  • Publication number: 20230042553
    Abstract: A connector includes a connector body and a terminal attached to the connector body, the connector being fitted with a counterpart connector, the connector body includes a recess being fitted with a counterpart connector body of the counterpart connector and side walls extending in a longitudinal direction of the connector body, the side walls defining both sides of the recess. The terminal includes a plurality of terminals disposed along each of the side walls, and the plurality of terminals disposed along each of the side walls include one high frequency terminal and ground terminals disposed on both sides of the high frequency terminal. In plan view, a straight line connecting high frequency terminals disposed along both the side walls is inclined with respect to a center line of the connector body in a width direction, and a shield plate of the counterpart connector extends along the center line.

  • Patent number: 9577379
    Abstract: The Present Disclosure is a connector comprising a connector main body, terminals mounted in the connector main body, and a reinforcing main fitting mounted in the connector main body. The connector main body includes a mating guide portion formed on both longitudinal ends, the mating guide portion mating with an opposing mating guide portion formed on both longitudinal ends of the opposing connector main body of an opposing connector. The reinforcing metal fitting includes a pair of left and right contact arm portions, and a pair of left and right side guide portions disposed in the mating guide portions. The side guide portions guide the opposing mating guide portions, and the contact arm portions establishing contact with the opposing reinforcing metal fitting mounted in the opposing connector main body when the connector main body is mated with the opposing connector main body.
