Abstract

A waterproof shield connector includes an electric wire to which a terminal fitting is connected at an end portion of the electric wire, a resin housing, a rubber waterproof ring, and a shield shell. The resin housing has a terminal insertion hole that holds the electric wire and a rear opening through which the electric wire is inserted. The shield shell is integrally formed with a ring pressing part that closes the rear end opening to cover a rear end of a waterproof ring disposed in the terminal insertion hole and prevent the waterproof ring from a detachment. The shield shell is integrally formed with an electric wire pressing part that is fitted to an outer periphery of the electric wire inserted into the terminal insertion hole and restricts displacement of the electric wire in a radial direction of the electric wire.

Claims (8)

1. A waterproof shield connector comprising:

an electric wire to which a terminal fitting is connected at an end portion of the electric wire;

a resin housing that has a terminal insertion hole that holds the end portion of the electric wire and the terminal fitting and a rear opening through which the end portion of the electric wire and the terminal fitting is inserted into the terminal insertion hole;

a rubber waterproof ring that is fitted to the terminal insertion hole so that an inner periphery of the waterproof ring is in contact with an outer peripheral surface of the electric wire in the terminal insertion hole and an outer periphery of the waterproof ring is in contact with an inner peripheral surface of the terminal insertion hole and seals a gap between the electric wire and the terminal insertion hole; and

a shield shell that is fitted to an outer side of the resin housing to cover an outer periphery of the resin housing and electromagnetically shield the resin housing,

wherein the shield shell is integrally formed with a ring pressing part that closes the rear end opening to cover a rear end of the waterproof ring disposed in the terminal insertion hole and prevent the waterproof ring from a detachment, and

the shield shell is integrally formed with an electric wire pressing part that is fitted to an outer periphery of the electric wire inserted into the terminal insertion hole and restricts displacement of the electric wire in a radial direction of the electric wire.

2. The waterproof shield connector of claim 1 , wherein the resin housing further comprises a case fitting part which is configured to be connected to a metallic shield case of an equipment.
