Coaxial cable shielding terminal

A shielding terminal for a coaxial cable, comprising:

• a press-clamping portion for being press-connected to an end portion of a coaxial cable, wherein said shielding terminal is electrically connectable to a braid of said coaxial cable exposed at the end portion thereof;
• wherein said press-clamping portion includes a pair of braid press-fastening portions extending in a generally upstanding manner respectively from opposite side edges of a terminal bottom plate portion, and being press-connected to said braid by press-fastening,
• a connection piece inserted at a distal end portion thereof between an inner insulating layer of said coaxial cable and said braid from an end side of said coaxial cable so that said braid is held between said connection piece and distal end portions of said braid press-fastening portions, and
• a retaining portion projecting from an inner surface of at least one of said braid press-fastening portions to block the connection piece to be displaced toward a conductor core of said coaxial cable during the press-fastening operation.
