Patent ID: 6960097

Claim:
A pressure connection structure for coaxial cables, comprising: a first housing part, which is provided with a plurality of receptacle holes being aligned in a line with predetermined interval distances, in which a plurality of piercing terminals are inserted, respectively, each of the said plurality of piercing terminals including a pair of clipping pieces being composed of conductive metal thin plates, each of the pair of clipping pieces being provided with a piercing blade at a leading end thereof such that the piercing blade of each of the pair of clipping pieces of the piercing terminal points to outside of each of the receptacle holes; and a second housing part, which holds a plurality of press-connecting contacts being provided with U-shaped leading end portions, respectively, as the U-shaped leading end portions project in an opposite direction to the piercing blade pointing direction, wherein said first housing part and said second housing part approach each other in the piercing blade pointing direction and in the U-shaped leading end portion projecting direction, respectively, and engage such that the piercing blade and the corresponding press-connecting contact are offset in an axial direction of the corresponding coaxial cable; wherein said first housing part and said second housing part are provided with the corresponding number of said piercing terminals and said press-connecting contacts, respectively; and wherein: each of the coaxial cables comprises a core conductor wire, an inner insulating layer for covering the core conductor wire, an outer conductor-shielding layer for covering the inner insulating layer, and an outer insulating layer for covering the outer conductor-shielding layer; a distal end portion of each of the coaxial cables is processed such that the outer conductor-shielding layer and the outer insulating layer are removed such that the inner insulating layer is exposed; and the coaxial cables are aligned in a substantially parallel manner to the distal ends of the coaxial cables and disposed in a substantially plain manner between said first housing part and said second housing part such that the coaxial cables are pressed with a predetermined pressure such that each piercing terminal pierces the outer insulating layer of the corresponding coaxial cable to make an electrical connection to the outer conductor-shielding layer, and that each U-shaped leading end portion tears the inner insulating layer of the corresponding coaxial cable to make an electrical connection to the core conductor wire of the cable.
