Abstract

A shield connector (10) includes terminals (50) arranged side by side in a width direction. A shield shell (70) collectively surrounds the terminals (50) on an outer peripheral side, and a dielectric (40) interposed between the respective terminals (50) and the shield shell (70). The shield shell (70) includes a back wall (74) serving as a cover for covering an exposed surface of each terminal (50) from the dielectric (40). The back wall (74) includes bottomed recesses (88) at positions facing areas, across which the respective terminals (50) are adjacent in the width direction, on an outer surface (87) on a side opposite to an inner surface (86) facing the respective terminals (50).

Claims

1. A shield connector (10), comprising:

terminals (50) arranged side by side in a width direction;

a shield shell (70) for collectively surrounding the respective terminals (50) on an outer peripheral side; and

a dielectric (40) interposed between the respective terminals (50) and the shield shell (70);

the shield shell (70) including a cover (74) for covering an exposed surface of each terminal (50) from the dielectric (40); and

the cover (74) including a bottomed recess or projection at a position facing an area, across which the respective terminals (50) are adjacent in the width direction, on an outer surface on a side opposite to an inner surface facing the respective terminals. (50)

2. The shield connector of claim 1, wherein end parts of the respective terminals (50) are exposed side by side in the width direction from an end edge of the cover (74), and one end of the bottomed recess (88) or projection reaches the end edge of the cover (74).

3. The shield connector of claim 1, wherein a plurality of the bottomed recesses (88) or projections are arranged side by side in the width direction.

4. The shield connector of claim 1, wherein the cover (74) includes the bottomed recess (88) at the position facing the area, across which the respective terminals (50) are adjacent in the width direction, on the outer surface on the side opposite to the inner surface facing the respective terminals (50).
