Abstract

Disclosed is a shield connector for supporting cables such that terminals of the cables are directly connected to a terminal coupling portion inside a unit, the shield connector including: a fixing plate which includes fixing part-cable through-holes, through which the cables pass, and a holding fastening portion; and a sub assembly which includes movable part-cable through-holes, through which the cables pass, and has one surface supported by the fixing plate. The sub assembly includes: a shield plate which is in contact with shield portions of each of the cables and has the outer circumference in contact with a shield part of the unit; and a shield plate-fixing plate having one surface that fixes the shield plate. Therefore, the shield connector makes it possible to directly install the cable in the unit without the need for the separate male and female connectors.

Claims (16)

1. A shield connector for supporting cables ( 10 , 20 ) such that terminals ( 12 , 21 ) of the cables ( 10 , 20 ) are directly connected to a terminal coupling portion inside a unit, the shield connector comprising:

a fixing plate ( 100 ) which comprises fixing part-cable through-holes ( 111 , 112 ), through which the cables ( 10 , 20 ) pass, and a holding fastening portion ( 113 ); and

a sub assembly ( 200 ) which comprises movable part-cable through-holes, through which the cables ( 10 , 20 ) pass, and has one surface supported by the fixing plate ( 100 ),

wherein the sub assembly ( 200 ) comprises:

a shield plate ( 210 ) comprising a body plate ( 219 ), a high-voltage cable through-hole ( 217 ) formed to penetrate the body plate ( 219 ), and an elastic contact portion ( 216 ) formed on the inner circumferential surface of the high-voltage cable through-hole ( 217 );

a shield plate-fixing plate ( 220 ) having one surface that fixes the shield plate ( 210 ); and

an inner seal ( 230 ) which is fixed to other surface of the shield plate-fixing plate ( 220 ) and seals a contact surface with the unit.

2. The shield connector of claim 1 , further comprising an outer seal ( 300 ) which is positioned between the sub assembly ( 200 ) and the fixing plate ( 100 ) and seals a contact surface with the unit.

3. The shield connector of claim 1 , wherein the shield plate ( 210 ) comprises:

a side surface-fixing plate ( 211 ) which surrounds a side surface of the shield plate-fixing plate ( 220 ) and is fixed to the shield plate-fixing plate ( 220 ); and

a unit-elastic contact portion ( 212 ) having a spring shape that protrudes from the side surface-fixing plate ( 211 ).

4. The shield connector of claim 3 , wherein a locking groove ( 221 ) is recessed from the side surface of the shield plate-fixing plate ( 220 ), and

the side surface-fixing plate ( 211 ) further comprises a locking lance ( 213 ) inserted into the locking groove ( 221 ).

5. The shield connector of claim 1 , wherein the sub assembly ( 200 ) further comprises:

a seal holding protrusion ( 222 ) protruding from the other surface of the shield plate-fixing plate ( 220 ); and

a seal fastening groove ( 231 ) which passes through the inner seal ( 230 ) so that the seal holding protrusion ( 222 ) is inserted therein.
