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 part of an outer conductor, the tubular member surrounding and holding the dielectric;
• a lower cover member covering at least a lower portion of the tubular member, the lower cover member having a base plate and first and second side plates projecting from the base plate and spaced from each other, at least one guide groove formed in each of the first and second side plates at positions aligned with each other in a front to back direction;
• and
• an upper cover member being connected to the lower cover member with the tubular member disposed therebetween, the upper cover member having an upper plate and first and second closing plates projecting form the upper plate, at least first and second guide pins formed on inner surfaces of the first and second closing plates at positions facing each other, wherein
• the upper cover member is fit at least partially over the lower cover member, with the first and second guide pins fit into the first and second guide grooves respectively, the first and second guide pins sliding along the first and second guide grooves to fully connect the upper and lower cover members.
