Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A connector terminal is provided which has a first connecting portion that is tubular, in one side, and a second connecting portion in the other side, which further has a coupling portion that couples between the first and second connecting portions, and that is higher in impedance than the first connecting portion, and in which the trouble of providing impedance matching between the first connecting portion and the coupling portion is reduced. The connector terminal includes an impedance adjusting member that overlaps at least a first side part of the coupling portion. The impedance adjusting member is fixed in a state where one end portion of the impedance adjusting member is inserted into the body portion.
First claim

What is claimed is: 1. A connector terminal which has a first connecting portion that is tubular, in one side, and a second connecting portion in another side, and which further has a coupling portion that couples between the first and second connecting portions, and that is higher in impedance than the first connecting portion, wherein the connector terminal comprises an impedance adjusting member which overlaps at least a part of the coupling portion, and the impedance adjusting member is fixed in a state where one end portion of the impedance adjusting member is inserted into the first connecting portion. 2. The connector terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the coupling portion is configured by a strip-like piece which is bent into an L-like shape, has first and second side parts which form sides of the L-like shape, respectively, is connected to the first connecting portion in an end of the first side part, and connected to the second connecting portion in an end of the second side part, and the impedance adjusting member overlaps at least the first side part. 3. The connector terminal according to claim 1 , wherein a tapered tip end is formed in the one end portion of the impedance adjusting member. 4. The connector terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the one end portion of the impedance adjusting member is thicker than an inner diameter of the first connecting portion, thereby forming the one end portion as a press-fitting part which is inserted into the first connecting portion. 5. The connector terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the coupling portion is configured by a strip-like piece which is bent into an L-like shape, has first and second side parts which form sides of the L-like shape, respectively, is connected to the first connecting portion in an end of the first side part, and connected to the second connecting portion in an end of the second side part, the impedance adjusting member overlaps at least the first side part, and a tapered tip end is formed in the one end portion of the impedance adjusting member. 6. The connector terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the coupling portion is configured by a strip-like piece which is bent into an L-like shape, has first and second side parts which form sides of the L-like shape, respectively, is connected to the first connecting portion in an end of the first side part, and connected to the second connecting portion in an end of the second side part, the impedance adjusting member overlaps at least the first side part, and the one end portion of the impedance adjusting member is thicker than an inner diameter of the first connecting portion, thereby forming the one end portion as a press-fitting part which is inserted into the first connecting portion. 7. The connector terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the coupling portion is configured by a strip-like piece which is bent into an L-like shape, has first and second side parts which form sides of the L-like shape, respectively, is connected to the first connecting portion in an end of the first side part, and connected to the second connecting portion in an end of the second side part, the impedance adjusting member overlaps at least the first side part, a tapered tip end is formed in the one end portion of the impedance adjusting member, and the one end portion of the impedance adjusting member is thicker than an inner diameter of the first connecting portion, thereby forming the one end portion as a press-fitting part which is inserted into the first connecting portion.
