Abstract

Provided is a connector having a double shielded construction, which connector, though simple in its configuration, can improve the EMI characteristics reliably. The connector includes a contact to be electrically connected to a connecting object, a first insulating member having a front end portion to which the connecting object is connected and a rear end portion opposed to the front end portion, the first insulating member holding the contact, a first metal member covering the first insulating member, a second insulating member holding the first metal member, and a second metal member covering the first metal member and the second insulating member. The first metal member forms a bulging portion which bulges outwards from an outer face of the rear end portion, thus being in contact with the second metal member.

Claims (38)

1. A connector comprising:

a contact to be electrically connected to a connecting object;

a first insulating member having a front end portion to which the connecting object is connected and a rear end portion opposed to the front end portion, the first insulating member holding the contact;

a first metal member covering the first insulating member;

a second insulating member holding the first metal member;

a second metal member covering the first metal member and the second insulating member; and

the first metal member forming a bulging portion which bulges outwards from a rear face of the first metal member, thus being in contact with an inner face of a rear portion of the second metal member.

2. The connector according to claim 1 , wherein the bulging portion is provided in the form of a face.

3. The connector according to claim 1 , wherein:

the second insulating member includes a groove formed in a direction perpendicular to a connecting direction of the connecting object; and

the second metal member includes an inwardly projecting portion which is fitted within the groove.

4. The connector according to claim 1 , wherein:

at the rear end portion of the first metal member, there is formed an abutment portion which abuts the second insulating member while being bound between the second insulating member and the second metal member;

movement of the first metal member toward the front end portion is prevented by abutment of the abutment portion to the second insulating member.

5. The connector according to claim 4 , wherein:

the second insulating member is fitted over the first metal member along a connecting direction of the connecting object; and

the abutment portion extends outwards from the rear end portion of the first metal member.

6. The connector according to claim 2 , wherein:

the second insulating member includes a groove formed in a direction perpendicular to a connecting direction of the connecting object; and

the second metal member includes an inwardly projecting portion which is fitted within the groove.

7. The connector according to claim 2 , wherein:

at the rear end portion of the first metal member, there is formed an abutment portion which abuts the second insulating member while being bound between the second insulating member and the second metal member;

movement of the first metal member toward the front end portion is prevented by abutment of the abutment portion to the second insulating member.

8. The connector according to claim 3 , wherein:

at the rear end portion of the first metal member, there is formed an abutment portion which abuts the second insulating member while being bound between the second insulating member and the second metal member;

movement of the first metal member toward the front end portion is prevented by abutment of the abutment portion to the second insulating member.

9. The connector according to claim 6 , wherein:

at the rear end portion of the first metal member, there is formed an abutment portion which abuts the second insulating member while being bound between the second insulating member and the second metal member;

movement of the first metal member toward the front end portion is prevented by abutment of the abutment portion to the second insulating member.

10. The connector according to claim 7 , wherein:

the second insulating member is fitted over the first metal member along a connecting direction of the connecting object; and

the abutment portion extends outwards from the rear end portion of the first metal member.

11. The connector according to claim 8 , wherein:

the second insulating member is fitted over the first metal member along the connecting direction of the connecting object; and

the abutment portion extends outwards from the rear end portion of the first metal member.

12. The connector according to claim 9 , wherein:

the second insulating member is fitted over the first metal member along the connecting direction of the connecting object; and

the abutment portion extends outwards from the rear end portion of the first metal member.
