The sealing plate 6 may be formed by metal working or injection working. The sealing plate 6 may be integrally formed to be engaged with the cover 5 through insert molding in front of the cover 5 (in the arrow direction of the FD). The sealing plate 6 may be coupled to the shell 3 so as to be spaced apart from the cover 5 in accordance with the working tolerance, Can be coupled to the shell 3 to be in contact.

The sealing member 7 implements a waterproof function. The sealing member 7 may be installed in the shell 3. The sealing member 7 can be coupled to the shell 3 so as to be positioned forward (in the arrow direction of the FD) with respect to the sealing plate 6. The sealing member 7 may be formed to have an overall elliptical annular shape so as to surround the outer surface of the shell 3. When the receptacle connector 1 according to the present invention is installed in an electronic device, the sealing member 7 can be prevented from penetrating moisture, dust or the like by being stuck in a frame (not shown) of the electronic device. Therefore, the receptacle connector 1 according to the present invention can be implemented to have a waterproof function even in relation to the electronic device, thereby contributing to improvement of the waterproof performance of the electronic device. The sealing member 7 may be installed in the shell 3 so as to surround the outer surface of the shell 3.

The sealing member 7 is a sealing member such as silicone or Urethan in front of the sealing plate 6 in the state where the sealing plate 6 is coupled to the shell 3 Or may be formed by curing after the material is applied. 5, in a state where the sealing plate 6 is engaged with the shell 3, the portion to which the sealing material of the shell 3 is to be applied is set upward and the sealing material is applied . Thus, the sealing material is caused to flow in front of the sealing plate 6 (in the arrow direction of the FD) by gravity, and the sealing material is realized by the sealing member 7 by hardening the sealing material. The sealing material is applied to the boundary region where the sealing plate 6 contacts the shell 3. The sealing member 7 is formed in a boundary region where the sealing plate 6 and the shell 3 are in contact with each other to improve the waterproof performance against a gap generated between the sealing plate 6 and the shell 3 .

The sealing plate 6 and the sealing member 7 may be installed in the shell 3 such that the sealing plate 6 and the sealing member 7 are positioned at a portion protruding from the cover 5 in the shell 3. In this case, the shell 3 may include a support member 31 (shown in Fig. 4). The support member 31 is for supporting the sealing plate 6 and the sealing member 7. The shell 3 may be coupled to the cover 5 such that the support member 31 protrudes from the cover 5 toward the front side (in the direction of the arrow FD) so as to be located outside the cover 5. The support member 31 can support the sealing member 7 so that the sealing member 7 seals the space between the shell 3 and the electronic device outside the cover 5 have.

The sealing plate 6 and the sealing member 7 may be installed in the shell 3 so as to be positioned in the mounting groove 50 on the support member 31. 4, the length 6L of the sealing plate 6 and the length 7L of the sealing member 7 are defined with reference to the second axial direction (Y axis direction, shown in FIG. 4) The sum may be implemented as a value smaller than the length 50L (shown in Fig. 4) of the installation groove 50. [ The second axis direction (Y axis direction) is a direction perpendicular to the first axis direction (X axis direction). The sealing plate 6 and the sealing member 7 may be installed in the shell 3 such that a part of the installation groove 50 is left forward (in the arrow direction of the FD).

Although not shown, the sum of the length 6L of the sealing plate 6 and the length 7L of the sealing member 7 with respect to the second axial direction (Y-axis direction) May be implemented with the same length as the length 50L. In this case, the sealing plate 6 and the sealing member 7 may be installed in the shell 3 so as to cover the entire surface of the portion protruding from the cover 5 in the shell 3 . Accordingly, the receptacle connector 1 according to the present invention can further improve the waterproof performance for electronic devices.

2 to 7, the sealing plate 6 may include a support surface 61 (shown in FIG. 5) and a receiving groove 62 (shown in FIG. 5).

The supporting surface 61 supports the sealing member 7 at the back (BD) direction of the sealing member 7 (shown in FIG. 4) The arrow direction) can be restricted. Therefore, the receptacle connector 1 according to the present invention allows the sealing member 7 (7) to be fixed to the receptacle connector 1 using the supporting surface 61 when vibrations, shaking, or the like occur in the process of inserting and separating the plug connector, Is prevented from being released toward the rear side (BD arrow direction) so that the sealing member 7 is firmly held in a state of being hermetically sealed between the shell 3 and the electronic apparatus. The support surface 61 may be a surface disposed on the front side (in the arrow direction of the FD) among the surfaces formed on the sealing plate 6. Accordingly, when the sealing member 7 is coupled to the shell 3, a portion of the sealing member 7 facing the backward direction (the direction of the arrow BD) can be supported by the supporting surface 61 have.

4, the shell 3 may be formed such that an end 32 (shown in FIG. 4) of the support member 31 protrudes outwardly from the support member 31. As shown in FIG. The end 32 may be formed to protrude from the support member 31 at a position spaced apart from the sealing member 7 in the forward direction (arrow direction of the FD). Accordingly, the receptacle connector 1 according to the present invention can realize a structure for preventing the sealing member 7 from being displaced forward (in the arrow direction of the FD) by using the end portion 32. Therefore, the receptacle connector 1 according to the present invention is realized such that the sealing member 7 coupled to the support member 31 is held more firmly with the space between the shell 3 and the electronic device sealed .

Although not shown, the receptacle connector 1 according to the present invention may not be formed such that the end 32 of the support member 31 protrudes outward from the support member 31. That is, as described above, since the receptacle connector 1 according to the present invention forms the sealing member 7 by applying the sealing material and curing it, the sealing member 7 prevents the sealing of the shell 3 and the sealing Can be firmly coupled to the plate (6). Therefore, the receptacle connector 1 according to the present invention can prevent the sealing member 7 from moving forward (in the direction of the arrow FD) even when vibrations, shaking, or the like occur in the process of inserting and separating the plug connector, The separation of the sealing member 7 can be prevented without any additional operation for forming the end 32 of the support member 31 to protrude.

The receiving groove (62) is for receiving the sealing member (7). The receiving groove 62 may be formed to be recessed from the supporting surface 61 toward the backward direction (BD arrow direction). The sealing member 7 may be inserted into the receiving groove 62 and coupled to the sealing plate 6. That is, the sealing member 7 may be inserted into the receiving groove 62 by applying a sealing material to the receiving groove 62 and curing the sealing member. The sealing plate 6 supports the portion of the sealing member 7 inserted into the receiving groove 62 to limit the movement of the sealing member 7 toward the rear side can do.

6, the receiving groove 62 may be formed on the entire outer surface of the shell 3 in which the sealing plate 6 contacts the shell 3. That is, the sealing plate 6 includes the receiving grooves 62 in the boundary regions coupled to the upper surface 3a, the lower surface 3b, the seating surface 3c, and the right surface 3d of the shell 3, can do. In this case, the sealing material flows due to gravity and fills the inside of the receiving groove 62, so that the sealing member 7 is positioned in the boundary region where the sealing plate 6 is engaged with the shell 3, 3 and the right and left side surfaces 3a, 3b, 3c, and 3d, respectively, so that watertightness with respect to the boundary region between the sealing plate 6 and the shell 3 The function can be improved.

The sealing plate 6 may be formed to protrude further from the shell 3 than the sealing member 7. That is, the length 6H of the sealing plate 6 is longer than the lengths 71H and 72H of the sealing member 7 with respect to the third axis direction (Z-axis direction, shown in FIG. 7) . As described above, in the receptacle connector 1 according to the present invention, a sealing material is applied to the front side of the sealing plate 6 (in the arrow direction of the FD) and cured to form the sealing member 7. Therefore, in order to prevent the sealing material from overflowing the supporting surface 61 of the sealing plate 6 in the course of applying the sealing material, the receptacle connector 1 according to the present invention is arranged such that the sealing plate 6 is fixed to the sealing member 6, Is formed so as to protrude further outwardly from the shell (3) compared to the shell (7). The length of the sealing plate 6 protruding further outwardly from the shell 3 relative to the sealing member 7 can be set in consideration of the viscosity of the sealing material forming the sealing member 7 and the like.

The sealing member 7 may be formed to protrude further from the shell 3 than the cover 5. That is, the lengths 71H and 72H of the sealing member 7 are larger than the length 51H of the upper cover 51 and the length of the lower cover 52 with respect to the third axis direction (Z-axis direction) Is formed longer. Accordingly, the sealing member 7 is elastically compressed as it is in close contact with the frame of the electronic apparatus, so that the frame of the electronic apparatus can be pressed by the restoring force. Therefore, the receptacle connector 1 according to the present invention can be realized to have better waterproof performance.

The sealing member 7 may be formed so as to protrude further from the shell 3 toward the rear side (in the direction of the arrow BD) than the front side (in the arrow direction of the FD). That is, the length 71H of the sealing member 7 formed on the rear side (BD arrow direction) with respect to the third axis direction (Z axis direction) is smaller than the length (71H) of the sealing member 7 The length 72H is longer than the length 72H. As another example, the sealing member 7 may be formed so that the length based on the third axial direction (Z-axis direction) increases toward the rear (BD arrow direction). As described above, the receptacle connector 1 according to the present invention is configured such that the sealing member 7 is formed longer on the rear side (BD arrow direction) side supported by the supporting surface 61 of the sealing plate 6, The member 7 can be more stably supported by the sealing plate 6.

Next, when the machining unit 300 is formed into a shape in which the one end of the machining unit 300 is closed and the other end thereof is opened by the machining apparatus 200, a part of the machining unit 300 is cut. Accordingly, the processed portion 300 can be manufactured as the shell body 30 by molding the open end of the processed portion 300. In this case, a step of cutting a portion of the other side of the processing portion 300 may be performed.

Through the above-described processes, the shell body 30 may be integrally formed so as to have no joint 34 as shown in FIGS. 20 and 21. Therefore, the receptacle connector 1 according to the present invention can be provided with a waterproof function while reducing the number of workings, so that the manufacturing cost can be reduced, and the productivity can be improved by shortening the manufacturing time. In addition, the receptacle connector 1 according to the present invention can intrinsically block the possibility of penetration of water or the like through the joint 34, thereby enhancing the waterproof performance.

The receiving hole (33) is formed through the shell body (30). The receiving hole (33) can function as a connection space in which the plug connector is connected to the contacts (2). The plug connector is moved rearward (in the direction of the arrow of the BD) in front of the shell 3 (in the arrow direction of the FD) and is inserted into the receiving hole 33 so as to be inserted into the contact 2 located in the receiving hole 33 Can be connected. The receiving hole 33 may function as a receiving space for receiving the waterproof portion 9. [ The waterproof portion 9 can be realized by applying the potting liquid to the receiving hole 33 at the rear side of the shell 3 (in the direction of the arrow BD) and then curing. The receiving hole 33 may be formed through a step of processing the plate member 100 by a deep drawing method.

The receiving hole 33 may be formed in a smaller size than the blocking member 412 (shown in FIG. 18). A portion having the maximum cross-sectional area in the blocking member 412 is formed in the receiving hole 33 (Y-axis direction) with reference to a vertical section perpendicular to the first axial direction (X-axis direction) and the second axial direction Sectional area larger than the cross-sectional area. Accordingly, the first insulating portion 41 may be coupled to the shell body 30 in an interference fit manner using the blocking member 412. Therefore, the receptacle connector 1 according to the present invention can further prevent the leakage of the potting liquid through the clearance between the shell body 30 and the first insulating portion 41, thereby further enhancing the waterproof performance.

In addition, when the lower cover body 521 is formed in a large area, the area of the lower cover body 521 contacting the substrate is increased, so that interference with the substrate may increase.

Therefore, the receptacle connector 1 according to the present invention reduces the interference between the lower cover body 521 and the board by implementing the lower cover body 521 so as to cover only a part of the lower surface of the shell 3 And the manufacturing cost can be lowered by reducing the process cost.

That is, the through hole 422 is positioned to overlap the coupling hole 522 with reference to the first axial direction (X-axis direction) and the second axial direction (Y-axis direction). The area where the wedge member 512 is formed on the plane formed by the first axial direction (X-axis direction) and the second axial direction (Y-axis direction) is determined such that the through hole 422 and the engagement hole 522 overlap As shown in FIG.
