Abstract

A board-mounting type shield connector includes a contact, a housing supporting the contact and having a mating opening, a shield shell surrounding the housing and having a first board connection portion in a vicinity of a rear end portion of the shield shell, an enclosure having a plugging passage for plugging of a mating connector, and a ground member supported on the enclosure in a vicinity of a front end portion of the enclosure. The plugging passage opens in a frontward direction and communicates with the mating opening. The first board connection portion is connected to a ground pattern on a circuit board. The ground member has a second board connection portion connected to the ground pattern.

Claims (25)

1. A board-mounting type shield connector, comprising:

a contact;

a housing supporting the contact and having a mating opening;

a shield shell surrounding the housing and having a first board connection portion in a vicinity of a rear end portion of the shield shell, the first board connection portion connected to a ground pattern on a circuit board;

an enclosure having a plugging passage for plugging of a mating connector, the plugging passage opened in a frontward direction and communicating with the mating opening; and

a ground member supported on the enclosure in a vicinity of a front end portion of the enclosure, the ground member having a second board connection portion soldered to the ground pattern at a position forward of a front facing portion of the front end portion of the enclosure in the frontward direction.

2. The board-mounting type shield connector according to claim 1 , wherein the ground member contacts a shield shell of the mating connector plugged into the plugging passage and electrically connects the shield shell of the mating connector and the ground pattern.

3. The board-mounting type shield connector according to claim 1 , wherein the contact is a pair of contacts for differential signal transmission.

4. The board-mounting type shield connector according to claim 1 , further comprising a shield plate covering the enclosure.

5. The board-mounting type shield connector according to claim 4 , wherein the second board connection portion is connected to the ground pattern at a position between a front facing portion of the front end portion of the enclosure and a front end of the shield plate.

6. The board-mounting type shield connector according to claim 1 , wherein the ground member is disposed in the plugging passage.

7. The board-mounting type shield connector according to claim 1 , wherein the enclosure comprises a top face, a pair of opposing side faces and a rear face defining the plugging passage.

8. The board-mounting type shield connector according to claim 7 , further comprising a shield plate covering the top face, the pair of opposing side face and the rear face of the enclosure.

9. The board-mounting type shield connector according to claim 1 , wherein the shield shell is arranged on an exterior of the housing.

10. The board-mounting type shield connector according to claim 9 , wherein the shield shell includes a bottom wall and two opposing sidewalls arranged about the exterior of the housing.

11. A board-mounting type shield connector, comprising:

a contact;

a housing supporting the contact and having a mating opening;

a shield shell surrounding the housing and having a first board connection portion in a vicinity of a rear end portion of the shield shell, the first board connection portion connected to a ground pattern on a circuit board;

an enclosure having a plugging passage for plugging of a mating connector, the plugging passage opened in a frontward direction and communicating with the mating opening; and

a ground member supported on the enclosure in a vicinity of a front end portion of the enclosure, the ground member having a second board connection portion connected to the ground pattern at a position forward of a front facing portion of the front end portion of the enclosure in the frontward direction.

12. The board-mounting type shield connector according to claim 11 , wherein the enclosure comprises a top face, a pair of opposing side faces and a rear face defining the plugging passage.

13. The board-mounting type shield connector according to claim 12 , further comprising a shield plate covering the top face, the pair of opposing side face and the rear face of the enclosure.

14. The board-mounting type shield connector according to claim 11 , wherein the shield shell is arranged on an exterior of the housing.

15. The board-mounting type shield connector according to claim 14 , wherein the shield shell includes a bottom wall and two opposing sidewalls arranged about the exterior of the housing.
