Abstract
A shielded connector (A) is used with a conductive path (B) that has wires (10) extending beyond an end of a conductive shield (11). The shielded connector (A) has a housing (20) for accommodating terminal fittings (40) connected with ends of the wires (10). The wires (10) are surrounded by a conductive shield (11). A conductive tube (50) connects an end of the shield (11) and the shielding shell (30) and surrounds the wires (10). An insulating wire cover (80) is disposed between the conductive tube (50) and the wires (10). The insulating coating of the wires (10) could be peeled off to expose a conductor inside. However, the wire cover (80) prevents electrical contact of such a conductor and the conductive tube (50).
Claims12
A shielded connector connectable with a shielded conductor path having at least one wire surrounded by a tubular shield, comprising:
- a housing for accommodating at least one terminal fitting connected with an end of the wire;
- a conductive shielding shell engaged with the housing;
- a conductive tube connecting the shielding shell and the shield and surrounding the wire;
- and
- an insulation disposed between the conductive tube and the wire to define a specified space therebetween.
A shielded connector connectable with a shielded conductor path having at least one wire surrounded by a tubular shield, comprising:
- a housing for accommodating at least one terminal fitting connected with an end of the wire;
- and
- a conductive shielding shell arranged for shielding the housing, the shielding shell including a tubular connecting portion directly connectable with an end of the tubular shield;
- and
- an insulation disposed between the tubular connecting portion and the wire to define a space therebetween.
A shielded connector connectable with a shielded conductor path having wires surrounded by a tubular shield, comprising:
- a housing with cavities for accommodating terminal fittings connected with ends of the wires;
- a conductive shielding shell engaged with the housing and substantially surrounding the terminal fittings;
- a conductive tube connecting the shielding shell and the shield and surrounding portions of the wires between shielding shell and the shield of the conductor path;
- a substantially tubular wire cover formed from an insulating resin and disposed between the conductive tube and the wires to maintain a specified space therebetween;
- and
- an insulating tape wrapped around the wires and the wire cover for securing the wire cover in fixed position relative to the wires.
