A shield-type connector includes: an inner shell made of metal and provided in an inner housing; an outer shell made of metal and provided in an outer housing; and a cover shell made of metal and contacting with both of the inner shell and the outer shell, in which the inner shell, the outer shell and the cover shell include contact portions that contact with each other, and the contact portion of the cover shell is inserted between the contact portion of the inner shell and the contact portion of the outer shell.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A shield-type connector comprising: an inner shell made of metal and provided in an inner housing; an outer shell made of metal and provided in an outer housing; and a cover shell made of metal and contacting with both of the inner shell and the outer shell, wherein the inner shell, the outer shell and the cover shell include contact portions that contact with each other, and the contact portion of the cover shell is inserted between the contact portion of the inner shell and the contact portion of the outer shell. 2 . The shield-type connector according to claim 1 , wherein: each of the contact portions included in the inner shell, the outer shell and the cover shell is formed by one of three kinds of shape portions that include a spring plate shape portion having elastic force, a protrusion shape portion protruding to a contact side and a flat plate shape portion having a flat plate shape. 3 . The shield-type connector according to claim 2 , wherein: one of the contact portion of the inner shell and the contact portion of the outer shell is the spring plate shape portion having the elastic force, and the other of the contact portion of the inner shell and the contact portion of the outer shell is the protrusion shape portion protruding to the contact side; and the contact portion of the cover shell is the flat plate shape portion having the flat plate shape. 4 . The shield-type connector according to claim 2 , wherein: each of the contact portion of the inner shell and the contact portion of the outer shell is the spring plate shape portion having the elastic force; and the contact portion of the cover shell is the flat plate shape portion having the flat plate shape. 5 . The shield-type connector according to claim 2 , wherein: each of the contact portion of the inner shell and the contact portion of the outer shell is the flat plate shape portion having the flat plate shape; and the contact portion of the cover shell is the spring plate shape portion having the elastic force. 6 . The shield-type connector according to claim 2 , wherein: one of the contact portion of the inner shell and the contact portion of the outer shell is the spring plate shape portion having the elastic force, and the other of the contact portion of the inner shell and the contact portion of the outer shell is the flat plate shape portion having the flat plate shape; and the contact portion of the cover shell is the protrusion shape portion protruding to the contact side. 7 . The shield-type connector according to claim 2 , wherein: the spring plate shape portion is a spring piece that has a cantilever shape and that extends from a rear side of the shield-type connector to a front side of the shield-type connector; the flat plate shape portion is a flat plate that extends from the rear side of the shield-type connector to the front side of the shield-type connector; and the contact portion of the cover shell is inserted from the rear side of the shield-type connector toward between the contact portion of the inner shell and the contact portion of the outer shell. 8 . The shield-type connector according to claim 1 , wherein: the inner shell includes two side surfaces each of which includes at least one contact portion and a top surface that includes at least one contact portion; the outer shell includes two side surfaces each of which includes at least one contact portion and a top surface or a rear surface that includes at least one contact portion; and the cover shell includes two side surfaces each of which includes at least one contact portion and a top surface that includes at least one contact portion. 9 . The shield-type connector according to claim 8 , wherein: the outer shell includes the rear surface that includes at least one contact portion and that covers an upper half of the outer housing; and the cover shell includes a rear surface that covers a lower half of the outer housing.
