Abstract

A pressing terminal includes an outer conductive member having a shield outer tube; an inner conductive member; and a dielectric member. The dielectric member includes a protruding portion fitted into the shield outer tube so that a signal line pressing portion of the inner conductive member is situated at a pressing tool insertion opening portion. The dielectric member is inserted into a shield outer tube with the protruding portion thereof sliding against the shield outer tube. A terminal pressing device includes an anvil unit and a crimper unit. Upon attaching the signal wire, a claw portion of a signal line crimper of the crimper unit is inserted into a claw insertion groove portion of a signal line anvil of the anvil unit. A terminal pressing anvil portion of the signal line anvil is ushered to a terminal pressing anvil insertion portion of the signal line crimper.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A pressing terminal to be connected to a mating terminal of a mating connector, comprising:
an outer conductive member to be connected to a mating outer conductive member of the mating terminal, said outer conductive member including a shield outer tube having an opening, a pressing tool insertion opening portion, and a shield wire pressing portion for pressing a shield wire;
an inner conductive member to be connected to a mating inner conductive member of the mating terminal, said inner conductive member including a signal line pressing portion for pressing a signal line of the shield wire; and
a dielectric member for holding the inner conductive member,
wherein said dielectric member includes a main body portion retained in the shield outer tube and a cap portion having a size greater than that of the opening so that the cap portion is situated outside the opening,
said dielectric member further includes a protruding portion formed on the main body, and
said protruding portion extends from near the cap portion up to a middle of the main body so that the main body is easily fitted into the shield outer tube.

2. The pressing terminal according to claim 1 , wherein said protruding portion includes a plurality of protruding bands extending in a connecting direction of the pressing terminal, said protruding bands being situated on opposite surfaces of the dielectric member.

3. The pressing terminal according to claim 1 , wherein said shield outer tube includes an engaging hole, and
said main body includes an engaging protrusion for engaging with the engaging hole.
