Abstract
In a plug and a receptacle of a microstrip line connector, the plug has a rectangular parallelpipedic insulating support block, a signal contact projecting upward from the center of the insulating support block and a pair of L-angle brackets projecting out upward from both ends of the insulating support block, the pair of brackets being connected to opposite ends of a coupling plate portion provided along the side wall surface of the insulating support block. The coupling plate portion has at the center of its lower marginal edge a recess formed astride a signal conductor of a microstrip line provided on a printed circuit board. The receptacle is made up of a rectangular parallelpipedic insulating housing having three contact housing rooms defined by two partition walls, a signal socket contact housed in the central contact housing room, a U-shaped ground socket contact having two contact portions housed in the side contact housing rooms, and a shield cover mounted on the insulating housing in a manner to cover almost all over its back and hold its top and bottom panel portions. The insulating housing has a contact introducing hole in its front panel portion centrally thereof and communicating with the central contact housing room, for receiving the signal contact of the mating plug. The insulating housing has slots in its side panel portions in the front-to-back direction and communicating with the side contact housing rooms, for receiving opposed edges of the pair of L-angle brackets.
