Abstract
A female connector is provided with a guide protrusion portion so as to cover a tip face of a female side shield shell, and when a male side shield shell is butted against an inclined face provided in the guide protrusion portion and pushed thereto, it proceeds toward an outer edge side of a tip face of the female side shield shell by being guided by the inclined face. Here, since the guide protrusion portion is provided in a female side connector housing of the female connector, a large guidable range can be ensured without being undergone a limitation owing to a wall thickness dimension of the shield shell.
Claims3
A shield connector comprising:
- a connector housing having an engagement mechanism for engaging with a terminal metal fitting;
- a shield shell provided in said connector housing so as to surround the terminal metal fitting, said shield connector fitting with a mating connector housing to thereby cause a mating shield shell provided in said mating connector housing fit with a tip outer side of said shield shell, thereby making both into an electrically connected state;
- and
- a guide protrusion portion for guiding a tip of the mating shield shell so as to be fitted to said shield shell by extending to a side from an inner portion than said shield shell of said connector housing.
