Abstract
A shield connector (C) includes a tubular metallic shield shell (30) integrally attached to the outer circumferential surface of a housing (10) made of resin by insert molding. The shield shell (30) is formed with a cut (32) extending between opposite ends in a longitudinal direction, and a pair of opening preventing pieces (34A, 34B) which extend radially inward or outward, circumferentially face each other and can come into contact with each other when edges (33A, 33B) at the opposite sides of the cut (32) are displaced in directions away from each other are provided on the opposite edges (33A, 33B) of the shield shell 30 facing each other with the cut (32) therebetween.

A shield connector (C) comprising:
- a housing (10) made of resin and having an outer peripheral surface;
- and
- a tubular metallic shield shell (30) integrally attached to the outer peripheral surface of the housing (10) by insert molding, the shield shell (30) having opposite ends spaced apart in a longitudinal direction (LD) and a cut (32) extending between the opposite ends, first and second edges (33A, 33B) at opposite sides of the cut (32), first and second opening preventing pieces (34A, 34B) extending out or in from the respective first and second edges (33A, 33B) and at least partly facing one another, the first and second opening preventing pieces (34A, 34B) being engageable with one another to limit displacement of the edges (33A, 33B) away from one another and the first and second opening preventing pieces (34A, 34B) being engageable respectively with the second and first edges (33B, 33A) to limit displacement of the edges (33B, 33A) toward one another.
A shield connector (C) comprising:
- a housing (10) made of resin and having an outer peripheral surface;
- and
- a tubular metallic shield shell (30) integrally attached to the outer peripheral surface of the housing (10), the shield shell (30) having opposite ends spaced apart in a longitudinal direction (LD) and a cut (32) extending between the opposite ends, first and second edges (33A, 33B) at opposite sides of the cut (32), first and second opening preventing pieces (34A, 34B) extending from the respective first and second edges (33A, 33B) and at least partly facing one another, the first opening preventing piece (34A) being between the second opening preventing pieces (34B) and the second edge (33B) and the second opening preventing piece (34B) being between the first opening preventing piece (34A) and the first edge (33A), whereby the first and second opening preventing pieces (34A, 34B) are engageable with one another to limit displacement of the edges (33A, 33B) away from one another and the first and second opening preventing pieces (34A, 34B) being engageable respectively with the second and first edges (33B, 33A) to limit displacement of the edges (33B, 33A) toward one another.
