Abstract
Abstract A connector A includes a plurality of conductors. Each conductor consists of a contact 1, a terminal piece member 2, and a connecting conductor 3 connecting the contact 1 with the terminal piece member 2. The conductors are respectively held on a body 10 of the connector. The connecting conductors 3 are arranged in three layers in such a position relationship that can prevent them from short-circuiting each other and also can prevent a crosstalk from being produced between them. In this structure, the connecting conductors 3 are arranged in two or more levels, which makes it easier for the connector to be designed for prevention of the crosstalk when compared with a structure in which the connecting conductors 3 are arranged in one plane.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
89 words
A connector comprising: a plurality of contacts to be electrically contacted with the contacts of a mating connector; a plurality of terminal piece members to be connected with external electric wires to be adapted; a plurality of connecting conductors for electrically connecting mutually corresponding contacts and terminal piece members with each other; and a body, formed of insulation material, for holding said contacts, said terminal piece members and said connecting conductors thereon, said connecting conductors being held on said body at least in two layers in a thickness direction.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
32 words
A connector as claimed in claim 1, wherein the connecting conductors of said connector in different layers are arranged in such a position relationship as to prevent them from crossing each other.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
21 words
A connector as claimed in claim 1, wherein said connecting conductors in said respective layers are formed in the same plane.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
49 words
A connector as claimed in claim 1, wherein said external electric wires are respectively twisted pair wires and said terminal piece members are arranged in such a manner that every pair of terminal piece members to be connected with a corresponding set of twisted pair wires adjoin each other.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
81 words
A connector as claim in claim 4, wherein said twisted pair wires each consists of a pair of a first wire covered with an insulation cover colored in a first color and a second wire covered with an insulation cover colored in one of a second color, and said first color and said second color, and the connection relationship of said terminal piece members with said contacts is set such that said first wires and said second wires are arranged alternately.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
46 words
A connector as claimed claim 1, wherein at least one of said connecting conductors includes a detour portion which passes on the opposite side to said contacts with respect to the terminal piece members that are formed continuously with the remaining ones of said connecting conductors.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
87 words
A connector comprising: a plurality of contacts to be electrically contacted with the contacts of a mating connector; a plurality of terminal piece members to be connected with external electric wires to be adapted; a plurality of connecting conductors for electrically connecting mutually corresponding contacts and terminal piece members with each other, each of said connecting conductors including a crosstalk restricting portion capable of reducing a crosstalk; and a body, formed of insulation material, for holding said contacts, said terminal piece members and said connecting conductors thereon.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
22 words
A connector as claimed in claim 7, wherein said crosstalk restricting portion is formed by changing the width of said connecting conductor.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
22 words
A connector as claimed in claim 7, wherein said crosstalk restricting portion is formed by changing a gap between said connecting conductors.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
48 words
A connector as claim in claim 7, wherein said crosstalk restricting portion includes a detour portion which is so detoured as to thereby be able to change the arrangement order of said connecting orders with respect to the arrangement orders of said terminal piece members and said contacts.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
51 words
A connector as claimed in claim 10, wherein said detour portion is so formed as to detour on the opposite side to the associated contact with respect to the remaining terminal piece members, or detour on the opposite side to the associated terminal piece member with respect to the remaining contacts.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
38 words
A connector as claimed in claim 7, wherein said crosstalk restricting portion is formed by providing a stopped portion having a level difference in a direction intersecting at right angles to the arrangement direction of said connecting conductors.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
65 words
A connector as claimed in claim 7, wherein an auxiliary cross talk restricting portion is formed in such a manner that one end side in the longitudinal direction of one of at least a pair of adjoining contacts is connected with its associated connecting conductor, and the other end side in the longitudinal direction of the other contact is connected with its associated connecting conductor.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim
25 words
A connector as claim in claim 7, wherein said connecting conductors being held on said body at least in two layers in a thickness direction.
Claim 15
Dependent Claim
135 words
A connector comprising: eight contacts to be electrically contacted with the contacts of a mating connector; eight terminal piece members to be connected with external electric wires to be adapted; eight connecting conductors for electrically connecting mutually corresponding contacts and terminal piece members with each other; and a body, formed of insulation material, for holding said contacts, said terminal piece members and said connecting conductors thereon, wherein the base portions of the first, fourth and eighth ones of said contacts are positioned nearer to said terminal piece members than the base portions of the remaining ones of said contacts, and at least two of the first, third and fifth ones of said connecting conductors, or, at least two of the fourth, sixth and eighth ones of said connecting conductors are positioned near to each other.
Claim 16
Dependent Claim
160 words
A connector comprising: a plurality of contacts to be electrically contacted with the contacts of a mating connector; a plurality of terminal piece members to be connected with external electric wires to be adapted; a plurality of connecting conductors for electrically connecting mutually corresponding contacts and terminal piece members with each other; and a body, formed of insulation material, for holding said contacts, said terminal piece members and said connecting conductors thereon, wherein the base portions of said contacts are arranged in two or more lines, and one of two or more contacts, which adjoin each other and the base portions thereof are arranged in mutually different lines, is connected with its associated connecting conductor through a detour portion passing on the opposite side to said terminal piece member with respect to the base portion of the other contact, whereby said two contacts and said connecting conductors respectively connected with said two contacts are arranged in a mutually reversed order.
