Abstract

A connector ( 1 ) according to the present disclosure includes: a first connector ( 10 ) including a pair of first contacts ( 30 a ) each of which includes a first contacting portion ( 34 a ) and that are attached to a first insulator ( 20 ); a second connector ( 50 ) including a pair of second contacts ( 70 a ) each of which includes a second contacting portion ( 74 a ) and that are attached to a second insulator ( 60 ), the second contacting portion ( 74 a ) being in contact with the first contacting portion ( 34 a ) in a fitted state; and a shield member that is attached to the first insulator ( 20 ) and the second insulator ( 60 ). The shield member includes: a first shield portion ( 45 ) and a second shield portion ( 82 b ) that are respectively disposed inside and outside in a first direction, which is perpendicular to a fitting direction, with respect to the first contacting portion ( 34 a ) and the second contacting portion ( 74 a ) that are in contact with each other in the fitted state; and a third shield portion ( 83 b ) that is disposed on a circuit board (CB 2 ) side in the fitting direction.

Claims (25)

1. A connector to be mounted on a circuit board, comprising:

a first connector including a first insulator and a pair of first contacts each of which includes a first contacting portion and that are attached to the first insulator;

a second connector including a second insulator that is fittable to the first insulator and a pair of second contacts each of which includes a second contacting portion and that are attached to the second insulator, the second contacting portion being in contact with the first contacting portion in a fitted state in which the first insulator and the second insulator are fitted to each other; and

a shield member that is attached to the first insulator and the second insulator,

wherein the shield member includes

a first shield portion and a second shield portion that are respectively disposed inside and outside in a first direction with respect to the first contacting portion and the second contacting portion that are in contact with each other in the fitted state, the first direction being perpendicular to a fitting direction in which the first insulator and the second insulator are fitted to each other, and

a third shield portion that is disposed on the circuit board side in the fitting direction with respect to the first contacting portion and the second contacting portion that are in contact with each other in the fitted state.

2. The connector according to claim 1 ,

wherein the shield member includes a first shield member that is attached to the first insulator and a second shield member that is attached to the second insulator,

wherein the first shield portion is formed in the first shield member, and

wherein the second shield portion and the third shield portion are formed in the second shield member.

3. The connector according to claim 2 ,

wherein the second shield member includes a fourth shield portion that is disposed on each of two sides, in a second direction, with respect to the first contacting portion and the second contacting portion that are in contact with each other in the fitted state, the second direction being perpendicular to the first direction and the fitting direction.

4. The connector according to claim 2 ,

wherein the second shield member includes a fifth shield portion that is disposed further outside than the second shield portion in the first direction.

5. The connector according to claim 2 ,

wherein the second shield member includes an outer-peripheral-side shield portion that is disposed outside of the second insulator along the first direction.

6. The connector according to claim 1 ,

wherein the first direction is a longitudinal direction of the connector,

wherein the pair of first contacts are disposed along a transversal direction of the connector at both ends of the first insulator in the longitudinal direction, and

wherein the pair of second contacts are disposed along the transversal direction of the connector at both ends of the second insulator in the longitudinal direction.

7. The connector according to claim 1 , comprising:

a plurality of contacts that differ from the first contacts and the second contacts,

wherein the plurality of contacts are disposed along a longitudinal direction of the connector.

8. An electronic apparatus comprising the connector according to claim 1 .
