Abstract
Abstract An electrical connector with an antenna terminal includes an insulation housing (4) having a base portion (4a) with at least one mounting hole (6); an antenna terminal insulation column (9) extending forwardly from the base portion and having a central aperture (14) therethrough; and an outer conductor terminal (22) having a cylindrical terminal body (23) fitted over the antenna terminal insulation column and a conductor portion (24) extending outwardly from a lower edge of the terminal body and having a ring portion (25) which is placed on the mounting hole for attachment to a grounding object.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
142 words
An electrical connector with an antenna terminal, comprising: an insulation housing having a base portion with a mounting hole thereon and a side wall extending upwardly from said base portion to define a fitting cavity; an antenna terminal insulation column extending upwardly from said base portion within said fitting cavity and having a central aperture therethrough; a slit provided on said side wall so as to extend upwardly from said base portioning a vertical plane which includes said mounting hole and said insulation column; and an outer conductor terminal having a cylindrical portion fitted over said insulation column, a conductor portion extending outwardly from a lower edge of said cylindrical portion and fitted in said slit of said side wall, and a ring portion placed on said mounting hole for attachment to a grounding object, thereby eliminating rug washer and soldering process.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
142 words
An electrical connector with an antenna terminal, comprising: an insulation housing having a base portion with a mounting hole thereon and a side wall extending upwardly from said base portion to define a fitting cavity; an antenna terminal insulation column extending upwardly from said base portion within said fitting cavity and having a central aperture therethrough; a slit provided on said side wall so as to extend upwardly from said base portioning a vertical plane which includes said mounting hole and said insulation column; and an outer conductor terminal having a cylindrical portion fitted over said insulation column, a conductor portion extending outwardly from a lower edge of said cylindrical portion and fitted in said slit of said side wall, and a ring portion placed on said mounting hole for attachment to a grounding object, thereby eliminating rug washer and soldering process.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
23 words
The electrical connector of claim 1, wherein said outer conductor terminal has at least one press-fit portion extending downwardly from said cylindrical portion.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
126 words
An electrical connector with an antenna terminal, comprising: an insulation housing having a base portion and a fitting block extending forwardly from said base portion and having at least one fitting recess therein; at least one antenna terminal mount formed in said block and having an insulation column with a central aperture therethrough; an inner conductor terminal fitted into said central aperture and connected to a central conductor of a shielded cable; and an outer conductor terminal having a cylindrical portion fitted into said terminal mount, a shield connection portion connected to a shield wire of said shielded cable, and a securing portion for securing said shielded cable to said housing, thereby preventing excessive stresses from being applied to said outer terminal through said shielded cable.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
126 words
An electrical connector with an antenna terminal, comprising: an insulation housing having a base portion and a fitting block extending forwardly from said base portion and having at least one fitting recess therein; at least one antenna terminal mount formed in said block and having an insulation column with a central aperture therethrough; an inner conductor terminal fitted into said central aperture and connected to a central conductor of a shielded cable; and an outer conductor terminal having a cylindrical portion fitted into said terminal mount, a shield connection portion connected to a shield wire of said shielded cable, and a securing portion for securing said shielded cable to said housing, thereby preventing excessive stresses from being applied to said outer terminal through said shielded cable.
