Shield connector
View Patent ↗A shield connector includes plural female terminals 2 , a connector housing 3 , and a shield shell 8 . The connector housing 3 includes a terminal holder 6 that holds the plural female terminals 2 and an inner housing 5 into which the terminal holder 6 is inserted. The shield shell 8 includes an upper shield shell 25 and a lower shield shell that are attached to each other so as to cover the outer periphery of the inner housing 5 . The upper shield shell 25 includes an extension wall 30 which detects the state where the terminal holder 6 is being inserted into the inner housing by overlapping with at least a part of a surface 6 a of the terminal holder 6 on the rear end side in an insertion direction toward the inner housing 5 in the state where the upper shield shell is attached to the inner housing 5 and by coming into contact with the terminal holder 6 so as to regulate the upper shield shell 25 from being attached to the inner housing 5 in the state where the terminal holder 6 is being inserted into the inner housing 5.
1. A shield connector, comprising:
plural terminal metal parts;
an insulating connector housing, including a terminal holder therein for holding the plural terminal metal parts and an inner housing through which the holder is to be inserted in an insertion direction; and
a conductive shield shell, to be attached to the inner housing;
wherein the shield shell includes a pair of upper and lower shell members that are to be attached to each other so as to cover an outer periphery of the inner housing,
wherein one of the upper and lower shell members of the pair of shell members includes an extension wall acting as a detection portion which detects a state where the holder is partially inserted into the inner housing by coming into contact with the holder so as to prevent the one shell member from being attached to the inner housing,
wherein the holder has an axial center line which extends in the insertion direction and a rear end side in the insertion direction which extends towards the axial center line, and
wherein the detection portion overlaps at least part of the rear end side of the holder when the one shell member is attached to the inner housing and the holder is completely inserted into the inner housing.
2. The shield connector according to claim 1 ,
further comprising another detection portion forming a pair of detection portions,
wherein each of the pair of the detection portions is respectively provided on a rear end side of the one shell member in the insertion direction so as to be opposed to each other with the inner housing interposed therebetween.
3. The shield connector according to claim 1 ,
wherein the one shell member has an axial center line which extends in the insertion direction, and
wherein the detection portion extends towards the axial center line of the one shell member.
