Description

本発明は、コネクタおよびコネクタユニットに関する。   The present invention relates to a connector and a connector unit.

従来、基板の面同士を接続するコネクタとして、基板コネクタ（基板対基板コネクタ）が用いられてきた。   Conventionally, a board connector (board-to-board connector) has been used as a connector for connecting the surfaces of boards.

基板コネクタは、レセプタクルコネクタとして、板状のハウジングの上面に、プラグ側コネクタが挿入される溝部を設けて溝部内にコンタクトを配置するとともに、コネクタの補強およびコンタクトの電磁遮蔽のためのシェルで側壁を囲む構造を有するものを用いる場合がある。   As a receptacle connector, the board connector is provided with a groove in which the plug-side connector is inserted on the upper surface of the plate-shaped housing, and contacts are arranged in the groove, and the side wall is provided with a shell for reinforcing the connector and electromagnetically shielding the contact. In some cases, a structure having a surrounding structure is used.

ここで、コネクタの補強のためのシェルの構造としては、図１６に示すコネクタ８１のように、ハウジング８１ａの長手方向両端にコの字形のシェル８１ｂを圧入した構造がある（特許文献１）。   Here, as a structure of the shell for reinforcing the connector, there is a structure in which a U-shaped shell 81b is press-fitted into both ends in the longitudinal direction of the housing 81a as in the connector 81 shown in FIG. 16 (Patent Document 1).

一方、特許文献１の構造ではコンタクトの、基板側と接続される端部がハウジング８１ａの長手方向の側壁から露出しており、この部分の電磁遮蔽が不十分であるため、他の信号源からコンタクトに信号が流れてしまうおそれがある。   On the other hand, in the structure of Patent Document 1, the end portion of the contact connected to the substrate side is exposed from the side wall in the longitudinal direction of the housing 81a, and electromagnetic shielding of this portion is insufficient. There is a risk of signals flowing through the contacts.

そのため、図１７に示すコネクタ８３のように、コンタクト８３ｃの、基板側と接続される端部を囲むようなコの字形のシェル８３ｂをハウジング８３ａの周囲に設けた構造や（特許文献２）、図１８に示すコネクタ８５のように、一対のＬ字形のシェル８５ｂをハウジング８５ａの周囲を囲むように設けた構造がある（特許文献３）。   Therefore, like the connector 83 shown in FIG. 17, a structure in which a U-shaped shell 83b surrounding the end of the contact 83c connected to the substrate side is provided around the housing 83a (Patent Document 2), As in the connector 85 shown in FIG. 18, there is a structure in which a pair of L-shaped shells 85b are provided so as to surround the housing 85a (Patent Document 3).

しかしながら、特許文献２や特許文献３の構造では、ハウジングの短辺方向でシェルが繋がっていないため、相手側コネクタを挿入する際にハウジングが短辺方向に曲げられる、いわゆる「こじれ」に対してハウジングを補強する構造としては不十分である。   However, in the structures of Patent Document 2 and Patent Document 3, since the shell is not connected in the short side direction of the housing, when the mating connector is inserted, the housing is bent in the short side direction. The structure for reinforcing the housing is insufficient.

そこで、図１９に示すシェル８７のように、板材の中央８７ａを打ち抜いて、４辺（辺８７ｂ、８７ｃ、８７ｄ、８７ｅ）を箱形に折り曲げることにより、１つの部品でハウジング全周を囲むことが可能な形状とし、ハウジングの補強と電磁遮蔽の両立を図った構造が知られている（特許文献４）。   Therefore, like the shell 87 shown in FIG. 19, the center 87a of the plate material is punched out, and the four sides (sides 87b, 87c, 87d, 87e) are bent into a box shape to surround the entire circumference of the housing with one component. A structure is known in which the housing is reinforced and electromagnetic shielding is achieved (Patent Document 4).

しかしながら、特許文献４のような構造では、１つの部品でハウジング全周を囲ってはいるものの、４辺を折り曲げるために４隅にそれぞれスリットを設けなければならず、スリット４箇所の電磁遮蔽が不十分となるという問題があった。   However, in the structure as in Patent Document 4, although the entire circumference of the housing is surrounded by a single component, slits must be provided at each of the four corners in order to bend the four sides, and electromagnetic shielding at the four slits is prevented. There was a problem of becoming insufficient.

さらに、特許文献４のような構造では、シェルをインサート成形していることや、板材の中央を打ち抜いてシェルを形成しており、打ち抜いた部分の材料が無駄になることなどから、生産コストが悪いという問題があった。   Furthermore, in the structure as disclosed in Patent Document 4, the shell is formed by insert molding, or the shell is formed by punching the center of the plate material, and the material of the punched part is wasted. There was a problem of being bad.

このように、従来の基板コネクタは、強度、電磁遮蔽、生産コストがトレードオフの関係になっており、全てを充足させることが可能な構造はないのが現状であった。   As described above, the conventional board connector has a trade-off relationship between strength, electromagnetic shielding, and production cost, and there is no structure that can satisfy all of them.

本発明は上記問題に鑑みてなされたものであり、その課題は、強度、電磁遮蔽、生産コストの全てを充足させることが可能なコネクタを提供することにある。   This invention is made | formed in view of the said problem, The subject is providing the connector which can satisfy all of intensity | strength, electromagnetic shielding, and production cost.

図７および図８に示すように、コンタクト３ａは、ハウジング５の溝部３３ａ、３３ｂに配置され、相手側コネクタ３の相手側コンタクト１１ａ、１１ｂを挟み込むようにして接触するＵ字形のＵ字接触部４１と、Ｕ字接触部４１の一方の端部から第１側壁部５ａ側に先端が露出するように延長して設けられたＬ字形の外部接続部４３を有している。   As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the contact 3 a is disposed in the groove portions 33 a and 33 b of the housing 5, and contacts with the mating contacts 11 a and 11 b of the mating connector 3. 41 and an L-shaped external connection portion 43 provided so as to extend from one end portion of the U-shaped contact portion 41 to the first side wall portion 5a side.

次に、シェル７ａ、７ｂの構造について、図９〜図１１を参照して説明する。なお、第１の実施形態ではシェル７ｂの形状はシェル７ａの形状と同一であるため、ここでは主としてシェル７ａの構造について説明する。   Next, the structure of the shells 7a and 7b will be described with reference to FIGS. In the first embodiment, since the shape of the shell 7b is the same as the shape of the shell 7a, the structure of the shell 7a will be mainly described here.

図９〜図１１に示すように、シェル７ａは、第２側壁部５ｃに沿って配置される板状の連結本体部５１と、連結本体部５１の一方の端部から連設され、一方の第１側壁部５ｂに沿って配置される板状の短辺本体部５５と、連結本体部５１の他の端部から連設され、他方の第１側壁部５ａに沿って配置される板状の長辺本体部５３を有しており、コンタクト３ａ、３ｂのピッチ方向において、短辺本体部５５の長さ６５が長辺本体部５３の長さ６３より短い「Ｊ」字形の平面形状を有している。   As shown in FIGS. 9 to 11, the shell 7 a is connected to the plate-like connecting main body 51 arranged along the second side wall 5 c and one end of the connecting main body 51. A plate-like short-side main body portion 55 arranged along the first side wall portion 5b and a plate-like shape arranged continuously from the other end portion of the connecting main body portion 51 and arranged along the other first side wall portion 5a. The long side main body portion 53 has a “J” -shaped planar shape in which the length 65 of the short side main body portion 55 is shorter than the length 63 of the long side main body portion 53 in the pitch direction of the contacts 3a and 3b. Have.

また、連結本体部５１は、屈曲部５７を有しており、屈曲部５７からは、シェル７ａの内側（短辺本体部５５と長辺本体部５３が連設される側）に向けて突出し、相手側コネクタ３の接地端子１２ａと接触する接地用のシェル側接地部６１が設けられている。   Further, the connecting main body 51 has a bent portion 57, and protrudes from the bent portion 57 toward the inside of the shell 7a (the side where the short-side main body portion 55 and the long-side main body portion 53 are connected). In addition, a grounding shell side grounding portion 61 that contacts the grounding terminal 12a of the mating connector 3 is provided.

一方、短辺本体部５５の連結本体部５１とは反対側の端部には、シェル７ａのハウジング５への係合・固定および図示しない基板の接地端子との接続のための板状の短辺係止部５５ａが下側に向けて突出して設けられている。   On the other hand, at the end of the short side main body 55 opposite to the connection main body 51, a plate-like short for engaging and fixing the shell 7a to the housing 5 and connecting to a ground terminal of a substrate (not shown). A side locking portion 55a is provided so as to protrude downward.

同様に、長辺本体部５３の連結本体部５１とは反対側の端部には、図示しない基板の接地端子との接続のための板状の端部係止部５３ａが設けられており、さらに、連結本体部５１との接続部近傍にも長辺係止部５３ｂ、５３ｃが下側に向けて突出して設けられている。なお、長辺係止部５３ｂはシェル７ａのハウジング５への係合・固定に、長辺係止部５３ｃは図示しない基板の接地端子との接続のために用いられるが、長辺係止部５３ｂを図示しない基板の接地端子との接続に用いても良い。また、端部係止部５３ａに係止突起（図示せず）を設けて、シェル７ａのハウジング５への係合・固定にも用いるようにしても良い。更に、長辺係止部５３ｂと長辺係止部５３ｃとは隙間を介して形成されているが、隙間を設けずに長辺係止部５３ｂと長辺係止部５３ｃとを一体成形しても良い。   Similarly, a plate-like end locking portion 53a for connection to a ground terminal of a substrate (not shown) is provided at the end of the long side main body 53 opposite to the connection main body 51, Further, long side locking portions 53b and 53c are also provided in the vicinity of the connection portion with the connection main body portion 51 so as to protrude downward. The long side locking portion 53b is used for engaging and fixing the shell 7a to the housing 5, and the long side locking portion 53c is used for connection to a ground terminal of a substrate (not shown). You may use 53b for the connection with the ground terminal of the board | substrate which is not illustrated. Further, a locking projection (not shown) may be provided on the end locking portion 53a so that the shell 7a can be used for engaging and fixing to the housing 5. Furthermore, although the long side locking part 53b and the long side locking part 53c are formed through a gap, the long side locking part 53b and the long side locking part 53c are integrally formed without providing a gap. May be.

なお、長辺本体部５３の長さ６３は、コンタクト３ａをピッチ方向に完全に囲むような長さ、具体的には、第２側壁部５ｃと、第２側壁部５ｄ側の最端部にあるコンタクト３ａの間の長さに対応する長さになっている。   The length 63 of the long-side main body 53 is such that it completely surrounds the contacts 3a in the pitch direction, specifically, at the end portions on the second side wall 5c and the second side wall 5d side. The length corresponds to the length between the contacts 3a.

一方、短辺本体部５５の長さ６５は、第２側壁部５ｃと、第２側壁部５ｃ側の最端部にあるコンタクト３ｂの間の長さに対応する長さになっている。   On the other hand, the length 65 of the short-side main body portion 55 is a length corresponding to the length between the second side wall portion 5c and the contact 3b at the extreme end on the second side wall portion 5c side.

また、短辺係止部５５ａは、連結本体部５１に最も近いコンタクト３ｂと連結本体部５１の間に設けられており、端部係止部５３ａは、連結本体部５１から最も遠いコンタクト３ａよりも連結本体部５１から遠い位置に設けられている。   Further, the short side locking portion 55 a is provided between the contact 3 b closest to the connection main body portion 51 and the connection main body portion 51, and the end portion locking portion 53 a is more than the contact 3 a farthest from the connection main body portion 51. Is also provided at a position far from the connection main body 51.

このように、シェル７ａ、７ｂの形状を、「Ｊ」字形の平面形状を有する構造とすることにより、例えば図４に示すように、シェル７ａ、７ｂ（の長辺本体部５３）がコンタクト３ａ、３ｂに対向するように配置されるため、電磁遮蔽を確実に行うことができる。   Thus, by making the shape of the shells 7a and 7b have a “J” -shaped planar shape, for example, as shown in FIG. 4, the shells 7a and 7b (long-side main body portion 53) are connected to the contacts 3a. 3b is arranged so as to oppose 3b, so that electromagnetic shielding can be reliably performed.

また、図１１に示すように、シェル７ａとシェル７ｂを組み合わせた状態では、隙間が２か所のみであるため、シェルを分割することにより生じる隙間が原因の電磁遮蔽効果の低下を最小限に抑えることができる。   Further, as shown in FIG. 11, in the state where the shell 7a and the shell 7b are combined, there are only two gaps, so that the reduction of the electromagnetic shielding effect caused by the gap generated by dividing the shell is minimized. Can be suppressed.

また、シェル７ａ、７ｂの形状を、「Ｊ」字形の平面形状を有する構造とすることにより、ハウジング５の短辺方向ではシェルが繋がっているため、相手側コネクタ３が挿入される際のハウジング５の短辺方向へのこじれに対しても補強効果を発揮できる。   Moreover, since the shell is connected in the short side direction of the housing 5 by making the shape of the shells 7 a and 7 b into a “J” -shaped planar shape, the housing when the mating connector 3 is inserted. Reinforcing effect can be exerted against twisting in the short side direction.

さらに、シェル７ａ、７ｂの形状を、「Ｊ」字形の平面形状を有する構造とすることにより、シェル７ａ、７ｂを板材の折り曲げ加工で製造できるため、製造が容易であり、また、中央部分を打ち抜いてシェルを製造する場合と比べて、製造時に無駄になる材料が少なくなるため、生産コストも低減できる。   Furthermore, since the shells 7a and 7b have a “J” -shaped planar shape, the shells 7a and 7b can be manufactured by bending a plate material. Compared to the case of manufacturing the shell by punching, the production cost can be reduced because less material is wasted during the manufacturing.

即ち、シェル７ａ、７ｂは電磁遮蔽効果、補強効果、および生産コストの全てを充足させることが可能な構造である。   That is, the shells 7a and 7b have a structure that can satisfy all of the electromagnetic shielding effect, the reinforcing effect, and the production cost.

なお、長辺係止部５３ｂと短辺係止部５５ａは、互いに対向するような位置で、かつ同じ形状を有しており、端部係止部５３ａと長辺係止部５３ｃも同じ形状を有しており、図１１に示すように、シェル７ａとシェル７ｂを組み合わせた状態では、シェル７ａの端部係止部５３ａと、シェル７ｂの長辺係止部５３ｃが対向するようになっている。   The long side locking portion 53b and the short side locking portion 55a have the same shape at positions facing each other, and the end locking portion 53a and the long side locking portion 53c have the same shape. As shown in FIG. 11, when the shell 7a and the shell 7b are combined, the end locking portion 53a of the shell 7a and the long side locking portion 53c of the shell 7b face each other. ing.

また、圧入部４７ａ、４９ａ、４７ｂ、４９ｂの位置関係は１８０°の回転対称になっている。   The positional relationship between the press-fit portions 47a, 49a, 47b, and 49b is 180 ° rotationally symmetric.

このような配置にすることにより、シェル７ａ、７ｂとハウジング５を組み合わせる際に、いずれの回転位置においても取付可能となる。   With such an arrangement, when the shells 7a and 7b and the housing 5 are combined, they can be attached at any rotational position.

また、このような配置にすることにより、図示しない基板の接地端子の配置を１８０°の回転対称にしておけば、基板への取り付けの際にも、いずれの回転位置においても接地端子と係止部の接続が可能となる。
以上がコネクタ１を構成する各部材の構造の説明である。 In addition, with this arrangement, if the arrangement of the ground terminal on the board (not shown) is 180 ° rotationally symmetric, it can be locked to the ground terminal at any rotational position even when attached to the board. Can be connected.
The above is description of the structure of each member which comprises the connector 1. FIG.

このようにして、コネクタ１が組み立てられる。 Similarly, the short side locking portion 55a of the shell 7b is pressed into the press-fit portion 49a of the housing 5, the long side locking portions 53b and 53c are press-fit into the press-fit portion 49b, and the end locking portion 53a is inserted into the press-fit portion 47b. The bent portion 57 is inserted into the insertion portion 45 a, and the lower surface of the shell 7 b is abutted against the square frames 43 a and 43 b and the side frames 41 b of the housing 5 and fixed to the housing 5. At this time, the shell side grounding portion 61 is disposed in the notch 51a.
In this way, the connector 1 is assembled.

すると、図１２に示すように、相手側コネクタ３の相手側コンタクト１１ａ、１１ｂが、コネクタ１のコンタクト３ａ、３ｂのＵ字接触部４１に挟み込まれるようにして両者が接続される。   Then, as shown in FIG. 12, the mating contacts 11 a and 11 b of the mating connector 3 are connected to each other so that they are sandwiched between the U-shaped contact portions 41 of the contacts 3 a and 3 b of the connector 1.

一方、図１３に示すように、相手側コネクタ３の接地端子１２ａ、１２ｂはコネクタ１の連結溝３５ａ、３５ｂ（図６参照）に挿入され、シェル７ａ、７ｂのシェル側接地部６１と接触して接地される。
このようにして、コネクタ１に相手側コネクタ３が嵌合され、電気的に接続される。 On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 13, the ground terminals 12a and 12b of the mating connector 3 are inserted into the connecting grooves 35a and 35b (see FIG. 6) of the connector 1 and come into contact with the shell-side ground portions 61 of the shells 7a and 7b. Grounded.
In this way, the mating connector 3 is fitted to the connector 1 and is electrically connected.

このように、第１の実施形態によれば、コネクタユニット１００のコネクタ１は、平面形状が長方形の厚板状のハウジング５と、ハウジング５に保持されたコンタクト３ａ、３ｂと、ハウジング５およびコンタクト３ａ、３ｂを囲むようにハウジング５の側壁部に配置された一対のＪ字形のシェル７ａ、７ｂを有している。   As described above, according to the first embodiment, the connector 1 of the connector unit 100 includes the thick plate-shaped housing 5 having a rectangular planar shape, the contacts 3a and 3b held by the housing 5, the housing 5 and the contacts.

なお、第２の実施形態において、第１の実施形態と同様の機能を果たす要素については同一の番号を付し、説明を省略する。   In the second embodiment, elements having the same functions as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals and description thereof is omitted.

図１４および図１５に示すように、第２の実施形態に係るシェル７ｃは、シェル側接地部６１が長辺本体部５３の内側（短辺本体部５５と対向する側）に設けられている。   As shown in FIGS. 14 and 15, in the shell 7 c according to the second embodiment, the shell side grounding portion 61 is provided on the inner side of the long side main body portion 53 (side facing the short side main body portion 55). .

このように、シェル側接地部６１の位置は、必ずしも連結本体部５１に限定されるものではなく、シェル７ｃの任意の位置に設けることができる。この第２の実施形態の場合には、第２側壁部５ｃ、５ｄに設けた切欠部５１ａ、５１ｂと同様な切欠部を第１側壁部５ａ、５ｂに形成し、この切欠部にシェル側接地部を配置し、相手側コネクタの接地用の接地端子１２ａ、１２ｂにおいては、相手側コンタクト１１ａ、１１ｂが配置されている箇所に、配置するようにすれば良い。   Thus, the position of the shell side grounding portion 61 is not necessarily limited to the connection main body portion 51, and can be provided at an arbitrary position of the shell 7c. In the case of the second embodiment, notches 51a and 51b provided in the second side walls 5c and 5d are formed in the first side walls 5a and 5b, and the shell side grounding is formed on the notches. In the ground terminals 12a, 12b for grounding the mating connector, the mating contacts 11a, 11b may be disposed at locations where the mating contacts are disposed.
