## Abstract

A contact element includes a clamped portion connected on a shielding net folded back on a sheath after being exposed by removing an end portion of the sheath of a shield wire, and a folded portion formed to extend the clamped portion, the folded portion being folded to an inside of the clamped portion, and inserted between the shielding net and an inner insulator so that the sheath and the shielding net are nipped by the clamped portion and the folded portion.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A construction for preventing a shift of sheath of a shield wire, said construction comprising:
an outer housing;
an inner housing including a terminal receiving chamber for receiving a terminal, formed within said outer housing;
a shell insertion groove formed between said outer housing and said inner housing;
a metal shell inserted into said shell insertion groove, said metal shell rearwardly extended from said shell insertion groove; and
a contact element, including:
a contact portion connected to said metal shell;
a clamped portion connected on a shielding net folded back on the sheath after being exposed by removing an end portion of the sheath of the shield wire; and
a folded portion connected to said clamped portion, said folded portion being folded to an inside of said clamped portion, and inserted between the shielding net and an inner insulator so that the sheath and the shielding net are nipped by said clamped portion and said folded portion.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The construction of claim 1, wherein said folded portion is formed by cutting a part of said contact portion.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The construction of claim 1, wherein said contact element has a cylindrical shape.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The construction of claim 1, wherein said contact element has a cylindrical shape, and wherein said folded portion is formed by folding an end portion of said clamped portion in cylindrical shape.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The construction of claim 1, further comprising a insertion gap formed between said inner housing and said metal shell inserted into said shell insertion groove, wherein said contact element is contacted said metal shell by inserting said contact portion of said contact element into said insertion gap.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The construction of claim 1, wherein said contact element is press-fitted to the shield wire by clamping said clamped portion.

### Claim 7

A contact element, comprising:
a clamped portion connected on a shielding net folded back on a sheath after being exposed by removing an end portion of the sheath of a shield wire; and
a folded portion connected to said clamped portion, said folded portion being folded to an inside of said clamped portion, and inserted between the shielding net and an inner insulator so that the sheath and the shielding net are nipped by said clamped portion and said folded portion.

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The contact element of claim 7, wherein said folded portion is formed by cutting a part of said contact element.

### Claim 9 (depends on 7)

The contact element of claim 7, wherein said contact element has a cylindrical shape.

### Claim 10 (depends on 7)

The contact element of claim 7, wherein said contact element has a cylindrical shape, and wherein said folded portion is formed by folding an end portion of said clamped portion in cylindrical shape.

### Claim 11 (depends on 7)

The contact element of claim 7, wherein said contact element is press-fitted to the shield wire by clamping said clamped portion.
