Abstract

A shielded connector includes a shield shell and a shield member. The shield shell includes a shield member mounting portion on which the shield member is mounted by fastening of a binding member. The shield member mounting portion includes a fastening position aligning unit on an outer surface thereof. The fastening position aligning unit includes an inclined portion and a binding member movement restricting portion. The inclined portion is inclined in a tapered shape from a base end side of the shield member mounting portion toward an open end side. The binding member movement restricting portion restricts the binding member from moving toward the open end side of the shield member mounting portion.

Claims (14)

1. A shield shell comprising:

a housing accommodation portion that includes a shell fixing portion configured to be fixed to a conductive mounting target and that is configured to accommodate a housing; and

a shield member mounting portion that is formed so as to be continuous to the housing accommodation portion and that has an outer surface on which a shield member is mounted by fastening of a binding member,

wherein a fastening position aligning unit is provided on an entire circumference or at a plurality of positions of the outer surface of the shield member mounting portion;

wherein the fastening position aligning unit includes an inclined portion and a restricting portion;

wherein the inclined portion is inclined in a tapered shape from a base end side of the shield member mounting portion toward an open end side of the shield member mounting portion; and

wherein the restricting portion is continuous to a lowest portion of the inclined portion and restricts the binding member from moving toward the open end side of the shield member mounting portion when the shield member is pulled toward the open end side of the shield member mounting portion,

wherein the restricting portion intersects the inclined portion at an acute angle.

2. The shield shell according to claim 1 , wherein the shield member mounting portion is formed such that a cross-section taken along a direction perpendicular to an axial direction of the shield member mounting portion has an elliptical shape or an oval shape; and

wherein in a case where the fastening position aligning unit is provided at a plurality of positions in the outer surface of the shield member mounting portion, the fastening position aligning units are disposed to face long side portions of the shield member mounting portion.

3. The shield shell according to claim 1 , wherein the restricting portion is formed at a height that is substantially equal to or greater than sum of a height of the shield member and a height of the binding member in a thickness direction when the shield member is mounted on the shield member mounting portion by fastening of the binding member.

4. The shield shell according to claim 1 , wherein a portion where the restricting portion is continuous to the outer surface of the shield member mounting portion is formed in a curved shape in cross-section.

5. The shield shell according to claim 1 , wherein in the inclined portion, an outer diameter of the base end side of the shield member mounting portion is larger than an outer diameter of the open end side of the shield member mounting portion.

6. The shield shell according to claim 5 , wherein outside of the inclined portion, an outer diameter of the base end side of the shield member mounting portion and an outer diameter of the open end side of the shield member mounting portion are equal to the outer diameter of the base end side of the shield member mounting portion in the inclined portion.
