Publication number: 20240113469Abstract: A board connector includes a pair of inner terminals. The board connector includes a terminal body. Further, the board connector includes a low-dielectric constant portion having a relative dielectric constant set to be lower than that of the terminal body and interposed between the intermediate extending portion of one of the inner terminals and the intermediate extending portion of the other one of the inner terminals. An spacing between the intermediate extending portion of the one inner terminal and the intermediate extending portion of the other inner terminal is set to be smaller than at least one of an spacing between the fitting-side extending portion of the one inner terminal and the fitting-side extending portion of the other inner terminal or an spacing between the board-side extending portion of the one inner terminal and the board-side extending portion of the other inner terminal.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 20, 2023Publication date: April 4, 2024Inventors: Daisuke Noguchi, Hiroaki Yukutake
