Abstract

A connector including: multiple coaxial terminals each of which is formed into a shape of L, and has a connecting part attached to a coaxial cable and a terminal part bent with respect to the connecting part; a housing including a housing body having storage parts storing the coaxial terminals arrayed side by side and a cover closing the respective storage parts of the housing body; and a radio wave absorbing member disposed between the coaxial terminals stored in the respective storage parts and the cover and extending over the coaxial terminals, wherein the radio wave absorbing member is disposed so as to face at least a bent part in which the terminal part is bent with respect to the connecting part of each of the coaxial terminals, and provided in contact with or in proximity to each of the coaxial terminals.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A connector comprising:
a plurality of coaxial terminals each of which is formed into an L-shape, each of the plurality of coaxial terminals including a connecting part attached to a coaxial cable, and a terminal part bent with respect to the connecting part;
a housing including: (i) a housing body having a plurality of storage parts storing the plurality of coaxial terminals arrayed side by side, and (ii) a cover closing the respective storage parts of the housing body; and
a radio wave absorbing member disposed between the plurality of coaxial terminals stored in the respective storage parts and the cover, the radio wave absorbing member extending over the plurality of coaxial terminals, the radio wave absorbing member being disposed so as to face at least: (i) a bent part in which the terminal part is bent with respect to the connecting part of each of the plurality of coaxial terminals, and (ii) an exposed center conductor of each of the coaxial cables, and the radio wave absorbing member is provided in contact with, or in proximity to, each of the plurality of coaxial terminals.

2. The connector according to claim 1 , wherein the radio wave absorbing member includes:
a fixing part fixed to an inner surface of the cover; and
a plurality of contact pieces extending from the fixing part so as to come into contact with the plurality of coaxial terminals, respectively.

3. The connector according to claim 2 , wherein each of the plurality of contact pieces is in contact with a part of one of the plurality of coaxial terminals, the plurality of contact pieces facing the exposed center conductor exposed out of the coaxial cable on which a terminal treatment is performed, each of the plurality of contact pieces being electrically connected to one of the plurality of coaxial terminals.

4. The connector according to claim 1 , wherein, in the plurality of storage parts, the storage parts adjacent to each other are partitioned by an insulating partition wall.
