## Abstract

A shell of a female connector includes two members including a shell body integrated with a female housing and a braided wire fixing member to which a braided wire of a shield cable is crimped and fixed. The braided wire fixing member to which the braided wire is crimped and fixed is mated with a cylindrical portion of the shell body integrated with the female housing.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A shield connector to be mounted to a terminal of a multiple-core shield cable having a plurality of electric wires covered with a braided wire, the shield connector comprising:
a housing for receiving a terminal to be connected with a terminal of each of the electric wires; and
a conductive shell mounted to the housing and to which the braided wire is to be crimped and fixed,
wherein the shell includes:
a cylindrical braided wire fixing member of which a cross-section is formed into a substantial ellipse shape comprising a rubber plug configured to plug a gap between the braided wire fixing member and the plurality of electric wires, and a rear holder configured to position the plurality of electric wires in position corresponding to an interval between the terminal of each of the electric wires,
a braided wire crimping member for crimping and fixing the braided wire to the braided wire fixing member, and
a shell body configured to be separated from the braided wire fixing member and provided to be integrated with the housing before mated with the braided wire fixing member, the shell body having a cylindrical fixing member mating portion of which a cross-section is formed into a substantial ellipse shape and with which the braided wire fixing member is mated.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The shield connector according to claim 1, wherein at least one member of the braided wire fixing member and the fixing member mating portion is provided with a contact for securing an electrical conduction between the braided wire fixing member and the fixing member mating portion by elastically abutting the other member of the braided wire fixing member and the fixing member mating portion in a state that the braided wire fixing member is mated with the fixing member mating portion.
