Abstract

Abstract A pin plug connector is comprised of a pin, a body which will be connected with the pin by insertion, a cover which will attach over circumferential side of the body, a covered shield line which comprises a core line, a shield line and a cover portion, a terminal which will connect the shield line to the cover, a cap which will fit over asembled components noted above, and wherein improvement is introduced in that the terminal is provided with a press fitter to press-fit the shield line and a clamping end to clamp the cover portion of the line, and an engaging end to engage with the cover, thereby external forces which attempt to pull the shield line will be resonably divided to the connections mounted on the terminal and then a break of connection will be avoided.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim 175 words
A pin plug connector for an electric cable having a core line, a shield line, and a cover portion for covering said lines, comprising: a cylindrical pin having a press connector at one end thereof for connecting said core line thereto; a terminal for connecting said shield line, said terminal having a clamping end at one end thereof for clamping said cover portion, a slidably detachable first engagement element at the other end thereof and a press connector between said clamping end and said first engagement element; a substantially cylindrical unitary insulating body provided with a through hole along a central axis thereof and a circumferential surface, said through hole having an inner diameter substantially equivalent to an outer diameter of said cylindrical pin; and a cylindrical conductive unitary cover slidably and detachably covering said insulating body, said cylindrical conductive unitary cover having a length longer than that of said unitary insulating body and having a slidably detachable second engagement element at one end thereof for receiving said first detachable engagement elements of said terminal.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 175 words
A pin plug connector for an electric cable having a core line, a shield line, and a cover portion for covering said lines, comprising: a cylindrical pin having a press connector at one end thereof for connecting said core line thereto; a terminal for connecting said shield line, said terminal having a clamping end at one end thereof for clamping said cover portion, a slidably detachable first engagement element at the other end thereof and a press connector between said clamping end and said first engagement element; a substantially cylindrical unitary insulating body provided with a through hole along a central axis thereof and a circumferential surface, said through hole having an inner diameter substantially equivalent to an outer diameter of said cylindrical pin; and a cylindrical conductive unitary cover slidably and detachably covering said insulating body, said cylindrical conductive unitary cover having a length longer than that of said unitary insulating body and having a slidably detachable second engagement element at one end thereof for receiving said first detachable engagement elements of said terminal.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 45 words
