Abstract

A shielded connector includes an inner housing to which terminals connected to a shielded electric wire is attached, a shield shell that includes a shield part and a barrel part, and a shield shell cover that covers a shielded wire exposure part of the shielded electric wire. The shield shell cover has a pair of insertion lap parts which are inserted between two side surfaces of the inner housing and two side surfaces of the shield part. A backlash preventing unit is provided on a top surface and a bottom surface of the inner housing and parts of the shield part which opposite to the top surface and the bottom surface of the inner housing so as to prevent a shaking between the inner housing and the shield shell.

Claims

1. A shielded connector comprising:

an inner housing configured to receive attachment of terminals connected to a shielded electric wire, the inner housing including a first side surface and a second side surface;

a shield shell including a shield part configured to cover the inner housing and a barrel part configured to fix a sheath part of the shielded electric wire, the shield part including a first side surface configured to oppose the first side surface of the inner housing and a second side surface configured to oppose the second side surface of the inner housing; and

a shield shell cover configured to cover a shielded wire exposure part of the shielded electric wire fixed to the shield shell, and including a first insertion lap part and a second insertion lap part, the inner housing, the shield shell and the shield shell cover configured to be assembled together,

wherein, when the inner housing, the shield shell and the shield shell cover are assembled, the first insertion lap part is disposed between the first side surface of the inner housing and the first side surface of the shield part in a first direction orthogonal to the first side surface of the shield part, and the second insertion lap part is disposed between the second side surface of the inner housing and the second side surface of the shield part in a second direction orthogonal to the second side surface of the shield part,

wherein a backlash preventing unit is formed by a first part disposed on a top surface of the inner housing, a second part disposed on a bottom surface of the inner housing, a third part disposed on a portion of the shield part opposite to the top surface of the inner housing and a fourth part disposed on a portion of the shield part opposite to the bottom surface of the inner housing, the backlash preventing unit configured to prevent a shaking between the inner housing and the shield shell, and

wherein the first part of the backlash preventing unit includes a retaining projection provided on the top surface of the inner housing, and wherein the third part includes a retaining recess formed at an edge of the shield part and configured to hold the retaining projection in the widthwise direction of the retaining recess.

2. The shielded connector according to claim 1, wherein the second part of the backlash preventing unit includes a projection formed on a bottom surface of the inner housing and the fourth part of the backlash preventing unit includes an opening formed in the portion of the shield part opposite to the bottom surface of the inner housing, the opening configured to receive the projection.
