Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A connector includes at least one contact, a ground plate formed of a metal plate of a predetermined thickness, an insulator that holds the at least one contact and the ground plate, and a metal shell that covers an outer periphery portion of the insulator, the metal shell having a window section formed facing the ground plate and having a thickness greater than the thickness of the metal plate which forms the ground plate, the ground plate having a shell fixing section formed by folding and overlapping the metal plate and located to contact the window section from inside the metal shell, a periphery of the window section of the metal shell and the shell fixing section of the ground plate being welded to each other inside the window section of the metal shell.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1 . A connector comprising: at least one contact; a ground plate formed of a metal plate of a predetermined thickness; an insulator that holds the at least one contact and the ground plate; and a metal shell that covers an outer periphery portion of the insulator, the metal shell having a window section formed facing the ground plate and having a thickness greater than the thickness of the metal plate which forms the ground plate, wherein the ground plate has a shell fixing section formed by folding and overlapping the metal plate and located to contact the window section from inside the metal shell, and a periphery of the window section of the metal shell and the shell fixing section of the ground plate are welded to each other inside the window section of the metal shell. 2 . The connector according to claim 1 , wherein the shell fixing section of the ground plate is formed by folding the metal plate into double. 3 . The connector according to claim 1 , wherein the contact has a contact section to be in contact with a contact of a mating connector at a front end thereof, a substrate mounting section to be mounted and fixed to a substrate at a back end thereof, and an insulator fixing section to be fixed to the insulator at a middle portion thereof, wherein the ground plate has a plate body disposed parallel to and adjacent to the insulator fixing section of the contact and a rising potion coupled to the plate body and extending away from the insulator fixing section, and wherein the shell fixing section is coupled to the rising portion. 1 . The connector according to claim 1 , wherein the metal shell and the shell fixing section of the ground plate are welded at each of plural locations in the window section of the metal shell. 5 . The connector according to claim 1 , wherein the periphery of the window section of the metal shell and the shell fixing section of the ground plate are laser-welded.
