- the plug core wire shield 14 comes into contact with the receptacle core wire shield 24.
- the distal end force of the plug core wire shield 14 is inserted into a predetermined position inside the receptacle core wire shield 24, the distal end force increases as it goes deeper into the receptacle core wire shield 24. Due to the gradually increasing elastic force, the receptacle core wire sheath 24 presses the outer surface of the plug core wire shield 14.
- Plug core wire shield 14 When the distal end of the plug core wire is inserted into a predetermined position, the elastic force of the receptacle core wire shield 24 pressing the outer surface of the plug core wire shield 14 has a substantially constant value. After being inserted into a predetermined position, the plug signal core wire 12 is connected to the receptacle signal core wire 22.
- the plug signal core wire 12 is inserted into the receptacle signal core wire 22 after the receptacle core wire shield 24 is fully spread, and for example, the force for inserting the plug signal terminal 10 into the receptacle signal terminal 20 is reduced. can do. In addition, it is possible to prevent the plug signal core wire 12 from being bent or the like.
- the shield terminal comes in contact with the signal terminal, so that the static electricity charged in the plug signal terminal 10 is released to the ground terminal to protect the electronic circuit or to turn on the power.
- the DUT For a DUT whose order is predetermined, the DUT can be protected.
- the receptacle signal core wire 22 and the receptacle core wire shield 24 are fitted to the plug signal core wire 12 and the plug core wire shield 14, respectively. Then, the plug signal terminal 10 is electrically and physically securely connected to the receptacle signal terminal 20.
- the receptacle core wire shield 24 is formed so as to gradually increase the distance from the plug core wire shield 14 from the AA section to the BB section. This allows the receptacle core wire shield 24 to move with elasticity. In this movable space, there is a gap between the plug core wire shield 14 and the receptacle core wire shield 24 that is not filled with an insulator such as resin of the receptacle housing 60. Similarly, there is a gap between the plug signal core 12 and the receptacle signal core 22 that is not filled with the resin or the like.
- the impedance value of the mating surface between the plug signal terminal 10 and the receptacle signal terminal 20 in the AA cross section to the BB cross section is different from the impedance value of the mating surface in another place where resin or the like is filled. In comparison, it becomes big.
- the groove of the circumferentially extending portion 19 described with reference to FIG. 8 is formed in the plug signal terminal 10 by reducing the distance between the plug signal core 12 and the plug core shield 14. Correct in the direction to reduce the impedance value.
- the groove of the semicircular extension 29 described above corrects the impedance value at the receptacle signal terminal 20 in the direction of reducing the distance by reducing the distance between the receptacle signal core wire 22 and the receptacle core wire shield 24.
- the plug signal terminal 10 is a male terminal
- the receptacle signal terminal 20 is a female terminal
- One of the receptacle signal core wire 22 and the receptacle core wire shield 24 may be a female terminal, and the other may be a female terminal.
- FIG. 18 shows another example of the configuration of plug signal terminal 30.
- FIG. 18A shows an example of the configuration of the plug signal terminal 30.
- FIG. 18B shows an example of the configuration of the plug signal terminal 30 when rotated by 90 degrees with respect to the axial direction.
- the plug signal terminal 30 is a connector on the plug side, and is held by the housing on the plug side.
- the plug signal terminal 30 includes a plug signal core 32, a first shield 34, a protrusion 36, and a second shield 37.
- the plug signal terminal 30 is used, for example, as the signal terminal 724 or the signal terminal 726 (see FIG. 4).
- the receptacle connector 300 may be used as the connector 702 or the connector 710 (see FIG. 4).
- the plug signal core 32 is formed by linearly extending a conductor such as a metal, for example. One end of the plug 32 facing the coaxial cable 400 is electrically connected to the center conductor of the coaxial cable 400.
- the coaxial cable 400 is used as the cable 706 (see FIG. 5).
- the center conductor of coaxial cable 400 may be transmission line 754 (see FIG. 5).
- the first shield 34 extends in the axial direction of the plug signal core 12 from the vicinity of the tip of the plug signal core 32, and is electrically insulated from the plug signal core 32 so as to surround the plug signal core 32. Formed by the conductor.
- the first shield 34 is accommodated in a through-hole or the like provided in the housing on the plug side and having substantially the same diameter as the first shield 34.
- the protruding portion 36 protrudes in a direction away from the plug signal core 32, and is formed by extending the end force of the first shield 34.
- the plug signal terminal 30 is connected to the housing on the plug side. It is locked on the surface of.
