Abstract

A first shield connector (20) includes a first housing 21 made of resin, wires (40), a shield member (50) to be mounted on the wires (40), and two brackets (61, 62) including a plate-like first shield member connecting portion (64) to be crimped to a peripheral edge of the shield member (50) and case connecting portions (65) to be connected to a case of a motor. The case connecting portions (65) are arranged at sides of the shield member connecting portions (64) arranged to face each other and bolt-fastened to the case in an overlapping state. The case connecting portions (65) are formed with a stopper (66) including a hole (66A). The first housing (21) is formed with retaining projections (23) to be inserted through the holes (66A). The brackets (61, 62) are held on the first housing (21) by inserting the retaining projections (23) through the holes (66A).

Claims

1. A shield connector (20) to be mounted on a case of a device, comprising:

a housing (21) made of resin;

a wire (40) drawn out from the housing (21);

a shield member (50) made of electrically conductive metal and to be mounted on the wire (40) to shield the wire (40); and

two brackets (61, 62) each including a plate-like shield member connecting portion (64) to be crimped to a peripheral edge part of the shield member (50) and a case connecting portion (65) to be connected to the case of the device,

wherein a pair of the case connecting portions (65) are arranged at sides of a pair of the shield member connecting portions (64) arranged to face each other and bolt-fastened to the case in an overlapping state, the case connecting portion (65) is formed with a stopper (66) including a hole (66A), the housing (21) is formed with retaining projections (23) to be inserted through the holes (66A), and the pair of brackets (61, 62) are held on the housing by inserting the retaining projections (23) through the holes (66A).

2. The shield connector (20) of claim 1, wherein a holding projection is formed on either one of the case connecting portions (65) and the pair of case connecting portions (65) are held in the overlapping state by hooking the holding projection to a peripheral edge of the other case connecting portion (65).

3. The shield connector (20) of claim 2, wherein the stoppers (66) bulge out toward the housing (21) from peripheral edges of the case connecting portions (65).

4. The shield connector (20) of claim 1, wherein one shield member connecting portion (64) is formed with a mounting projection (64A, 64B) projecting toward the other shield member connecting portion (64) and the housing (21) is formed with a mounting hole (24A, 24B) into which the mounting projection (64A, 64B) is to be inserted.

5. The shield connector (20) of claim 4, wherein the mounting projection (64A, 64B) is formed on each of the pair of shield member connecting portions (64) and a pair of the mounting holes (24A, 24B) into which the mounting projections (64A, 64B) are to be inserted communicate with each other.
