Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a protective structure for socket connectors mainly used for electrical connections between computer equipment, and in particular, to protect existing socket connectors without any modification. This invention relates to a protective structure for a socket connector that can be used.

[Prior Art] Generally, when a socket connector is used as a connector (I/O connector) for connecting units or cases of computer equipment, etc., it is used to protect the connector and serve as a grip, and also to prevent electromagnetic interference. In order to prevent noise, a juncture shell (hereinafter referred to as shell) is required. Conventionally, when fixing a shell to a socket connector, there have been two methods: (1) providing a recess in the socket body and providing a protrusion on the shell at a position corresponding to the recess, thereby fitting and fixing the two; (2) A method is known in which a spring is attached to the shell and the shell and socket connector are fixed by the biasing force of the spring.

[Problems to be solved by the invention] However, in the conventional fixing method (1) above, the socket connector itself, which is a general-purpose product, requires special processing, and in the case of method (2), There were problems such as the need for other parts such as springs in the shell.

The present invention was developed in view of these problems, and provides a structure that protects and fixes the socket connector without requiring any processing on the socket connector itself or preparing other parts such as springs. The purpose is to

[Means for Solving the Problems] According to the present invention, a socket connector consisting of a socket body, a strain relief, and a cover for press-fitting a cable is protected and fixed by a junction shell, The juncture shell is composed of a shell body and a shell cover that sandwich the socket connector, and the shell body has a first protrusion that fits into a gap formed between the strain relief and the cover, and a first protrusion that fits into the gap formed between the strain relief and the cover. A protective structure for a socket connector is provided that includes a second protrusion for securing a strain relief at a predetermined distance from the protrusion.

[Embodiment] FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the present invention. The socket connector 5 is composed of a socket body 5, a strain relief (a cover for folding back the cable 10) 7, and a cover 6 for press-fitting the cable 10. Such socket connectors are MIL
It is commonly used as being compliant with military standards. The socket connector 5 is sandwiched between the shell cover 9 and the shell body 1 from above and below in the figure. A protrusion 2 for fitting together, and a protrusion 3 for fixing the strain relief 7 at a predetermined distance from the protrusion 2 are provided. Here, protrusion 2 and protrusion 3
The distance between them is determined according to the distance from the gap 8 to the end of the strain relief. In this embodiment, walls 4, 4 are provided on both sides of the protrusions 2, 3 in order to prevent the socket connector 5 from moving in the left-right direction. Further, for efficient harness work, it is preferable that the height a of the wall 4 corresponds to the height b of the socket connector 5 .

FIG. 2 shows an example of the usage state of the present invention. In the present invention, the cable 10 is held between the socket body 5 and the cover 6. Then, the protrusion 2 and the protrusion 3 provided on the shell body 1 are fitted into the gap 8 and the outside of the strain relief 7, respectively.

Furthermore, in the present invention, after the socket connector 5 is attached to the shell body 1, it is attached to the shell cover 9.
will be covered and fixed.

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, in the present invention, the socket connector can be protected and fixed by the junction shell without requiring any processing on the socket connector itself, which is a general-purpose product.
