Abstract

An electromagnetic shield connector is provided with a terminal-equipped shielded cable formed by mounting a terminal on an end of a shielded cable, an insulating inner housing including a first terminal fitting opening and a first wire insertion opening and configured to accommodate the terminal of the terminal-equipped shielded cable, a shield sleeve to be connected to a shield member of the shielded cable on the shielded cable and to be externally mounted on the shielded cable further on the side of the shielded cable than the terminal, an outer housing made of conductive metal, including a second terminal fitting opening and a second wire insertion opening, configured to accommodate the inner housing and to be connected to the shield sleeve, and a grounding portion provided on the outer housing and connectable to an external grounding member.

Claims (14)

1. An electromagnetic shield connector, comprising:

a terminal-equipped shielded cable formed by mounting a terminal on an end of a shielded cable;

an insulating inner housing including a first terminal fitting opening and a first wire insertion opening and configured to accommodate the terminal of the terminal-equipped shielded cable;

a shield sleeve to be connected to a shield member of the shielded cable on the end of the shielded cable and to be externally mounted on the shielded cable further on the shielded cable side than the terminal;

an outer housing made of conductive metal, including a second terminal fitting opening and a second wire insertion opening, configured to accommodate the inner housing and to be connected to the shield sleeve; and

a grounding portion provided on the outer housing and connectable to an external grounding member,

an engaging portion to be engaged with the inner housing and a connecting portion arranged at the same axial position as the engaging portion and to be connected to the outer housing being provided on an end part of the shield sleeve on the inner housing side.

2. The electromagnetic shield connector of claim 1 , wherein the grounding portions of the outer housing are provided on both sides across the second terminal fitting opening.

3. The electromagnetic shield connector of claim 2 , wherein the grounding portions are shaped to project toward the external grounding member and provided at three or more positions distributed on the both sides across the second terminal fitting opening.

4. The electromagnetic shield connector of claim 1 , wherein the external grounding member is a case made of conductive metal, a mating connector being mounted on the case, and the grounding portion is provided with a through hole, a connection bolt used to fix the outer housing to the case being passed through the through hole.

5. The electromagnetic shield connector of claim 1

in the shield sleeve, one end part is externally mounted on the shielded cable and another end part has a larger diameter than the one end part and externally mounted on an end part of the inner housing on a side where the first wire insertion opening is provided, and

the engaging portion and the connecting portion are provided in a part of the shield sleeve externally mounted on the inner housing.

6. The electromagnetic shield connector of claim 1 , wherein the entire inner housing is accommodated in the outer housing.
