Abstract
A crimp ring (14) is mounted on a braided wire (13) of a shielded cable (12). On the other hand, a shielding shell (20) connectable with a large diameter portion (14b) of the crimp ring (14) is mounted in a housing (8). Entire touching portions (35) are formed at both upper and lower surfaces of the shielding shell (20) by being bent inward to form mountain-shaped resilient contact pieces (36) that can resiliently contact the large diameter portion (14b) and then being folded back outward near the rear edge of the shielding shell (20). Displacement restricting portions (40) are arranged between the touching portions (35) adjacent in width direction to protect the other touching portions (35) from the interference of the shielded cable (12) being inserted or withdrawn.
Claims7
A shielded connector, comprising:
- at least one terminal fitting to be connected with an end of a core of a shielded cable,
- a housing for accommodating the terminal fitting, and
- a shielding shell mounted to the housing for contacting a shielding portion of the shielded cable,
- wherein the shielding shell is formed into a tubular shape at least partly surrounding an outer side of the shielding portion and formed with at least one touching portion that can resiliently contact the shielding portion, the touching portion being provided within the length of the tubular part of the shielding shell without projecting lengthwise from an end edge of the shielding shell, the touching portion being formed by making at least two cuts along a length direction from the end edge of the shielding shell, a strip being defined between the two cuts and projecting inward of the shielding shell for resiliently contacting the shielding portion, the strip being folded back and outward near the end edge of the shielding shell and a stopper edge being formed at the folded end of the touching portion for contacting at least one locking step on the housing when the shielding shell is mounted to the housing for preventing further movement of the shielding shell.
A shielded connector, comprising:
- at least one terminal fitting to be connected with an end of a core of a shielded cable,
- a housing for accommodating the terminal fitting, and
- a shielding shell mounted to the housing for contacting a shielding portion of the shielded cable,
- wherein the shielding shell is formed into a tubular shape at least partly surrounding an outer side of the shielding portion and formed with at least one touching portion that can resiliently contact the shielding portion, the touching portion being provided within the length of the tubular part of the shielding shell without projecting lengthwise from an end edge of the shielding shell, and
- wherein at least one displacement restricting portion projects from at least one of the shielding shell and the housing for restricting an off-center displacement of the shielded cable by having the leading end thereof located at a lateral side of the shielding portion of the shielded cable.
