Description

本発明は、回路基板に取り付けられ該回路基板の回路面に沿った方向で相手コネクタと嵌合する回路基板用Ｌ型電気コネクタ及びその製造方法に関する。 The present invention relates to an L-shaped electric connector for a circuit board that is attached to a circuit board and that fits with a mating connector in a direction along the circuit surface of the circuit board, and a method for manufacturing the same.

この種のコネクタでは、ハウジングにより保持された端子が回路基板の回路面に沿って相手コネクタに向う接触部と、これに対し直角で上記回路面に向う接続部とを有していてＬ型をなしている。ハウジングは、上記端子の接触部を収め相手コネクタの対応嵌合部を受け入れるよう前方に開口された受入凹部を形成する嵌合部と、端子を接触部と接続部の間で保持する端子保持部とを有し、該端子保持部の底面が回路基板の回路基板に位置するように配置され、端子保持部の底面から突出する接続部が回路面上に面するように位置させ、端子保持部の底面から突出する接続部が上記回路基板に半田等で接続される。 In this type of connector, the terminal held by the housing has an L-shaped contact portion that faces the mating connector along the circuit surface of the circuit board and a connection portion that faces the circuit surface at a right angle to the contact portion. I'm doing it. The housing includes a fitting portion that accommodates the contact portion of the terminal and forms a receiving recess that is opened forward to receive the corresponding fitting portion of the mating connector, and a terminal holding portion that holds the terminal between the contact portion and the connection portion. The terminal holding portion is arranged so that the bottom surface of the terminal holding portion is located on the circuit board of the circuit board, and the connecting portion protruding from the bottom surface of the terminal holding portion is positioned so as to face the circuit surface. The connecting portion protruding from the bottom surface of the circuit board is connected to the circuit board by solder or the like.

かかるコネクタは、例えば、特許文献１に開示されており、この特許文献１のコネクタは、その図６に見られるように、ハウジングにシールド板が取り付けられている。該シールド板は、上側シールド板（特許文献１での呼称は上部シールド２２ａ）と下側シールド板（下部シールド３４ａ）とから成り、上側シールド板（上部シールド２２ａ）がコネクタの嵌合部に取り付けられるコネクタ側上部シールド要素２４ａと端子保持部に取り付けられる後部の上部シールド要素２６ａの二要素を接続してＬ字状に形成され、下側シールド板（下部シールド３４ａ）が嵌合部に取り付けられるコネクタ側下部シールド要素３６ａと端子保持部に取り付けられる（後部の）下部シールド要素３８ａの二要素を接続してＬ字状に形成している。 Such a connector is disclosed in, for example, Patent Document 1, and the connector of Patent Document 1 has a shield plate attached to a housing as shown in FIG. The shield plate is composed of an upper shield plate (named in Patent Document 1 is the upper shield 22a) and a lower shield plate (lower shield 34a), and the upper shield plate (upper shield 22a) is attached to the fitting portion of the connector. The two elements of the upper shield element 24a on the connector side and the upper shield element 26a attached to the terminal holding portion are connected to form an L shape, and the lower shield plate (lower shield 34a) is attached to the fitting portion. The two elements of the lower shield element 36a on the connector side and the lower shield element 38a (at the rear) attached to the terminal holding portion are connected to form an L shape.

かくして、特許文献１のコネクタは、そのハウジングに取り付けられる上部シールド２２ａと下部シールド３４ａとによりシールド機能が与えられている。 Thus, the connector of Patent Document 1 is provided with a shielding function by the upper shield 22a and the lower shield 34a attached to the housing.

特許文献１では、上部シールド２２ａにおけるコネクタ側上部シールド要素２４ａと下部シールド３４ａにおけるコネクタ側下部シールド要素３６ａとを、平板状をなす共通要素として形成したいが故に、上記上部シールド２２ａそして下部シールド３４ａのいずれも二要素に分割し、上述のように上部シールドと共通要素としていると考えられる。 In Patent Document 1, since it is desired to form the connector-side upper shield element 24a in the upper shield 22a and the connector-side lower shield element 36a in the lower shield 34a as common elements forming a flat plate, the upper shield 22a and the lower shield 34a It is considered that both are divided into two elements and shared with the upper shield as described above.

特許第５７１１１３７号Patent No. 5711137

特許文献１では、上部シールド２２ａそして下部シールド３４ａの両者は二要素に分割されていて、いずれもハウジングの外表面に取り付けられているので、ハウジングへの取付けは容易である。 In Patent Document 1, both the upper shield 22a and the lower shield 34a are divided into two elements, and both are attached to the outer surface of the housing, so that the upper shield 22a and the lower shield 34a are easily attached to the housing.

しかしながら、シールド板を備えたＬ型のコネクタにあっては、嵌合部に位置するシールド板の部分を受入凹部の空間内に収めたいという要請もある。かかる要請に対しては、特許文献１に開示されたように、上部シールドと下部シールドのそれぞれが二要素に分割されているので、コネクタ側上部シールド要素２４ａとコネクタ側下部シールド要素３６ａの両要素を嵌合部の前方から後方に向け受入凹部内に挿入し、上記両要素の後端をハウジング外に突出するように位置させれば、ハウジング外面に位置する後部の上部シールド要素２６ａそして下部シールド要素３８ａを上記両要素のそれぞれの突出部分に接続することで対応可能である。 However, in the case of an L-shaped connector provided with a shield plate, there is also a request that the portion of the shield plate located at the fitting portion should be accommodated in the space of the receiving recess. In response to such a request, as disclosed in Patent Document 1, since each of the upper shield and the lower shield is divided into two elements, both the upper shield element 24a on the connector side and the lower shield element 36a on the connector side are both elements. Is inserted into the receiving recess from the front to the rear of the fitting portion, and the rear ends of both elements are positioned so as to protrude out of the housing. This can be done by connecting the element 38a to the protruding portions of both of the above elements.

しかしながら、上部シールド２２ａはハウジングの上側外面すなわちＬ型の屈曲外側面に位置するので該上部シールド２２ａの該上部シールド２２ａの二要素２４ａ，２６ａが比較的大きい部材となるのに対し、下部シールド３４はハウジングの下側外面すなわちＬ型の屈曲内側面に位置するので、該下部シールド３４の二要素３６ａ，３８ａのうち、後部の下部シールド要素３８ａは上記上部シールド２２ａの後部の上部シールド要素２６ａに比し、きわめて小さくなる。 However, since the upper shield 22a is located on the upper outer surface of the housing, that is, the L-shaped bent outer surface, the two elements 24a and 26a of the upper shield 22a of the upper shield 22a are relatively large members, whereas the lower shield 34 Is located on the lower outer surface of the housing, that is, on the inner side surface of the L-shaped bend. In comparison, it is extremely small.

コネクタにおいては、他の機器部品と同様に、構成部材の点数は少ないことが望ましい。上述のコネクタのシールド板に関しては、少なくとも、ハウジング下面に取り付けられる下側シールド板（特許文献１では下部シールド）は二分割すると、二要素のうち少なくとも一方がきわめて小さくなってしまい、両要素の製作そして接続が面倒となるので、分割することなく一部材として形成したいという要請がある。しかし、受入凹部内にシールド板の一部を収めるコネクタにあっては、上述の一部材構成とする下側シールド板を、その一部（受入凹部内で相手コネクタのシールド部材と接触する接触部を有する部分）がハウジングの受入凹部内に位置し他部（回路基板に接続される接続部を有する部分）がハウジングの外面に位置するようにするためには、上記一部と他部が直角に屈曲されているので、単純には前方からハウジングに組み込めば良いということにはならず、この下側シールド板とハウジングとをどのように作成しどのように組み込めばよいかという問題が残る。 In the connector, as with other equipment parts, it is desirable that the number of constituent members is small. Regarding the shield plate of the connector described above, if at least the lower shield plate (lower shield in Patent Document 1) attached to the lower surface of the housing is divided into two, at least one of the two elements becomes extremely small, and both elements are manufactured. And since the connection becomes troublesome, there is a request to form it as one member without dividing it. However, in the case of a connector in which a part of the shield plate is housed in the receiving recess, a part of the lower shield plate having the above-mentioned one member configuration (a contact portion that contacts the shield member of the mating connector in the receiving recess). In order for the other part (the part having the connection part connected to the circuit board) to be located in the receiving recess of the housing and the other part to be located on the outer surface of the housing, the above part and the other part are at right angles. Since it is bent at a right angle, it is not simply necessary to incorporate it into the housing from the front, but the problem of how to create and incorporate the lower shield plate and the housing remains.

本発明は、かかる事情に鑑み、下側シールド板を一部材で形成して、しかも、受入凹部内に一部が収容され他部がハウジング外に位置するようにハウジングへの組込みを可能とするシールド板を備えた回路基板用Ｌ型電気コネクタ及びその製造方法を提供することを課題とする。 In view of such circumstances, the present invention makes it possible to form the lower shield plate with one member, and to incorporate it into the housing so that a part of the lower shield plate is housed in the receiving recess and the other part is located outside the housing. An object of the present invention is to provide an L-shaped electric connector for a circuit board provided with a shield plate and a method for manufacturing the same.

本発明によれば、上述の課題は、次の第一発明に係る回路基板用Ｌ型電気コネクタ、第二発明に係る回路基板用Ｌ型電気コネクタの製造方法により解決される。 According to the present invention, the above-mentioned problems are solved by the method for manufacturing the L-shaped electric connector for a circuit board according to the first invention and the L-shaped electric connector for a circuit board according to the second invention.

＜第一発明＞
第一発明に係る回路基板用Ｌ型電気コネクタは、回路基板に取り付けられ該回路基板の実装面に沿う方向で相手コネクタと嵌合する嵌合部そして端子を保持する端子保持部が形成された電気絶縁材のハウジングと、一端側が上記嵌合部にて相手コネクタに設けられた相手端子と接触する接触部をなし他端側が端子保持部の底面から突出し回路基板に接続される接続部をなしている端子と、ハウジングに取り付けられ該端子をシールドするシールド板とを有する。 <First invention>
The L-shaped electric connector for a circuit board according to the first invention has a fitting portion that is attached to the circuit board and that fits with the mating connector in the direction along the mounting surface of the circuit board, and a terminal holding portion that holds the terminals. The housing of the electrical insulation material and one end side have a contact part that contacts the mating terminal provided on the mating connector at the above fitting part, and the other end side has no connecting part that protrudes from the bottom surface of the terminal holding part and is connected to the circuit board. It has a terminal that is attached to the housing and a shield plate that is attached to the housing and shields the terminal.

かかる回路基板用Ｌ型電気コネクタにおいて、第一発明では、ハウジングの嵌合部は、相手コネクタの対応嵌合部を受け入れるために相手コネクタに向いて前方に開口された受入凹部を形成し、該受入凹部内に端子の接触部が収められ、シールド板は、回路基板寄り位置でハウジングに取り付けられる下側シールド板と、回路基板から離れた位置でハウジングに取り付けられる上側シールド板とを有し、上側シールド板は、ハウジングの端子保持部の後部位置で回路基板に接地される後方接地部を有するとともにＬ字状をなしてハウジングの端子保持部の外面に位置する上側外シールド部と、該上側外シールド部とは別体をなしかつ該上側外シールド部と導通した状態でハウジングの受入凹部内に位置して相手コネクタの対応シールド板と接触可能な上側内シールド部とを有し、下側シールド板は、ハウジングの端子保持部の前部位置で回路基板に接地される前方接地部を有するとともにハウジングの受入凹部内に位置して相手コネクタの対応シールド板と接触可能な下側内シールド部を有し、上記前方接地部から上方に延びる立上り部を経て、該立上り部の上端で、前方に向け屈曲されて下側内シールド部に至り、前方接地部、立上り部そして下側内シールド部が一部材として形成されており、ハウジングは、受入凹部から端子保持部の底面まで延び該底面で開口する貫通孔が形成されており、該貫通孔は、上記下側シールド板を受入凹部内へ後方に向け挿入したとき、上記立上り部及び前方接地部の進入を許容するとともに前方接地部の回路基板までの降下移動を許容する空間として形成されていることを特徴としている。 In such an L-shaped electric connector for a circuit board, in the first invention, the fitting portion of the housing forms a receiving recess that is opened forward toward the mating connector in order to receive the corresponding fitting portion of the mating connector. The contact portion of the terminal is housed in the receiving recess, and the shield plate has a lower shield plate attached to the housing at a position closer to the circuit board and an upper shield plate attached to the housing at a position away from the circuit board. The upper shield plate has a rear grounding portion that is grounded to the circuit board at the rear position of the terminal holding portion of the housing, and has an L-shape and is located on the outer surface of the terminal holding portion of the housing. It has an upper inner shield part that is separate from the outer shield part and is located in the receiving recess of the housing in a state of being conductive with the upper outer shield part and can contact the corresponding shield plate of the mating connector, and is on the lower side. The shield plate has a front grounding portion that is grounded to the circuit board at the front position of the terminal holding portion of the housing, and is located in the receiving recess of the housing and has a lower inner shield portion that can contact the corresponding shield plate of the mating connector. At the upper end of the rising portion, it is bent forward to reach the lower inner shield portion, and the front ground contact portion, the rising portion, and the lower inner shield portion. Is formed as one member, the housing extends from the receiving recess to the bottom surface of the terminal holding portion, and a through hole is formed which opens at the bottom surface. When inserted toward the rear, it is characterized in that it is formed as a space that allows the rising portion and the front grounding portion to enter and the front grounding portion to move down to the circuit board.

第一発明では、ハウジングには貫通孔が形成されていて、該貫通孔は、上記下側内シールド板を受入凹部内へ後方に向け挿入したとき、上記立上り部及び前方接地部の進入を許容するとともに前方接地部の回路基板までの降下移動を許容するようになっている。したがって、下側シールド板が、立上り部の分の上下方向寸法を有していても、貫通孔へ立上り部及び前方接地部を後方へ向けて進入させ、該貫通孔で前方接地部を降下移動させることにより、下側シールド板をハウジングに組み込むことが可能となっている。 In the first invention, a through hole is formed in the housing, and the through hole allows the rising portion and the front ground contact portion to enter when the lower inner shield plate is inserted rearward into the receiving recess. At the same time, it is designed to allow the descent movement of the front grounded portion to the circuit board. Therefore, even if the lower shield plate has a vertical dimension corresponding to that of the rising portion, the rising portion and the front ground contact portion are made to enter the through hole toward the rear, and the front ground contact portion is moved downward through the through hole. By making it possible, the lower shield plate can be incorporated into the housing.

第一発明において、下側シールド板は、該下側シールド板の下側内シールド部の前端部が下方へ屈曲された規制部を有し、下側内シールド部を後方に向け受入凹部内に挿入したとき、該規制部がハウジングの受入凹部の開口縁部と係止可能に位置して該下側シールド板の後方へ向けた所定位置以上の進入を規制することが可能であることとしてもよい。 In the first invention, the lower shield plate has a regulating portion in which the front end portion of the lower inner shield portion of the lower shield plate is bent downward, and the lower inner shield portion is directed rearward into the receiving recess. Even if the restricting portion is positioned so as to be locked with the opening edge of the receiving recess of the housing when inserted, it is possible to restrict the entry of the lower shield plate beyond a predetermined position toward the rear. good.

このように下側内シールド部の前端部に規制部が形成されていることにより、ハウジングへの下側シールド板の組込時にて、下側内シールド部を後方に向け受入凹部内に挿入したとき、該規制部がハウジングの受入凹部の開口縁部と係止可能に位置する。したがって、後方へ向けた該下側シールド板の所定位置以上の進入が規制されるので、下側シールド板を正規位置に組み込むことができる。 Since the regulating portion is formed at the front end of the lower inner shield portion in this way, when the lower shield plate is incorporated into the housing, the lower inner shield portion is inserted rearward into the receiving recess.

On the other hand, the leg portions 72 located at both ends in the connector width direction are formed to have a narrow width, and have only one rising portion 72B.

取付片７３は、コネクタ幅方向でハウジング１０の下側取付溝１４Ａに対応する複数箇所（本実施形態では四箇所）にて、隣接し合う案内部７４の間に設けられており、コネクタ幅方向に見たときに下側内シールド部７１の前端縁からクランク状をなすように屈曲して形成されている。図３及び図５に見られるように、取付片７３は、上側内シールド部６０の取付片６４を上下反転させたような形状をなしており、下方へ延びてから前方へ屈曲されて延びており、前方へ延びる部分が下側取付溝１４Ａで圧入保持される圧入部７３Ａとして形成されている。該圧入部７３Ａは、下側シールド板７０のシールド面（下側内シールド部７１の板面）に対して下方に偏倚して位置しているともに、該シールド面に対して平行な平板状をなしている。該圧入部７３Ａの両側縁（コネクタ嵌合方向に延びる側縁）には、圧入突起７３Ａ−１が形成されており（図４及び図５参照）、圧入部７３Ａが下側取付溝１４Ａへ前方から圧入された際、該圧入突起７３Ａ−１が下側取付溝１４Ａの内壁面に喰い込むことにより下側シールド板７０がハウジング１０の嵌合部１１に取り付けられる。 The mounting pieces 73 are provided between adjacent guide portions 74 at a plurality of locations (four locations in this embodiment) corresponding to the lower mounting grooves 14A of the housing 10 in the connector width direction, and are provided in the connector width direction. It is formed by bending so as to form a crank shape from the front end edge of the lower inner shield portion 71 when viewed from. As can be seen in FIGS. 3 and 5, the mounting piece 73 has a shape in which the mounting piece 64 of the upper inner shield portion 60 is turned upside down, and extends downward and then bends forward and extends. The portion extending forward is formed as a press-fitting portion 73A that is press-fitted and held by the lower mounting groove 14A. The press-fitting portion 73A is positioned so as to be offset downward with respect to the shield surface of the lower shield plate 70 (the plate surface of the lower inner shield portion 71), and has a flat plate shape parallel to the shield surface. I'm doing it. Press-fitting projections 73A-1 are formed on both side edges (side edges extending in the connector fitting direction) of the press-fitting portion 73A (see FIGS. 4 and 5), and the press-fitting portion 73A is forward to the lower mounting groove 14A. When the press-fitting projection 73A-1 is press-fitted into the inner wall surface of the lower mounting groove 14A, the lower shield plate 70 is attached to the fitting portion 11 of the housing 10.

案内部７４は、既述した上側内シールド部６０の案内部６５を上下反転させた形状をなしており、図３に見られるように、下壁１４の下側傾斜面１４Ｂに沿って延びている。該案内部７４は、コネクタ嵌合の際に、該案内部７４の上面で雌コネクタ２を受入凹部１６内へ案内するようになっている。 The guide portion 74 has a shape in which the guide portion 65 of the upper inner shield portion 60 described above is turned upside down, and extends along the lower inclined surface 14B of the lower wall 14 as shown in FIG. There is. The guide portion 74 guides the female connector 2 into the receiving recess 16 on the upper surface of the guide portion 74 when the connector is fitted.

また、案内部７４は、図３に見られるように、上下方向で下側傾斜面１４Ｂと重複範囲をもって位置している。つまり、下側シールド板７０の取付けの際、後方（Ｙ２方向）へ向けて受入凹部１６内に下側シールド板７０を挿入したとき、案内部７４が下側傾斜面１４Ｂに対向して前方から係止可能に位置する。つまり、案内部７４は、下側シールド板７０の後方へ向けた所定位置以上の進入を規制する規制部として機能をも有しており、そのような規制によって下側シールド板７０が正規の取付位置にもたらされるようになっている。 Further, as seen in FIG. 3, the guide portion 74 is located in the vertical direction with an overlapping range with the lower inclined surface 14B. That is, when the lower shield plate 70 is attached, when the lower shield plate 70 is inserted into the receiving recess 16 toward the rear (Y2 direction), the guide portion 74 faces the lower inclined surface 14B from the front. It is located so that it can be locked. That is, the guide unit 74 also has a function as a regulation unit that regulates the entry of the lower shield plate 70 beyond a predetermined position toward the rear, and the lower shield plate 70 is properly attached by such regulation. It is supposed to be brought to the position.

The downward movement of the lower shield plate 70 is brought out of the lower through hole 19 as seen in FIG. 6B through the lower opening 19B of the lower through hole 19 with the front ground contact portion 72A. At the same time, the press-fitting portion 73A of the mounting piece 73 is brought to the same height as the lower mounting groove 14A of the housing 10.

次に、下側シールド板７０を後方へ向けて移動させ、図６（Ｃ）に見られるように、圧入部７３Ａを下側取付溝１４Ａへ前方から圧入して、下側シールド板７０をハウジング１０の嵌合部１１に取り付ける。下側シールド板７０が嵌合部１１に取り付けられると、下側シールド板７０の下側内シールド部７１は、該受入凹部１６の下側の内壁面に沿って位置し該内壁面を覆う。 Next, the lower shield plate 70 is moved rearward, and as shown in FIG. 6C, the press-fitting portion 73A is press-fitted into the lower mounting groove 14A from the front to house the lower shield plate 70. It is attached to the fitting portion 11 of 10. When the lower shield plate 70 is attached to the fitting portion 11, the lower inner shield portion 71 of the lower shield plate 70 is located along the lower inner wall surface of the receiving recess 16 and covers the inner wall surface.

このように、上側雄端子２０、下側雄端子３０、上側外シールド部５０、上側内シールド部６０及び下側シールド板７０をハウジング１０に取り付けることにより、雄コネクタ１が完成する。本実施形態では、上側外シールド部５０、上側内シールド部６０、下側シールド板７０をこの順でハウジング１０に取り付けることとしたが、取付けの順序はこれに限られず、いずれが先に取り付けられてもよく、また、同時に取り付けられてもよい。 In this way, the male connector 1 is completed by attaching the upper male terminal 20, the lower male terminal 30, the upper outer shield portion 50, the upper inner shield portion 60, and the lower shield plate 70 to the housing 10.

The space surrounded by the peripheral walls formed by the upper wall 81, the lower wall 82, and the two end walls 83 is partitioned into a plurality of small spaces by the one horizontal partition wall 84 and the plurality of vertical partition walls 85.

上記小空間は、雌端子９０を収容して保持するための端子収容部８６として形成されている。該端子収容部８６は、雄コネクタ１の雄端子２０，３０の接触部２３，３３に対応する位置に形成されている。つまり、本実施形態では、端子収容部８６は、上下方向で二段、コネクタ幅方向で十三列をなして形成されている。該端子収容部８６は、図３に見られるように、コネクタ嵌合方向で貫通しており、後述するように、後方（Ｙ１方向）から雌端子９０を圧入することが可能となっている。 The small space is formed as a terminal accommodating portion 86 for accommodating and holding the female terminal 90. The terminal accommodating portion 86 is formed at a position corresponding to the contact portions 23 and 33 of the male terminals 20 and 30 of the male connector 1. That is, in the present embodiment, the terminal accommodating portions 86 are formed in two stages in the vertical direction and in thirteen rows in the connector width direction. As seen in FIG. 3, the terminal accommodating portion 86 penetrates in the connector fitting direction, and as will be described later, the female terminal 90 can be press-fitted from the rear (Y1 direction).

上壁８１には、図１及び図３に見られるように、コネクタ幅方向での複数箇所（本実施形態では五箇所）にて、該上壁８１の前端部（Ｙ２側の端部）の上面から没した上側取付溝８１Ａが形成されている。該上側取付溝８１Ａは、図８にも見られるように、上方（Ｚ１方向）および前方（Ｙ２方向）へ開放されており、後述するように前方から圧入された上側シールド板１００の取付片１０２の圧入部１０２Ａを保持するようになっている（図９をも参照）。また、図７に見られるように、上壁８１の前端部の上面には、コネクタ幅方向で隣接し合う上側取付溝８１Ａの間に、前方へ向かうにつれて下方へ傾斜する上側傾斜面８１Ｂが形成されている。また、上壁８１の後端部（Ｙ１側の端部）の上面には、コネクタ幅方向での複数箇所（本実施形態では四箇所）にて、上側シールド板１００を固定するための固定部８１Ｃが形成されている。該固定部８１Ｃには、コネクタ嵌合方向に貫通する固定孔８１Ｃ−１が形成されており、上側シールド板１００の後述の被固定部１０４が前方から挿入されて該被固定部１０４を保持するようになっている。 As seen in FIGS. 1 and 3, the upper wall 81 has a plurality of locations (five locations in the present embodiment) in the connector width direction of the front end portion (end portion on the Y2 side) of the upper wall 81. An upper mounting groove 81A that is submerged from the upper surface is formed. As seen in FIG. 8, the upper mounting groove 81A is open upward (Z1 direction) and forward (Y2 direction), and the mounting piece 102 of the upper shield plate 100 press-fitted from the front as described later. The press-fitting portion 102A of the above is held (see also FIG. 9).

Further, on the upper surface of the rear end portion (Y1 side end portion) of the upper wall 81, fixing portions for fixing the upper shield plate 100 at a plurality of locations (four locations in the present embodiment) in the connector width direction. 81C is formed. A fixing hole 81C-1 penetrating in the connector fitting direction is formed in the fixing portion 81C, and a fixed portion 104 described later of the upper shield plate 100 is inserted from the front to hold the fixed portion 104. It has become like.

ハウジング８０の下壁８２は、既述した上壁８１を上下反転させたような形状をなしている。下壁８２の形状は、上下反転している点を除いて上壁８１と同じであるので、上壁８１での符号に「１」を加えた符号を付して（例えば、上壁８１の「上側取付溝８１Ａ」に対応する下壁８２の「下側取付溝」には符号「８２Ａ」を付す）、ここでは説明を省略する。 The lower wall 82 of the housing 80 has a shape as if the upper wall 81 described above was turned upside down. Since the shape of the lower wall 82 is the same as that of the upper wall 81 except that it is upside down, a code obtained by adding "1" to the code on the upper wall 81 is added (for example, the upper wall 81. The "lower mounting groove" of the lower wall 82 corresponding to the "upper mounting groove 81A" is designated by the reference numeral "82A"), the description thereof will be omitted here.

ハウジング８０で保持される複数の雌端子９０は全て同形状で形成されている。該雌端子９０は、金属板部材を板厚方向に屈曲して形成されており、図３に見られるように、コネクタ嵌合方向での端子収容部８６の中間部に位置する基部９１と、該基部９１から前方（Ｙ２方向）へ向けて延び上下方向に弾性変位可能な一対の弾性腕部９２と、くびれ部９３を介して基部９１の後縁部（Ｙ１側の縁部）に連結された該被保持板部９４と、該被保持板部９４の後縁部からハウジング８０外へ延出する接続部９５とを有している。 The plurality of female terminals 90 held by the housing 80 are all formed in the same shape. The female terminal 90 is formed by bending a metal plate member in the plate thickness direction, and as seen in FIG. 3, the female terminal 90 has a base portion 91 located in the middle portion of the terminal accommodating portion 86 in the connector fitting direction. A pair of elastic arm portions 92 extending from the base portion 91 toward the front (Y2 direction) and elastically displaceable in the vertical direction are connected to the trailing edge portion (Y1 side edge portion) of the base portion 91 via a constriction portion 93. It has a held plate portion 94 and a connecting portion 95 extending from the trailing edge portion of the held plate portion 94 to the outside of the housing 80.

It has two horizontal plate portions 91B extending from each of the lower edge and the connector width direction (direction perpendicular to the paper surface in FIG. 3).

弾性腕部９２は、基部９１の二つの横板部９１Ｂのそれぞれから前方へ延出しており、上下方向で対面する二つの該弾性腕部９２によって対をなしている。二つの弾性腕部９２は、前方へ向かうにつれて互いに近づくように傾斜して延びているとともに、その前端部で互いに離れる方向へ傾斜するように屈曲されている。前端部における屈曲部分、すなわち互いに近づくように突出した部分は、雄端子２０，３０の接触部２３，３３と接触可能な接触突部９２Ａをなしている。接触突部９２Ａ同士の上下方向での間隔は雄端子２０，３０の接触部２３，３３の上下方向寸法よりも小さく、コネクタ嵌合状態にて一対の接触突部９２Ａが接触部２３，３３を上下方向で挟圧するようになっている。 The elastic arm portions 92 extend forward from each of the two horizontal plate portions 91B of the base portion 91, and are paired by the two elastic arm portions 92 facing each other in the vertical direction. The two elastic arms 92 are inclined and extended so as to approach each other toward the front, and are bent so as to be inclined away from each other at the front end portions thereof. The bent portion at the front end portion, that is, the portion protruding so as to approach each other, forms a contact protrusion 92A capable of contacting the contact portions 23 and 33 of the male terminals 20 and 30. The vertical distance between the contact protrusions 92A is smaller than the vertical dimension of the contact portions 23 and 33 of the male terminals 20 and 30, and the pair of contact protrusions 92A press the contact portions 23 and 33 in the connector fitted state. It is designed to hold pressure in the vertical direction.

被保持板部９４は、コネクタ幅方向に対して直角な板面をもち縦隔壁８５の壁面に沿って延びている。該被保持板部９４には、上縁及び下縁のそれぞれから突出する圧入突起（図示せず）が形成されており、該圧入突起が端子収容部８６の上側及び下側の内壁面に喰い込むことにより、雌端子９０が端子収容部８６内で圧入保持されるようになっている。 The held plate portion 94 has a plate surface perpendicular to the connector width direction and extends along the wall surface of the vertical partition wall 85.

以上の構成の雌コネクタ２は次の要領で組み立てられる。まず、雌端子９０をハウジング８０のそれぞれの端子収容部８６へ後方から圧入して該端子収容部８６内に収容することにより、該雌端子９０をハウジング１０に取り付ける。このとき、雌端子９０は、被保持板部９４で端子収容部８６の内壁面によって保持される。 The female connector 2 having the above configuration is assembled as follows. First, the female terminal 90 is attached to the housing 10 by press-fitting the female terminal 90 into each terminal accommodating portion 86 of the housing 80 from behind and accommodating the female terminal 90 in the terminal accommodating portion 86. At this time, the female terminal 90 is held by the held plate portion 94 by the inner wall surface of the terminal accommodating portion 86.

次に、上側シールド板１００の取付片１０２の圧入部１０２Ａをハウジング８０の上側取付溝８１Ａに前方（Ｙ２側）からから圧入するとともに、被固定部１０４を上記固定部８１Ｃの固定孔８１Ｃ−１へ前方（Ｙ２側）から挿入する。この結果、圧入部１０２Ａの圧入突起１０２Ａ−１が上側取付溝８１Ａの側方の内壁面に喰い込んで圧入部１０２Ａが上側取付溝８１Ａで保持されるとともに、被固定部１０４が上記固定部８１Ｃによって保持される。このようにして、上側シールド板１００はハウジング８０の上面側に取り付けられる。次に、上側シールド板１００について既述したのと同じ要領で、下側シールド板１１０をハウジング８０の底面側に取り付ける。 Next, the press-fitting portion 102A of the mounting piece 102 of the upper shield plate 100 is press-fitted into the upper mounting groove 81A of the housing 80 from the front (Y2 side), and the fixed portion 104 is press-fitted into the fixing hole 81C-1 of the fixing portion 81C.

As a result, the press-fitting projection 102A-1 of the press-fitting portion 102A bites into the inner wall surface on the side of the upper mounting groove 81A, the press-fitting portion 102A is held by the upper mounting groove 81A, and the fixed portion 104 is held by the fixing portion 81C. Held by. In this way, the upper shield plate 100 is attached to the upper surface side of the housing 80. Next, the lower shield plate 110 is attached to the bottom surface side of the housing 80 in the same manner as described above for the upper shield plate 100.

このように、雌端子９０、上側シールド板１００、下側シールド板１１０をハウジング８０に取り付けることにより、雌コネクタ２が完成する。本実施形態では、雌端子９０、上側シールド板１００、下側シールド板１１０をこの順でハウジング８０に取り付けることとしたが、取付けの順序はこれに限られず、いずれが先に取り付けられてもよく、また、同時に取り付けられてもよい。 In this way, the female connector 2 is completed by attaching the female terminal 90, the upper shield plate 100, and the lower shield plate 110 to the housing 80. In the present embodiment, the female terminal 90, the upper shield plate 100, and the lower shield plate 110 are attached to the housing 80 in this order, but the order of attachment is not limited to this, and any of them may be attached first. , Or they may be installed at the same time.

本実施形態では、シールド板１００，１１０の取付片１０２，１１２は、シールド板本体部１０１，１１１のシールド面（板面）に対し平行な平板状の圧入部１０２Ａ，１１２Ａを有しており、該圧入部１０２Ａ，１１２Ａの側縁に圧入突起１０２Ａ−１，１１２Ａ−１が設けられている。該圧入部１０２Ａ，１１２Ａは、圧入突起１０２Ａ−１，１１２１０２Ａ−１を含め平板状なので、シールド板１００，１１０の製造が容易であり、製造の精度も高くなる。また、圧入部１０２Ａ，１１２Ａは曲げ加工されていないので、該圧入部１０２Ａ，１１２Ａ自体の強度が大きい。したがって、ハウジング８０への取付片１０２，１１２の取付力が大きく、取付片１０２，１１２がハウジング８０から外れにくくなる。しかも、圧入部１０２Ａ，１１２Ａには板厚方向の力が作用しないので、高い取付力のもとでも疲労による曲げ変形等が生じにくくり、長期間にわたるシールド板１００，１１０の使用が可能となる。 In the present embodiment, the mounting pieces 102 and 112 of the shield plates 100 and 110 have flat plate-shaped press-fitting portions 102A and 112A parallel to the shield surface (plate surface) of the shield plate main body portions 101 and 111. Press-fit projections 102A-1 and 112A-1 are provided on the side edges of the press-fit portions 102A and 112A. Since the press-fitting portions 102A and 112A have a flat plate shape including the press-fitting projections 102A-1 and 112102A-1, the shield plates 100 and 110 can be easily manufactured and the manufacturing accuracy is improved. Further, since the press-fitting portions 102A and 112A are not bent, the strength of the press-fitting portions 102A and 112A itself is high. Therefore, the attachment force of the attachment pieces 102 and 112 to the housing 80 is large, and the attachment pieces 102 and 112 are less likely to come off from the housing 80. Moreover, since a force in the plate thickness direction does not act on the press-fitting portions 102A and 112A, bending deformation due to fatigue is unlikely to occur even under a high mounting force, and the shield plates 100 and 110 can be used for a long period of time. ..

また、本実施形態において、シールド板１００，１１０の取付片１０２，１１２とハウジング８０の取付溝８１Ａ，８２Ａは、コネクタ幅方向（Ｘ軸方向）で、互いに同じ位置で複数個所に設けられている。したがって、シールド板１００，１１０の取付範囲が拡大され、かつ均一となる。この結果、ハウジング８０への取付片１０２，１１２の取付力がより大きくなり、シールド板１００，１１０がハウジング８０から外れにくくなる。 Further, in the present embodiment, the mounting pieces 102 and 112 of the shield plates 100 and 110 and the mounting grooves 81A and 82A of the housing 80 are provided at a plurality of positions at the same positions in the connector width direction (X-axis direction). .. Therefore, the mounting range of the shield plates 100 and 110 is expanded and becomes uniform. As a result, the attachment force of the attachment pieces 102 and 112 to the housing 80 becomes larger, and the shield plates 100 and 110 are less likely to come off from the housing 80.

次に、コネクタ同士の嵌合動作を説明する。まず、雄コネクタ１を回路基板Ｂ１の実装面に半田接続して実装するとともに、雌コネクタ２を回路基板Ｂ２の実装面に半接続して実装する。次に、図１ないし図３に見られるように、雄コネクタ１及び雌コネクタ２を前部同士が対向するように位置させる。そして、雌コネクタ２を雄コネクタ１へ向けて、すなわち雌コネクタ２におけるコネクタ嵌合方向前方（Ｙ２方向）へ向けて雌コネクタ２を移動させ（図１ないし図３の矢印参照）、該雌コネクタ２の嵌合部を雄コネクタ１の受入凹部１６へ嵌入する。このとき、雌コネクタ２の被案内部１０３，１１３が雄コネクタ１の案内部６５，７４によって案内されることにより、該雌コネクタ２は雄コネクタ１の受入凹部１６内へ確実にもたらされる。 Next, the fitting operation between the connectors will be described. First, the male connector 1 is solder-connected to the mounting surface of the circuit board B1 for mounting, and the female connector 2 is semi-connected to the mounting surface of the circuit board B2 for mounting. Next, as seen in FIGS. 1 to 3, the male connector 1 and the female connector 2 are positioned so that the front portions face each other. Then, the female connector 2 is moved toward the male connector 1, that is, toward the front of the female connector 2 in the connector fitting direction (Y2 direction) (see the arrows in FIGS. 1 to 3), and the female connector is moved. The fitting portion of 2 is fitted into the receiving recess 16 of the male connector 1. At this time, the guided portions 103 and 113 of the female connector 2 are guided by the guide portions 65 and 74 of the male connector 1, so that the female connector 2 is surely brought into the receiving recess 16 of the male connector 1.

このコネクタ嵌合過程にて、雄端子２０，３０の接触部２３，３３が、対応する雌端子９０の一対の弾性腕部９２を弾性変位させながら押し広げるようにして弾性腕部９２同士間へ進入する。コネクタ嵌合が完了した状態（コネクタ嵌合状態）では、弾性腕部９２が弾性変位した状態が維持されており、接触部２３，３３は一対の接触突部９２Ａによって上下方向で挟圧される。この結果、接触部２３，３３と一対の接触突部９２Ａとが接圧をもって接触し、電気的に導通可能な状態となる。 In this connector fitting process, the contact portions 23 and 33 of the male terminals 20 and 30 push the pair of elastic arm portions 92 of the corresponding female terminals 90 while elastically displaceing them so as to spread them between the elastic arm portions 92. enter in. In the state where the connector fitting is completed (connector fitting state), the elastic arm portion 92 is maintained in the elastically displaced state, and the contact portions 23 and 33 are pinched in the vertical direction by the pair of contact protrusions 92A. .. As a result, the contact portions 23 and 33 and the pair of contact protrusions 92A come into contact with each other with contact pressure, and are in a state of being electrically conductive.

また、コネクタ嵌合過程にて、雌コネクタ２に設けられた上側シールド板１００のシールド板本体部１０１が、雄コネクタ１に設けられた上側内シールド部６０の上側シールド接触片６１，６２の上側シールド接触部６１Ａ，６２Ａに当接する。一方、雌コネクタ２に設けられた下側シールド板１１０のシールド板本体部１１１が、雄コネクタ１に設けられた下側シールド板７０の下側シールド接触片７５，７６の下側シールド接触部７５Ａ，７６Ａに当接する。 Further, in the connector fitting process, the shield plate main body 101 of the upper shield plate 100 provided on the female connector 2 is placed on the upper side of the upper shield contact pieces 61 and 62 of the upper inner shield portion 60 provided on the male connector 1. It comes into contact with the shield contact portions 61A and 62A. On the other hand, the shield plate main body 111 of the lower shield plate 110 provided on the female connector 2 is the lower shield contact portion 75A of the lower shield contact pieces 75 and 76 of the lower shield plate 70 provided on the male connector 1. , 76A abuts.

雌コネクタ２の嵌入がそのまま続行されると、上側シールド板１００のシールド板本体部１０１の上面によって上側シールド接触部６１Ａ，６２Ａが上方へ押圧され上側シールド接触片６１，６２が上方へ弾性変位する。また、下側シールド板１１０のシールド板本体部１１１の下面によって下側シールド接触部７５Ａ，７６Ａが下方へ押圧され下側シールド接触片７５，７６が下方へ弾性変位する。この上側シールド接触片６１，６２及び下側シールド接触片７５，７６の弾性変位により、さらなる雌コネクタ２の嵌入が許容される。雌コネクタ２の嵌入は雌コネクタ２の前端面が雄コネクタ１の受入凹部１６の底面（Ｙ軸方向に直角な面）に当接するまで行われ、これによって、コネクタ嵌合過程が完了し、コネクタ嵌合状態となる。 When the fitting of the female connector 2 is continued as it is, the upper shield contact portions 61A and 62A are pressed upward by the upper surface of the shield plate main body 101 of the upper shield plate 100, and the upper shield contact pieces 61 and 62 are elastically displaced upward. .. Further, the lower shield contact portions 75A and 76A are pressed downward by the lower surface of the shield plate main body 111 of the lower shield plate 110, and the lower shield contact pieces 75 and 76 are elastically displaced downward. The elastic displacement of the upper shield contact pieces 61, 62 and the lower shield contact pieces 75, 76 allows further fitting of the female connector 2. The female connector 2 is fitted until the front end surface of the female connector 2 abuts on the bottom surface (the surface perpendicular to the Y-axis direction) of the receiving recess 16 of the male connector 1, whereby the connector fitting process is completed and the connector is fitted. It will be in a mated state.

コネクタ嵌合状態においては、上側シールド接触片６１，６２及び下側シールド接触片７５，７６の弾性変位した状態が維持され、上側シールド接触片６１，６２が上側シールド板１００のシールド板本体部１０１の上面にそして下側シールド接触部７５Ａ，７６Ａが下側シールド板１１０のシールド板本体部１１１の下面に接圧をもって接触し、電気的に導通可能な状態となる。 In the connector mating state, the upper shield contact pieces 61, 62 and the lower shield contact pieces 75, 76 are maintained in an elastically displaced state, and the upper shield contact pieces 61, 62 are the shield plate main body 101 of the upper shield plate 100. The lower shield contact portions 75A and 76A come into contact with the lower surface of the shield plate main body 111 of the lower shield plate 110 with contact pressure, and are in a state of being electrically conductive.
