Board-to-board plug connector

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. The connector is fixed to the connector housing with a tab welded to a front surface of the outer conductor holding part, the tab being integrally formed with the outer conductor, and with a potting material filled in a portion in the front outer conductor containing cavity close to the front surface of the outer conductor holding part.

Connector assembly with an intermediate insulating member and a potting material that fills a portion in an outer conductor more on the front side than on the front surface of the intermediate insulating member

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.

Board-to-board connector

A board-to-board connector is disclosed. The board-to-board connector comprises a first connector and a second connector. The first connector has first terminals and a first housing which has first fitting guide portions formed at both ends in the longitudinal direction of the first housing. The second connector has second terminals configured to make contact with the first terminals, and a second housing which has second fitting guide portions formed at both ends in the longitudinal direction of the second housing and configured to engage with the first fitting guide portions.

A board-to-board connector pair includes first and second intermateable connectors with each including a housing and a plurality of terminals therein. The first connector includes a first planar reinforcing locking bracket stamped from sheet metal and the second connector includes a second planar reinforcing locking bracket stamped from sheet metal and configured to mate with the first planar reinforcing locking bracket.
