A connector body includes mating guide parts having mating recesses into which counterpart mating guide parts are inserted, the reinforcing bracket includes a body part attached to end wall parts of the mating guide parts, and a pair of left and right connection arms connected to both ends of the body part, the connection arms extending to the longitudinal center of the connector body and being attached to side wall parts of the mating guide parts, the connection arm includes a side plate part and a side wall upper cover part connected to an upper end of the side plate part, at least a part of the outside of the side plate part is covered with an outside part of the side wall part, and the side wall upper cover part is curved such that a tip faces the mating recess and covers at least a part of the upper surface of the inside part of the side wall part.

Connector and connector assembly

A connector includes a connector body and a terminal attached to the connector body, the connector being fitted with a counterpart connector, the connector body includes a recess being fitted with a counterpart connector body of the counterpart connector and side walls extending in a longitudinal direction of the connector body, the side walls defining both sides of the recess. The terminal includes a plurality of terminals disposed along each of the side walls, and the plurality of terminals disposed along each of the side walls include one high frequency terminal and ground terminals disposed on both sides of the high frequency terminal. In plan view, a straight line connecting high frequency terminals disposed along both the side walls is inclined with respect to a center line of the connector body in a width direction, and a shield plate of the counterpart connector extends along the center line.

Connector

A connector includes a connector body and a terminal attached to the connector body, the connector being fitted with a counterpart connector, the connector body includes a recess being fitted with a counterpart connector body of the counterpart connector and side walls extending in a longitudinal direction of the connector body, the side walls defining both sides of the recess. The terminal includes a plurality of terminals disposed along each of the side walls, and the plurality of terminals disposed along each of the side walls include one high frequency terminal and ground terminals disposed on both sides of the high frequency terminal. In plan view, a straight line connecting high frequency terminals disposed along both the side walls is inclined with respect to a center line of the connector body in a width direction, and a shield plate of the counterpart connector is extends along the center line.

A connector body includes a recess, a middle island inside the recess, and a mating guide part formed on both sides in the longitudinal direction; a reinforcing metal bracket includes a main body part disposed on the end wall part of the mating guide part, and a central guide part which is connected to the main body part and has a tip which engages with the island end part of the middle island; and the central guide part includes an end wall inner cover part connected to the main body part, an island end cover part which is connected to the tip and covers at least a portion of the island end, and a bottom part which is connected to a lower end of the end wall inner cover part via a first curved part and is connected to a lower end of the island end cover part via a second curved part; wherein a lower surface of the first curved part is positioned above a lower surface of the second curved part.

A connector is provided which includes a main body, terminals mounted in the body, and a reinforcing metal fitting mounted in the body. The fitting includes a body secured to the mating guide portion, a pair of left and right connecting arm portions connected to the base end of the body, and a pair of left and right contact arm portions connected to the base end of the connecting arm portions. The fitting further includes a first connecting leg portion connected to a connecting pad on a board being connected at the upper end of the first connecting leg portion to the lower end or base end of each contact arm portion so as to have a substantially L-shaped profile when viewed from a side of the connector.

Board-to-board connector with metal fittings and guide portions

A base member is made of thermoplastic resin. A plurality of terminals are each inserted in a corresponding one of through holes formed through the base member. The terminals include fixed portions positioned on an upper surface of the base member. The base member includes a first fixing portion integrally formed with the base member. The first fixing portion has a covering portion overlapping with the fixed portion and fixing the fixed portion to the upper surface of the base member.
