Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An object of the present invention is to provide a shield case capable of applying shield to a connection portion by means of various versatile connectors. A configuration is made such that the shield case includes a lower case ( 8 ) to be mounted on a housing ( 3 ) of an electronic control device and an upper case ( 9 ) to be fitted into the lower case ( 8 ) with a harness ( 2 ) having a female connector ( 5 ) being nipped. In the shield case, the lower case ( 8 ) and the upper case ( 9 ) are fastened to the housing ( 3 ) by screws ( 10 ) with a shield conductor ( 7 ) of the harness ( 2 ) being nipped between the lower case ( 8 ) and the upper case ( 9 ).

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A shield case comprising: a metallic lower case to be mounted on a housing of an electronic control device; and a metallic upper case to be fitted into said lower case with a connector and a harness being nipped, wherein said lower case and said upper case are fastened to said housing with a shield conductor of said harness being nipped, whereby said housing, said shield conductor of said harness, said lower case, and said upper case are electrically connected. 2. The shield case according to claim 1 , wherein said lower case and said upper case include a hook provided on one of said lower case and said upper case and a claw provided on the other side thereof, and said upper case is fitted into said lower case by engaging said hook with said claw. 3. The shield case according to claim 2 , wherein said hook and said claw are configured so as to be engaged having a gap between said lower case and said upper case. 4. The shield case according to claim 2 , wherein said hook and said claw are provided in a plural number on each side of said lower case and said upper case, respectively. 5. The shield case according to claim 3 , wherein said hook and said claw are provided in a plural number on each side of said lower case and said upper case, respectively. 6. The shield case according to claim 1 , wherein a configuration is made such that a protrusion is formed on said lower case or said upper case so as to press said shield conductor of said harness by the protrusion. 7. The shield case according to claim 2 , wherein a configuration is made such that a protrusion is formed on said lower case or said upper case so as to press said shield conductor of said harness by the protrusion. 8. The shield case according to claim 3 , wherein a configuration is made such that a protrusion is formed on said lower case or said upper case so as to press said shield conductor of said harness by the protrusion. 9. The shield case according to claim 1 , further comprising a clamp having spring properties, said clamp being inserted between said lower case and said upper case. 10. The shield case according to claim 2 , further comprising a clamp having spring properties, said clamp being inserted between said lower case and said upper case. 11. The shield case according to claim 3 , further comprising a clamp having spring properties, said clamp being inserted between said lower case and said upper case. 12. The shield case according to claim 1 , wherein said lower case and said upper case are fastened together and fixed to said housing by screws at both sides of holding portions with said shield conductor of said harness being nipped. 13. The shield case according to claim 2 , wherein said lower case and said upper case are fastened together and fixed to said housing by screws at both sides of holding portions with said shield conductor of said harness being nipped. 14. The shield case according to claim 3 , wherein said lower case and said upper case are fastened together and fixed to said housing by screws at both sides of holding portions with said shield conductor of said harness being nipped.
