Abstract

There is provided a method of manufacturing a shielded connector which includes: a terminal-attached wire; a housing containing the terminal of the terminal-attached wire; a shielded shell integrated to the housing; a knitted conductor mounted to the wire; and a shield ring interposing the knitted conductor between the shield ring and the shielded shell so that the knitted conductor is electrically connected to the shielded shell. The method includes: inserting, into the shielded shell, a single core having a stepped portion formed in a opposed drawing direction; bringing a contact portion formed at the shielded shell into contact with the core; covering the shield ring on the shielded shell via the knitted conductor; and calking the shield ring, the knitted conductor, and the shielded shell from outer side of the shield ring to form, on the shielded shell, a calk-deformed portion contained into the stepped portion of the core.

Claims

1. A method of manufacturing a shielded connector which includes:

a terminal-attached wire in which a terminal is connected to an end portion of a wire;

a housing containing the terminal of the terminal-attached wire;

a shielded shell integrated to the housing;

a knitted conductor outwardly mounted to the wire; and

a shield ring interposing the knitted conductor between the shield ring and the shielded shell so that the knitted conductor is electrically connected to the shielded shell,

the method comprising;

inserting, into the shielded shell, a single core having a stepped portion which is formed on a side opposed to a drawing direction of the core;

bringing a core contact portion formed at the shielded shell into contact with a peripheral face of the core;

covering the shield ring on the shielded shell by way of the knitted conductor; and

calking the shield ring, the knitted conductor, and the shielded shell from an outer side of the shield ring so as to form, on the shielded shell, a calk-deformed portion which is contained into the stepped portion of the core.
