Shield terminal

A shield terminal, comprising:

• an inner conductor to be connected to a front part of a core of a shielded cable;
• a dielectric configured to accommodate the inner conductor;
• a tubular member constituting an outer conductor, the tubular member surrounding and holding the dielectric;
• a connecting member separate from the tubular member and constituting the outer conductor, the connecting member including a crimping portion connectable to a shield layer of the shielded cable;
• a hook formed on a front end part of the connecting member, the hook being lockable to a rear edge of the tubular member;
• and
• a guide means configured to guide the connecting member to a proper assembly position while allowing the connecting member to swing with the hook as a support;
• wherein:
• the guide means includes:
• left and right guide pins formed on both left and right outer side surfaces of the dielectric;
• and
• left and right guide grooves formed in left and right inner plate parts constituting the connecting member, the guide pins sliding in contact with the guide grooves;
• and
• the guide grooves are formed by being cut obliquely rearward from front end edges of the inner plate parts.
