Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A shield connector includes a shielded cable ( 11 ) with wires ( 12 ) enclosed by a shield layer ( 13 ). An inner housing ( 16 ) accommodates terminals ( 15 ) connected to the wires ( 12 ). A shield shell ( 20 ) covers the inner housing ( 16 ) and includes a connecting portion ( 23 ) to be connected electrically to the shield layer ( 13 ). An outer housing ( 30 ) accommodates the shield shell ( 20 ) and is locked to a mating connector. The outer housing ( 30 ) includes a body ( 31 ) enabling the shield shell ( 20 ) to be inserted therein through an opening ( 31 A) on a rear side, and two covers ( 40 A, 40 B) integrally hinged to the body ( 31 ) to close the opening ( 31 A) and cover the connecting portion ( 23 ). Each cover ( 40 A, 40 B) includes a first lock ( 43, 44 ) to be locked to the mating cover and a second lock ( 45 ) to be locked to the body.
