position where it can be engaged with the lock protrusion 206 of the connector 200 on the cable side. In FIG. 1, the lock hole 110 is provided on the upper and lower side walls (up and down in the Z-axis direction) of the outer conductor shell 106 of the connector 100. The lock hole 110 does not necessarily have to be a hole penetrating the outer conductor shell as long as it has a structure capable of engaging with the lock protrusion 206. As another embodiment, a lock protrusion may be provided on the outer conductor shell of the board-side connector, and a lock hole may be provided on the outer conductor shell of the cable-side connector.

後壁部１１２は、外部導体シェル１０６の後方側（Ｘ１側）に設けられ、シェル実装部１１４を先端部分に有する。シェル実装部１１４は、外部導体シェル１０６の後壁部１１２と一体に形成されており、ハウジング１５０の後壁（Ｘ１側の壁）に沿うように外部導体シェル１０６の後端側に設けられ、シェル実装部も兼ねており、ハウジング１５０から露出した２つの端子群（端子実装部１３２ａと１３２ｂ）の間を通って基板３００に実装される。 The rear wall portion 112 is provided on the rear side (X1 side) of the outer conductor shell 106 and has a shell mounting portion 114 at the tip portion. The shell mounting portion 114 is formed integrally with the rear wall portion 112 of the outer conductor shell 106, and is provided on the rear end side of the outer conductor shell 106 along the rear wall (wall on the X1 side) of the housing 150. It also serves as a shell mounting portion, and is mounted on the substrate 300 through a space between the two terminal groups (terminal mounting portions 132a and 132b) exposed from the housing 150.

シェル実装部１１４は、２つの端子群に含まれる複数の端子に対して接地電極の役割を果たすので、信号を伝送する複数の端子のそれぞれの間にグランド端子を設けない実施形態でも、電気信号の高速伝送に必要な高周波特性を維持することができる。それにより、コネクタに含まれる端子の数を減らすことができ、端子の数（すなわち、部品数）を減へらすことで、コネクタの内部構造は簡略化され、インピーダンス整合を容易に調整可能な内部構造にすることができる。 Since the shell mounting portion 114 functions as a ground electrode for the plurality of terminals included in the two terminal groups, the electrical signal can be used even in the embodiment in which the ground terminal is not provided between the plurality of terminals that transmit the signal. It is possible to maintain the high frequency characteristics required for high-speed transmission. Thereby, the number of terminals included in the connector can be reduced, and by reducing the number of terminals (that is, the number of parts), the internal structure of the connector can be simplified and the impedance matching can be easily adjusted. Can be

外部導体シェル１０６に収容されたハウジング１５０（図３参照）は、コネクタ１００の嵌合方向に沿って対向するように配置された２つの端子群（図５参照）を保持し、２つの端子群に含まれる複数の端子は、外部導体シェル１０６の後方（Ｘ１側）のハウジング１５０から露出し、露出した各端子に設けられた端子実装部１３２（１３２ａ、１３２ｂ）によって基板３００の表面上に半田付けされて固定される。それぞれの端子実装部１３２は、基板３００に表面実装されるが、基板に設けられた孔に差し込んで実装されるようにディップ端子として構成してもよい。 The housing 150 (see FIG. 3) housed in the outer conductor shell 106 holds two terminal groups (see FIG. 5) arranged so as to face each other along the fitting direction of the connector 100 and holds two terminal groups. Are exposed from the housing 150 at the rear (X1 side) of the outer conductor shell 106, and are soldered onto the surface of the substrate 300 by the terminal mounting portions 132 (132a, 132b) provided on each exposed terminal. Attached and fixed. Each of the terminal mounting portions 132 is surface-mounted on the board 300, but may be configured as a dip terminal so as to be mounted by being inserted into a hole provided in the board.

ケーブル側のコネクタ２００は、基板側のコネクタ１００との接続側（Ｘ１方向側）に嵌合部２０２を有し、複数の端子を保持するハウジングを内部に収めた外部導体シェル２０４と、外部導体シェル２０４の孔から突出したロック突部２０６と連動するロック操作用ボタン２０８と、外部導体シェル２０４とケーブル４００との接続部分を覆うカバー部材２１０とから構成される。 The cable-side connector 200 has a fitting portion 202 on the connection side (X1 direction side) with the board-side connector 100, an outer conductor shell 204 in which a housing holding a plurality of terminals is housed, and an outer conductor. A lock operation button 208 that interlocks with a lock protrusion 206 that protrudes from the hole of the shell 204, and a cover member 210 that covers the connecting portion between the outer conductor shell 204 and the cable 400.

嵌合部２０２は、基板側のコネクタ１００との接続時に、嵌合凹部１０２（図２参照）に挿入される。外部導体シェル２０４は、ロック突部２０６を内側から突出させるための孔を側壁に有する。ロック突部２０６は、基板側のコネクタ１００のロック孔１１０と係合できる位置に設けられる。図１では、ロック突部２０６は、コネクタ２００の外部導体シェル２０４の上下（Ｚ軸方向での上下）の側壁に設けられる。ロック突部２０６は、ロック孔１１０と係合できる構造であればどのような構造でもよい。 The fitting part 202 is inserted into the fitting recess 102 (see FIG. 2) when connecting to the board-side connector 100. The outer conductor shell 204 has a hole in the side wall for projecting the lock protrusion 206 from the inside. The lock protrusion 206 is provided at a position where it can be engaged with the lock hole 110 of the board-side connector 100. In FIG. 1, the lock protrusions 206 are provided on the upper and lower side walls (up and down in the Z-axis direction) of the outer conductor shell 204 of the connector 200. The lock protrusion 206 may have any structure as long as it can be engaged with the lock hole 110.

ロック突部２０６は、外部導体シェル２０４の内部で、ロック操作用ボタン２０８と連結され、ロック操作用ボタン２０８を押し込むことに連動して、ロック突部２０６が押し込まれる。基板側のコネクタ１００との接続時に、ロック操作用ボタン２０８を押し込むことで、ロック突部２０６がロック孔１１０から外れて、ケーブル側のコネクタ２００は、基板側のコネクタ１００から抜くことができる。 The lock projection 206 is connected to the lock operation button 208 inside the outer conductor shell 204, and the lock projection 206 is pushed in interlockingly with pushing the lock operation button 208. When the lock operation button 208 is pushed in at the time of connection with the board-side connector 100, the lock protrusion 206 is disengaged from the lock hole 110, and the cable-side connector 200 can be pulled out from the board-side connector 100.

突起の配列は、図４に示す実施例に限定されるものではなく、例えば、突起群１６２に含まれる突起１６２ａ、突起１６２ｂ、突起１６２ｃ、突起１６２ｄ、突起１６２ｅが、合わせ面１７０ａの表面上において、ハウジング部材１５０ａが端子群に含まれる複数の端子を保持している部分の間又は隣にそれぞれ配置される位置であれば、直線状や曲線状等自由に並べて配列することができる。突起群１６４に含まれる突起１６４ａ、突起１６４ｂ、突起１６４ｃ、突起１６４ｄについても、同様に配列することができる。 The arrangement of the protrusions is not limited to the embodiment shown in FIG. 4, and for example, the protrusions 162a, 162b, 162c, 162d, 162e included in the protrusion group 162 may be formed on the surface of the mating surface 170a. As long as the housing member 150a is located between or adjacent to the portions holding the plurality of terminals included in the terminal group, the housing members 150a can be arranged side by side such as linear or curved. The protrusions 164a, 164b, 164c, and 164d included in the protrusion group 164 can be similarly arranged.

嵌合孔の配列は、図４に示す実施例に限定されるものではなく、例えば、嵌合孔群１６６に含まれる嵌合孔１６６ａ、嵌合孔１６６ｂ、嵌合孔１６６ｃ、嵌合孔１６６ｄ、嵌合孔１６６ｅが、合わせ面１７０ａの表面上において、ハウジング部材１５０ａが端子群に含まれる複数の端子を保持している部分にそれぞれ重ねて配置される位置であれば、直線状や曲線状等自由に並べて配列することができる。嵌合孔群１６８に含まれる嵌合孔１６８ａ、嵌合孔１６８ｂ、嵌合孔１６８ｃ、嵌合孔１６８ｄ、嵌合孔１６８ｅについても、同様に配列することができる。 The arrangement of the fitting holes is not limited to the embodiment shown in FIG. 4, and for example, the fitting holes 166a, the fitting holes 166b, the fitting holes 166c, the fitting holes 166d included in the fitting hole group 166 are included.

In other words, when integrally molding the housing members 150a and 150b that respectively hold the terminal groups, there is a jig for fixing the plurality of terminals in a fixed position in the mold, so that a material such as an insulating synthetic resin is used. A plurality of holes formed after the jig is removed and the jig is removed are formed by fitting the fitting holes 166a, 166b, 166c, 166d, 166e, 168a, 168b, 168c, 168d, 168e of the mating surfaces 170a, 170b of the housing members 150a, 150b.

Similarly, the protrusion 164a, the protrusion 164b, the protrusion 164c, the protrusion 164d, the fitting hole 164e included in the protrusion group 164, and the fitting hole 168a, the fitting hole 168b, the fitting hole 168c included in the fitting hole group 168, The fitting holes 168d and 168e are arranged on the mating surface 170b with a half pitch shift.

合わせ面１７０ａ及び１７０ｂには、それぞれ収容部１７２及び１７４が設けられる。図４に示す実施例では、収容部１７２及び１７４は、導電性部材であるプレート１６０を収容するために、合わせ面１７０ａ及び１７０ｂをプレート１６０の形状に合わせて凹面状に加工して形成される。ハウジング部材１５０ａ内では、プレート１６０が収容される位置（すなわち、収容部１７２がある位置）に、一方の端子群に含まれる複数の端子が基板に対して垂直方向に並べられた垂直部分（図５参照）が保持される。同様に、ハウジング部材１５０ｂ内では、プレート１６０が収容される位置（すなわち、収容部１７４がある位置）に、他方の端子群に含まれる複数の端子が基板に対して垂直方向に並べられた垂直部分（図５参照）が保持される。 Housing portions 172 and 174 are provided on the mating surfaces 170a and 170b, respectively. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 4, the accommodating portions 172 and 174 are formed by processing the mating surfaces 170a and 170b into a concave shape in accordance with the shape of the plate 160 in order to accommodate the plate 160 that is a conductive member. .. In the housing member 150a, at a position where the plate 160 is housed (that is, a position where the housing portion 172 is located), a vertical portion in which a plurality of terminals included in one terminal group are arranged in the vertical direction with respect to the substrate (FIG. 5) is retained. Similarly, in the housing member 150b, at a position where the plate 160 is housed (that is, a position where the housing portion 174 is located), a plurality of terminals included in the other terminal group are vertically arranged with respect to the substrate. The part (see FIG. 5) is retained.

図５は、本発明の一実施形態に係るハウジングに保持される２つの端子群の間に配置された導電性のプレートのハウジング内の状態を示す図である。図５(a)及び(b)では、ハウジング１５０を除いて、端子群１３４に含まれる複数の端子の形状、それぞれの端子の配置及び２つの端子群間に挟まれたプレート１６０の位置関係を示す。ハウジング部材１５０ａで保持される一方の端子群（第１の端子群）は、端子１から端子５を含み、ハウジング部材１５０ｂで保持される他方の端子群（第２の端子群）は、端子６から端子１０を含む。２つの端子が差動伝送に対応した１組の端子ペアを構成する。図５に示す実施形態では、端子１と端子２、端子４と端子５、端子６と端子７、端子９と端子１０がそれぞれ電気信号を伝送するための端子ペアとなる。端子３及び端子８は、グランド端子であり、それぞれ端子ペアの間に配置される。端子ペアの各端子及びグランド端子は、互いの形状に沿って平行に配置することができ、同一平面（例えば、Ｘ−Ｚ平面、Ｘ−Ｙ平面）上に隣り合わせで配置することができる。 FIG. 5 is a view showing a state in the housing of a conductive plate arranged between two terminal groups held in the housing according to the embodiment of the present invention. 5A and 5B, except for the housing 150, the shapes of the plurality of terminals included in the terminal group 134, the arrangement of the terminals, and the positional relationship of the plate 160 sandwiched between the two terminal groups are shown. Show. One terminal group (first terminal group) held by the housing member 150a includes terminals 1 to 5, and the other terminal group (second terminal group) held by the housing member 150b is terminal 6 To terminal 10. The two terminals form a pair of terminals compatible with differential transmission. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 5, the terminal 1 and the terminal 2, the terminal 4 and the terminal 5, the terminal 6 and the terminal 7, and the terminal 9 and the terminal 10 form a terminal pair for transmitting an electric signal, respectively. The terminals 3 and 8 are ground terminals and are arranged between the terminal pairs. The terminals and the ground terminals of the terminal pair can be arranged in parallel along the shape of each other, and can be arranged side by side on the same plane (for example, the XZ plane, the XY plane).

また、端子群１３４は、先端から後端までの間に、コネクタの嵌合方向に沿って後方（Ｘ１側）に延びた端子１から５及び端子６から１０を基板方向（Ｚ軸の下方）に折り曲げた屈曲部１３６と、基板方向に延びた端子１から５及び端子６から１０を、コネクタの嵌合方向に対して直交する方向（Ｙ軸方向）でコネクタの外側に折り曲げた屈曲部１３８と、軸直方向に延びた端子１から５及び端子６から１０をコネクタの嵌合方向に沿って後部側（Ｘ１側）に折り曲げた屈曲部１４０とを順に備える。 In addition, the terminal group 134 includes terminals 1 to 5 and terminals 6 to 10 extending rearward (X1 side) along the connector fitting direction from the front end to the rear end in the board direction (downward of the Z axis). The bent portion 136 bent in the direction of, and the terminals 1 to 5 and the terminals 6 to 10 extending in the board direction are bent to the outside of the connector in the direction (Y-axis direction) orthogonal to the fitting direction of the connector. And a bent portion 140 in which the terminals 1 to 5 and the terminals 6 to 10 extending in the direction perpendicular to the axis are bent toward the rear side (X1 side) along the fitting direction of the connector.

端子実装部１３２（１３２ａ、１３２ｂ）は、垂直方向（Ｚ軸方向）に並べて配置された接触部１３０に対して９０度向きを変えて水平方向（Ｙ軸方向）に隣り合わせで配置される。すなわち、それぞれの端子において、端子実装部１３２の水平方向を向いた平面は、屈曲部１３６、屈曲部１３８及び屈曲部１４０によって、折り曲げられて９０度向きを変えて、垂直方向を向いた接触部１３０の平面に続いている。 The terminal mounting parts 132 (132a, 132b) are arranged side by side in the horizontal direction (Y-axis direction) by changing the direction by 90 degrees with respect to the contact parts 130 arranged side by side in the vertical direction (Z-axis direction). That is, in each terminal, the horizontal plane of the terminal mounting portion 132 is bent by the bending portion 136, the bending portion 138, and the bending portion 140 to change its direction by 90 degrees, and the contact portion is oriented in the vertical direction. It continues to the plane of 130.

図５に示すように、ハウジング１５０で保持される端子群１３４に含まれる複数の端子を、同一平面（例えば、Ｘ−Ｚ平面、Ｘ−Ｙ平面）上で平行に隣り合わせて配置し、このような一定間隔を保った配置を屈曲部１３６、屈曲部１３８、屈曲部１４０でそれら複数の端子を折り曲げた場合でも維持することによって、複数の端子間の間隔の変化を小さくでき、インピーダンス整合の乱れ等により生じる高周波特性の悪化を抑制することができる。 As shown in FIG. 5, a plurality of terminals included in the terminal group 134 held by the housing 150 are arranged side by side in parallel on the same plane (for example, the XZ plane and the XY plane). By maintaining such a constant spacing even when the plurality of terminals are bent at the bending portion 136, the bending portion 138, and the bending portion 140, it is possible to reduce the change in the distance between the plurality of terminals and disturb impedance matching. It is possible to suppress deterioration of high frequency characteristics caused by the above.

また、端子１、２からなる端子ペアと端子４、５からなる端子ペアの間にグランド端子３が配置されていることにより、端子ペア間で生じえるクロストークの発生を抑制することができ、同様に、端子６、７からなる端子ペアと端子９、１０からなる端子ペアの間にグランド端子８が配置されていることにより、端子ペア間で生じ得るクロストークの発生を抑制することができる。このように、グランド端子を端子ペアの間に配置したことで、特に高速伝送における端子ペア間で生じえる電気的悪影響を低減させ、電気的特性の向上を図ることができる。 Further, since the ground terminal 3 is arranged between the terminal pair including the terminals 1 and 2 and the terminal pair including the terminals 4 and 5, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of crosstalk that may occur between the terminal pairs, Similarly, by disposing the ground terminal 8 between the terminal pair including the terminals 6 and 7 and the terminal pair including the terminals 9 and 10, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of crosstalk that may occur between the terminal pairs. .. By arranging the ground terminal between the terminal pairs in this way, it is possible to reduce electrical adverse effects that may occur between the terminal pairs particularly in high-speed transmission, and to improve electrical characteristics.

図５(a)に示すように、２つの端子群の各々は、コネクタを実装する基板に対して垂直方向に複数の端子が並べられた垂直部分、すなわち、先端側（Ｘ２側）の接触部１３０から後端側（Ｘ１側）の屈曲部１３８までの部分を有する。プレート１６０は、ハウジング部材１５０ａで保持される一方の端子群の垂直部分とハウジング部材１５０ｂで保持される他方の端子群の垂直部分との間で、ハウジング部材１５０ａとハウジング部材１５０ｂによって挟み込んで保持される。 As shown in FIG. 5A, each of the two terminal groups is a vertical portion in which a plurality of terminals are arranged in a vertical direction with respect to a board on which a connector is mounted, that is, a contact portion on the tip side (X2 side). It has a portion from 130 to the bent portion 138 on the rear end side (X1 side). The plate 160 is sandwiched and held by the housing member 150a and the housing member 150b between the vertical part of one terminal group held by the housing member 150a and the vertical part of the other terminal group held by the housing member 150b. It
