Abstract

A connector includes: an electrical connection part to be electrically connected to a counterpart terminal and an electric wire connection part to be electrically connected to a terminal of an electric wire; a housing body that is insulative, houses the electrical connection part in an inward housing space and causes the electric wire connection part to project outward; a first shielding member that is conductive and includes a main shield body that covers the housing body from the outside, and a sub-shield body having a tubular shape that covers the electric wire connection part and the terminal of the electric wire We from the outside for each terminal metal fitting; and a second shielding member having a tubular shape, electrical conductivity, and elasticity that covers, from the outside, an end part on an opening side of the sub-shield body together with the electric wire pulled out from the opening.

Claims (34)

1. A connector comprising:

a terminal metal fitting that includes an electrical connection part to be electrically connected to a counterpart terminal of a counterpart connector and an electric wire connection part to be electrically connected to a terminal of an electric wire;

a housing body that is insulative, houses the electrical connection part in an inward housing space, and causes the electric wire connection part to project outward;

a first shielding member that is conductive and includes a main shield body that covers the housing body from the outside, a sub-shield body having a tubular shape that covers the electric wire connection part and the terminal of the electric wire from the outside for each terminal metal fitting, and a second sub-shield body; and

a second shielding member and another second shielding member each having a tubular shape, electrical conductivity, and elasticity and the second shielding member covers, from the outside, an end part on an opening side of the sub-shield body together with the electric wire pulled out from the opening,

wherein the second shielding member and the another second shielding member are connected to ones of the sub-shield body and the second sub-shield body.

2. The connector according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a binding member that is wound around the second shielding member and the end part on the opening side of the sub-shield body over the second shielding member to fix the second shielding member to the end part on the opening side of the sub-shield body, wherein

the sub-shield body includes a locking body that projects from an outer peripheral surface of the end part on the opening side, and

the binding member having an annular shape after winding is arranged to be opposed to an end face on the main shield body side of the locking body in a tube axis direction of the sub-shield body.

3. The connector according to claim 2 , further comprising:

a holding member that prevents, on the electric wire side, the terminal metal fitting from falling out from the housing body, wherein

the holding member has a cylindrical outer peripheral wall to which the end part on the opening side of the sub-shield body having a cylindrical shape is fitted, and is formed to be able to pull out, to the outside, the electric wire routed in a housing space inside the sub-shield body,

the outer peripheral wall includes a gap into which the locking body is inserted in a state in which the holding member is engaged with the end part on the opening side of the sub-shield body, and

the locking body and the gap are formed and arranged to be able to prevent relative rotation in a circumferential direction of the sub-shield body and the holding member.

4. An electric wire with a connector comprising:

an electric wire;

a terminal metal fitting that includes an electrical connection part to be electrically connected to a counterpart terminal of a counterpart connector and an electric wire connection part to be electrically connected to a terminal of the electric wire;

a housing body that is insulative, houses the electrical connection part in an inward housing space, and causes the electric wire connection part to project outward;

a first shielding member that is conductive and includes a main shield body that covers the housing body from the outside, a sub-shield body having a tubular shape that covers the electric wire connection part and the terminal of the electric wire from the outside for each terminal metal fitting, and a second sub-shield body; and

a second shielding member and another second shielding member each having a tubular shape, electrical conductivity, and elasticity and the second shielding member covers, from the outside, an end part on an opening side of the sub-shield body together with the electric wire pulled out from the opening

wherein the second shielding, member and the another second shielding member are connected to ones of the sub-shield body and the second sub-shield body.

5. A connector comprising:

a terminal metal fitting that includes an electrical connection part to be electrically connected to a counterpart terminal of a counterpart connector and an electric wire connection part to be electrically connected to a terminal of an electric wire;

a housing body that is insulative, houses the electrical connection part in an inward housing space, and causes the electric wire connection part to project outward;

a first shielding member that is conductive and includes a main shield body that covers the housing body from the outside, and a sub-shield body having a tubular shape that covers the electric wire connection part and the terminal of the electric wire from the outside for each terminal metal fitting;

a second shielding member having a tubular shape, electrical conductivity, and elasticity that covers, from the outside, an end part on an opening side of the sub-shield body together with the electric wire pulled out from the opening;

a binding member that is wound around the second shielding member and the end part on the opening side of the sub-shield body over the second shielding member to fix the second shielding member to the end part on the opening side of the sub-shield body; and

a holding member that prevents, on the electric wire side, the terminal metal fitting from falling out from the housing body,

wherein the sub-shield body includes a locking body that projects from an outer peripheral surface of the end part on the opening side, and

wherein the binding member having an annular shape after winding is arranged to be opposed to an end face on the main shield body side of the locking body in a tube axis direction of the sub-shield body,

wherein the holding member has a cylindrical outer peripheral wall to which the end part on the opening side of the sub-shield body having a cylindrical shape is fitted, and is formed to be able to pull out, to the outside, the electric wire routed in a housing space inside the sub-shield body,

wherein the outer peripheral wall includes a gap into which the locking body is inserted in a state in which the holding member is engaged with the end part on the opening side of the sub-shield body, and

wherein the locking body and the gap are formed and arranged to be able to prevent relative rotation in a circumferential direction of the sub-shield body and the holding member.
