Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A switch-equipped connector that can reduce the occurrence of intermodulation distortion includes a first terminal, a second movable terminal, and a magnet provided at a position distant from the first and second terminals. At least one of the first and the second terminal has a magnetic metal and the second terminal is configured to come into and out of contact with the first terminal.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

That which is claimed is: 1. A switch-equipped connector used to transmit high-frequency signals, the switch-equipped connector comprising a first terminal, a second terminal, and a magnet provided at a position distant from the entirety of the first terminal and the entirety of the second terminal, wherein at least one of the first terminal and the second terminal has magnetic metal; the first terminal has a lead at a first end and a contact portion at a second, opposite end of the first terminal from the lead; and the second terminal is configured to come into and out of direct physical contact with the contact portion of the first terminal. 2. The switch-equipped connector according to claim 1 , further comprising a base member having one surface on which the first terminal and the second terminal are mounted and the other surface on which the magnet is mounted, the base member being made of an insulating material. 3. The switch-equipped connector according to claim 1 , wherein the magnetic metal of at least one of the first terminal and the second terminal is coated with metal plating. 4. The switch-equipped connector according to claim 3 , wherein the metal plating is Au plating. 5. The switch-equipped connector according to claim 1 , wherein in an unconnected state, the second terminal is configured to contact the first terminal and in a connected state the second terminal is configured to become out of contact with the first terminal. 6. The switch-equipped connector according to claim 5 , wherein, in the connected state, a portion of the second terminal is displaced in a direction towards the magnet. 7. The switch-equipped connector according to claim 2 , wherein the first terminal is fixed relative to the second terminal and the base member. 8. The switch-equipped connector according to claim 2 , wherein the one surface is positioned in a location that is in opposition to the other surface. 9. The switch-equipped connector according to claim 2 , wherein the one surface and the other surface are non-adjacent surfaces. 10. The switch-equipped connector according to claim 2 , wherein the second terminal overlaps a center of the magnet when viewed in a plan view.
