In the left-right direction, the left terminal set 23D was inserted between the side walls of the bent portions 33g and 33j and the bent portions 33h and 33k. In the vertical direction, the right terminal set 23C and the left terminal set 23D were arranged at the center of the upper surface of the upper wall 31A and the lower surfaces of the bent portions 33g, 33h, 33i, 33j, 33k, 33l.
- FIG. 12 is a diagram showing the results of numerical simulation.
- FIG. 12 shows the relationship between the frequency of the signal flowing through the left terminal set 23D and S21 (S parameter).
- S parameter S parameter
- the solid line shows the result when the shield member 25B is installed
- the dotted line shows the result when the shield member is not installed. It was found that about 3 dB and S21 were reduced when the shield member 25B was provided as compared with the case where the shield member 25B was not provided. That is, by providing the shield member 25B, the isolation characteristic between the right terminal set 23C and the left terminal set 23D could be enhanced.
- a groove-shaped recess may be formed on the upper surface of the lower case 18 (the bottom surface of the internal space S). This recess does not penetrate the lower case 18 in the vertical direction.
- the shield members 25 and 25A are held by the main body 12 including the lower case 18 by fitting into the groove of the lower case 18. Therefore, the positions of the shield members 25 and 25A with respect to the main body 12 are stable.
- the shield member can be provided in any area between the right terminal set 23A and the left terminal set 23B.
- the region where the shield member 25 exists is the leaf spring portion 20Ab of the right movable terminal 20A and the leaf spring portion of the left movable terminal 20B. Only a part of the moving area of 20Bb may be included. As long as the isolation characteristic between the right terminal set 23A and the left terminal set 23B can be enhanced, the size, shape, and arrangement of the shield member can be appropriately set.
- the shield member may be provided only between the contact portion 20Ac and the contact portion 20Bc and in the vicinity thereof.
- the external terminal 14 has one tubular portion 32 for the two holes 34A and 34B.
- the external terminal 14 may have one tubular portion for each of the holes 34A and 34B.
- the coaxial connector may have three or more sets of fixed terminals and movable terminals.
- the coaxial connectors 10 and 10A may be provided with a further set of fixed terminals and movable terminals (hereinafter referred to as “third terminal set”) on the right side of the right terminal set 23A.
- third terminal set a further set of fixed terminals and movable terminals
- a third hole similar to the holes 34A and 34B is provided corresponding to the third terminal set. Looking at the coaxial connector in the vertical direction, it is preferable that none of the shield members overlaps with any of the holes 34A, 34B and the third hole. As a result, the same effect as described above can be obtained.
- the present invention is useful for a coaxial connector with a switch having at least two sets of fixed terminals and movable terminals.
