Abstract

It is aimed to improve assembling workability and the reliability of a shielding function. A shield terminal includes inner conductors ( 52 ) to be connected to front end parts of cores ( 62 ) of a shielded cable ( 60 ), a dielectric ( 46 ) configured to accommodate the inner conductors ( 52 ), a tubular member ( 12 ) constituting an outer conductor ( 10 ) and configured to surround and hold the dielectric ( 46 ), a lower member ( 18 ) separate from the tubular member ( 12 ), constituting the outer conductor ( 10 ) and including a crimping portion ( 32 ) connectable to a shield layer ( 65 ) of the shielded cable ( 60 ), a first hooking portion ( 22 ) formed on a front end part of the lower member ( 18 ) and lockable to a rear end edge part of the tubular member ( 12 ), and a first guide means ( 28 ) configured to guide the lower member ( 18 ) to a proper assembly position while allowing the lower member ( 18 ) to swing with the first hooking portion ( 22 ) as a fulcrum.

Claims (15)

1. A shield terminal, comprising:

an inner conductor to be connected to a front part of a core of a shielded cable;

a dielectric configured to accommodate the inner conductor;

a tubular member constituting an outer conductor, the tubular member surrounding and holding the dielectric;

a connecting member separate from the tubular member and constituting the outer conductor, the connecting member including a crimping portion connectable to a shield layer of the shielded cable;

a hook formed on a front end part of the connecting member, the hook being lockable to a rear edge of the tubular member; and

a guide means configured to guide the connecting member to a proper assembly position while allowing the connecting member to swing with the hook as a support;

wherein:

the guide means includes:

left and right guide pins formed on both left and right outer side surfaces of the dielectric; and

left and right guide grooves formed in left and right inner plate parts constituting the connecting member, the guide pins sliding in contact with the guide grooves; and

the guide grooves are formed by being cut obliquely rearward from front end edges of the inner plate parts.

2. The shield terminal of claim 1 , wherein:

the crimping portion is crimped to an outer periphery of the shield layer; and

the hook is locked to an inner peripheral edge part of the tubular member.
