Shielded connector and method of manufacturing shielded connector
View Patent ↗There is provided a method of manufacturing a shielded connector which includes: a terminal-attached wire; a housing containing the terminal of the terminal-attached wire; a shielded shell integrated to the housing; a knitted conductor mounted to the wire; and a shield ring interposing the knitted conductor between the shield ring and the shielded shell so that the knitted conductor is electrically connected to the shielded shell. The method includes: inserting, into the shielded shell, a single core having a stepped portion formed in a opposed drawing direction; bringing a contact portion formed at the shielded shell into contact with the core; covering the shield ring on the shielded shell via the knitted conductor; and calking the shield ring, the knitted conductor, and the shielded shell from outer side of the shield ring to form, on the shielded shell, a calk-deformed portion contained into the stepped portion of the core.
1. A shielded connector, comprising:
a terminal-attached wire in which a terminal is connected to an end portion of a wire;
a housing which contains the terminal of the terminal-attached wire;
a shielded shell integrated to the housing;
a knitted conductor outwardly mounted to the wire; and
a shield ring interposing the knitted conductor between the shield ring and the shielded shell, to be calked so that the knitted conductor is electrically connected to the shielded shell,
wherein the shielded shell includes:
a calk-deformed portion which is formed by being calked in a state that a single core having a stepped portion is inserted into the shielded shell;
a cylindrical portion along which the calk-deformed portion is formed; and
a contact portion which is a flange extending radially inwardly from one end of the cylindrical portion to contact a peripheral face of the core for maintaining a clearance formed by the stepped portion between the contact portion and the peripheral face of the core at a portion other than the calk-deformed portion.
2. The shielded connector of claim 1 , wherein the contact portion extends radially inwardly from the calk-deformed portion.
3. The shielded connector of claim 1 , wherein the shielded shell includes at least one side plate extending radially outwardly from another end portion of the cylindrical portion, the side plate defining an engaging hole for engaging a locking piece.
4. The shielded connector of claim 1 , wherein the calk-deformed portion and the contact portion extend inwardly from the cylindrical portion radially to substantially the same extent as one another.
