Connector for a coaxial flat cable

摘要

A connector for a coaxial flat cable which is reduced in its height from standard connectors of this type while simultaneously enabling the connecting operation to be easily performed. This connector comprises an insulating cover assembled onto an insulating housing having side portions; a plurality of contact members; a plurality of external and central conductors positioned within the cable, the contact members being positioned to be in contact with the central conductors and combined with the insulating cover; conductive plates adapted to be inserted along the length of the cable and positioned in the cable along the direction of the length of the coaxial flat cable and in contact with the side portions of the housing wherein portions of the external and central conductors within the cable without insulation are positioned to contact the external conductors within the cable, the external conductors being grounded; the insulating cover being installed on a top surface of the cable along the direction of the length of the cable and further including a biasing mechanism for biasing the central conductors toward the contacts.
