DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION: TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a connector that is connected to a cable. The invention is also directed to a connector mounted on a circuit board. The invention further relates to a connector system for connecting a circuit board. [Prior Art] % It is conventionally known that a connector for connecting to an electric iron includes: an electrically insulating body, a terminating member striking the body and connected to a core conductor of an electric cable; And a ground structure provided on the body to insulate from the termination component and connect to a shield of the cable. Such a cable connector can be applied to a coaxial cable having a braided or foil outer conductor (a shield) along the entire length of the cable, for example, outside the insulator surrounding the core conductor (signal line). Coaxial cables are widely used in a variety of electrical and electronic equipment, including communications equipment, information equipment, medical equipment, measuring instruments, and the like, as coaxial cables are less likely to be affected by external noise. In this case, the outer conductor of the coaxial cable is electrically connected to a potential ground potential (e.g., a grounding section of a circuit board) via one of the grounding structures of the cable connector. In recent years, there has been an increasing demand for small-sized electronic devices (such as mobile phones) in which the signal lines are connected in a density, and in order to meet such a need, a plurality of cores having a minimum size of a core conductor are used in a flat shape. Coaxial cable. A connector system having termination elements arranged at extremely narrow pitches has been developed to connect one of these flat coaxial cables to a circuit board. In this type of connector system, miniaturization has been pursued to reduce the mounting area and mounting height on the circuit board due to the constraints on the space and workability of the small electronic device for mounting components. For example, Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication (K〇kai) No. 2, No. Hei. The connector system disclosed in Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 2005-3024 (K〇kai) includes a plug connector connected to a plurality of coaxial cables and a surface mounted to a printed circuit board Jack connector. The plug connector includes a plurality of male contacts supported on a housing body and a metal housing fixed to an upper portion of the housing body. A common grounding rod is attached to the outer conductor of the plurality of coaxial cables that are in contact with the inner surface of the housing. In another aspect, the jack connector includes a plurality of female contacts and a metal housing mounted to the housing body and secured to the circuit board. When the plug connector connected to the 4 coaxial coil is fitted to the jack connector mounted on the circuit board, the housing on the plug side and the shell on the side of the jack Body contact, thereby grounding the outer conductors of each coaxial cable to the board. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In the above connector system disclosed in Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 2005-302417 (Kokai), a ground rod attached to an outer conductor of a plurality of coaxial cables is fixed to the plug The inner surface of the housing of the connector body of the connector contacts the inner surface of the housing, thereby grounding the respective coaxial electric wires to the circuit board via the two connectors. In such a configuration, the housing of the plug connector is secured to the housing body in such a manner as to cover the plurality of coaxial cables from above. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a wide space between the casing and the casing body for accommodating the coaxial cables. Therefore, when the connector is mated, or when the connector is mounted to the circuit board after mating, when an external force is applied to the housing body of the plug connector, the force can relatively easily make the housing Flexed or bent. This can create an unstable positional relationship between the housing and the coaxial winding in the plug connector, and thus, can reduce the stability and reliability of the coaxial cable grounding. There is a serious need to reduce the mounting area and mounting height on a circuit board, particularly in a connector system for connecting a cable to one of a small size electronic device as described above. However, when the external dimensions of a connector system are reduced to meet this need, it is often difficult to disconnect or disconnect the cable connector and the circuit board connector once they are mated with each other. For example, when an operator needs to pick up a cable connector with a finger or a tool and separate it from a board connector, it may often be difficult to find enough space to insert a finger or tool, or the connector can Damaged due to hard and difficult work. On the other hand, it is expected that in such a connector system, an electrical cable connector and a circuit board connector have complementary mating structures such that the corresponding terminating members of the two connectors can be stably maintained to each other properly. contact. When an externally sized connector system has such a complementary mating structure, it is often more difficult to safely separate the cable connector from the board connector. An object of at least one embodiment of the present invention is to provide a connector for connecting to a cable, comprising a grounding structure to be connected to a shielding layer of the cable, capable of improving the cable grounding structure in the grounding structure Stability and reliability. Another object of at least one embodiment of the present invention is to provide a connector for mounting a circuit board of 120809.doc 200814440, which is capable of stably maintaining the terminating element and the mating connector. Proper contact and it makes it safe and easy to separate the paired connection work. The target system provides a stability and reliability for a connector structure that can improve the cable to be connected to a circuit board by at least one embodiment of the present invention.

Embodiments of the present invention provide a connector including a termination member on which an electrically insulating body is supported and adapted to be coupled to a core conductor of a cable, and a body is provided on the body simultaneously with the end a grounding structure insulated from the component and adapted to be coupled to a shield of the cable, wherein the grounding structure includes a grounding member secured to the body; and the grounding member is adjacent to the shielding layer along the cable One surface of one side of the body is disposed such that the core conductor of the cable is connected to the termination component and to the shield. In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, an electrical shield is attached to a grounding member ' fixed to the body at a location closer to the body than itself and thereby imparts ground potential to the shield of the cable Floor. In this configuration, the grounding member can be directly and securely fixed to the body because a space for receiving the electricity is not formed between the body and the grounding member. Because of 120809.doc 200814440 this,. Even if an external force is applied to the body during the mating operation of the connector or after the mating is attached to the circuit board, the body reinforcing function of the grounding member exhibits a synergistic effect to reliably prevent the formation of deflection or V song. Thereby, the relative position of the grounding member and the cable in the connector is #to%疋 and thus the stability and reliability of the cable grounding function are significantly improved. Since the grounding material can be brazed to the surface of the electrically wound shielding layer of the body, the protruding portion of the fresh material outside the body can be substantially eliminated. This configuration is very advantageous in reducing the external dimensions of the connector (especially in the height direction) compared to the previous configuration in which a metal disposed along the outer surface of the connector is brazed to the shield of the cable. And, thereby, a further reduction in the height of the connector system including the connector can be achieved without reducing the stability and reliability of the cable grounding function described above. According to a second embodiment of the present invention, the grounding member itself has a ground contact section extending from the cable connecting section so that a conductive member is not required as a separate component, and the shield of the cable can be stably grounded to the The corresponding grounding element of the mating connector. This configuration helps reduce the number of parts in a connector and helps simplify assembly. According to a third embodiment of the present invention, in a coaxial cable assembly consisting of a plurality of a plurality of highly flexible coaxial cables having a minimum size core conductor, the grounding member can be connected to all of the ground via the grounding plate The shield of the coaxial cable is stably grounded to have good electrical conductivity. Therefore, the stability and reliability of the grounding function of a flat and multi-core coaxial cable assembly can be further improved. According to a fourth embodiment of the present invention, the cable connecting portion 120809.doc 200814440 of the grounding member has the same rectangular plate shape as the grounding plate, so that the contact resistance between the electron mirror connecting portion and the grounding plate can be reduced. . Moreover, since the grounding member has the ground contact section on the two longitudinal ends of the cable connecting section, the connection of the grounding member to the mating connector grounding element can be improved. According to a fifth embodiment of the present invention, the body reinforcing function of the grounding member and the grounding member and the deformation preventing function of the body are further improved, and the operability of the connector assembly is also improved. According to a sixth embodiment of the present invention, away from the grounding member, a shielding member is provided at a location to cover the shield of the electrical circuit so that the shielding layer can be connected to the grounding member. Therefore, by connecting the shield member to the ground potential, the shield structure of the signal transmission path in the connector can be established, and in turn, the high-speed transmission characteristics of the connector system including the connector can be improved. According to a seventh embodiment of the present invention, the mating connector can be stably fitted to a connector mounted on the circuit board to be received in its receiving recess, and additionally an operator can smoothly put his finger or The tool is inserted into a plurality of slots provided in the surrounding wall of the body to perform a picking operation and a pulling operation on the mating connector, thereby separating the mating connector from the connector on the circuit board. Therefore, even if the outer size of the connector is reduced, the mating elements of the mating connector can be stably maintained in proper mutual contact, and the pairing connector can be safely and easily separated. According to an eighth embodiment of the present invention, an object grasping tool (such as a pliers) can be used to apply a stable separation force to the mating connector 120809.doc • 10 - 200814440 by gripping Separating from the connector, and thereby more effectively preventing damage to the two connectors. According to a ninth embodiment of the present invention, the grounding member of the shielding member is in conductive contact with the mating connector, and thereby a common ground potential is transmitted to both the connector and the mating connector to establish the two A high-order shielding structure of the signal transmission path in the connector, and thereby improving the idle transmission characteristics of the connector system.

A coaxial cable assembly CA that has been subjected to such tip processing is typically commercially available from cable manufacturers. Or the 'ground plate P' can be provided as a component of the connector 10. 120809.doc • 14- 200814440 A grounding component 30 is, for example, fixedly connected by soldering or soldering to one of the grounding plates p of the respective shielding layers G that are typically connected to the plurality of coaxial cables C (closer to the body) 12) (Figure 5). More specifically, the grounding member 3 has a cable connection region #32' that is disposed to overlap the substantially entire plate closer to the one ground plate p of the body 12 and has the same rectangular shape as the ground plate p. The ground plane P is connected to the ground plane P at the entire overlapping surface 32& or the desired point of the electrical and cable connection section 32 to have good electrical conductivity. When the grounding member 30 is fixed to the grounding plate p by soldering, a through hole is formed at a desired position of the grounding member, and the through hole is used to electrically connect the grounding member 30 disposed on the grounding plate P in an overlapping manner. Welding or laser welding. In order to perform the soldering of the grounding member 30 that is incorporated into the body 12, a similar through hole may be formed at a desired position on the body 12. In the grounding member, a ground contact section 34 is provided on each of the two longitudinal ends of the cable connecting section 32. Each of the ground contact sections includes a pair of first contact pieces 34a opposed to each other and extending substantially parallel to the extending direction of the cable connecting section 32, and a second contact piece disposed between the first contact pieces 3 34b' and a contact point 36 are formed on each of the outer surfaces of the contact pads 34a, 34b for conductive contact with the grounding member of the mating connector (which will be explained below) (Fig. 3(b)). Depending on the application of the connector, various numbers of ground contact segments 34 can be provided at various other locations than those described above. The grounding member 30 is integrally fixed to and supported by the second support section 2 of the body 12, for example, by an insert molding process. Here, on the second support section 20 of the body 12, adjacent to the plurality of core conductor retaining slots 22, a generally rectangular shape in plan view extending along the longitudinal direction of the body 120809.doc -15-200814440 The opening 38 is formed in a penetrating manner between the major surface 12a and the major surface 12b (Fig. 5). A mating section 40 (which will be described below) for mating to the electrically insulative body of the mating connector is formed at the two longitudinal ends of the body 12 (Fig. 2). The grounding member 30 is disposed in a state of being properly fixed to the body 12, wherein the cable connecting portion #32 exposes most of the two surfaces 32a, 32b to the entire opening 38 of the second supporting portion 20 and one of the grounds The contact section 34 exposes all of the contact points 36 and the end regions 34c of the second contact strips 34b to the corresponding mating sections 40 (Figs. 1, 2). Moreover, in this state, a recess 42 is formed adjacent to the plurality of core conductor retaining grooves 22 on the main surface 12a of the body 12 to accommodate the coaxial cable having the pair of ground plates p attached thereto. Become the entire part of CA (Figure 4, Figure 5). In addition to the configuration in which the grounding member 30 is insert molded into the second support section 2A, various attachment methods can be employed, for example, using a grounding member in which a suitable shape is incorporated into Forming the configuration in the second support section of a suitable shape, but with the proviso that the grounding member 3 can be securely secured to the body 12, as will be explained below, when the connector 10 is mated and connected to the mating connector, Each of the ground contact segments 34 of the grounding member 30 is in conductive contact with a corresponding grounding member of the mating connector (which will be described below). The shielding layer G of the plurality of coaxial cables C connected to the grounding member 30 of the connector 1 via the grounding plate P is thereby electrically connected to the ground potential of the mating connector (for example, the connection of the circuit board on which the mating connector is mounted) District). The connector 10 further includes a shield member 44 attached to the body 12 to insulate the plurality of terminations 120809.doc -16 - 200814440 component 14. The shield member 44 is formed from a metal sheet having good electrical conductivity by, for example, a press molding process to a generally rectangular shape in plan view, and integrally includes a substantially entire major surface 12a for shielding the body 12. The main portion 44a, a pair of attachment portions 44b extending from the two longitudinal ends of the main portion 44a and fitted to the body 12, and an abutment portion 44c (Fig. 2) between the attachment portions 44b. On each of the mating sections 4'' of the body 12, a pair of attachment slots 4a are formed around the exposed end regions 34c of the second contact strips 3 of each of the contact sections 34 of the grounding member 30. The shield member 44 is attached to the body 12 by fitting the respective attachment portions 44b bent into an l shape into the corresponding fitting grooves 4a of the fitting section 40 (Fig. 1(a)). The shield member 44 in a state in which the attachment portion 44b is appropriately attached to the body is disposed on the side opposite to the cable (the shield layer G and the ground member 30 is disposed to be connected to the plurality of termination members) The core conductor arms of the plurality of cables c to the terminal members 14 are slightly separated, and all the termination members 14 and the cable C (FIG. 5) disposed on the main surface 12a of the body are electromagnetically shielded. In the state of being attached to the body 12, the shield member 44 causes the respective abutting portions 44c to be exposed to the exposed ends of the second contact pieces 34|3 of each of the ground contact portions 34 of the grounding members 3A exposed on the mating portion 4'' Section 34c is contiguous to have good electrical conductivity and is thus electrically connected to grounding member 3〇 (Fig. 1, Fig. 2). As will be explained below, by mating and connecting connector 1〇 to the mating connector, ground The potential is transmitted to the shielding member 44 via the grounding member 3〇 and the corresponding grounding member of the mating connector. In the connector 1A having the above configuration, the shielding layer 120809.doc -17- 200814440 G of the plurality of electric wires c via the grounding plate P is connected to a body that is closer to the body than itself The position of i2 is fixed to the grounding member 3〇 of the body 12, and the ground potential of the grounding member 3 can be transmitted to the shielding layer of each cable c in this configuration, and the Japanese Patent Publication No. 2-30_24 The configuration described in the case (KQkai) does not form a space for receiving the electric power C between the oscillating body 12 and the grounding member 3G so that the grounding member 30 is directly and firmly fixed to the body 12. Therefore, when - The external force is mounted to the circuit board during the mating operation of the connector or after mating: When applied to the body 12 in the φ & state, the body reinforcement function of the grounding member 3 表现 exhibits a synergistic effect to reliably prevent the grounding member 3 (and Deflection or bending occurs in the body 12). Thereby, the relative positional relationship between the grounding member 3〇 and the cable (the connector 变得^ becomes more stable, and the stability and reliability of the electrical grounding function can be significantly improved. Further, in the connector 10, the grounding member 30 can be soldered to the surface Ga of the body 12 of the shield layer G close to the plurality of cables C, so that the solder protruding portion outside the body 12 can be eliminated. Along the connection Compared with the configuration of the outer surface of the metal casing which is welded to the shielding layer of the cable, the invention is not advantageous for reducing the outer dimension of the connector 1 (especially in the high-yield direction), and Thus, a further south reduction of the connector system including the connector can be achieved without impairing the stability A reliability of the cable grounding function described above. In the connector 10 according to the illustrated embodiment, the grounding member 30 itself has a ground contact section 34 extending from the cable connection section 32 to enable the shield G of the plurality of cables C to be stably grounded to the grounding element of the mating connector without providing a conductive element for separation component. This configuration helps 120809.doc -18- 200814440 to reduce the number of parts of the connector 10 and to simplify the assembly process. Moreover, the connector 10 of the illustrated embodiment is constructed such that, for a coaxial cable assembly ca comprised of a plurality of core flexible conductors Wt having a minimum diameter, a grounding member 3 A ground plate P is stably connected to the shield layer G of all the coaxial cables C to have good electrical conductivity. Therefore, the stability and reliability of the grounding function with the coaxial cable assembly CA having a plurality of core conductors in a flat form can be further improved. Specifically, the cable connecting portion 32 of the grounding member 3 has the same rectangular plate shape as the grounding plate P, so that the contact resistance between the cable connecting portion 32 and the grounding plate P can be reduced. Moreover, the grounding member 3 has a ground contact section on the two longitudinal ends of the cable connecting section 32, so that the connection of the grounding member 30 to the grounding component of the mating connector can be further stabilized. The insertion molding and the body 12 are integrally fixed in a single-turn structure, and the body reinforcement function of the grounding member 3〇 and the deformation preventing function for preventing deformation of the grounding member 3 and the body 12 can be further improved, and the connector can be improved. The operability of the assembly is further. Moreover, since it is away from the grounding member 30, the shielding member 44 is provided at a position to cover the typhoon portion of the cable c and the shielding member 44 is connected to the grounding member, and the shielding member 44 is connectable to the ground. The potential thus establishes a shield structure for the signal transmission path in the connector cut and improves the high speed transmission characteristics of the connector system including the connector 1. The connector 10 having the above configuration can accommodate a high density connection structure by using a pole Good stability and reliability cable connection to reduce the size of the cable C wire ~ ^ body W and reduce the - series termination between the 14 120809.doc -19- 200814440 In the high-density connection structure that can be achieved by means of the connector 10, for example, the outer diameter of the cable core conductor is 〇·〇9 mm or less (AWG (American Wire Gauge) 40 or higher), the arrangement of the termination elements 14 is 〇.3 or less. In addition, the size of the connector 10 in the height direction can be reduced to about 1 mm. Figures 6 and 7 show a The connector 5 of another embodiment is in a set state and in an exploded view. The connector 5 is a circuit board connector having a terminating element connected to a conductor of a circuit board. And the paired connector of the above cable connector 1 is constructed. However, the connector according to the present invention is not limited to such an application, but can be constructed into various connectors suitable for other connection applications. Moreover, the present invention is not limited to one. The termination component is incorporated in a particular number, but can also be applied to a connector having a single termination component. The connector 50 includes an electrically insulative body 52 and a plurality of termination components 54 supported on the body 52. And attached to the body 52 The shielding member 56 is insulated by the termination member 54. The body 52 is formed of an electrically insulating resin material, and is formed into a generally rectangular shape in a plan view by, for example, injection molding. a first support section (ie, a terminating member support section) 58 along a long edge extending in the longitudinal direction for supporting the plurality of termination elements 54 in spaced parallel arrangements; a second support section 6A along a pair of short edges extending in the lateral direction for supporting the shield member 56. The plurality of termination element retaining slots 62 are equally spaced from the first support zone along the longitudinal direction of the body The segments 58 are formed in parallel to receive a plurality of termination elements 54. On the major surface 52a of the body 52, along the long edge on the side of the 120809.doc -20-200814440 opposite the first support section, An edge wall section 54 that protrudes less than the height of the first support section 58 is provided. In a region surrounded by the first support section 58, the pair of second support sections 60 and the edge wall section 64, a receiving recess 66 is formed for detachably receiving the mating connector (ie, Connector 10). In addition, each of the second support sections 6A of the body 52 defines a mating recess 68 for receiving the mating section 4 of the body 12 of the mating connector 10 in a complementary manner (FIG. 1). As a part of the receiving recess 66. In this configuration, a pair of second support sections 6 and edge wall sections 64 serve as a generally C-shaped encircling wall section in plan view to cooperate with the first support section 58 to define a receiving recess 66. The surrounding wall section (the slab section 60 and the edge wall section 64) coupled to the first support section 58 is used to make contact with the outer peripheral surface of the body 12 of the mating connector 10 and to be used for pairing The connector 10 is guided and held in position in the receiving recess 66. Thereby, an improper fit (e.g., a tilt fit) of the mating connector 10 and the connector 50 can be reliably prevented, even if the external size is as small as possible. The plurality of termination elements 54 are configured to include two types of termination element groups 54A, 54B having substantially the same shape and partially different longitudinal dimensions. Each of the termination members 54A, 54 is a needle-like member formed from a metal sheet having good electrical conductivity into a specified shape by, for example, a compression molding process, and integrally includes An intermediate attachment section 70 that is press fit into the termination component retaining slot 62 of the first support section 58 of the body 52; a contact section 72 that extends from the attachment section 70 for exposure to the first The surface of the support section 58 and the receiving recess 66 are provided as one end; and a lead section 74' extends from the attachment section 70 in a direction opposite the contact section 72 to protrude 120809.doc -21 - 200814440 The outer side of the body 52 comes as the other end. Both types of termination elements 54A, 54B are of the same size and shape except that the length of the corresponding lead segment 74 to be connected to the board conductor (which will be explained below) is different. * The contact section 72 of the female end-connecting member 54 is formed as a female contact section having a pair of bucklings having a substantially U-shape with a β 4 of 72 a. As will be explained below, when the connector 50 is mated and connected to the mating connector 1 , the female contact section 28 ( FIG. 5 ) of the corresponding termination component 14 of the mating connector 10 is mated to each of the termination components in a complementary manner. The mother of 54 contacts and is in conductive contact with section 72. The two types of termination elements 54A, 54B are alternately arranged in the longitudinal direction of the body 52, and the lead segments 74 of the termination elements 54A, 54B are arranged to stagger along the one long edge of the body 52. This staggered arrangement of the termination component lead segments 74 enables a narrow pitch arrangement corresponding to the high density connection structure of the connector 1〇 while preventing shorting of the conductor patterns on the circuit board. Instead of the above-described configuration in which a plurality of termination elements 54 are press-fitted into the first support section 58 of the body 52, a plurality of termination elements 54 may also be incorporated in the form of an insert when molding the body 52. structure. The shielding member 56 is a frame-shaped member which is formed in a substantially plan view from a metal plate having good conductivity by, for example, a compression molding process, and includes: an end-contacting element shielding portion 76, which An entire attachment section 70 for shielding the plurality of termination elements 54 attached to the first support section 58 of the body; and a grounding element 78 extending from the termination component shield area slave 76 and The ground contact area of the grounding component of the mating connector 1 is electrically conductive (Fig.). In the illustrated embodiment, the grounding element 120809.doc -22-200814440 78 is in the termination component shielding section 76. Each of the two longitudinal ends is provided in the shape of a rectangular plate. Each of the grounding members 78 has a pair of first contact pieces 78a extending substantially parallel to the extending direction of the terminating element shielding section 76. And facing each other; a second contact piece 78b disposed between the pair of first contact pieces 78a; and a ground piece 78c projecting outward on the side opposite to the second contact piece 7. Each of the outer surfaces of the first and second contact pieces 78a, 78b A contact point 80 is formed which is in conductive contact with each of the contact points 36 (Fig. 3(b)) provided on each of the ground contact segments 34 of the grounding member 30 of the mating connector 10. The component 56 is fixedly supported and assembled to the body 52 such that the two grounding elements 78 both cover the corresponding second support section 6A of the body 52. In this state, the first and second contacts of the grounding element 78 The pieces 78a, 78 are disposed inside the mating recess 68 of the second support section 60 of the body and the grounding piece 78c of the grounding member 78 is disposed to protrude outwardly from the second support section 6 of the body. The shielding member 56 Arranged to be properly assembled to the body 52 via the grounding member 78, wherein the terminating element shielding section 76 and the plurality of terminating elements 54 supported on the first support section 58 of the body are attached. The exposed surfaces of the segments 7 are spaced apart to electromagnetically shield the termination members 54. As will be explained below, when the connectors 5 are mated and connected to the mating connector J, the respective grounding members 78 of the shield member 56 are Corresponding ground contact of the grounding member 30 of the mating connector 1 The segment 34 is in conductive contact, thereby connecting the ground potential of the thief 50 (for example, the ground potential from the circuit board on which the connector 5 安装 is mounted via the ground pad 78c of the grounding member 78 to the ground of the conductor 50) to the ground via the ground plate P is connected to the grounding member 3 of the mating connector 1〇120809.doc -23· 200814440 The shielding layer G of the coaxial cable C (Fig. 5). Thus, the cable connector 1 and the circuit board are The signal transmission path formed in the connector system of the connector 50 establishes a high-order shielding structure and improves the high-speed transmission characteristics of the connector system. Figures 8 to 10 show a cable connector 10 and a circuit which are detachably combined with each other. The board connector 50 forms a view of the connector system 9'. In the connector system 90, when the cable connector 1〇 and the circuit board connector 5 are connected to each other, the connector 10 is entirely received in a complementary manner in the receiving recess 66 provided in the body 52 of the connector 5〇, And the mating segments 40 provided on the two longitudinal ends of the connector body 12 are complementarily fitted into corresponding mating recesses 68 provided on the two longitudinal ends of the connector body 52 such that the two connectors 10, 50 is maintained in a proper fit. In the proper mated state, the corresponding terminating elements 14, 54 of the two connectors 1 〇, 5 稳定 are stably connected to each other by two point contact of the corresponding contact sections 28, 72 in a male-female relationship with each other. (Figure 9). In addition, the grounding member 3 并入 incorporated in the body 丨 2 of the connector 1 在 under the appropriate fit is respectively connected to the ground contact portion 34 on the two longitudinal ends by three-point contact ( The contact points 36, 80) are stably assembled to the corresponding grounding elements 78 of the shield member 56 of the connector 5''. Here, the connector 5 surface-mounted to the circuit board R causes the respective termination elements 54 to be connected by lead wires 74 to the corresponding signal conductors si' on the circuit board r by means of soldering or the like and the two of the shield members 56 The grounding element 78 is connected to the corresponding ground conductor S2 on the circuit board r by soldering or the like by means of soldering or the like (Fig. 9). Thus, the ground potential is transmitted to the shielding members 44, 56' of the two connectors 10, 50 and transmitted to the shielding layer 120809.doc -24 - 200814440 G of the plurality of cables C connected to the connector 10, and This can improve the stability and reliability of the electrical grounding function in the connector system for connecting the cable_circuit board. In the above connector system 90, when the two connectors 1〇, 5〇 are in a proper fit, the circuit board connector 5 is configured in such a manner that the bottom plate 66a of the receiving body 66 and the receiving end 66 The female contact sections 72 of the connector members 54 overlap most of the height of the cable connector 10 (Fig. 9). Using the configuration in which the overlap in the height direction is minimized, the connector system 9 can contribute to a reduction in the total height corresponding to the structural characteristics of the cable 10 capable of reducing the external size (especially in the height direction). As already mentioned above, when the height is reduced in a conventional connector system, it may sometimes be difficult to separate the mating cable connectors from the board connectors. In order to solve such inconvenience, the circuit board connector 5 has a plurality of slots 82 with openings, and the slots 82 are dispersed and provided in the surrounding wall section (ie, the second support section 6〇 and the edge wall area) The receiving recess 66 of the body 52 in section 64) is in communication (Fig. 6, Fig. 7). Xin as shown in Fig. 10A, in a mating connector 1〇, 5〇, when an operator needs to pick up the cable connector 1〇 with a finger or a tool (not shown) and connect it to the board connector 50 When separated, the plurality of notches 82 provided on the surrounding wall sections 6A, 64 of the body 52 act very effectively as a space for the fingers or tools to be smoothly inserted. Thus, in a connector system 90 having a reduced external dimension, although provided as described above, the corresponding termination elements 14, 54 and the grounding member 30 and the shield member 56 of the two connectors 105 can be held appropriately, respectively. The fact that the complementary mating structure in the contact state (the mating section 4〇, the winding wall sections 60, 64, the receiving recess 66, etc.) does not produce 120809.doc -25· 200814440 due to difficult work Damage to the connectors 10, 50 can safely separate the cable connector 10 from the board connector. Therefore, even if the external size is reduced, the connector 5A mounted to the board scale enables the mating component 14 and the terminating member 54 of the mating connector 1 to stably maintain proper contact state and separate the mating connector. The separation work can be performed safely and easily. Similarly, even if the external size is reduced, the connector system 9 for connecting the cable to the circuit board enables the mating components 14, 15 of the mating connectors 10, 50 to stably maintain proper contact, and The separation of the separation connectors 1 and 5 can be performed safely and easily. The plurality of notches 82 formed in the surrounding wall sections 60, 64 of the body 50 of the connector 50 are disposed in the mounting area of the connector 5A on the circuit board R (ie, the 'connector system 9' Zone) so that it does not affect the high density mounting of board R. In the above configuration, as shown in FIG. 10, the plurality of notches 82 provided in the winding wall sections 6A, 64 of the body 52 of the connector 5 are preferably disposed in the longitudinal direction with respect to the bisecting body. The center line 52c of 52 is symmetrically located. Further, as seen by the body 12 of the connector 1, the plurality of notches 82 are preferably disposed at positions symmetrical with respect to the center line 12c of the bisecting body 12 in the lateral direction. By forming the plurality of notches 82 at positions symmetrical to each other with respect to a predetermined centerline defined on the connector body 52, an object pick-up tool such as a pliers (not shown) can be used to apply a balancing force. To the connector ίο to separate it from the receiving recess 66 of the connector 5〇. Thereby, damage to the connectors 10, 50 can be prevented more effectively. In the illustrated embodiment, a pair of notches 82 are provided adjacent the first support 120809.doc -26 - 200814440 section 58 of the body 52 of the connector 50. Therefore, a notch 84 is formed at a corresponding position of the shield member % so that a tool or the like can be inserted into the notch 82. By providing such a structural invention as needed, the position is provided at the position in the connector body 52. A number of slots 82 are required.
