Abstract: A connector includes a housing, an outer shield including a tubular portion, and a terminal surrounded by the tubular portion of the outer shield. The connector is connected to a mating connector by moving toward the mating connector in a predetermined direction relatively with respect to the mating connector. A first end of the tubular portion of the outer shield is located in the predetermined direction in the tubular portion. The tubular portion of the outer shield has an inner circumferential surface facing a hollow space, an outer circumferential surface opposite to the inner circumferential surface, and a distal end surface provided at the first end. At least one of the distal end surface, the outer circumferential surface, and the inner circumferential surface is seamless over an entire circumference of the tubular portion surrounding the hollow space along a circumferential direction of the tubular portion.

Abstract: A connector includes plural terminals, a housing holding the terminals, and an inner shield. The connector is configured to be connected to a mating connector by moving toward the mating connector in a first direction relatively with respect to the mating connector. The terminals include two terminals arranged on both sides of the inner shield in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. The inner shield includes a base extending in a third direction perpendicular to the first direction and the second direction, and an extension protruding from the base. The housing includes a shield holder holding the extension. This connector reduces noise propagation between the terminals.

Abstract: A connector includes a housing, an outer shield fixed to the housing and including a tubular portion, and a terminal held by the housing and surrounded by the tubular portion of the outer shield. The tubular portion has a first end and a second end opposite to each other. The first end and the second end of the tubular portion open. The tubular portion surrounds a hollow space. The connector is configured to be connected to a mating connector by moving toward the mating connector in a predetermined direction relatively with respect to the mating connector. The first end of the tubular portion of the outer shield is located in the predetermined direction in the tubular portion. The tubular portion of the outer shield has an inner circumferential surface facing the hollow space, an outer circumferential surface opposite to the inner circumferential surface, and a distal end surface provided at the first end. At least one of the distal end surface, the outer circumferential surface, and the inner circumferential surface is seamless over an entire circumference of the tubular portion surrounding the hollow space along a circumferential direction of the tubular portion.

Abstract: A connector includes an outer shield, a terminal surrounded by the outer shield, a housing fixed to the outer shield and holding the terminal; and an inner shield surrounded by the outer shield. The outer shield, the inner shield, and two virtual paths that connect the two tip regions of the inner shield to the outer shield by shortest distances, respectively, constitute plural electrically-closed loops surrounding the terminal. The electrically-closed loops include one or more particular electrically-closed loops. Each of the one or more particular electrically-closed loops does not surround any electrically-closed loop among the plurality of electrically-closed loops other than the each of the one or more particular electrically-closed loops. A longest loop length of the one or more loop lengths of the one or more particular electrically-closed loops is shorter than a wavelength of a maximum frequency of a transmission signal flowing through the terminal. This connector reduces resonance of a transmission signal.
