CONNECTOR AND CONNECTOR ASSEMBLY

摘要

A connector comprises a shell fixed portion connected to a shell, a ground contact and a differential pair consisting of two signal contacts. The ground contact has a ground fixed portion. Each signal contact has a signal fixed portion. The shell fixed portion, the signal fixed portions and the ground fixed portion are fixed to the circuit board when the connector is used. The shell fixed portion, one of the signal fixed portions, a remaining one of the signal fixed portions, the ground fixed portion form a fixed-portion group in which they are adjacent to one another in this order. Moreover, the ground fixed portion and the signal fixed portions are arranged in a row along a pitch direction. When the fixed-portion group is seen along the pitch direction, at least a part of the shell fixed portion occupies an area same as a part of the signal fixed portion.

主权项

1. A connector mountable on a circuit board in an up-down direction, the connector comprising a shell, one or more of shell fixed portions, one or more of ground contacts and one or more of differential pairs, wherein:
each of the shell fixed portions is connected to the shell and is to be fixed to the circuit board; each of the ground contacts has a ground fixed portion which is to be fixed to the circuit board; each of the differential pairs consists of two signal contacts; each of the signal contacts has a signal fixed portion which is to be fixed to the circuit board; the shell fixed portions, the ground fixed portions and the signal fixed portions form one or more of fixed-portion groups; each of the fixed-portion groups consists of one of the shell fixed portions, one of the ground fixed portions and the two signal fixed portions of one of the differential pairs; in each of the fixed-portion groups, the shell fixed portion is adjacent to one of the signal fixed portions, the one of the signal fixed portions is adjacent to a remaining one of the signal fixed portions, the remaining one of the signal fixed portions is adjacent to the ground fixed portion, and the ground fixed portion and the signal fixed portions are arranged in a row along a pitch direction perpendicular to the up-down direction; and when each of the fixed-portion groups is seen along the pitch direction, at least a part of the shell fixed portion occupies an area same as a part of the signal fixed portion.
