Abstract

A shielded connector includes device-side connector which is fixed to a shield case and a cable-side connector which is attached to an end of an external cable and is fitted to the device-side connector. The device-side connector includes a device-side connection terminal, a device-side resin housing, and a device-side shield shell. The device-side shield shell includes a mating shell fixing part which electrically connects the device-side shield shell and a cable-side shield shell.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A shielded connector which connects an external cable to a circuit in a shield case of a device, the shielded connector comprising:
a device-side connector which is fixed to the shield case; and
a cable-side connector which is attached to an end of the external cable and is fitted to the device-side connector,
wherein the device-side connector includes:
a device-side connection terminal which has one end connected to the circuit in the shield case and the other end fitted to a connection terminal of the cable-side connector;
a device-side resin housing which accommodates and holds the device-side connection terminal and can be fitted to the cable-side connector;
a device-side shield shell which holds the device-side resin housing and has a case-fixing flange part which is fixed to an outer surface of the shield case by a first screw in a face contact state; and
a first packing which is pressed onto the outer surface of the shield case when the case-fixing flange part is fixed to the shield case by the first screw to seal a space between device-side connector and the shield case;

wherein the device-side shield shell has a mating shell fixing part which is fastened to a cable-side shield shell provided on the cable-side connector to electrically connect the device-side shield shell and the cable-side shield shell; and
wherein the mating shell fixing part is fastened to the cable-side shield shell by a second screw in a direction being the same as an extending direction of the first screw which fastens the case-fixing flange part to the shield case.

2. The shielded connector according to claim 1 , wherein the device-side shield shell has a thick part which is formed in thick shape so as to protrude to an outer side of the shield case beyond the projecting height of the first screw, which fastens the case-fixing flange parts to the shield case, and functions as a hood part to accommodate a fitting part of the cable-side connector; and
wherein the mating shell fixing part is provided on the thick part.
