Abstract

A shield shell includes a housing accommodation portion and a shield member mounting portion. The shield member mounting portion is formed to be continuous to the housing accommodation portion. A shield member fixing part is provided on an outer surface of the shield member mounting portion. The shield member fixing part has an inclined shape in which a cross-section taken along an axial direction of the shield member mounting portion expands outwards from a base end side of the shield member mounting portion toward an open end side of the shield member mounting portion.

Claims (28)

1. A shield shell comprising:

a housing accommodation portion including a shell fixing portion to be fixed to a mounting target portion which is electrically conductive; and

a shield member mounting portion which is formed to be continuous to the housing accommodation portion and on which a shield member is to be mounted by fastening of a binding member,

wherein the shield member mounting portion includes at least one shield member fixing part provided on an outer surface of the shield member mounting portion,

wherein the shield member fixing part has an inclined shape in which a cross-section taken along an axial direction of the shield member mounting portion expands outwards 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 shield member fixing part is to be fastened by the binding member.

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

wherein a plurality of the shield member fixing parts are provided on the outer surface of the shield member mounting portion, and

wherein at least one of the plurality of the shield member fixing parts is disposed on a long side portion of the shield member mounting portion.

3. The shield shell according to claim 1 , wherein the shield member fixing part has a curved shape in which a cross-section taken along the axial direction of the shield member mounting portion is downwardly convex.

4. A shield connector comprising:

a shield member;

a shield shell;

a housing that is accommodated in the shield shell;

a conduction path with a terminal that is accommodated in the housing; and

a binding member,

wherein the shield shell includes:

a housing accommodation portion including a shell fixing portion to be fixed to a mounting target portion which is electrically conductive; and

a shield member mounting portion which is formed to be continuous to the housing accommodation portion and on which a shield member is to be mounted by fastening of the binding member,

wherein the shield member mounting portion includes at least one shield member fixing part provided on an outer surface of the shield member mounting portion, and

wherein the shield member is mounted on the shield member fixing part by the binding member, and

wherein the shield member fixing part has an inclined shape in which a cross-section taken along an axial direction of the shield member mounting portion expands outwards from a base end side of the shield member mounting portion toward an open end side of the shield member mounting portion.

5. The shield shell according to claim 1 , wherein the shield member fixing part has a maximum outer diameter portion, a minimum outer diameter portion, and an intermediate portion disposed between the maximum and minimum outer diameter portions.

6. The shield shell according to claim 5 , wherein the minimum outer diameter portion houses the binding member.

7. The shield shell according to claim 1 , wherein a fastening position aligning portion is formed on both the outer surface of the shield member fixing part and on the base end side of the shield member mounting portion.

8. The shield shell according to claim 7 , wherein a fastening position aligning portion is adjacent to the binding member.

9. The shield connector according to claim 4 , wherein the shield member includes a cylindrical braid.

10. The shield connector according to claim 4 , wherein the binding member includes a binding band or a crimp ring.
