Abstract

An inner conductor terminal (10) is made of a metal plate and includes tubular first terminal portion (11) and second terminal portion (12) each having an opening end. A bent portion (15) links the first and second terminal portions (11, 12) and covers the respective opening ends of the first and second terminal portions (11, 12) by facing the openings. A tab (13) projects from an end of the first terminal portion (11) opposite to the opening end, and a lead (14) projects from an end part of the second terminal portion (12) opposite from the opening end. The inner conductor terminal (10) includes two side panels (16) projecting from the second terminal portion (12) to be located at both sides of the bent portion (15) and covering a clearance between the bent portion (15), the first terminal portion (11) and the second terminal portion (12) from both sides.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An inner conductor terminal made of a metal plate, comprising:
tubular first terminal portion and second terminal portion each having an opening end;
a bent portion linking the first and second terminal portions, the bent portion covering the respective opening ends of the first and second terminal portions by facing the opening ends;
a tab projecting from an end part of the first terminal portion opposite to the opening end;
a lead projecting from an end part of the second terminal portion opposite from the opening end; and
two side panels projecting from at least one of the first terminal portion and the second terminal portion to be located at both sides of the bent portion, the side panels covering a clearance between the bent portion, the first terminal portion and the second terminal portion from both sides.

2. The inner conductor terminal of claim 1 , wherein the lead projects from an outer wall continuous with the bent portion in the second terminal portion.

3. A shield terminal with the inner conductor terminal of claim 1 , comprising:
a dielectric for accommodating the inner conductor terminal; and
an outer conductor terminal for surrounding the dielectric,
wherein the first terminal portion is inserted into an accommodating portion of the dielectric from behind and rear ends of the side panels are exposed on a rear surface of the dielectric.

4. The shield terminal of claim 3 , wherein:
the outer conductor terminal includes a surrounding portion for accommodating the dielectric, and
a thickness of the dielectric defined between an inner surface of the surrounding portion and the first terminal portion is constant in a front-rear direction.
