Abstract
A shield connector includes: a female connector having a female terminal connected to a shield wire and a locking protrusion; a male connector having a male terminal connected to the female terminal when the male connector is combined with the female connector, and a coupling protrusion to which the locking protrusion is locked for locking with the female connector; and a connector position assurance that is combined with the female connector to be movable forward/backward and has support levers that support the locking protrusion and prevent the locking protrusion from being unlocked from the coupling protrusion when the connector position assurance is moved forward, in which locking steps are formed at the female connector, and an insertion portion is formed at the male connector.
Claims6
A shield connector, comprising:
- a female connector having a female terminal connected to a shield wire and a locking protrusion for locking to a male connector;
- the male connector having a male terminal connected to the female terminal when the male connector is combined with the female connector, and a coupling protrusion to which the locking protrusion is locked for locking with the female connector;
- and
- a connector position assurance that is combined with the female connector to be movable forward/backward and has support levers that support the locking protrusion and prevent the locking protrusion from being unlocked from the coupling protrusion when the connector position assurance is moved forward,
- wherein locking steps, to which the support levers are locked so that the connector position assurance cannot be moved before the female connector and the male connector are combined, are formed at the female connector, and
- an insertion portion, which unlocks the support levers from the locking steps by pressing respective pressing protrusions on the support levers when the female connector and the male connector are combined, is formed at the male connector;
- wherein a second shield shell made of a conductive metal plate is combined with the male connector, and the second shield shell has first elastic contact portions that are elastically in contact with the first shield shell by pressing the first shield shell, when combined with the first shield shell,
- wherein the second shield shell has a second elastic contact portion that is bent and elastically in contact with a grounding terminal by pressing a grounding terminal of an electric device combined with the male connector.
