Abstract

A connector includes a housing that allows a terminal lead-out and an electric wire lead-out to be drawn outward in a direction orthogonal to a connector insertion/removal direction, a shield shell, and a male screw member that secures the shield shell to a fixture base in a state where the connector mating is completed when the connector insertion/removal direction is defined as a screw axis, in which the shield shell includes a first shell and a second shell each of which having a through hole respectively that allows insertion of the male screw member and configured to sandwich the housing in the connector insertion/removal direction, and includes a first pressing plate and a second pressing plate that grip the terminal lead-out in the connector insertion/removal direction in the state where the connector mating is completed.

Claims (24)

1. A connector comprising:

a conductive connection terminal including a terminal connecting portion that is inserted into or removed from a counterpart connection terminal in a connector insertion/removal direction with respect to a counterpart connector and including an electric wire connecting portion that is physically and electrically connected to an end of an electric wire;

a conductive cylindrical shield terminal that covers the end of the electric wire coaxially from an outer peripheral surface side and configured to be physically and electrically connected to a shield member of the electric wire;

an insulating cylindrical waterproof member coaxially interposed between the shield terminal and the end of the electric wire;

an insulating housing including a first container that houses the connection terminal and including a second container that houses the shield terminal and the end of the electric wire aligned along an axis in a direction orthogonal to the connector insertion/removal direction and that is configured to allow a terminal lead-out of the shield terminal and an electric wire lead-out of the end of the electric wire to be drawn outward in the orthogonal direction;

a conductive shield shell that houses the housing, the terminal lead-out, and the wire lead-out; and

a male screw member that secures the shield shell to a fixture base on the counterpart connector side in a state where the connector mating with the counterpart connector is completed when the connector insertion/removal direction is defined as a screw axis, wherein

the shield shell includes a first shell and a second shell each of which having a through hole respectively that allows insertion of the male screw member and configured to sandwich the housing in the connector insertion/removal direction, and includes a first pressing plate and a second pressing plate that grip the terminal lead-out in the connector insertion/removal direction in the state where the connector mating is completed.

2. The connector according to claim 1 , wherein

at least one of the first pressing plate and the second pressing plate includes a pressing portion projecting toward an outer peripheral surface of the terminal lead-out so as to apply a pressing force onto the outer peripheral surface of the terminal lead-out in a state where the connector mating is completed.

3. The connector according to claim 1 , wherein

the first pressing plate is formed integrally with the first shell as a part of the first shell, and

the second pressing plate is formed integrally with the second shell as a part of the second shell.

4. The connector according to claim 2 , wherein

the first pressing plate is formed integrally with the first shell as a part of the first shell, and

the second pressing plate is formed integrally with the second shell as a part of the second shell.

5. The connector according to claim 1 , wherein

the first pressing plate is formed as a component separate from the first shell,

the second pressing plate is formed as a component separate from the second shell, and

the first shell and the second shell are configured to allow the first pressing plate and the second pressing plate to be gripped in the connector insertion/removal direction in a state where the connector mating is completed.

6. The connector according to claim 2 , wherein

the first pressing plate is formed as a component separate from the first shell,

the second pressing plate is formed as a component separate from the second shell, and

the first shell and the second shell are configured to allow the first pressing plate and the second pressing plate to be gripped in the connector insertion/removal direction in a state where the connector mating is completed.
