A connector includes an insulative holding member having a generally-cylindrical tubular shape, and a conductive shielding member which includes a cover portion for covering an outer peripheral face of the holding member and a clamping portion. The holding member has a receiving portion. The cover portion has an engaging portion which engages with the receiving portion. The holding member has a guide groove for guiding the engaging portion to the receiving portion, the guide groove extending from an end portion of the holding member along a first direction in which the holding member extends. The guide groove has a first end and a second end, the first end disposed on the end portion of the holding member, and the second end disposed so as to opposed to the first end. A width of the guide groove gradually increases toward the first end to the second end.
1. A connector, comprising:
an insulative holding member for holding a terminal, and the holding member having a generally-cylindrical tubular shape; and
a conductive shielding member which includes a cover portion for covering an outer peripheral face of the holding member, and a fixing portion for fixing a coaxial cable for electrical connection to the terminal;
wherein the holding member has a receiving portion;
wherein the cover portion has an engaging portion which engages with the receiving portion;
wherein the holding member has a guide groove for guiding the engaging portion to the receiving portion, the guide groove being extended from an end portion of the holding member along a first direction in which the holding member extends;
wherein the guide groove has a first end and a second end, the first end disposed on the end portion of the holding member, and the second end disposed so as to be opposed to the first end; and
wherein a width of the guide groove gradually increases toward the first end to the second end.
2. The connector as set forth in claim 1 , the holding member has a slope face for guiding the engaging portion to the receiving portion; and
wherein the slope face is disposed between the receiving portion and the guide groove.
3. The connector as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the receiving portion is a receiving groove having a rectangular shape in cross-section; and
wherein the receiving groove is formed on the outer face of the holding member.
4. The connector as set forth in claim 3 , wherein a width of the receiving groove is substantially equal to that of the second end of the guide groove.
5. The connector as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the holding member has a flange portion; and
wherein when the engagement portion is engaged with the receiving portion, an end portion of the cover portion of the shielding member is abutted against the flange portion.
