Abstract

A shield connector includes an inner housing to hold terminals connected to wires and a shield shell to accommodate the inner housing and the end of the shielded cable. The shield shell includes a base and a cover to cover the inner housing. The base includes a bottom plate to cover a lower surface of the inner housing and base-side plates to cover side surfaces of the inner housing. A front-rear restricting convex portion extends vertically and engages a front-rear restricting cut to restrict relative movements of the inner housing and the base in a front-rear direction. A vertical restricting convex portion engages a vertical restricting hole to restrict relative vertical movements of the inner housing and the base.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A shield connector to be connected to an end part of a shielded cable with wires including at least one communication wire and a shield conductor for collectively covering around the wires, comprising: an inner housing formed from an insulating resin and configured to hold terminals connected to conductor end parts of the wires; and a shield shell formed from a metal material and having opposite front and rear ends, the shield shell being configured to accommodate the inner housing and the end part of the shielded cable, wherein: the shield shell includes a base, the inner housing being arranged on the base, and the shield shell further including a cover to be fit to the base to cover the inner housing; the base includes a bottom plate configured to cover a lower surface of the inner housing and a pair of base-side plate rising from both sides of the bottom plate to cover both side surfaces of the inner housing, the side surface of the inner housing includes: a front-rear restricting convex portion projecting out, extending in a vertical direction and configured to restrict relative movements of the inner housing and the base in a front-rear direction; and a vertical restricting convex portion projecting out and configured to restrict relative movements of the inner housing and the base in the vertical direction; the side surface of the base-side plate includes: a front-rear restricting cut formed from one end toward the other end in the vertical direction and at a position spaced from the front and rear ends, the front-rear restricting cut to be engaged with the front-rear restricting convex portion; and a vertical restricting hole to he engaged with the vertical restricting convex portion; the vertical restricting convex portion extends continuously from the front-rear restricting convex portion; and the front-rear restricting cut and the vertical restricting hole communicate with one another.

2. A shield connector to be connected to an end part of a shielded cable with wires including at least one communication wire and a shield conductor for collectively covering around the wires, comprising: an inner housing formed from an insulating resin and configured to hold terminals connected to conductor end parts of the wires; and a shield shell formed from a metal material and having opposite front and rear ends, the shield shell being configured to accommodate the inner housing and the end part of the shielded cable, wherein: the shield shell includes a base, the inner housing being arranged on the base, and the shield further including a cover to be fit to the base to cover the inner housing; the base includes a bottom plate configured to cover a lower surface of the inner housing and a pair of base-side plate rising from both sides of the bottom plate to cover both side surfaces of the inner housing, the side surface of the inner housing includes: a front-rear restricting convex portion projecting out, extending in a vertical direction and configured to restrict relative movements of the inner housing and the base in a front-rear direction; and a plurality of vertical restricting convex portions projecting out and configured to restrict relative movements of the inner housing and the base in the vertical direction; includes: a front-rear restricting cut formed from one end toward the other end in the vertical direction at a position spaced from the front and rear ends, the front-rear restricting cut and to be engaged with the front-rear restricting convex portion; and a plurality vertical restricting holes to be engaged respectively with the vertical restricting convex portions; the vertical restricting convex portions and the vertical restricting hole are provided at intervals in the front-rear direction.

3. A shield connector to be connected to an end part of a shielded cable with wires including at least one communication wire and a shield conductor for collectively covering around the wires, comprising: an inner housing formed from an insulating resin and configured to hold terminals connected to conductor end parts of the wires; and a shield shell formed from a metal material and having opposite front and rear ends, the shield shell being configured to accommodate the inner housing and the end part of the shielded cable, wherein: the shield shell includes a base, the inner housing being arranged on the base, and the shield shell further including a cover to be fit to the base to cover the inner housing; the base includes a bottom plate configured to cover a lower surface of the inner housing and a pair of base-side plate rising from both sides of the bottom plate to cover both side surfaces of the inner housing, the side surface of the inner housing includes: a front-rear restricting convex portion projecting out, extending in a vertical direction and configured to restrict relative movements of the inner housing and the base in a front-rear direction; and a vertical restricting convex portion projecting out and configured to restrict relative movements of the inner housing and the base in the vertical direction; includes: a front-rear restricting cut formed from one end toward the other end in the vertical direction at a position spaced from the front and rear ends, the front-rear restricting cut and to be engaged with the front-rear restricting convex portion; and a vertical restricting hole to be engaged with the vertical restricting convex portion; the front-rear restricting convex portion and the vertical restricting convex portion are formed on the side surface of the inner housing; and the front-rear restricting cut and the vertical restricting hole are formed in the base-side plate.

4. The shield connector of claim 1 , wherein: there are a plurality of the vertical restricting convex portions and a plurality of the vertical restricting hole; and the vertical restricting convex portions and the vertical restricting hole are provided at intervals in the front-rear direction.

5. A shielded cable with connector, comprising: a shielded cable with wires including at least one communication wire and a shield conductor for collectively covering around the wires; and the shield connector of claim 1 connected to an end part of the shielded cable.

6. The shield connector according of claim 2 , wherein: the front-rear restricting convex portion and the vertical restricting convex portion are formed on the side surface of the inner housing; and the front-rear restricting cut portion and the vertical restricting hole portion are formed in the base-side plate portion.
