Abstract

Herein disclosed is a shielded connector that makes it possible to bring a shielded shell into reliable contact with a shielded shell cover while pursing further miniaturization. A shielded connector 11 includes a shielded shell 19 having a barrel 55 for fixing a sheath 33 of a shielded electric wire 27 and a rectangular cylindrical shield 47 having an opening 51 in an upper surface 49 of the shell; and a shielded shell cover 21 that has a pair of mutually opposed insertion laps 57 to cover the opening 51 and that assumes a substantially C-shaped cross sectional profile. When the pair of insertion laps 57 are inserted inside the shielded shell 19 in order to cover the opening 51, protuberances 61 provided on the pair of insertion laps 57 press side plate interior surfaces of the shielded shell 19.

Claims

1. A shielded connector including:

a shielded shell having an electric wire fixing section for fixing a sheath of a shielded electric wire and a rectangular cylindrical shield having an opening in an upper surface of the shell; and

a shielded shell cover that has a pair of mutually opposed insertion laps to cover the opening and that assumes a substantially C-shaped cross sectional profile, wherein

when the pair of insertion laps are inserted inside the shielded shell in order to cover the opening, protuberances provided on the pair of insertion laps press side plate interior surfaces of the shielded shell, and

wherein contacts that oppose the respective protuberances are provided in a projecting manner on the respective side plate interior surfaces of the shielded shell.

2. A shielded connector including:

a shielded shell having an electric wire fixing section for fixing a sheath of a shielded electric wire and a rectangular cylindrical shield having an opening in an upper surface of the shell; and

a shielded shell cover that has a pair of mutually opposed insertion laps to cover the opening and that assumes a substantially C-shaped cross sectional profile, wherein

when the pair of insertion laps are inserted inside the shielded shell in order to cover the opening, protuberances provided on the pair of insertion laps press side plate interior surfaces of the shielded shell,

wherein the protuberances are longitudinal groove-like protuberances projectingly provided along a direction of insertion of the shielded connector, and

wherein contacts that oppose the respective protuberances are provided in a projecting manner on the respective side plate interior surfaces of the shielded shell.
