Connector
A connector includes a housing having an accommodation space with an opening on a front surface facing a mating connector side and a rear surface facing away from the mating connector side, an outer shell covering the housing including the rear surface of the housing, a contact accommodated in the accommodation space, and an inner shell positioned in the accommodation space and covering the contact. A spring portion that elastically presses the inner shell forward is provided between a portion of the outer shell along the rear surface of the housing and the inner shell.
1 . A connector, comprising:
a housing having an accommodation space with an opening on a front surface facing a mating connector side and a rear surface facing away from the mating connector side;
an outer shell covering the housing including the rear surface of the housing;
a contact accommodated in the accommodation space, the contact capable of forming an electrical connection with a mating connector; and
an inner shell positioned in the accommodation space and covering the contact, a spring portion that elastically presses the inner shell forward is provided between a portion of the outer shell along the rear surface of the housing and the inner shell.
2 . The connector according to claim 1 , wherein the inner shell includes a front shell and a back shell separated from or partially coupled to each other.
3 . The connector according to claim 2 , wherein the front shell and the back shell cover the contact and sandwich the contact from a front side and a back side.
4 . The connector according to claim 1 , wherein the spring portion is a raised piece provided on the outer shell and raised obliquely forward.
5 . The connector according to claim 4 , wherein the raised piece is elastically bent by abutting on the inner shell.
6 . The connector according to claim 5 , wherein the contact has a first extended portion extending in a front-back direction for electrically connecting with the mating connector, and a second extended portion bent and extending downward from a back end of the first extended portion, the second extended portion is connected to a circuit board.
7 . The connector according to claim 6 , wherein the raised piece abuts on the back shell at a position below the first extended portion in an up-down direction.
8 . The connector according to claim 7 , wherein the raised piece is raised at an angle of 45° with respect to the up-down direction.
9 . The connector according to claim 7 , wherein the raised piece is raised at an angle smaller than 45° with respect to the up-down direction.
10 . The connector according to claim 7 , wherein the raised piece is raised at an angle larger than 45° with respect to the up-down direction.
11 . The connector according to claim 1 , further comprising an inner housing positioned in the accommodation space and supporting the contact.
12 . The connector according to claim 11 , wherein the inner shell covers the contact and the inner housing is positioned between the inner shell and the contact.
13 . A connector, comprising:
a housing having an accommodation space, a front surface, and a rear surface;
an outer shell covering the housing;
a contact disposed in the accommodation space; and
an inner shell positioned in the accommodation space and covering the contact, a spring portion that elastically presses the inner shell in a direction toward the front surface of the housing is formed by a portion of the outer shell or by the inner shell.
