Abstract
Abstract An electrical connector includes an insulating housing (100) consisting of a front section (111) and a rear section (112), the front section having a cylindrical contact support section (120) with a plurality of contact apertures (121) extending along its longitudinal axis and the rear section having a rear cavity (119) in a lower portion thereof; a plurality of L-shaped contact elements (300) each having a contact portion (301), an intermediate portion (302) extending rearwardly from the contact portion, and a terminal portion (303) extending downwardly from the intermediate portion, the contact portion being fitted into the contact aperture; and a block member (200) having a plurality of lateral channels (201) for receiving the intermediate portions and a plurality of vatical apertures (202) for receiving the terminal portions, the block member being fitted into the rear cavity so that the intermediate and terminal portions are fitted into the lateral channels and the vertical apertures respectively.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
165 words
An electrical connector comprising an insulating housing, a metal hood member, and a plurality of contact elements mounted within said insulating housing, characterized in that said contact elements have a contact portion for contact with a mating contact element within said insulating housing, an intermediate portion extending rearwardly from said contact portion, and a terminal portion extending downwardly from said intermediate portion through said insulating housing; said insulating housing has an annular recess for receiving a mating shell member, a rear cavity for receiving a block member for supporting said intermediate portions of contact elements within said hood member; said hood member has a pair of leg members to be connected to a ground circuit on a printed circuit board and a pair of flanges extending inwardly from lower edges thereof for supporting said block member; and that said block member has lateral channels for receiving said intermediate portions of contact elements and vertical apertures through which said terminal portions of contact elements are pass.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
165 words
An electrical connector comprising an insulating housing, a metal hood member, and a plurality of contact elements mounted within said insulating housing, characterized in that said contact elements have a contact portion for contact with a mating contact element within said insulating housing, an intermediate portion extending rearwardly from said contact portion, and a terminal portion extending downwardly from said intermediate portion through said insulating housing; said insulating housing has an annular recess for receiving a mating shell member, a rear cavity for receiving a block member for supporting said intermediate portions of contact elements within said hood member; said hood member has a pair of leg members to be connected to a ground circuit on a printed circuit board and a pair of flanges extending inwardly from lower edges thereof for supporting said block member; and that said block member has lateral channels for receiving said intermediate portions of contact elements and vertical apertures through which said terminal portions of contact elements are pass.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
143 words
An electrical connector comprising an insulating housing consisting of a front section and a rear section, said front section having a cylindrical contact support section with a plurality of contact apertures extending along its longitudinal axis and said rear section having a rear cavity in a lower portion thereof; and a plurality of L-shaped contact elements each having a contact portion, an intermediate portion extending rearwardly from said contact portion, and a terminal portion extending downwardly from said intermediate portion, said contact portion being fitted into said contact aperture; characterized by a block member having a plurality of lateral channels for receiving said intermediate portions and a plurality of vertical apertures for receiving said terminal portions, said block member being fitted into said rear cavity so that said intermediate and terminal portions are fitted into said lateral channels and said vertical apertures respectively.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
143 words
An electrical connector comprising an insulating housing consisting of a front section and a rear section, said front section having a cylindrical contact support section with a plurality of contact apertures extending along its longitudinal axis and said rear section having a rear cavity in a lower portion thereof; and a plurality of L-shaped contact elements each having a contact portion, an intermediate portion extending rearwardly from said contact portion, and a terminal portion extending downwardly from said intermediate portion, said contact portion being fitted into said contact aperture; characterized by a block member having a plurality of lateral channels for receiving said intermediate portions and a plurality of vertical apertures for receiving said terminal portions, said block member being fitted into said rear cavity so that said intermediate and terminal portions are fitted into said lateral channels and said vertical apertures respectively.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
40 words
The electrical connector of claim 2, which further comprises a metal hood member having a pair of elongated contacts, a pair of attachment sections, and a U-shaped link section to be fitted into said U-shaped recess of said rear section.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
51 words
The electrical connector of claim 3, wherein said hood member has a pair of flanges extending inwardly and said block member has a pair of stepped lower edges such that when said hood member is joined to said insulating housing, said flanges engage said lower edges to support said block member.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
22 words
The electrical connector of claim 3, wherein said metal hood member has a back plate so as to enhance its shielding effects.
