  • Patent number: 11424568
    Abstract: To effectively prevent damage and position displacement of a die to provide an electric connector having a shield housing space with accurately-controlled shape and size. The electric connector includes a housing having a base and a plate-shaped body, multiple first terminals provided on one plate surface of the plate-shaped body and multiple second terminals provided on the other plate surface facing the one plate surface, a shield arranged among the multiple first terminals and the multiple second terminals, and a metal shell forming, between the one plate surface and the other plate surface, a fitting space in which a partner connector is to be fitted. The base has a first housing portion for housing part of the shield. The plate-shaped body has a second housing portion for housing another part of the shield. The second housing portion is communicated with the first housing portion in the direction of fitting to or release from the partner connector.

  • Patent number: 11362455
    Abstract: Provided are: a connector device using a lid member having a simple structure and reliably held on a connector; and the lid member. The connector device includes a connector having a metal shell forming at least part of a fitting space in which a partner connector is fitted, and a resin lid member provided detachably from the fitting space. The lid member includes an insertion portion to be inserted into the fitting space along the direction of fitting the partner connector into the fitting space, and a closing portion configured to close an opening of the fitting space when the insertion portion is inserted into the fitting space. The insertion portion includes an elastic piece extending from the closing portion. The elastic piece includes a protruding portion biased to an inner wall of the shell when the insertion portion is inserted into the fitting space and protruding in a biasing direction. A dent portion dented in the biasing direction ?1 is formed at the inner wall.

  • Patent number: 10971862
    Abstract: When a swaging portion (71) of one shell (60) is swaged to a cable (5), even in a case where a main body (42) of the other shell (40) receives tensile force through a sandwiching portion (43) sandwiched between the swaging portion (71) and the cable (5), the risk of pulling the main body (42) of the other shell itself is reduced, and deformation and damage of the other shell (40) are prevented. A cable connector includes a housing (20) configured to hold one end of a cable (5) and a first shell (60) and a second shell (40) including main bodies covering at least a portion of the housing (20). The first shell (60) has a swaging portion (71) to be swaged to the cable (50). The second shell (40) has a sandwiching portion (43) to be swaged together with the cable by the swaging portion (71) with the sandwiching portion being sandwiched between the swaging portion (71) and the cable.
