US 10,256,574 B2 · Connector and shielding shell

Abstract

A shield connector includes a shielded cable (11) with wires (12) enclosed by a shield layer (13). An inner housing (16) accommodates terminals (15) connected to the wires (12). A shield shell (20) covers the inner housing (16) and includes a connecting portion (23) to be connected electrically to the shield layer (13). An outer housing (30) accommodates the shield shell (20) and is locked to a mating connector. The outer housing (30) includes a body (31) enabling the shield shell (20) to be inserted therein through an opening (31A) on a rear side, and two covers (40A, 40B) integrally hinged to the body (31) to close the opening (31A) and cover the connecting portion (23). Each cover (40A, 40B) includes a first lock (43, 44) to be locked to the mating cover and a second lock (45) to be locked to the body.

A connector, comprising:

a housing internally provided with an accommodation space including a first opening open in a connecting direction toward a connection side to a device and a second opening open in a pull-out direction substantially normal to the connecting direction, a conductive member electrically connected to the device being pulled out from the second opening in the pull out direction;
and
a shielding shell shaped to extend in each of the connecting direction to the device and the pull-out direction of the conductive member, arranged in the accommodation space and configured to cover the conductive member in the accommodation space, the shielding shell including a first shell member extending in the connecting direction and having opposed first and second ends and at least one engaging portion formed at the first end and a second shell member extending in the pull-out direction and having opposed first and second ends with at least one engaged portion formed at the first end,
wherein the at least one engaging portion of the first shell member engages the at least one engaged portion of the second shell member to connect the first shell member to the second shell member in such a posture that the first and second shell members are perpendicular to each other.
