Abstract

The present invention is to provide each of pairs of transmission contact terminals in contact units are arranged between each of two adjacent ground contact terminals. A pair of shielding pieces of each of contact plate is formed to separate fixed terminal portions of the pair of transmission contact terminals of one of the contact unit from those of the adjacent one of the contact unit.

Claims (35)

1. A high-speed transmission connector, comprising:

a plurality of first contact units each having;

a pair of transmission contact terminals each of which has a fixed terminal portion fixed to a first wiring board, and which respectively form two adjacent high-speed signal transmission paths on one common flat surface of a transmission blade;

ground contact terminals each of which has a fixed terminal portion fixed to the first wiring board, and which are provided respectively between pairs of said transmission contact terminals; and

a plurality of ground contact plates provided on another common flat surface of the transmission blade;

a plug section having a casing accommodating said first contact units;

a plurality of second contact units each having;

a pair of transmission contact terminals each of which has a fixed terminal portion fixed to a second wiring board, and which respectively form two adjacent high-speed signal transmission paths on one common flat surface of a transmission blade;

ground contact terminals each of which has a fixed terminal portion fixed to the second wiring board, and which are provided respectively on both sides of the pair of transmission contact terminals; and

a plurality of ground contact plates provided on another common flat surface of the transmission blade; and

a socket section capable of being selectively connected to said plug section, said socket section having a casing accommodating said second contact units, wherein

a pair of transmission contact terminals of said first and second contact units is provided so as to be opposed to one of the ground contact plate.

2. The high-speed transmission connector according to claim 1 , wherein

each of the ground contact plates of each of said first contact units has a shielding piece protruding toward the first wiring board to partition off between the fixed terminal portions of the pair of transmission contact terminals of said adjacent first contact unit, and

each of the ground contact plates of each of said second contact units has a shielding piece protruding toward the second wiring board to partition off between the fixed terminal portions of the pair of transmission contact terminals of said adjacent second contact unit.

3. The high-speed transmission connector according to claim 1 , wherein each of the fixed terminal portions of the ground contact terminals in said first contact units and said second contact units is bent toward a position between the fixed terminal portions of the ground contact plates to be arranged in line with the fixed terminal portions of the ground contact plates.

4. The high-speed transmission connector according to claim 1 , wherein the ground contact plates in said first contact units and said second contact units are separated so as to correspond to the pair of the transmission contact terminals.

5. The high-speed transmission connector according to claim 1 , wherein a width of plate-shaped contact portions of the ground contact terminals in said first and second contact units each are set to a width wider than that of each of plate-shaped contact portions of the pairs of transmission contact terminals.

6. The high-speed transmission connector according to claim 1 , wherein each of the fixed terminal portions of the pairs of transmission contact terminals in said first and second contact units has a holding portion for holding a solder terminal and a through-hole in the vicinity of the holding portion.

7. The high-speed transmission connector according to claim 1 , wherein the fixed terminal portions of each pair of transmission contact terminals in said first and second contact units are bent in directions away from each other, and each have a holding portion for holding a solder terminal.

8. The high-speed transmission connector according to claim 1 , wherein a length of contact portions of the ground contact terminals and ground contact plates in said second contact units each are set to a length longer than that of each of contact portions of the pairs of transmission contact terminals.

9. A plug for a high-speed transmission connector, comprising:

a plurality of contact units each having;

a pair of transmission contact terminals each of which has a fixed terminal portion fixed to a wiring board, and which respectively form two adjacent high-speed signal transmission paths on one common flat surface of a transmission blade;

ground contact terminals each of which has a fixed terminal portion fixed to the wiring board, and which are arranged respectively on both sides of the pair of transmission contact terminals; and

a plurality of ground contact plates arranged on another common flat surface of the transmission blade; and

a casing accommodating said contact units, wherein

each of the ground contact plates of each of said contact units has a shielding piece protruding toward the wiring board so as to partition off between the fixed terminal portions of the pair of transmission contact terminals of said adjacent contact unit.

10. A socket for a high-speed transmission connector, comprising:

a plurality of contact units having;

a pair of transmission contact terminals each of which has a fixed terminal portion fixed to a wiring board, and which respectively form two adjacent high-speed signal transmission paths on one common flat surface of a transmission blade;

ground contact terminals each of which has a fixed terminal portion fixed to the wiring board, and which are arranged respectively on both sides of the pair of transmission contact terminals; and

a plurality of ground contact plates arranged on another common flat surface of the transmission blade; and

a casing accommodating said contact units, wherein

each of the ground contact plates of each of said contact units has a shielding piece protruding toward the wiring board so as to partition off between the fixed terminal portions of the pair of transmission contact terminals of said adjacent contact unit.
