## Abstract

A connector 10 includes a housing 11 made of synthetic resin, a terminal 12 made of metal to be accommodated into the housing 11, a shield member 14 made of metal to be arranged on an outer periphery of the housing 11, and a cover member 15 made of synthetic resin for covering the shield member 14. The cover member 15 includes shield member locking portions 42 for locking the shield member 14 with the shield member 14 restricted from being detached from the cover member 14.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A connector, comprising:
a housing made of synthetic resin;
a terminal made of metal to be accommodated into the housing;
a shield made of metal to be arranged on an outer periphery of the housing; and
a cover made of synthetic resin for covering the shield and including a pair of side plates extending along a front to rear direction, each side plate including shield locking portions positioned at front and rear ends of each side plate for locking with the shield to restrict the shield from being detached from the cover,
wherein the shield includes stopping portions having a bent shape by being folded from an inner side to an outer side of each side plate over the shield locking portions.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The connector of claim 1, wherein the cover includes a housing locking portion for locking the housing with the housing restricted from being detached from the cover.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The connector of claim 2, wherein:
the housing locking portion of the cover is resiliently deformable, and
the housing includes a protrusion to be locked by the housing locking portion.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The connector of claim 1, wherein:
the cover includes a ceiling plate coupling the pair of side plates, and
the shield locking portions of the cover lock the stopping portions.

### Claim 5

A cover unit to be mounted on a housing, comprising:
a shield; and
a cover made of synthetic resin for covering the shield and including a pair of side plates extending along a front to rear direction, each side plate including a shield locking portions positioned at front and rear ends of each side plate for locking with the shield to restrict the shield from being detached from the cover,
wherein the shield includes stopping portions having a bent shape by being folded from an inner side to an outer side over the shield locking portions of each side plate of the cover.
