Abstract
Abstract A electrical connector main body of a metallic-shell-equipped connector has a pair of right and left mounting portions, and each of the mounting portions has a perforation on its upper end. An electrically conductive nut-like member is fitted into the perforation. An electrically conductive plate member or an electrically conductive mounting member is fitted into the perforation in contact with an end surface of the nut-like member. A metallic shell which has projections on its internal surface is fitted onto or into a surface of the connector main body so that the projections contact the periphery of the nut-like member. Part of the electrically conductive plate member or an electrically conductive mounting member is electrically connected to an electrically conducting portion of a printed wiring board by bolting or by soldering.

Claim 2
Dependent Claim
98 words
A metallic-shell-equipped electrical connector comprising: a connector main body having a pair of right and left mounting portions, each of said mounting portions having a perforation; an electrically conductive nut-like member which is fitted into said perforation; an electrically conductive plate member which is fitted into said perforation in contact with an end surface of said electrically conductive nut-like member and is disposed along a lower surface of said connector main body; and a metallic shell which is fitted onto a surface of said connector main body in contact with a periphery of said electrically conductive nut-like member.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
91 words
A metallic-shell-equipped electrical connector comprising: a connector main body having a pair of right and left mounting portions, each of said mounting portions having a perforation; an electrically conductive nut-like member which is fitted into said perforation; an electrically conductive mounting member comprising a connector main body fixing portion which is fitted into said perforation in contact with an end surface of said nut-like member; and a metallic shell which is fitted onto a surface of said connector main body in contact with a periphery of said electrically conductive nut-like member.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
91 words
A metallic-shell-equipped electrical connector comprising: a connector main body having a pair of right and left mounting portions, each of said mounting portions having a perforation; an electrically conductive nut-like member which is fitted into said perforation; an electrically conductive mounting member comprising a connector main body fixing portion which is fitted into said perforation in contact with an end surface of said nut-like member; and a metallic shell which is fitted onto a surface of said connector main body in contact with a periphery of said electrically conductive nut-like member.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
159 words
A metallic-shell-equipped connector according to claim 2: wherein said electrically conductive mounting member is a plate-like lock and hold-down member which is integrally made up of a pair of wing pieces, a locking portion having two pieces of branched pieces provided on each of their outer sides with a locking projection, and a board-fixing portion; wherein one of said pair of wing pieces is fitted into said perforation in contact with said electrically conductive nut-like member; wherein said two pieces of branched pieces of said board-locking portion are electrically connected to an electrically conductive portion of a printed wiring board when said two pieces of branched pieces are inserted into a throughgoing hole in the printed wiring board and are engaged with an edge of said throughgoing hole by soldering; and wherein said board-fixing portion is electrically connected to said electrically conducting portion of the printed wiring board when said board-fixing portion is soldered to said electrically conducting portion.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
83 words
A metallic-shell-equipped connector according to claim 2: wherein said electrically conductive mounting member is a plate-like hold-down member which is integrally made up of a pair of wing pieces and a board-fixing portion; wherein one of said pair of wing pieces is fitted into said perforation in contact with said electrically conductive nut-like member; and wherein said board-fixing portion is electrically connected to an electrically conductive portion of a printed wiring board when said board-fixing portion is soldered to said electrically conductive portion.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
122 words
A metallic-shell-equipped connector according to claim 2: wherein said electrically conducting mounting member is a plate-like lock member which comprises, on one end, a locking portion having two pieces of branched pieces provided on each of their outer sides with a locking projection and, on the other end, a connector main body fixing portion; wherein said connector main body fixing portion is fitted into said perforation in contact with said electrically conductive nut-like member; and wherein said locking portion is electrically connected to an electrically conductive portion of a printed wiring board when said two pieces of branched pieces are fitted into a throughgoing hole in the printed wiring board and are engaged with an edge of said throughgoing hole by soldering.
