[0024] Referring to FIG. 1, a connector harness 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention is used, for example, to electrically connect two devices in an electric vehicle. More specifically, the connector harness 10 can be mated with an object 80 along a mating direction. The object 80 in this embodiment is a mating connector. In a mated state in which the connector harness 10 and the object 80 are mated with each other, a device (not shown) connected to the connector harness 10 is electrically connected to a mating device (not shown) on which the object 80 is mounted. However, the use of the connector harness 10 of the present invention is not particularly limited. For example, the object 80 is not limited to a mating connector.

[0025] The mating direction in this embodiment is the up-down direction, which is the Z direction. In this embodiment, "upward" is the +Z direction, and "downward" is the -Z direction. In both this embodiment and the modified example, terms such as up-down and down-directions do not indicate an absolute positional relationship with respect to the ground, but merely indicate a relative positional relationship when it is defined that the object 80 is located above the connector harness 10.

[0026] As described above, the mating direction in this embodiment coincides with the vertical direction. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the mating direction may be oblique to the vertical direction to some extent. Furthermore, the mating direction may be a horizontal direction (Y direction) that is perpendicular to the vertical direction, as in a modified example described later.

[0027] Referring to FIG. 1 together with FIG. 2, FIG. 3, and FIG. 6, the connector harness 10 of this embodiment includes a molded body 11, a back shell 12, and an external housing 18 made of an insulator. The back shell 12 covers the molded body 11. The external housing 18 is molded from resin so as to embed the entire back shell 12 inside. That is, the external housing 18 covers the molded body 11 and the back shell 12. The connector harness 10 of this embodiment includes the above-mentioned members. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the external housing 18 may be provided as necessary. Meanwhile, the connector harness 10 may further include other members in addition to the above-mentioned members.

[0028] The molded body 11 of this embodiment will be described below.

[0029] 8, molded body 11 of the present embodiment includes cable 50, base substrate 20, locator 38 made of an insulator, connector 30, and resin part 40 made of an insulator. Connector harness 10 of the present embodiment includes the above-mentioned members. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, molded body 11 may further include other members in addition to the above-mentioned members.

[0030] 4 and 10, cable 50 in this embodiment has a connection end 58. Connection end 58 is a front end of cable 50 in a front-rear direction perpendicular to both the up-down direction and the lateral direction, and extends along the front-rear direction. The front-rear direction in this embodiment is the X direction. In this embodiment, "forward" is the +X direction, and "rearward" is the -X direction.

[0031] The cable 50 of this embodiment includes a plurality of electric wires 52, a shielding layer 54 made of a conductor, and an outer sheath 56 made of an insulator. Each of the electric wires 52 includes a core wire made of a conductor and a sheath made of an insulator that covers the core wire. The shielding layer 54 covers the electric wires 52. The outer sheath 56 covers the shielding layer 54. The cable 50 of this embodiment has the above-mentioned structure. However, the structure of the cable 50 of the present invention is not particularly limited. For example, the number of electric wires 52 may be one.

[0032] 10 together with FIG. 9, the base substrate 20 of this embodiment is a circuit board, and has a rectangular flat plate shape perpendicular to the fitting direction (Z direction). The base substrate 20 has a predetermined surface 22 and an opposite surface 24. The predetermined surface 22 and the opposite surface 24 each function as a main surface of the base substrate 20. More specifically, a conductive pattern such as a plurality of conductive pads 26 made of a conductor is formed on each of the predetermined surface 22 and the opposite surface 24.

[0033] The base substrate 20 of this embodiment is disposed parallel to a horizontal plane (XY plane) perpendicular to the up-down direction. That is, in this embodiment, the predetermined surface 22 is the upper surface of the base substrate 20, and the opposite surface 24 is the lower surface of the base substrate 20. The predetermined surface 22 of this embodiment has two predetermined edges 28. The predetermined edges 28 of this embodiment are both edges of the predetermined surface 22 in the lateral direction. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the base substrate 20 may be oblique to the XY plane to some extent.

[0034] The electric wires 52 of the cable 50 are exposed from the outer sheath 56 at the front end of the connection end 58. At the front end of each of the electric wires 52, the core wire is exposed from the sheath and soldered to the conductive pad 26 of the base substrate 20. That is, the connection end 58 is connected to the base substrate 20. More specifically, the connection end 58 is connected to the rear end of the base substrate 20. According to this embodiment, the core wire of the electric wire 52 is connected to the conductive pads 26 of the predetermined surface 22 and the opposite surface 24, respectively. In other words, the predetermined surface 22 and the opposite surface 24 are each connected to the connection end 58. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, only the predetermined surface 22 may be connected to the connection end 58. That is, the predetermined surface 22 may be connected to the cable 50.

[0035] According to the present embodiment, the electric wires 52 are positioned by the locator 38 attached to the base substrate 20. That is, the locator 38 positions the electric wires 52 while connecting them to the base substrate 20. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, when the number of electric wires 52 is small, the electric wires 52 may be connected to the base substrate 20 without using a positioning member such as the locator 38. That is, the locator 38 may be provided as necessary.

[0036] Referring to FIG. 5 together with FIG. 10, a connector 30 of this embodiment includes a holding member 32 made of an insulator, 24 terminals 34 made of a conductor, and a base shell 36 made of metal.

[0037] 10, the connector 30 is connected to the base substrate 20. More specifically, the terminals 34 of the connector 30 are fixed and connected to the conductive pads 26 of the base substrate 20 by soldering. The terminals 34 connected in this manner are electrically connected to the electric wires 52 of the cable 50. Furthermore, the base shell 36 of the connector 30 is fixed to the conductive pads 26 of the base substrate 20 by soldering and is grounded.

[0038] The connector 30 extends from the base substrate 20 along a mating direction (Z direction). The mating direction in this embodiment is perpendicular to the front-rear direction in which the connection end 58 of the cable 50 extends. That is, the connector harness 10 has an L-shape. In other words, the connector harness 10 is a so-called angle-type connector harness 10. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the mating direction may be oblique to the front-rear direction within a range in which the connector harness 10 can be said to have an L-shape. That is, the mating direction only needs to intersect with the direction in which the connection end 58 of the cable 50 extends.

[0039] 5, the holding member 32 of the connector 30 has a flat plate shape perpendicular to the front-rear direction. Twelve of the terminals 34 of the connector 30 are held on the front surface of the holding member 32 and are aligned laterally. The remaining twelve of the terminals 34 are held on the rear surface of the holding member 32 and are aligned laterally. The terminals 34 are arranged 180° rotationally symmetric about an imaginary axis extending parallel to the mating direction (Z direction). The base shell 36 of the connector 30 has a track shape in an orthogonal plane (XY plane) perpendicular to the mating direction, and covers the holding member 32 and the terminals 34 in the XY plane.

[0040] As can be understood from the above-described structure, the connector 30 of this embodiment is a plug conforming to the USB (Universal Serial Bus) Type-C standard. The connector 30 of this embodiment is arranged so that the horizontal direction is the longitudinal direction. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the connector 30 may be a plug that does not conform to the USB standard, or may be a receptacle conforming to the USB standard. The connector 30 may be arranged so that the front-rear direction is the longitudinal direction, as in a modified example described later.

[0041] 10, the shape of the fixed portion 362 of the base shell 36 of the connector 30 of this embodiment, which is fixed to the base substrate 20, is different from the shape of other portions of the base shell 36. More specifically, the fixed portion 362 has a size larger than the other portions of the base shell 36 in the XY plane. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the shape of the base shell 36 can be modified as necessary.

[0042] In this embodiment, the front ends of the electric wires 52 of the cable 50, the base substrate 20, the locator 38, and the connector 30 are fixed to each other to form a structure. Referring to Fig. 4 together with Fig. 10, the resin part 40 in this embodiment is molded from resin so as to embed and fix this structure therein, thereby forming the molded body 11. The resin part 40 is covered by the back shell 12, and also covers the base substrate 20. According to this embodiment, the resin part 40 is completely covered by the back shell 12.

[0043] 8 and 9, the molded body 11 formed as described above has a first abutment portion 42 and a second abutment portion 44. The first abutment portion 42 and the second abutment portion 44 are located on opposite sides of the molded body 11 in a predetermined direction. The predetermined direction in this embodiment is the up-down direction, which coincides with the fitting direction. That is, in this embodiment, the first abutment portion 42 is the upper surface of the molded body 11, and the second abutment portion 44 is the lower surface of the molded body 11. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the predetermined direction may be perpendicular to the fitting direction, as in a modified example described later.

[0044] The base substrate 20 of this embodiment is completely embedded inside the resin part 40, except for a part of the predetermined surface 22 and a part of the opposite surface 24. That is, the base substrate 20 is positioned at a predetermined position inside the resin part 40. Similarly, the locator 38 of this embodiment is completely embedded inside the resin part 40, except for both end faces in the up-down direction. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, each of the base substrate 20 and the locator 38 may be completely embedded inside the resin part 40.

[0045] In the present embodiment, the locator 38 is partially exposed to the outside of the molded body 11 at each of the first abutment portion 42 and the second abutment portion 44. That is, in the present embodiment, the first abutment portion 42 is made up of the upper surface of the resin portion 40 and the upper surface of the locator 38, and the second abutment portion 44 is made up of the lower surface of the resin portion 40 and the lower surface of the locator 38. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the first abutment portion 42 may be formed only from the upper surface of the resin portion 40, and the second abutment portion 44 may be formed only from the lower surface of the resin portion 40. The locator 38 may be at least partially exposed to the outside of the molded body 11 at least in one of the first abutment portion 42 and the second abutment portion 44.

[0046] The resin part 40 of this embodiment has a recess 48 formed therein. The recess 48 of this embodiment is located at the front end of the resin part 40. That is, the connector 30 is located between the recess 48 and the cable 50 in the front-rear direction. The recess 48 is recessed rearward from the front end of the resin part 40. More specifically, the recess 48 includes a predetermined recess 482 and an opposite recess 484. The predetermined recess 482 and the opposite recess 484 each have a semi-cylindrical shape. The predetermined recess 482 is connected to the front end of the predetermined surface 22 of the base substrate 20 and opens upward and backward. The opposite recess 484 is connected to the front end of the opposite surface 24 of the base substrate 20 and opens downward and backward. That is, the recess 48 is connected to each of the predetermined surface 22 and the opposite surface 24 of the base substrate 20.

[0047] The recess 48 in this embodiment is a mark left by removing two pins (not shown) from upper and lower dies (not shown) used when molding the resin part 40. These two pins sandwich and position the base substrate 20 from above and below when molding the resin part 40. Therefore, the size of each of the predetermined recess 482 and the opposite recess 484 in the XY plane is constant regardless of the position in the vertical direction, or increases with increasing distance from the base substrate 20 in the vertical direction.

[0048] The recess 48 of the present embodiment has the above-mentioned structure. By holding the front end of the base substrate 20 with two pins (not shown), the base substrate 20 can be reliably positioned without affecting the conductive pattern (not shown). However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, when the base substrate 20 hardly moves even if it receives a force from the resin when molding the resin part 40, only the cable 50 and the connector 30 may be held by a mold (not shown). Also, one pin may be pressed against the base substrate 20 from below while holding the cable 50 and the connector 30 by a mold. The resin part 40 may be molded while holding the cable 50, the connector 30, and the base substrate 20 by two molds in the horizontal direction. That is, the base substrate 20 may be held by the pin as needed. In other words, the recess 48 may be formed as needed. Also, the position, number, and shape of the recess 48 are not particularly limited.

[0049] The back shell 12 (see FIG. 2) of this embodiment will be described below.

[0050] As shown in FIG. 2, the back shell 12 of the present embodiment includes a first back shell 60 and a second back shell 70.

[0051] 2 together with FIGS. 11 and 12, the first back shell 60 of this embodiment is made of a single metal plate and has a first main body portion 62 and a first extension portion 68. The first main body portion 62 has a rectangular box shape that opens toward the second back shell 70 in a predetermined direction (vertical direction). The first extension portion 68 has a semi-cylindrical shape that opens toward the second back shell 70 in a predetermined direction. The first extension portion 68 extends rearward from the rear end of the first main body portion 62. The first main body portion 62 and the first extension portion 68 are connected to each other without any gap.

[0052] As shown in FIG. 11 and FIG. 12, the first back shell 60 of the present embodiment has a first main plate 63 and a first peripheral plate 64. Each of the first main plate 63 and the first peripheral plate 64 is a part of the first main body portion 62. The first main plate 63 has a rectangular flat plate shape perpendicular to a predetermined direction (Z direction). The first peripheral plate 64 extends from the first main plate 63 along a predetermined direction. In detail, the first peripheral plate 64 extends from three connected edges of the first main plate 63 in the XY plane perpendicular to the predetermined direction toward the second back shell 70 along the predetermined direction. The three portions of the first peripheral plate 64 extending from the three edges are connected to each other without any gaps in the XY plane. In addition, the first peripheral plate 64 is connected to the first extension portion 68 without any gaps.

[0053] A first opening 65 and a first standing wall portion 66 are formed in the first main plate 63 of the first back shell 60. The first opening 65 penetrates the first main plate 63 in the fitting direction (Z direction). The first standing wall portion 66 extends from the entire edge of the first opening 65 so as to move away from the first peripheral plate 64 in the fitting direction. That is, the first standing wall portion 66 surrounds the first opening 65 in the XY plane perpendicular to the fitting direction.

[0054] 2 together with FIGS. 11 and 12, the second back shell 70 of this embodiment is made of a single metal plate and has a second main body portion 72 and a second extension portion 78. The second main body portion 72 has a rectangular box shape that opens toward the first back shell 60 in a predetermined direction (vertical direction). The second extension portion 78 has a semi-cylindrical shape that opens toward the first back shell 60 in a predetermined direction. The first extension portion 68 extends rearward from the rear end of the second main body portion 72. The second main body portion 72 and the second extension portion 78 are connected to each other without any gap.

[0055] As shown in FIG. 11 and FIG. 12, the second back shell 70 of the present embodiment has a second main plate 73 and a second peripheral plate 74. Each of the second main plate 73 and the second peripheral plate 74 is a part of the second main body portion 72. The second main plate 73 has a rectangular flat plate shape perpendicular to a predetermined direction (Z direction). The second peripheral plate 74 extends from the second main plate 73 along a predetermined direction. In detail, the second peripheral plate 74 extends from three connected edges of the second main plate 73 in the XY plane perpendicular to the predetermined direction toward the first back shell 60 along the predetermined direction. The three portions of the second peripheral plate 74 extending from the three edges are connected to each other without any gaps in the XY plane. In addition, the second peripheral plate 74 is connected to the second extension portion 78 without any gaps.

[0056] A plurality of slits 77 are formed in the second peripheral plate 74. Each of the slits 77 is a narrow groove formed in the second peripheral plate 74, and cuts out the second peripheral plate 74. Each of the slits 77 extends along a predetermined direction.

[0057] The connector harness 10 (see FIG. 2) of this embodiment will be described below.

[0058] 10 together with Fig. 2, the first back shell 60 and the second back shell 70 are combined with each other in a predetermined direction (Z direction) so as to sandwich the molded body 11, thereby assembling the connector harness 10 before molding the outer housing 18 (see Fig. 1). In other words, in the assembled state in which the connector harness 10 is assembled, the first back shell 60 and the second back shell 70 are combined with each other in a predetermined direction.

[0059] According to this embodiment, the second back shell 70 is combined with the first back shell 60 so as to cover an end portion of the first back shell 60 in a predetermined direction (Z direction). In other words, the second back shell 70 is combined with the first back shell 60 so as to partially cover the first back shell 60. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the first back shell 60 may be combined with the second back shell 70 so as to partially cover the second back shell 70.

[0060] 2 together with FIGS. 11 and 12, in an assembled state, the first main body portion 62 of the first back shell 60 and the second main body portion 72 of the second back shell 70 are combined with each other to form the main body portion 13 of the back shell 12, and the first extension portion 68 of the first back shell 60 and the second extension portion 78 of the second back shell 70 are combined with each other to form the extension portion 16 of the back shell 12. The extension portion 16 extends rearward from the rear end of the main body portion 13. The main body portion 13 and the extension portion 16 are connected with each other without any gaps, and cover the molded body 11 without any gaps, except for the rear portions of the connector 30 and the cable 50.

[0061] 4 together with FIGS. 2, 11, and 12, the back shell 12 has an opening 14. The opening 14 in this embodiment is a first opening 65 of the first back shell 60. The opening 14 penetrates the back shell 12 in the mating direction (Z direction) and has a track shape corresponding to the base shell 36 of the connector 30 in an XY plane perpendicular to the mating direction. The size of the opening 14 in the XY plane is almost equal to the size of the fixed portion 362 of the base shell 36 in the XY plane. In the assembled state, the base shell 36 passes through the opening 14 and protrudes to the outside of the back shell 12, thereby blocking the opening 14.

[0062] The back shell 12 has a standing wall portion 15. In this embodiment, the standing wall portion 15 is a first standing wall portion 66 of the first back shell 60. The standing wall portion 15 extends from the edge of the opening 14, and is connected to the base shell 36 of the connector 30 in an assembled state. As a result, the back shell 12 is grounded to the base substrate 20 via the base shell 36.

[0063] 4, in an assembled state, the first abutment portion 42 of the molded body 11 abuts against the first back shell 60, and the second abutment portion 44 of the molded body 11 abuts against the second back shell 70. With reference to FIGS. 2 and 7, in an assembled state, the first back shell 60 and the second back shell 70 are welded to each other. For example, the first back shell 60 and the second back shell 70 are laser welded to each other. With reference to FIG. 2, a weld mark 17 is formed on the connector harness 10 welded in this manner.

[0064] 4 together with FIGS. 2 and 8, according to the present embodiment, when assembling the connector harness 10, the first back shell 60 and the second back shell 70 abut against the first abutment portion 42 and the second abutment portion 44, respectively, so that the back shell 12 is easily positioned with respect to the molded body 11, and thereby the connector 30, which is a part of the molded body 11, is easily positioned with respect to the back shell 12.

[0065] Specifically, referring to Fig. 8, according to this embodiment, the base substrate 20 is positioned at a predetermined designed position inside the resin portion 40, so that the base substrate 20 is disposed at a designed position in the molded body 11. Referring to Fig. 2 together with Fig. 8, according to this embodiment, the first back shell 60 and the second back shell 70 are welded to each other in a state where they abut against the molded body 11, so that the base substrate 20 is disposed at a designed position in the connector harness 10. By positioning the base substrate 20 as described above, the connector 30 fixed to the base substrate 20 is easily positioned with respect to the back shell 12. For example, the longitudinal direction of the connector 30 can be extended along a designed direction, so that the connector 30 can be protruded from the back shell 12 by a designed protrusion amount.

[0066] 2 and 7, according to this embodiment, the first back shell 60 and the second back shell 70 are welded together to prevent the formation of a gap between the molded body 11 and the back shell 12. If the first back shell 60 or the second back shell 70 is formed by bending, a gap is inevitably formed between the molded body 11 and the back shell 12. On the other hand, referring to FIG. 11 and FIG. 12, each of the first back shell 60 and the second back shell 70 of this embodiment is a drawn product formed by drawing a single metal plate. Therefore, the formation of a gap can be more reliably prevented. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, each of the first back shell 60 and the second back shell 70 may be formed by casting, or may be formed by joining multiple metal plates without any gaps.

[0067] To summarize the above explanation with reference to Fig. 2, according to this embodiment, it is possible to provide an L-shaped connector harness 10 that can easily position the connector 30 relative to the backshell 12 and can sufficiently reduce EMI (Electro Magnetic Interference). The connector harness 10 of this embodiment is suitable for transmitting high-speed signals. However, the present invention is not limited to this and can be applied to various connector harnesses 10.

[0068] In addition to the various modifications already described, this embodiment can be modified in various ways as described below.

[0069] 8 and 9, each of the first abutment portion 42 and the second abutment portion 44 in this embodiment is a flat surface without any irregularities, and extends parallel to a predetermined plane (XY plane) perpendicular to a predetermined direction (Z direction). According to this embodiment, the resin part 40 can be molded by a simple mold (not shown). However, the present invention is not limited to this, and each of the first abutment portion 42 and the second abutment portion 44 can be modified, for example, as described below.

[0070] For example, only the upper surface and the lower surface of the locator 38 may function as the first abutment portion 42 and the second abutment portion 44, respectively. A recess may be formed on the surface of the resin part 40, and the surface of the resin part 40 may be divided into a plurality of regions by this recess. In this case, some of these regions may be used as the first abutment portion 42 or the second abutment portion 44. On the other hand, a plurality of protrusions may be formed on the surface of the resin part 40. In this case, some of these protrusions may be used as the first abutment portion 42 or the second abutment portion 44. In the above-mentioned modified example, by making three of the plurality of regions or the plurality of protrusions function as the first abutment portion 42 or the second abutment portion 44, the plane that abuts against the first back shell 60 and the second back shell 70 can be defined.

[0071] 2, 4 and 5, the standing wall portion 15 of the back shell 12 of this embodiment has a closed cylindrical shape in the XY plane perpendicular to the fitting direction (Z direction). The base shell 36 of the connector 30 extends through the inside of the standing wall portion 15 in the assembled state. That is, the standing wall portion 15 of this embodiment covers the base shell 36 without any gaps in the XY plane. This structure can more reliably reduce EMI. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the standing wall portion 15 may cover only the front and rear surfaces of the base shell 36.

[0072] 2, the standing wall portion 15 of the back shell 12 in this embodiment is welded to the base shell 36 of the connector 30, and is thereby reliably electrically connected to the base shell 36. However, as long as the standing wall portion 15 and the connector 30 are electrically connected to each other, the method of connection between the standing wall portion 15 and the connector 30 is not particularly limited. For example, a protrusion may be formed on the standing wall portion 15 to press it against the base shell 36. Also, the standing wall portion 15 may be pressed against the base shell 36 by a spring force.

[0073] 4, in the assembled state, the first abutment portion 42 of the molded body 11 abuts against the first main plate 63 of the first back shell 60, and the second abutment portion 44 of the molded body 11 abuts against the second main plate 73 of the second back shell 70. With this structure, flat surfaces abut against each other, so that the back shell 12 can be stably positioned relative to the molded body 11. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, each of the first main plate 63 and the second main plate 73 may have a protrusion formed thereon.

[0074] 7, the first back shell 60 and the second back shell 70 are assembled together such that the first peripheral plate 64 and the second peripheral plate 74 overlap each other in the XY plane. In the assembled state, the second peripheral plate 74 of the second back shell 70 is located outside the first peripheral plate 64 of the first back shell 60 in the XY plane, and a part of the first peripheral plate 64 is located inside each of the slits 77 in the XY plane.

[0075] According to this embodiment, by providing the slits 77 in the second peripheral plate 74 of the second back shell 70, the second peripheral plate 74 can be divided into a plurality of spring pieces. As a result, the second peripheral plate 74 of the second back shell 70 can be easily brought into close contact with the first peripheral plate 64 of the first back shell 60. In addition, the slits 77 can be covered from the inside in the XY plane by the first peripheral plate 64. That is, according to this embodiment, EMI can be reduced more reliably. In addition, the second peripheral plate 74 can be easily welded to the first peripheral plate 64. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the slits 77 may be formed as necessary.

[0076] 7, 11, and 12, the first peripheral plate 64 of the first back shell 60 of this embodiment has a plurality of guide protrusions 69. Each of the guide protrusions 69 is connected to an edge of the first peripheral plate 64 in a predetermined direction (Z direction) and protrudes away from the first main plate 63 in the predetermined direction. Providing the guide protrusions 69 makes it easier to cover the second back shell 70 on the first back shell 60. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the guide protrusions 69 may be provided as necessary.

[0077] 4, the illustrated extension 16 of the backshell 12 covers the cable 50 at a distance in the YZ plane perpendicular to the front-rear direction. However, after the illustrated connector harness 10 is assembled, the extension 16 is crimped to the shield layer 54 exposed from the outer cover 56, and the shield layer 54 is thereby grounded to the base substrate 20 via the backshell 12 and the base shell 36 of the connector 30.

[0078] 10, according to this embodiment, the predetermined surface 22 and the opposite surface 24 of the base substrate 20 are located on opposite sides of the base substrate 20 in the predetermined direction (Z direction), and are also located on opposite sides of the base substrate 20 in the mating direction (Z direction). In other words, according to this embodiment, the first back shell 60 and the second back shell 70 are combined so as to cover the predetermined surface 22 and the opposite surface 24, respectively. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the arrangement of the base substrate 20 with respect to the predetermined direction and the mating direction can be modified in various ways. Three modified examples will be described below.

[0079] 13 and 14 with FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the connector harness 10A according to the first modified example includes the same molded body 11 as the connector harness 10, and a back shell 12A different from the back shell 12 of the connector harness 10. The connector harness 10A can be mated with the object 80 along the mating direction, like the connector harness 10. The mating direction of this modified example is the up-down direction, that is, the Z direction, like the connector harness 10.

[0080] The connection end 58 of the cable 50 of the connector harness 10A extends along the front-rear direction (X direction) similarly to the connector harness 10. That is, the mating direction intersects with the direction in which the connection end 58 extends, and the connector harness 10A has an L-shape. Similar to the connector harness 10, the connector harness 10A may include an outer housing 18, and the outer housing 18 may cover the back shell 12A.

[0081] 13, the back shell 12A of this modification includes a first back shell 60A and a second back shell 70A. The back shell 12A and the second back shell 70A are assembled together in a predetermined direction. The predetermined direction in this modification is the horizontal direction (Y direction), which is perpendicular to the fitting direction (Z direction).

[0082] The base substrate 20 of the molded body 11 has a predetermined surface 22 and an opposite surface 24. The predetermined surface 22 is connected to the cable 50, and has two predetermined edges 28. The predetermined surface 22 and the opposite surface 24 are located on opposite sides of the base substrate 20 in the fitting direction (Z direction). According to this modification, the two predetermined edges 28 of the base substrate 20 are located on opposite sides of the predetermined surface 22 in the predetermined direction. In other words, according to this modification, the first back shell 60A and the second back shell 70A are combined so as to cover the two predetermined edges 28, respectively.

[0083] The back shell 12A of this modified example will now be described.

[0084] 13 together with FIGS. 16 and 17, the first back shell 60A of this modified example is a drawn product formed by drawing a single metal plate, and has a first main body portion 62A and a first extension portion 68A. The first main body portion 62A has a rectangular box shape that opens toward the second back shell 70A in a predetermined direction (Y direction). The first extension portion 68A has a semi-cylindrical shape that opens toward the second back shell 70A in a predetermined direction. The first extension portion 68A extends rearward from the rear end of the first main body portion 62A. The first main body portion 62A and the first extension portion 68A are connected to each other without any gap.

[0085] As shown in FIG. 16 and FIG. 17, the first back shell 60A of this modification has a first main plate 63A and a first peripheral plate 64A. Each of the first main plate 63A and the first peripheral plate 64A is a part of the first main body portion 62A. The first main plate 63A has a rectangular flat plate shape perpendicular to a predetermined direction (Y direction). The first peripheral plate 64A extends from the first main plate 63A along a predetermined direction. In detail, the first peripheral plate 64A extends from all edges of the first main plate 63A in a predetermined plane (XZ plane) perpendicular to the predetermined direction toward the second back shell 70A along the predetermined direction, and is closed in the XZ plane. In addition, the first peripheral plate 64A is connected to the first extension portion 68A without any gap.

[0086] A first opening 65A and a first standing wall portion 66A are formed in the first peripheral plate 64A of the first back shell 60A. The first opening 65A penetrates the first peripheral plate 64A in the fitting direction (Z direction) and opens to the opposite side of the first main plate 63A in the predetermined direction (Y direction). The first standing wall portion 66A extends from the entire edge of the first opening 65A toward the outside in the fitting direction. That is, the first standing wall portion 66A surrounds the first opening 65A in the XY plane perpendicular to the fitting direction.

[0087] 13 together with FIG. 16 and FIG. 18, the second back shell 70A of this modification is a drawn product formed by drawing a single metal plate, and has a second main body portion 72A and a second extension portion 78A. The second main body portion 72A has a rectangular box shape that opens toward the first back shell 60A in a predetermined direction (Y direction). The second extension portion 78A has a semi-cylindrical shape that opens toward the first back shell 60A in a predetermined direction. The first extension portion 68A extends rearward from the rear end of the second main body portion 72A. The second main body portion 72A and the second extension portion 78A are connected to each other without any gap.

[0088] As shown in FIG. 16 and FIG. 18, the second back shell 70A of this modification has a second main plate 73A and a second peripheral plate 74A. The second main plate 73A and the second peripheral plate 74A are each a part of the second main body portion 72A. The second main plate 73A has a rectangular flat plate shape perpendicular to a predetermined direction (Y direction). The second peripheral plate 74A extends from the second main plate 73A along a predetermined direction. In detail, the second peripheral plate 74A extends from all edges of the second main plate 73A in a predetermined plane (XZ plane) perpendicular to the predetermined direction toward the first back shell 60A along the predetermined direction, and is closed in the XZ plane. In addition, the second peripheral plate 74A is connected to the second extension portion 78A without any gap.

[0089] A second opening 75A and a second standing wall portion 76A are formed in the second peripheral plate 74A of the second back shell 70A. The second opening 75A penetrates the second peripheral plate 74A in the fitting direction (Z direction) and opens to the opposite side of the second main plate 73A in the predetermined direction (Y direction). The second standing wall portion 76A extends from the entire edge of the second opening 75A toward the outside in the fitting direction. That is, the second standing wall portion 76A surrounds the second opening 75A in the XY plane perpendicular to the fitting direction.

[0090] The following describes a connector harness 10A of this modification, focusing on the differences from the above-described embodiment.

[0091] 13 together with FIG. 16, the first back shell 60A and the second back shell 70A are combined with each other in a predetermined direction (Y direction) so as to sandwich the molded body 11, thereby assembling the connector harness 10A before molding the outer housing 18 (see FIG. 1). In other words, in an assembled state in which the connector harness 10A is assembled, the first back shell 60A and the second back shell 70A are combined with each other in a predetermined direction. According to this modification, the second back shell 70A is combined with the first back shell 60A so as to cover the end of the first back shell 60A in the predetermined direction.

[0092] In an assembled state, the first body portion 62A of the first back shell 60A and the second body portion 72A of the second back shell 70A are combined with each other to form the body portion 13A of the back shell 12A, and the first extension portion 68A of the first back shell 60A and the second extension portion 78A of the second back shell 70A are combined with each other to form the extension portion 16A of the back shell 12A. The extension portion 16A extends rearward from the rear end of the body portion 13A. The body portion 13A and the extension portion 16A are connected to each other without any gaps, and cover the molded body 11 without any gaps, except for the rear portions of the connector 30 and the cable 50.

[0093] 13, the first back shell 60A and the second back shell 70A are assembled together such that the first peripheral plate 64A and the second peripheral plate 74A overlap each other in the XZ plane, and the first standing wall portion 66A and the second standing wall portion 76A overlap each other in the XY plane. In the assembled state, the second peripheral plate 74A is located outside the first peripheral plate 64A in the XZ plane, and the second standing wall portion 76A is located outside the first standing wall portion 66A in the XY plane.

[0094] Referring to FIG. 13 together with FIGS. 16 to 18, the back shell 12A has an opening 14A. The opening 14A in this modification is a hole formed by combining the first opening 65A of the first back shell 60A and the second opening 75A of the second back shell 70A. The opening 14A penetrates the back shell 12A in the mating direction (Z direction) and has a track shape corresponding to the base shell 36 of the connector 30 in the XY plane perpendicular to the mating direction. The size of the opening 14A in the XY plane is almost equal to the size of the fixed portion 362 of the base shell 36 in the XY plane. In the assembled state, the base shell 36 passes through the opening 14A and protrudes to the outside of the back shell 12A. As a result, the opening 14A is blocked.

[0095] The back shell 12A has a vertical wall portion 15A. The vertical wall portion 15A of this modification is a plate formed by combining a first vertical wall portion 66A of the first back shell 60A and a second vertical wall portion 76A of the second back shell 70A. The vertical wall portion 15A extends from the edge of the opening 14A and has a closed cylindrical shape in an XY plane perpendicular to the fitting direction (Z direction). In an assembled state, the base shell 36 of the connector 30 extends through the inside of the vertical wall portion 15A, and the vertical wall portion 15A is connected to the base shell 36. As a result, the back shell 12A is grounded to the base substrate 20 via the base shell 36.

[0096] Referring to FIG. 15, the molded body 11 has a first abutment portion 42A and a second abutment portion 44A. According to this modification, both sides of the resin portion 40 of the molded body 11 in a predetermined direction (Y direction) function as the first abutment portion 42A and the second abutment portion 44A, respectively. That is, the first abutment portion 42A and the second abutment portion 44A are located on opposite sides of the molded body 11 in the predetermined direction. According to this modification, the locator 38 is not exposed to the outside of the molded body 11 at either the first abutment portion 42A or the second abutment portion 44A. However, the present invention is not limited to this. The locator 38 may be exposed to the outside of the molded body 11 at either or both of the first abutment portion 42A and the second abutment portion 44A.

[0097] In the assembled state, the first abutting portion 42A of the molded body 11 abuts against the first back shell 60A, and the second abutting portion 44A of the molded body 11 abuts against the second back shell 70A. More specifically, in the assembled state, the first abutting portion 42A abuts against the first main plate 63A of the first back shell 60A, and the second abutting portion 44A abuts against the second main plate 73A of the second back shell 70A. Referring to FIG. 13, the first back shell 60A and the second back shell 70A also sandwich the molded body 11 in the fitting direction (Z direction). In addition, in the assembled state, the first back shell 60A and the second back shell 70A are welded to each other. The connector harness 10 welded in this manner has a weld mark 17 formed thereon.

[0098] According to this modification, similarly to the above-described embodiment, it is possible to provide an L-shaped connector harness 10A that allows the connector 30 to be easily positioned relative to the back shell 12A and that can sufficiently reduce EMI.

[0099] This modified example can be modified in various ways, similar to the above-described embodiment.

[0100] For example, the standing wall portion 15A of the back shell 12A of this modified example is welded to the base shell 36 of the connector 30. However, the method of connecting the standing wall portion 15A and the connector 30 is not particularly limited.

[0101] For example, comparing Fig. 16 with Fig. 11, the first back shell 60A of this modified example does not have a portion such as the guide protrusion 69 of the first back shell 60. The second back shell 70A of this modified example does not have a portion such as the slit 77 of the second back shell 70. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the first back shell 60A may have the guide protrusion 69, and the second back shell 70A may have the slit 77.

[0102] 19 together with FIG. 1, the connector harness 10B according to the second modified example can be mated with the target object 80 along the mating direction, similar to the connector harness 10. However, the mating direction of this modified example is horizontal, that is, the Y direction, unlike the connector harness 10. The mating direction of this modified example coincides with the horizontal direction. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the mating direction may be oblique to the horizontal direction to some extent.

[0103] The connector harness 10B of this modification includes a molded body 11B, a back shell 12B, and an external housing 18B made of an insulator. The molded body 11B, the back shell 12B, and the external housing 18B have different shapes from the molded body 11, the back shell 12, and the external housing 18 of the connector harness 10, respectively, but have the same structure. For example, the back shell 12B covers most of the molded body 11B without any gaps. The external housing 18B is molded from resin and covers the molded body 11B and the back shell 12B. The connector harness 10B of this modification includes the above-mentioned members. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the external housing 18B may be provided as necessary.

[0104] The molded body 11B of this modified example will be described below.

[0105] Comparing Fig. 24 with Fig. 8, molded body 11B of this modification includes cable 50 that is the same as that of molded body 11, a base substrate 20B that is different from base substrate 20 of molded body 11, a locator 38 that is the same as that of molded body 11, a connector 30B that is different from connector 30 of molded body 11, and a resin part 40B that is different from resin part 40 of molded body 11. Connector harness 10B of this modification includes the above-mentioned members. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, locator 38 may be provided as necessary.

[0106] 26 together with FIG. 25, the base substrate 20B of this modification is a circuit board and has a rectangular flat plate shape parallel to the XY plane defined by the fitting direction (Y direction) and the front-rear direction. The base substrate 20B has a predetermined surface 22B and an opposite surface 24B. Each of the predetermined surface 22B and the opposite surface 24B functions as a main surface of the base substrate 20B. More specifically, a conductive pattern such as a plurality of conductive pads 26 made of a conductor is formed on each of the predetermined surface 22B and the opposite surface 24B.

[0107] Comparing Figures 25 and 26 with Figures 9 and 10, the arrangement of the conductive patterns on the predetermined surface 22B and the opposite surface 24B of the base substrate 20B is different from the arrangement of the conductive patterns on the predetermined surface 22 and the opposite surface 24 of the base substrate 20. Except for this difference, the base substrate 20B has a similar structure to the base substrate 20 and functions similarly to the base substrate 20. For example, in this modification, the predetermined surface 22B is the upper surface of the base substrate 20B, and the opposite surface 24B is the lower surface of the base substrate 20B. The predetermined surface 22B of this modification has two predetermined edges 28. The predetermined edges 28 of this modification are both edges in the lateral direction of the predetermined surface 22B.

[0108] 26, the connection end 58 of the cable 50 extends along the front-rear direction and is connected to the base substrate 20B. More specifically, the electric wire 52 of the connection end 58 is connected to the rear end of the base substrate 20B after being positioned by the locator 38 attached to the base substrate 20B. Referring to FIG. 26 together with FIG. 10, the predetermined surface 22B and the opposite surface 24B are each connected to the cable 50, similar to the predetermined surface 22 and the opposite surface 24.

[0109] 26, the connector 30B is connected to the base substrate 20B and extends from the base substrate 20B along the mating direction (Y direction). The mating direction in this modified example is perpendicular to the front-rear direction in which the connection end 58 of the cable 50 extends. That is, the connector harness 10B has an L-shape. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the mating direction may be oblique to the front-rear direction within a range in which the connector harness 10B can be said to have an L-shape. That is, it is sufficient that the mating direction intersects with the direction in which the connection end 58 of the cable 50 extends.

[0110] 23 and 26 with FIG. 5 and FIG. 10, the connector 30B of this modification has a similar structure to the connector 30, except that the structure of the portion fixed to the base substrate 20B is different from that of the connector 30. For example, the connector 30B includes a flat plate-shaped holding member 32 and 24 terminals 34 held by the holding member 32. In addition, the connector 30B includes a base shell 36B. The base shell 36B has a track shape in an orthogonal plane (XZ plane) perpendicular to the mating direction (Y direction), and covers the holding member 32 and the terminals 34 in the orthogonal plane. The connector 30B is a plug that complies with the USB Type-C standard, like the connector 30.

[0111] 26, the terminals 34 of the connector 30B are fixed and connected to the conductive pads 26 of the base substrate 20 by soldering. Also, the base shell 36B of the connector 30B is fixed to the conductive pads 26 of the base substrate 20 by soldering and is grounded. Comparing FIG. 26 with FIG. 10, the base shell 36B of the connector 30B of this modification has a plurality of fixed parts 362B instead of the fixed part 362 of the connector 30. Each of the fixed parts 362B is a rod-shaped part that protrudes from another part of the base shell 36B along the mating direction (Y direction) and is fixed and connected to the conductive pads 26 by soldering.

[0112] In this modification, the front end of the electric wire 52 of the cable 50, the base substrate 20B, the locator 38, and the connector 30B are fixed to each other to form a structure. Referring to Fig. 21 together with Fig. 26, the resin part 40B in this modification is molded from resin so as to embed and fix this structure therein, thereby forming a molded body 11B. Referring to Fig. 21, the resin part 40B is covered by the back shell 12B, and also covers the base substrate 20B. According to this modification, the resin part 40B is completely covered by the back shell 12B.

[0113] 24 and 25, the molded body 11B formed as described above has a first abutment portion 42B and a second abutment portion 44B. The first abutment portion 42B and the second abutment portion 44B are located on opposite sides of the molded body 11B in a predetermined direction. The predetermined direction in this modification is the up-down direction, which is perpendicular to the fitting direction (Y direction). That is, in this modification, the first abutment portion 42B is the upper surface of the molded body 11B, and the second abutment portion 44B is the lower surface of the molded body 11B.

[0114] The base substrate 20B of this modified example is completely embedded in the resin part 40B, except for a part of the predetermined surface 22B and a part of the opposite surface 24B. That is, the base substrate 20B is positioned at a predetermined position inside the resin part 40B. Similarly, the locator 38 of this modified example is completely embedded in the resin part 40B, except for both end surfaces in the up-down direction. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, each of the base substrate 20B and the locator 38 may be completely embedded inside the resin part 40B.

[0115] In this modification, at least one of the first abutment portion 42B and the second abutment portion 44B is at least partially exposed to the outside of the molded body 11B. More specifically, the locator 38 is at least partially exposed to the outside of the molded body 11B at each of the first abutment portion 42B and the second abutment portion 44B. That is, in this modification, the first abutment portion 42B is made up of the upper surface of the resin portion 40B and the upper surface of the locator 38, and the second abutment portion 44B is made up of the lower surface of the resin portion 40B and the lower surface of the locator 38.

[0116] A recess 48B is formed in the resin part 40B of this modification. The recess 48B is a mark left by removing two pins (not shown) of upper and lower dies (not shown) used to mold the resin part 40B, similar to the recess 48 (see FIG. 8) of the embodiment described above. According to this modification, the recess 48B is located near the front end of the resin part 40B, and the recess 48B and the fixed part 362B of the connector 30B are located on both sides of the resin part 40B in the fitting direction (Y direction). According to this arrangement, the cable 50 and the connector 30B are held by the die, and the base substrate 20B is held by two pins, so that the base substrate 20B can be reliably positioned with almost no effect on the conductive pattern (not shown). In addition, damage to the solder of the connector 30B caused by twisting of the base substrate 20B can be prevented.

[0117] The recess 48B of this modified example includes a predetermined recess 482B and an opposite recess 484B. The predetermined recess 482B and the opposite recess 484B each have a cylindrical shape. The predetermined recess 482B is connected to the predetermined surface 22B of the base substrate 20B and opens upward. The opposite recess 484B is connected to the opposite surface 24B of the base substrate 20B and opens downward. That is, the recess 48B is connected to each of the predetermined surface 22B and the opposite surface 24B of the base substrate 20B.

[0118] The back shell 12B (see FIG. 19) of this modified example will be described below.

Each of the first main plate 63B and the first peripheral plate 64B is a part of the first main body portion 62B. The first main plate 63B has a rectangular flat plate shape perpendicular to a predetermined direction (Z direction). The first peripheral plate 64B extends from the first main plate 63B along a predetermined direction. In detail, the first peripheral plate 64B extends from three connected edges of the first main plate 63B in the XY plane perpendicular to the predetermined direction toward the second back shell 70B along the predetermined direction. The three portions of the first peripheral plate 64B extending from the three edges are connected to each other without any gaps in the XY plane. In addition, the first peripheral plate 64B is connected to the first extension portion 68B without any gaps.

[0122] A first opening 65B and a first standing wall portion 66B are formed in the first peripheral plate 64B of the first back shell 60B. The first opening 65B penetrates the first peripheral plate 64B in the fitting direction (Y direction) and opens to the opposite side of the first main plate 63B in the predetermined direction (Z direction). The first standing wall portion 66B extends from the entire edge of the first opening 65B toward the outside in the fitting direction. That is, the first standing wall portion 66B surrounds the first opening 65B in the XZ plane perpendicular to the fitting direction.

The second main body portion 72B and the second extension portion 78B are connected to each other without any gap.

[0124] 27 and 28, the second back shell 70B has a second main plate 73B and a second peripheral plate 74B. Each of the second main plate 73B and the second peripheral plate 74B is a part of the second main body portion 72B. The second main plate 73B has a rectangular flat plate shape perpendicular to a predetermined direction (Z direction). The second peripheral plate 74B extends from the second main plate 73B along a predetermined direction.

[0125] A second opening 75B and a second standing wall portion 76B are formed in the second peripheral plate 74B of the second back shell 70B. The second opening 75B penetrates the second peripheral plate 74B in the fitting direction (Y direction) and opens to the opposite side of the second main plate 73B in the predetermined direction (Z direction). The second standing wall portion 76B extends from the entire edge of the second opening 75B toward the outside in the fitting direction. That is, the second standing wall portion 76B surrounds the second opening 75B in the XZ plane perpendicular to the fitting direction.

[0126] The following describes the connector harness 10B of this modification, focusing on the differences from the above-described embodiment.

[0127] 19 together with Fig. 24, the first back shell 60B and the second back shell 70B are combined with each other in a predetermined direction (Z direction) so as to sandwich the molded body 11B, thereby assembling the connector harness 10B before molding the outer housing 18B. In other words, in the assembled state in which the connector harness 10B is assembled, the first back shell 60B and the second back shell 70B are combined with each other in a predetermined direction.

[0128] According to this modification, the second back shell 70B is combined with the first back shell 60B so as to cover the end of the first back shell 60B in a predetermined direction (Z direction). In more detail, the first back shell 60B and the second back shell 70B are combined with each other so that the first peripheral plate 64B and the second peripheral plate 74B overlap each other in the XY plane, and the first standing wall portion 66B and the second standing wall portion 76B overlap each other in the XZ plane. In the assembled state, the second peripheral plate 74B is located outside the first peripheral plate 64B in the XY plane, and the second standing wall portion 76B is located outside the first standing wall portion 66B in the XZ plane.

[0129] 26, according to this modification, the predetermined surface 22B and the opposite surface 24B of the base substrate 20B are located on opposite sides of the base substrate 20B in the predetermined direction (Z direction). In other words, according to this modification, the first back shell 60B and the second back shell 70B are combined so as to cover the predetermined surface 22B and the opposite surface 24B, respectively. Meanwhile, the two predetermined edges 28 of the predetermined surface 22B are located on opposite sides of the predetermined surface 22B in the fitting direction (Y direction).

[0130] 19 together with FIGS. 27 and 28, in an assembled state, the first body portion 62B of the first back shell 60B and the second body portion 72B of the second back shell 70B are combined with each other to form the body portion 13B of the back shell 12B, and the first extension portion 68B of the first back shell 60B and the second extension portion 78B of the second back shell 70B are combined with each other to form the extension portion 16B of the back shell 12B. The extension portion 16B extends rearward from the rear end of the body portion 13B. The body portion 13B and the extension portion 16B are connected to each other without any gaps, and cover the molded body 11B without any gaps, except for the connector 30B and the rear portion of the cable 50.

[0131] Referring to FIG. 23 together with FIG. 27 and FIG. 28, the back shell 12B has an opening 14B. The opening 14B in this modification is a hole formed by combining the first opening 65B of the first back shell 60B and the second opening 75B of the second back shell 70B. The opening 14B penetrates the back shell 12B in the mating direction (Y direction) and has a track shape corresponding to the base shell 36B of the connector 30B in the XZ plane perpendicular to the mating direction. The size of the opening 14B in the XZ plane is almost equal to the size of the base shell 36B in the XZ plane. In the assembled state, the base shell 36B passes through the opening 14B and protrudes to the outside of the back shell 12B. As a result, the opening 14B is blocked.

[0132] The back shell 12B has a vertical wall portion 15B. The vertical wall portion 15B of this modification is a plate formed by combining a first vertical wall portion 66B of the first back shell 60B and a second vertical wall portion 76B of the second back shell 70B. The vertical wall portion 15B extends from the edge of the opening 14B and has a closed cylindrical shape in an XY plane perpendicular to the fitting direction (Z direction). In an assembled state, the base shell 36B of the connector 30B extends through the inside of the vertical wall portion 15B, and the vertical wall portion 15B is connected to the base shell 36B. As a result, the back shell 12B is grounded to the base substrate 20B (see FIG. 26) via the base shell 36B.

[0133] 21, in the assembled state, the first abutment portion 42B of the molded body 11B abuts against the first back shell 60B, and the second abutment portion 44B of the molded body 11B abuts against the second back shell 70B. In particular, in the assembled state, the first abutment portion 42B abuts against the first main plate 63B of the first back shell 60B, and the second abutment portion 44B abuts against the second main plate 73B of the second back shell 70B. Referring to FIG. 19, the first back shell 60B and the second back shell 70B also sandwich the molded body 11 in the fitting direction (Y direction). In addition, in the assembled state, the first back shell 60B and the second back shell 70B are welded to each other.

[0134] According to this modification, similarly to the above-described embodiment, it is possible to provide an L-shaped connector harness 10B that allows the connector 30B to be easily positioned relative to the back shell 12B and that can sufficiently reduce EMI.

[0135] This modified example can be further modified in various ways, as in the above-described embodiment.

[0136] 20 and 22, for example, the vertical wall portion 15B of the back shell 12B of this modified example is welded to the base shell 36B of the connector 30B, and is thereby reliably electrically connected to the base shell 36B. However, the method of connecting the vertical wall portion 15B to the base shell 36B is not particularly limited.

[0137] 27 together with FIG 11, the first peripheral plate 64B of the first back shell 60B may have a plurality of guide protrusions 69. Also, the second peripheral plate 74B of the second back shell 70B may have a plurality of slits 77 extending along a predetermined direction (Z direction) formed therein.

[0139] The connector harness 10C can be mated with the object 80 along the mating direction, similar to the connector harness 10B. The mating direction of this modification is the horizontal direction, the Y direction, similar to the connector harness 10B. The connection end 58 of the cable 50 of the connector harness 10C extends along the front-rear direction (X direction) similar to the connector harness 10B. That is, the mating direction intersects with the direction in which the connection end 58 extends, and the connector harness 10C has an L-shape. The connector harness 10C may include an external housing 18B, similar to the connector harness 10B, and the external housing 18B may cover the back shell 12C.

[0140] 29, the back shell 12C of this modification includes a first back shell 60C and a second back shell 70C. The back shell 12C and the second back shell 70C are assembled together in a predetermined direction. The predetermined direction in this modification is the lateral direction (Y direction), which coincides with the fitting direction (Y direction).

[0141] The base substrate 20B of the molded body 11B has a predetermined surface 22B and an opposite surface 24B. The predetermined surface 22B is connected to the cable 50, and has two predetermined edges 28. According to this modification, the two predetermined edges 28 are located on opposite sides of the predetermined surface 22B in the fitting direction (Y direction). The two predetermined edges 28 are also located on opposite sides of the predetermined surface 22B in the predetermined direction (Y direction). In other words, according to this modification, the first back shell 60C and the second back shell 70C are combined so as to cover the two predetermined edges 28, respectively.

[0142] The back shell 12C of this modified example will now be described.

The first peripheral plate 64C extends from the first main plate 63C along a predetermined direction. In detail, the first peripheral plate 64C extends from all edges of the first main plate 63C in the XZ plane perpendicular to the predetermined direction toward the second back shell 70C along the predetermined direction, and is closed in the XZ plane. In addition, the first peripheral plate 64C is connected to the first extension portion 68C without any gap.

[0145] A first opening 65C and a first standing wall portion 66C are formed in the first main plate 63C of the first back shell 60C. The first opening 65C penetrates the first main plate 63C in the fitting direction (Y direction). The first standing wall portion 66C extends from the entire edge of the first opening 65C so as to move away from the first peripheral plate 64C in the fitting direction. That is, the first standing wall portion 66C surrounds the first opening 65C in the XZ plane perpendicular to the fitting direction.

[0146] 29 together with FIG. 32 and FIG. 34, the second back shell 70C of this modification is a drawn product formed by drawing a single metal plate, and has a second main body portion 72C and a second extension portion 78C. The second main body portion 72C has a rectangular box shape that opens toward the first back shell 60C in a predetermined direction (Y direction). The second extension portion 78C has a semi-cylindrical shape that opens toward the first back shell 60C in a predetermined direction. The first extension portion 68C extends rearward from the rear end of the second main body portion 72C.

[0147] As shown in FIG. 32 and FIG. 34, the second back shell 70C of this modification has a second main plate 73C and a second peripheral plate 74C. Each of the second main plate 73C and the second peripheral plate 74C is a part of the second main body portion 72C. The second main plate 73C has a rectangular flat plate shape perpendicular to a predetermined direction (Y direction). The second peripheral plate 74C extends from the second main plate 73C along a predetermined direction. In detail, the second peripheral plate 74C extends from all edges of the second main plate 73C in the XZ plane perpendicular to the predetermined direction toward the first back shell 60C along the predetermined direction, and is closed in the XZ plane. In addition, the second peripheral plate 74C is connected to the second extension portion 78C without any gap.

[0148] The connector harness 10C of this modification will be described below, focusing on the differences from the above-described second modification.

[0149] 29 together with FIG. 32, the first back shell 60C and the second back shell 70C are combined with each other in a predetermined direction (Y direction) so as to sandwich the molded body 11B, thereby assembling the connector harness 10C before molding the outer housing 18B (see FIG. 19). In other words, in the assembled state in which the connector harness 10C is assembled, the first back shell 60C and the second back shell 70C are combined with each other in a predetermined direction. According to this modification, the second back shell 70C is combined with the first back shell 60C so as to cover the end of the first back shell 60C in the predetermined direction.

[0150] In the assembled state, the first body 62C of the first back shell 60C and the second body 72C of the second back shell 70C are combined with each other to form the body 13C of the back shell 12C, and the first extension 68C of the first back shell 60C and the second extension 78C of the second back shell 70C are combined with each other to form the extension 16C of the back shell 12C. The extension 16C extends rearward from the rear end of the body 13C. The body 13C and the extension 16C are connected to each other without any gaps. Referring to FIG. 29 together with FIG. 30, the body 13C and the extension 16C cover the molded body 11B without any gaps, except for the connector 30B and the rear of the cable 50.

[0151] 29, the first back shell 60C and the second back shell 70C are assembled together such that the first peripheral plate 64C and the second peripheral plate 74C overlap each other in the XZ plane. In the assembled state, the second peripheral plate 74C is located outside the first peripheral plate 64C in the XZ plane.

[0152] Referring to FIG. 31 together with FIG. 33, the back shell 12C has an opening 14C. The opening 14C in this modification is a first opening 65C of the first back shell 60C. The opening 14C penetrates the back shell 12C in the mating direction (Y direction) and has a track shape corresponding to the base shell 36B of the connector 30B in the XZ plane perpendicular to the mating direction. The size of the opening 14C in the XZ plane is almost equal to the size of the base shell 36B in the XZ plane. In the assembled state, the base shell 36B passes through the opening 14C and protrudes to the outside of the back shell 12C, thereby blocking the opening 14C.

[0153] The back shell 12C has a vertical wall portion 15C. The vertical wall portion 15C of this modified example is the first vertical wall portion 66C of the first back shell 60C. The vertical wall portion 15C extends from the edge of the opening 14C and has a closed cylindrical shape in the XZ plane perpendicular to the fitting direction (Y direction). In the assembled state, the base shell 36B of the connector 30B extends through the inside of the vertical wall portion 15C, and the vertical wall portion 15C is connected to the base shell 36B. As a result, the back shell 12C is grounded to the base substrate 20B via the base shell 36C.

[0154] Referring to FIG. 31, the molded body 11B has a first abutment portion 42C and a second abutment portion 44C. According to this modification, both sides of the resin portion 40B of the molded body 11B in a predetermined direction (Y direction) function as the first abutment portion 42C and the second abutment portion 44C, respectively. That is, the first abutment portion 42C and the second abutment portion 44C are located on opposite sides of the molded body 11B in the predetermined direction. According to this modification, the locator 38 is not exposed to the outside of the molded body 11B at either the first abutment portion 42C or the second abutment portion 44C. Therefore, each of the first abutment portion 42C and the second abutment portion 44C is made up only of the surface of the resin portion 40B.

[0155] In the assembled state, the first abutment portion 42C of the molded body 11B abuts against the first back shell 60C, and the second abutment portion 44C of the molded body 11B abuts against the second back shell 70C. More specifically, in the assembled state, the first abutment portion 42C abuts against the first main plate 63C of the first back shell 60C, and the second abutment portion 44C abuts against the second main plate 73C of the second back shell 70C. Referring to Fig. 29, in the assembled state, the first back shell 60C and the second back shell 70C are welded to each other.

[0156] According to this modification, similarly to the above-described embodiment, it is possible to provide an L-shaped connector harness 10C that can easily position the connector 30B relative to the back shell 12C and sufficiently reduce EMI.

[0157] This modification can be modified in various ways, similar to the above-described embodiment and modifications. For example, the vertical wall portion 15C of the back shell 12C of this modification is welded to the base shell 36B of the connector 30B, but the method of connecting the vertical wall portion 15C and the connector 30B is not particularly limited.
