Abstract

Abstract A printed circuit board mounted connector includes an insulating body and a shield plate. The insulating body incorporating contact terminals and adapted to be mounted on a printed circuit board. The shield plate covers a front surface and both side surfaces of the insulating body. The shield plate has bent portions which are formed by partially cutting and bending a shield plate portion corresponding to the front surface of the insulating body and extend toward the insulating body to define a substantially circular opening for receiving annular shield contact terminals of a mating connector, and shield springs which are formed by partially cutting and bending shield plate portions corresponding to both the side walls of the insulating body and extend away from the insulating body. The shield springs are brought into contact with a ground plate extending in a direction perpendicular to a surface of the printed circuit board.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim 146 words
A printed circuit board mounted connector comprising: an insulating body incorporating contact terminals and adapted to be mounted on a printed circuit board; and a shield plate for covering a front surface and two side surfaces of said insulating body, said shield plate being provided with bent portions which are formed by partially cutting and bending a shield plate portion corresponding to said front surface of said insulating body and extend toward said insulating body to define a substantially circular opening for receiving annular shield contact terminals of a mating connector, and shield springs which are formed by partially cutting and bending shield plate portions corresponding to said two side walls of said insulating body and extend away from said insulating body, said shield springs being brought into contact with a ground plate extending in a direction perpendicular to a surface of said printed circuit board.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 146 words
A printed circuit board mounted connector comprising: an insulating body incorporating contact terminals and adapted to be mounted on a printed circuit board; and a shield plate for covering a front surface and two side surfaces of said insulating body, said shield plate being provided with bent portions which are formed by partially cutting and bending a shield plate portion corresponding to said front surface of said insulating body and extend toward said insulating body to define a substantially circular opening for receiving annular shield contact terminals of a mating connector, and shield springs which are formed by partially cutting and bending shield plate portions corresponding to said two side walls of said insulating body and extend away from said insulating body, said shield springs being brought into contact with a ground plate extending in a direction perpendicular to a surface of said printed circuit board.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 26 words
A connector according to claim 1, wherein said bent portions have bending angles set so that said substantially circular opening is narrowed toward said insulating body.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 37 words
A connector according to claim 2, further comprising mounting lock pieces extending from shield plate portions corresponding to said two side walls of said insulating body toward said insulating body so as to lock said insulating body.
