Abstract
Abstract A square-shaped body (11) of an insulating material has a plurality of contact housing holes (12) bored therethrough and arranged in a matrix form, and pin contacts (13) are respectively housed in the contact housing holes. Cords (15) of a shielded cable (14) are connected at one end to the rear ends of the pin contacts. A cable clamper (16) is put on and fixed to the shielded cable and the shield of the shielded cable is connected to the inner surface of the cable clamper. The cable clamper is fitted in and fixed to the rear end portion of a tubular shielding member (21) made of metal and the square-shaped body is fitted in and fixed to the front end portion of the shielding member.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
135 words
A multipin connector comprising: a square-sectioned body made of an insulating material and having a plurality of contact housing holes board therethrough in its front-to-back direction and arranged in a matrix form; pin contacts inserted through the contact housing holes of the insulating body, respectively, the front projecting end of each contact pin forming a contact portion and the rear end portion forming a cord connecting portion, adapted to be connected to a respective cord of a shielded cable; a cable clamper made of metal, for fixedly clamping a shielded cable inserted thereinto with its shield partly exposed and folded back; and a tubular shielding member made of metal, the backward portion of which has fitted therein the cable clamper and the forward portion of which has fitted therein and fixed thereto the insulating body.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
135 words
A multipin connector comprising: a square-sectioned body made of an insulating material and having a plurality of contact housing holes board therethrough in its front-to-back direction and arranged in a matrix form; pin contacts inserted through the contact housing holes of the insulating body, respectively, the front projecting end of each contact pin forming a contact portion and the rear end portion forming a cord connecting portion, adapted to be connected to a respective cord of a shielded cable; a cable clamper made of metal, for fixedly clamping a shielded cable inserted thereinto with its shield partly exposed and folded back; and a tubular shielding member made of metal, the backward portion of which has fitted therein the cable clamper and the forward portion of which has fitted therein and fixed thereto the insulating body.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
16 words
The multipin connector of claim 1, further comprising means for locking it with the mating connector.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
76 words
The multipin connector of claim 2, wherein the locking means comprises a sliding piece disposed outside the shielding member in a manner to be slidable back and forth, a spring piece disposed outside the sliding piece and having an outward protrusion on its front end portion, a cover which engages the rear end portion of the sliding piece, movable back and forth and covers the shielding member, and a coiled spring for biasing the cover forward.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
47 words
The multipin connector of claim 3, wherein a holding portion is fixedly mounted around the rear end portion of the shielding member and the cable clamper and the cover is engaged with the holding member so that the former may not slip away from the shielding member.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
33 words
The multipin connector of claim 4, wherein the coiled spring is wound around the shielding member, the rear end of the coiled spring being engaged with the front end of the holding member.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
47 words
The multipin connector of claim 4, wherein the coiled spring comprises a plurality fo small-diametered coiled springs disposed on the shielding member at different axes and the rear end of each coiled spring is engaged with a stepped portion of the shielding member, biasing the cover forward.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
98 words
A connector for connection to the multipin connector of claim 3, wherein a body of an insulating material has housed therein socket contacts for engagement with the pin contact of the multipin connector, the body is covered with a case, the case has a recess for receiving the sliding piece and the spring piece of the multipin connector, the shielding member has a protrusion in the recess, and the ceiling of the recess has a hole in opposing relation to the protrusion of the shielding member, for receiving the projection of the spring piece of the multipin connector.
