Tilt limiting shielded connector unit

1. A shielded connector unit including:

a lower shielded connector to be connected downwards to a lower positioned first instrument;

an upper shielded connector to be connected sideways to a second instrument positioned above the first instrument; and

a flexible conductive part comprising an electric wire which is configured to connect the lower shielded connector to the upper shielded connector and a braid which is configured to enclose a bare portion of the electric wire existing between a shielding shell of the lower shielded connector and a shielding shell of the upper shielded connector, further comprising:

a protector that is configured to enclose and protect the conductive part from the outside while ensuring flexibility of at least a portion of the conductive part, wherein

an interference part is provided at a lower portion of the protector and configured to interfere with a support provided on the first instrument or the shielding shell of the lower shielded connector when the lower shielded connector is connected to the first instrument, thereby preventing the conductive part and the upper shielded connector from tilting in excess of a certain degree, which would otherwise be caused by flection of the conductive part protected by the protector, the interference part and the support provided on the first instrument or the shielding shell of the lower shielded connector being not interfered when the conductive part and the upper shielded connector being tilted within an angle smaller than the certain degree.

2. The shielded connector unit according to claim 1 , wherein the interference part is a corner of a lower portion of a back of the protector.

3. The shielded connector unit according to claim 1 , wherein the shielding shell of the lower shielded connector is provided with, as an L-shaped wall, the support for tilting prevention purpose with which the interference part of the protector is to interfere, and the interference part of the protector is provided as a flat wall.

4. The shielded connector unit according to claim 1 , wherein the upper shielded connector comprises a plurality of upper shielded connectors; the plurality of conductive parts are provided separated from each other in accordance with the plurality of upper shielded connectors; the protector comprising a plurality of protectors corresponding with the plurality of upper shielded connectors; and a supporting piece for preventing tilting of the protector not having the interference part is provided on only a tilt prevention side of the protector having the interference part among the plurality of protectors.

5. The shielded connector unit according to claim 1 , wherein the interference part is offset from a centerline of the lower shielded connector.

6. The shielded connector unit according to claim 1 , wherein the interference part is configured to interfere with a support provided on the first instrument.

7. The shielded connector unit according to claim 1 ,

wherein the interference part is configured to interfere with a tilt prevention support of the shielding shell of the lower shielded connector, and

wherein the tilt prevention support comprises a wall extending orthogonal to an axis of connection of the lower shielded connector, the wall being configured to provide an outer limit on a range of tilt of the conductive part and the upper shielded connector.

8. The shielded connector unit according to claim 1 ,

wherein the protector comprises two halves, a front half and a back half.
