Abstract

A connecting component for shielding a connector, and a shield connector including the same, improve electromagnetic wave blocking performance by improving adhesion to a shield component. The connecting component for shielding a connector includes: a housing body configured to surround at least a portion of a wire and to have a first end portion to which a first shield component is coupled and a second end portion to which a second shield component is coupled; a mounting groove formed in the second end portion of the housing body to allow the second shield component to be mounted therein; and a plurality of contact protrusions formed in the mounting groove so as to be in contact with the second shield component coupled to the second end portion of the housing body.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A connecting component for shielding a connector, the connecting component comprising:
a housing body configured to surround at least a portion of a wire, the housing body having a first end portion to which a first shield component is coupled and a second end portion to which a second shield component is coupled;
a mounting groove formed in the second end portion of the housing body to allow the second shield component to be mounted therein; and
a plurality of contact protrusions formed in the mounting groove so as to be in contact with the second shield component coupled to the second end portion of the housing body,
wherein the first end portion of the housing body is assembled with the first shield component in a state of being in contact with an outer surface of the first shield component.

2. The connecting component of claim 1 , wherein the housing body is provided on an outer surface thereof with an anti-corrosion plating layer, and
wherein the anti-corrosion plating layer is made of a same metal material as the second shield component.

3. The connecting component of claim 2 , wherein the housing body is made of synthetic resin,
wherein the housing body is provided on the outer surface thereof with a conductive plating layer to block an electromagnetic wave, and
wherein the anti-corrosion plating layer is formed on an outer surface of the conductive plating layer.

4. The connecting component of claim 3 , wherein a reinforcing plating layer is formed on an outer surface of the conductive plating layer between the conductive plating layer and the anti-corrosion plating layer.

5. The connecting component of claim 1 , wherein the mounting groove is formed so as to extend in a peripheral direction of the housing body, and
wherein the plurality of contact protrusions is disposed so as to be spaced apart from each other in a peripheral direction of the mounting groove.

6. A shield connector comprising:
an outer housing;
an inner housing accommodated in the outer housing;
a rear shield shell mounted to an outer side of the inner housing and assembled with an inner side of the outer housing;
a wire inserted into the inner housing;
a shield braid surrounding and shielding at least a portion of the wire at a rear of the outer housing; and
a shield connecting component having a first end portion, assembled with the inner side of the outer housing and coupled to an outer side of the rear shield shell, and a second end portion to which the shield braid is coupled,
wherein the shield connecting component comprises:
a housing body having the first end portion and the second end portion, the housing body being assembled with the inner side of the outer housing so as to surround a portion of the wire;
a mounting groove formed in the second end portion of the housing body to allow the shield braid to be mounted therein; and
a plurality of contact protrusions formed in the mounting groove so as to be in contact with the shield braid coupled to the second end portion of the housing body,
wherein the first end portion of the housing body is coupled to the rear shield shell in a state of being in contact with an outer surface of the rear shield shell.

7. The shield connector of claim 6 , wherein the housing body is provided on an outer surface thereof with an anti-corrosion plating layer, and
wherein the anti-corrosion plating layer is made of a same metal material as the shield braid.

8. The shield connector of claim 7 , wherein the housing body is made of synthetic resin,
wherein the housing body is provided on the outer surface thereof with a conductive plating layer to block an electromagnetic wave, and
wherein the anti-corrosion plating layer is formed on an outer surface of the conductive plating layer.

9. The shield connector of claim 8 , wherein a reinforcing plating layer is formed on an outer surface of the conductive plating layer between the conductive plating layer and the anti-corrosion plating layer.

10. The shield connector of claim 6 , wherein the mounting groove is formed so as to extend in a peripheral direction of the housing body, and
wherein the plurality of contact protrusions is disposed so as to be spaced apart from each other in a peripheral direction of the mounting groove.
