Abstract

A connector 10 is provided with an inner conductor 13 to be connected to a wire 18 , a dielectric 14 for accommodating the inner conductor 13 , and an electrically conductive impedance adjusting member 12 to be mounted on the wire. The inner conductor 13 includes a base portion 33 and an insulation barrel piece 35 rising from the base portion 33 and to be crimped to a coating 23 of the wire 18 . The insulation barrel piece 35 includes an inclined portion 39 inclined toward the impedance adjusting member 12 with distance from the base portion 33 on an end edge on a side facing the impedance adjusting member 12.

Claims (11)

1. A connector, comprising:

an inner conductor to be connected to a wire;

a dielectric for accommodating the inner conductor; and

an electrically conductive impedance adjusting member to be mounted on the wire,

wherein:

the inner conductor includes a base portion and an insulation barrel piece rising from the base portion and to be crimped to a coating of the wire, and

the insulation barrel piece includes an inclined portion inclined toward the impedance adjusting member with distance from the base portion on an end edge on a side facing the impedance adjusting member.

2. The connector of claim 1 , wherein the inclined portion is inclined rearward from the base portion toward top.

3. The connector of claim 2 , wherein the inclined portion and a front end of the impedance adjusting member face each other in parallel or nearly in parallel.

4. The connector of claim 2 , wherein the inclined portion is formed by a step of being deformed by a crimping die when the inner conductor is connected to the wire.

5. The connector of claim 2 , wherein the inclined portion is formed by a metal stamping process when the inner conductor is formed.
