  • Patent number: 9768534
    Abstract: Electromagnetic shielding about a part connected with a wiring substrate is easily and reliably carried out by a simple configuration without impairing productivity. A fixed shield plate provided at a shield shell member of an electric connector mounted on a wiring substrate is disposed to be opposed to a vicinity of a substrate connecting leg portion of a contact member. A movable shield plate covering a shell opening by a moving operation is provided. At least the substrate connecting leg portion of the contact member is covered from an outer side by fixed and movable shield plates, thereby well carrying out electromagnetic shielding (shielding) with respect to the part connected with the wiring substrate. Until the movable shield plate is subjected to the moving operation, the part connected with the wiring substrate can be checked well through the shell opening.

  • Patent number: 8465324
    Abstract: To allow electromagnetic shielding regarding a connecting portion between conductive contacts and a main wiring board to be excellently achieved with a simple structure without impairing productivity, a fit-in holding member being rotated from a fit-in releasing position to a fit-in acting position to maintain a state where connectors fit in together by rotation is provided with a conductive cover part covering a connecting portion between a counterpart connector and the main wiring board when the fit-in holding member is rotated to the fit-in acting position, and the connecting portion is covered with the conductive cover part. Electromagnetic shielding of that portion is performed simultaneously with the time when both of the connectors fit in together, thereby eliminating an increase in the number of manufacturing processes.

  • Patent number: 8021187
    Abstract: An electric connector makes it possible to achieve downsizing excellently to improve electric connection reliability by preventing deformation when fitting to a mating connector. An engaging projection projecting is provided on an opening end edge of either an insulating housing or a conductive shell. An engaging hole into which the engaging projection is inserted is provided on the other opening end edge. The insulating housing and the conductive shell are fixed to each other in a direction orthogonal to the fitting direction by inserting the engaging projection into the engaging hole so that rigidity is largely increased. The fixation mechanism of the insulating housing and the conductive shell do not project inside the insulating housing so that it is possible to reduce the height and make pitches narrow.
