Abstract

A shielded connector structure includes a shielded wire for connecting a device, a shielded connector, and a metal member provided on the device. The shielded connector includes a terminal fitting, a shield terminal, a housing, and a bolt for fixing the housing to the metal member. The metal member includes a circular insertion hole and a female screw portion. The circular insertion hole includes an inner circumferential projected portion and a cutout portion that divides a part of the inner circumferential projected portion. The housing includes a cylindrical housing main body and a fixing flange portion. The housing main body includes a main body insertion portion inserted into the circular insertion hole and a projection portion which protrudes from an outer circumferential surface of the main body insertion portion in conformity with a position of the inner circumferential projected portion.

Claims (16)

1. A shielded connector structure comprising:

a shielded wire for connecting a device;

a shielded connector provided on the shielded wire; and

a metal member provided on the device,

wherein the shielded connector includes a terminal fitting which is connected to a conductor of the shielded wire, a shield terminal which is connected to a shield member of the shielded wire and directly or indirectly comes into contact with the metal member, a housing into which the shielded wire is inserted, and a bolt for fixing the housing to the metal member;

wherein the metal member includes a circular insertion hole and a female screw portion which is disposed in a vicinity of the circular insertion hole;

wherein the circular insertion hole includes an inner circumferential projected portion extending in an inner circumferential direction from an inner surface of the circular insertion hole and a cutout portion that divides a part of the inner circumferential projected portion;

wherein the housing includes a cylindrical housing main body and a fixing flange portion having a bolt insertion hole and which is integrated with the housing main body;

wherein the housing main body includes a main body insertion portion configured to be inserted into the circular insertion hole and a projection portion which protrudes from an outer circumferential surface of the main body insertion portion and is engageable with the inner circumferential projected portion in the circular insertion hole;

wherein the projection portion is disposed so as to be aligned with a first axis that links a main body center of the housing main body and a hole center of the bolt insertion hole, and is disposed so that the main body center is arranged between the bolt insertion hole and the projection portion; and

wherein the cutout portion is disposed so as to be aligned with a third axis intersecting with a second axis that links a center of the circular insertion hole and a center of the female screw portion.

2. The shielded connector structure according to claim 1 , wherein the third axis intersects with the second axis at an acute angle.

3. The shielded connector structure according to claim 1 , wherein the inner circumferential projected portion is formed in a C-shaped rib in a state where the circular insertion hole is viewed from a front side.

4. The shielded connector structure according to claim 1 , wherein a close contact surface and an outer circumferential projected portion are formed on the outer circumferential surface of the main body insertion portion;

wherein a packing is attached on the close contact surface; and

wherein the outer circumferential projected portion positions the packing.
