Abstract

The present invention relates to a board mating connector including a first body part having a first hollow portion formed therein, a signal contact part inserted into the first hollow portion, a dielectric part positioned between the first body part and the signal contact part, a second body part which has a second hollow portion formed therein, is positioned between the dielectric part and the first body part, and is formed of a metal plate, and a ground contact part which extends upward from an upper side of the second body part and is separated into a plurality of portions by a plurality of slits to have elasticity.

First claim

We claim:

1. A board mating connector, comprising:
a first body part including a first hollow portion formed therein;
a signal contact part inserted into the first hollow portion;
a dielectric part positioned between the first body part and the signal contact part;
a second body part which includes a second hollow portion formed therein, is positioned between the dielectric part and the first body part, and is formed of a metal plate;
a ground contact part which extends upward from an upper side of the second body part and is separated into a plurality of portions by a plurality of slits to have elasticity; and
a plurality of fixing portions bent to extend inward from a lower side of the second body part,
wherein the fixing portion is positioned at a lower portion of the dielectric part.

2. A board mating connector, comprising:
a first body part including a first hollow portion formed therein;
a signal contact part inserted into the first hollow portion;
a dielectric part positioned between the first body part and the signal contact part;
a second body part which includes a second hollow portion formed therein and is positioned between the dielectric part and the first body part;
a ground contact part which extends upward from an upper side of the second body part and is separated into a plurality of portions by a plurality of slits to have elasticity; and
a plurality of fixing leg portions which are positioned around a lower side of the signal contact part and extend downward from a lower side of the second body part,
wherein the second body part, the ground contact part, and the fixing leg portion are integrally formed of a metal plate.

3. The board mating connector of claim 1 , wherein the ground contact part includes an elastic portion which extends upward from the upper side of the second body part so as to be further inclined inward or outward beyond an inclination of the second body part.

4. The board mating connector of claim 3 , wherein the ground contact part includes a contact portion which is bent to extend from an upper side of the elastic portion in a direction opposite to a direction in which the elastic portion extends, and has a curved surface formed at a bent portion thereof.

5. The board mating connector of claim 4 , wherein the ground contact part includes a restriction portion which is positioned between the elastic portion and the second body part and includes a portion bent to extend outward from the second body part and a portion bent to extend inward toward the second body part,
the first body part includes a first cover portion which extends outward along a circumferential surface at an upper side of the first body part, and
an upper surface of the first cover portion and a lower surface of the restriction portion are positioned to face each other.

6. The board mating connector of claim 5 , wherein the first body part includes a second cover portion which extends upward from an outer side of the first cover portion, and
an inner surface of the second cover portion and an outer surface of the restriction portion are positioned to face each other.

7. The board mating connector of claim 1 , wherein the dielectric part includes a groove recessed along a circumferential surface of the dielectric part, and
the second body part includes a plurality of latch portions which protrude along a circumferential surface of the second body part so as to be inserted into the groove.

8. The board mating connector of claim 2 , wherein an upper side of the fixing leg portion is surrounded by a lower side of the first body part.

9. The board mating connector of claim 2 , wherein the first body part is made of a non-conductive material.

10. The board mating connector of claim 9 , wherein the first body part is made of plastic.

11. The board mating connector of claim 10 , wherein the first body part is formed on the second body part through an injection molding process.

12. The board mating connector of claim 2 , further comprising a plurality of fixing portions which are bent to extend inward at the lower side of the second body part,
wherein the fixing portion is positioned at a lower portion of the dielectric part.

13. The board mating connector of claim 12 , wherein the fixing portions are positioned such that a pair of the fixing portions facing each other are symmetrical.

14. The board mating connector of claim 13 , wherein the fixing portion is positioned between a pair of the adjacent fixing leg portions.

15. The board mating connector of claim 12 , wherein the dielectric part includes a first diameter portion, and a second diameter portion having a diameter smaller than that of the first diameter portion, and
the second diameter portion protrudes further downward than the fixing portion.
