Abstract: A socket connector includes a socket housing in which an island part and a peripheral wall surrounding the island part project upward from a bottom plate, a plurality of socket contacts arranged in the socket housing, and two protective metal fittings. In a cutting step, a half-dome part of the two protective metal fittings is formed by cutting a metal plate in such a way that a dome part in a symmetrical shape formed by drawing in the metal plate is split into two halves along a line of symmetry. In a press-fitting step, two press-fitting parts of each socket hold-down are press-fit into two long walls, respectively.

Abstract: Provided is a connector capable of allowing a counter connector to be properly fitted with the connector. The connector of the invention includes a frame provided with an opening and is capable of allowing a counter connector to be fitted in an inside of the frame through the opening, and the frame includes a lateral wall that extends in a fitting direction and that surrounds the counter connector being fitted with the connector, and a guide portion that is provided at an end portion of the lateral wall on an opening side where the opening is situated in the fitting direction and that guides the counter connector to an inside of the frame. The lateral wall is continuous over an entire circumference of the frame, and the guide portion is provided at the end portion of the lateral wall on the opening side over the entire circumference of the frame.

Abstract: A connector including an insulating housing, a plurality of terminals arrayed and held on the housing, and a conductive shell, wherein the housing is positioned within the shell in island form. The shell is formed of a single metal plate, and includes a peripheral wall surrounding the housing, bottom plates extending from lower ends of the peripheral wall on a side of mounting to the board to inside of the peripheral wall, and a pair of supporting pieces extending from the bottom plates and supporting the housing. The pair of supporting pieces are formed by being raised from the bottom plates so as to respectively conform to side surfaces of the housing that are opposite each other, and then being folded with their tips press-fit in the housing. The peripheral wall is of a single-ply structure of the metal plate without a seam throughout a periphery thereof.

Abstract: A housing having terminals held thereon is positioned within a shell in island form. The shell is formed of a single metal plate, and includes a peripheral wall surrounding the housing, bottom plates, a pair of first retaining pieces, and two pairs of second retaining pieces. The first retaining pieces respectively include raised portions to conform to side surfaces of the housing, extension portions positioned on upper surfaces of the housing, and press-fitting portions. The press-fitting portions are press-fit into holes formed in the upper surfaces. Each pair of the second retaining pieces are positioned on the opposite sides of the first retaining piece, and fitted in step portions which are at the opposite ends, in the width direction, of the side surfaces of the housing. The second retaining pieces protrude from the upper surfaces and, in the width direction, protrude from the housing.

Abstract: In a connector assembly in which a first connector that includes a first insulator, first terminals, and a first shell and is mounted on a first board and a second connector that includes a second insulator, second terminals, and a second shell and is mounted on a second board are connected with each other, a first ground pattern that has a frame-like shape and is formed on the first board is soldered to the first shell with first solder, and a second ground pattern that has a frame-like shape and is formed on the second board is soldered to the second shell with second solder. An inner space in which the first terminals and the second terminals are positioned is completely shielded from the outside without any gap.

Abstract: Provided is a connector in which a frame is provided with a bending portion while the properties of the frame are maintained. The connector includes a housing to which contacts are attached and a frame which has an end in the first direction fixed to a board and which surrounds the housing. Of the frame, an end portion on a board side in the first direction is provided with a bending portion bent in a second direction, the second direction intersecting the first direction, and a pair of adjacent surfaces adjacent to opposite end surfaces of the bending portion in a third direction, the third direction intersecting each of the first direction and the second direction.
