Connector
A connector is provided with a shield terminal to be connected to a cable configured such that an outer periphery of a wire is surrounded by a shield body, a plurality of terminals, a housing for accommodating the shield terminal and the plurality of terminals, a retainer held on the housing movably between a temporary locking position and a complete locking position in an arrangement direction of the plurality of terminals and configured to retain the plurality of terminals at the complete locking position, and a detecting member held on the housing movably between an initial position and a detection position in an inserting/withdrawing direction of the shield terminal and configured to move to the detection position by the shield terminal being accommodated to a proper position inside the housing.
1 . A connector, comprising:
a shield terminal to be connected to a cable configured such that an outer periphery of a wire is surrounded by a shield body;
a plurality of terminals;
a housing for accommodating the shield terminal and the plurality of terminals;
a retainer held on the housing movably between a temporary locking position and a complete locking position in an arrangement direction of the plurality of terminals, the retainer retaining the plurality of terminals inside the housing by moving to the complete locking position; and
a detecting member held on the housing movably between an initial position and a detection position in an inserting/withdrawing direction of the shield terminal, the detecting member moving to the detection position by the shield terminal being accommodated to a proper position inside the housing,
the shield terminal including an inner conductor, a dielectric for accommodating the inner conductor and a tubular outer conductor for covering an outer periphery of the dielectric and to be electrically connected to the shield body,
the retainer being disabled to move to the complete locking position by interfering with the detecting member when the detecting member is not at the detection position, and
the retainer being movable to the complete locking position when the detecting member is at the detection position.
2 . The connector according to claim 1 , comprising a tubular conductive rubber member for electrically connecting the outer conductor and the shield body, wherein:
a terminal module is configured to include the conductive rubber member, the cable, the inner conductor and the dielectric, and
the detecting member moves from the initial position to the detection position by contacting the terminal module when the terminal module is inserted into the outer conductor accommodated in the housing.
3 . The connector according to claim 1 , wherein:
the detecting member includes an engaging portion, and
the retainer includes an engaged portion to be engaged with the engaging portion by the retainer moving to the complete locking position when the detecting member is at the detection position.
