Abstract

A connector is provided to facilitate the connection work of a connection terminal and to enhance the connection reliability. A connector includes an attachment part that includes a terminal stand; a connector main body that includes a connection terminal connected to a cable, the connection terminal being fastened and fixed to the terminal stand in a state in which the connector main body is mounted to the attachment part; a cable shield shell that covers an introduction part for the cable in the connector main body; and a connection part shield shell that covers a fastening area between the connection terminal and the terminal stand so as to accommodate the cable shield shell inside the connection part shield shell.

Claims (25)

1. A connector mounted on a panel, comprising:

a connector main body including:

a terminal plate section in which a connection terminal connected to a cable is provided; and

an introduction part accommodating the cable;

an attachment part fastened to the panel so as to cover an attachment hole formed in the panel, the attachment part including:

a terminal stand;

an outer wall enclosure surrounding the terminal stand and protruding in a first direction from the panel thereby forming an enclosed space extending in the first direction above the panel; and

a fastening bolt standing upward on a surface of the terminal stand in the enclosed space protruding from the panel and toward the connector main body in the first direction, the fastening bolt on the terminal stand being inserted into a connection hole of the connection terminal thereby the connection terminal being fastened and fixed to the terminal stand;

a panel on which the attachment part is provided;

a cable shield shell covering the introduction part for the cable in the connector main body; and

a connection part shield shell covering a fastening area between the connection terminal and the terminal stand so as to accommodate the cable shield shell inside the connection part shield shell, wherein:

the cable shield shell is connected to a shield layer of the cable, and the cable shield shell is fixed to the panel via a fastening part of the connection part shield shell, and

the terminal plate section of the connector main body is inserted into the enclosed space extending in the first direction of the outer wall enclosure of the attachment part in the first direction, insertion of the terminal plate section into the enclosed space guides the fastening bolt on the terminal stand to be inserted into the connection hole of the connection terminal in the first direction, thereby positioning the connection terminal on the terminal stand in a fastening position.

2. The connector according to claim 1 , wherein

the connector main body is configured such that the introduction part for the cable is inclined to a direction separate away from a fastening direction of the connection terminal to the terminal stand.

3. The connector according to claim 1 , wherein

the connector main body is molded in a state where the introduction part for the cable is embedded at a part of the connector main body.

4. The connector according to claim 1 , wherein

the panel includes a screw hole,

the cable shield shell includes a shell main body and a fixing piece having a hole section formed at a side of the shell main body,

the connection part shield shell includes a bolt insertion hole,

the screw hole of the panel, the hole section of the cable shield shell and the bolt insertion hole of the connection part are communicated with each other with a bolt inserted therethrough so that the connection part shield shell is electrically conducted with the panel and the fixing piece of the cable shield shell is pinched by the panel and the connection part shield shell.

5. The connector according to claim 1 , wherein the connector main body is provided in the enclosed space above the panel after being inserted into the enclosed space.

6. The connector according to claim 1 , wherein the attachment part includes a plurality of stay parts provided on an outer surface of the outer wall enclosure, and

wherein the attachment part is fixed to the panel by the plurality of stay parts being fixed to the panel.
