  • Patent number: 11569611
    Abstract: A configuration ensuring a connector to be fixed to a connector housing with high water-tightness, free of damaging or breaking due to external force, and achieving high shielding performance and reliability is provided. The connector includes a terminal that is conductive, an intermediate insulating member that contains the terminal, and an outer conductor that is conductive and contains the intermediate insulating member. The connector housing includes an outer conductor holding part provided with an outer conductor insertion hole through which the outer conductor is inserted and a front outer conductor containing cavity that is formed on a front side of the outer conductor holding part and has a larger cross-sectional area than the outer conductor insertion hole.

  • Patent number: 9397423
    Abstract: A first connector is equipped with a first terminal, a first housing and a first reinforcing bracket. The he first reinforcing bracket is equipped with a band-like first main body portion extending in the lateral direction of the first housing. A first arm portion held by the first housing. The first main body is equipped with a pair of bent portions connected to both ends of a central portion and formed in a crank-shape when viewed from the direction of insertion and extraction to increase the torsional stiffness. A first locking portion is formed in the central portion. A cover portion is bent towards the upper end of the central portion via a rounded portion to increase the torsional stiffness of the central portion, and to protect the outer wall portion of the first housing.
