Abstract

A shield connector is provided with an inner conductor, a dielectric for accommodating the inner conductor, and an outer conductor for surrounding the dielectric. The dielectric includes a stopper portion for stopping a movement of the dielectric along a wall surface of the outer conductor by abutting on the outer conductor. A displacement of the dielectric with respect to the outer conductor can be prevented by the abutment of the stopper portion on the outer conductor.

Claims (17)

1 . A shield connector, comprising:

an inner conductor to be connected to a cable;

a dielectric for accommodating the inner conductor; and

an outer conductor for surrounding the dielectric,

wherein the dielectric includes a stopper portion for stopping a movement of the dielectric along a wall surface of the outer conductor by abutting on the outer conductor,

the outer conductor includes a first outer conductor and a second outer conductor assembled with each other,

the first outer conductor includes a tubular outer conductor body portion open forward and rearward, the outer conductor body portion including a stopper receiving portion on a rear end,

the second outer conductor includes a covering portion to be arranged on a rear part of the outer conductor body portion of the first outer conductor and a crimping portion projecting rearward from a rear end of the covering portion, and

the stopper portion projects from a rear end of the dielectric into a space in the covering portion of the second outer conductor to abut on a rear end of the stopper receiving portion of the first outer conductor such that the stopper portion is between the covering portion and the cable.

2 . The shield connector according to claim 1 , wherein:

the dielectric includes a supporting member for positioning the inner conductor and a cover member to be attached to the supporting member, and

the stopper portion is provided on the supporting member.

3 . The shield connector according to claim 1 , wherein:

a rear part including the rear end, out of the outer conductor body portion, is thicker than a front part including a front end.

4 . The shield connector according to claim 1 , wherein:

the inner conductor is to be connected to an internal conductor of the cable, the cable including a first portion in which the internal conductor is surrounded by an insulation coating and a second portion in which the internal conductor is exposed from the insulation coating, and

the stopper portion overlaps the first portion of the cable in a plan view.
