Description

Connector and Connector Device The present invention relates to a connector and a connector device mounted on a substrate. Conventionally, as an example of a connector mounted on a circuit board, a small connector (receptacle) corresponding to Type C of the USB standard is known (see, for example, Patent Document 1). Type C of the USB standard is a next-generation standard capable of high-speed charging and high-speed communication, and a small receptacle corresponding to this Type C is mounted on smartphones, vehicles, etc. as a connector device such as a charger. The connector (receptacle) described in Patent Document 1 comprises a contact (electrode in the document) that is electrically connected to a plug, an insulator (tongue portion formed on a substrate in the document) that maintains the contact, and a tubular shield member (case in the document) that covers the insulator. This case has a shell portion covering the tongue portion, and a first re-fold portion and a second re-fold portion that are folded inward at the upper and lower portions of the shell portion, respectively, and the tongue portion is positioned between the first re-fold portion and the second re-fold portion. These first re-fold portion and the second re-fold portion function as electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) pads for shielding the plug. Figure 1 is an overall perspective view of the connector. Figure 2 is an exploded perspective view of the connector seen from the top. Figure 3 is an exploded perspective view of the connector seen from the bottom. Figure 4 is a cross-sectional view taken along line IV-IV of Figure 1. Figure 5 is a perspective view with a portion of the connector cut open. FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view of a connector relating to other embodiments. Figure 7 is an overall perspective view of the connector device. Figure 8 is an exploded perspective view of the connector device. Figure 9 is a cross-sectional view of a connector device. FIG. 10 is an enlarged perspective view showing the suction path of the connector device. [Form for carrying out the invention] Hereinafter, embodiments of a connector and a connector device according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In this embodiment, as an example of a connector, a receptacle (100) mounted on a substrate (K) as shown in FIG. 1 will be described. However, the following embodiments are not limited to the following, and various modifications are possible within the scope of not departing from the gist thereof. FIG. 1 is an overall perspective view of the receptacle (100) in the present embodiment, FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 are an exploded perspective view of the receptacle (100) viewed from above and an exploded perspective view of the receptacle (100) viewed from below. FIG. 4 is a side cross-sectional view of the receptacle (100) (cross-sectional view IV-IV of FIG. 1), and FIG. 5 is a perspective view with a portion of the receptacle (100) cut out to correspond to FIG. 4. In addition, the side of the substrate (K) among the receptacle (100) is defined as the side in the direction of gravity or the bottom ("D" in FIG. 1), and the opposite side is defined as the top ("U" in FIG. 1). The side to which the plug (P) (an example of a connection target) is connected is defined as the front ("F" in FIG. 1), and the side opposite to it is defined as the back ("B" in FIG. 1). The directions perpendicular to the up-down direction and the front-back direction are defined as the left ("L" in FIG. 1) and right ("R" in FIG. 1) directions. As shown in FIG. 1, the receptacle (100) in this embodiment is electrically connected to the substrate (K) by being fixed to the through hole (Ka) of the substrate (K) by soldering or the like. An opening (100a) in the shape of a flat elongated circle is formed on the front side of the receptacle (100), and the receptacle (100) and the plug (P) are electrically connected by inserting a plug (P) into this opening (100a). This receptacle (100) is a small connector corresponding to Type C of the USB standard, and can be inserted into the opening (100a) even when the top and bottom of the plug (P) are inverted. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the receptacle (100) comprises a contact (1) electrically connected to a plug (P), a main body (2) (an example of a first insulator) holding the contact (1), an EMC pad (3) (an example of a first shield member) covering the main body (2), a cover (4) (an example of a second shield member) covering the main body (2) in contact with the outer surface of the EMC pad (3), a shell (5) covering the cover (4), and a spacer (6) (an example of a second insulator) disposed between the cover (4) and the substrate (K) on the outer side (bottom side) of the cover (4). The main body (2) and the spacer (6) are formed from an insulating material such as resin, and the contact (1), EMC pad (3), cover (4), and shell (5) are formed from a conductive material such as metal.
