- Figure 17 is an exploded perspective view of a connector including a gasket without an insertion groove according to another embodiment of the present disclosure.
- the above-mentioned insertion groove 1434 is not formed in the gasket 1430 according to another embodiment of the present disclosure, and both the upper and lower surfaces may be formed to be flat.
- the gasket 1430 is placed on the support member 1410, for example, a protruding seating portion 1414 (see FIG. 14) or a protruding insertion portion 1418 (see FIG. 14). ) can be seated on the connector 1400 and cover it.
- the gasket 1430 does not include the insertion groove 1434 and is formed in a flat shape, the shielding effect of the connector 1400 is improved and the manufacturing cost is reduced due to the simple structure.
- Figure 18 is an exploded perspective view of a connector including a gasket with an insertion groove according to another embodiment of the present disclosure.
- an insertion groove 1434 may be formed in the gasket 1430 according to another embodiment of the present disclosure, as described above.
- an insertion groove 1434 may be formed on the lower surface of the gasket 1430.
- one surface (eg, lower surface) of the gasket 1430 may be formed to be stepped, and the insertion groove 1434 may be formed on the stepped surface.
- Figure 19 is a simulation result for the connector shown in Figures 17 and 18.
- the return loss (A) of the connector 1400 covered with the flat gasket 1430 without the insertion groove 1434 described in relation to FIG. 17 is 19.1064 when the frequency of the high frequency signal is 4 GHz.
- the return loss (B) of the connector 1400, which includes the insertion groove 1434 described in relation to FIG. 18 and is covered with a gasket 1430 formed to be stepped is shown to be 26.7269 dB when the frequency of the high-frequency signal is 4 GHz. That is, it can be seen that when the insertion groove 1434 is formed in the gasket 1430 and the connector 1400 and the gasket 1430 are combined using this, the reflection loss is improved.
- relatively excellent reflection loss can be expected while improving the shielding effect of the connector 1400, and the simple structure reduces manufacturing costs, so it is necessary. Accordingly, a gasket 1430 of an appropriate structure can be selected and applied.
