Abstract
A shield connector includes an inner housing to hold terminals connected to wires and a shield shell to accommodate the inner housing and the end of the shielded cable. The shield shell includes a base and a cover to cover the inner housing. The base includes a bottom plate to cover a lower surface of the inner housing and base-side plates to cover side surfaces of the inner housing. A front-rear restricting convex portion extends vertically and engages a front-rear restricting cut to restrict relative movements of the inner housing and the base in a front-rear direction. A vertical restricting convex portion engages a vertical restricting hole to restrict relative vertical movements of the inner housing and the base.
Claims6
A shield connector to be connected to an end part of a shielded cable with wires including at least one communication wire and a shield conductor for collectively covering around the wires, comprising:
- an inner housing formed from an insulating resin and configured to hold terminals connected to conductor end parts of the wires;
- and a shield shell formed from a metal material and having opposite front and rear ends, the shield shell being configured to accommodate the inner housing and the end part of the shielded cable, wherein:
- the shield shell includes a base, the inner housing being arranged on the base, and the shield shell further including a cover to be fit to the base to cover the inner housing;
- the base includes a bottom plate configured to cover a lower surface of the inner housing and a pair of base-side plate rising from both sides of the bottom plate to cover both side surfaces of the inner housing, the side surface of the inner housing includes:
- a front-rear restricting convex portion projecting out, extending in a vertical direction and configured to restrict relative movements of the inner housing and the base in a front-rear direction;
- and a vertical restricting convex portion projecting out and configured to restrict relative movements of the inner housing and the base in the vertical direction;
- the side surface of the base-side plate includes:
- a front-rear restricting cut formed from one end toward the other end in the vertical direction and at a position spaced from the front and rear ends, the front-rear restricting cut to be engaged with the front-rear restricting convex portion;
- and a vertical restricting hole to he engaged with the vertical restricting convex portion;
- the vertical restricting convex portion extends continuously from the front-rear restricting convex portion;
- and the front-rear restricting cut and the vertical restricting hole communicate with one another.
