DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0009] [Description of Embodiments of the Present Disclosure] First, embodiments of the present disclosure will be described below. The shielding terminal disclosed herein, (1) A method of manufacturing a shielded electric wire having a first outer conductor, a second outer conductor connected to the first outer conductor, and a module accommodated in the first outer conductor, wherein the first outer conductor has a wall facing one side intersecting with a front-rear direction and an opening portion opened to the one side behind the wall, the second outer conductor has a covering wall covering the opening portion, the module has an inner conductor connected to a front end portion of a shielded electric wire and a dielectric body accommodating the inner conductor, and is arranged to face the opening portion, the covering wall having a second edge portion, the second edge portion covering the first edge portion of the wall facing the opening portion from the one side.

[0010] The second outer conductor is easily assembled to the first outer conductor from one side. When the second outer conductor is assembled to the first outer conductor, the second edge of the covering wall covers the first edge of the one wall, so that the gap that can be formed between the covering wall and the one wall can be filled. As a result, a shielding terminal that improves assembly performance and ensures shielding performance can be obtained.

[0011] (2) In the shield terminal described in (1) above, preferably, the second outer conductor has a barrel portion crimped and connected to the shield portion of the shielded wire, and the first outer conductor has an insertion opening behind the storage space for storing the module, through which the module can be inserted.

[0012] The module can be inserted into the storage space through the insertion opening from the rear of the first outer conductor. Therefore, the module can be easily assembled with respect to the first outer conductor. In particular, since the second outer conductor has a barrel portion, the barrel portion can be omitted from the first outer conductor, and the insertion opening can be formed without obstacles at the rear of the storage space.

[0013] (3) In the shielding terminal described in (2) above, preferably, the first outer conductor has a pair of first side walls, the pair of first side walls are arranged on the left and right sides of the storage space and face the direction intersecting with the one wall, the first side wall has an elastically deformable locking portion inclined from a fulcrum portion toward the front toward the inner side of the first outer conductor and a cutout portion opened around the locking portion, the module has a locked portion locked to the locking portion when the first outer conductor is stored, and the second outer conductor has a pair of second side walls protruding from the end portions on the left and right sides of the covering wall, and the second side walls are arranged in a manner to cover the first side walls from the outer side of the first outer conductor.

[0014] The module can be elastically deformed when being inserted into the storage space of the first outer conductor. When the module is inserted into the storage space, the spring of the stopper is restored to stop the stopper, thereby preventing the module from falling out of the storage space. Since the cutout portion opened around the stopper is closed by the second side wall covering the first side wall, the shielding performance can be ensured.

[0015] (4) In the shield terminal described in any one of (1) to (3) above, preferably, the first edge portion is formed in a shape bent toward the inside of the first outer conductor from the base toward the rear, and the second edge portion is arranged to face the first edge portion from the rear.

[0016] The second edge is arranged to face the first edge bent toward the inside of the first outer conductor from the rear, and the second edge is not arranged outside the wall of the first outer conductor in a stacked manner. Therefore, a step caused by the second edge can be prevented. For example, when the shield terminal is inserted into the housing, interference between the second edge and the lance of the housing can be avoided.

[0017] [Details of the embodiments of the present disclosure] The following is a reference to the attached Figure 1 The present invention is not limited to the examples but is shown by the claims, and is intended to include all modifications within the meaning and scope equivalent to the claims.

[0018] <Implementation Method 1> like Figure 1 As shown, the shield terminal 10 of the first embodiment is a terminal connected to the shielded electric wire 90. Figure 2 As shown in FIG. 6 , the shield terminal 10 includes a module 60, a first outer conductor 20A, and a second outer conductor 20B. The shield terminal 10 is accommodated in a housing 110. The shield terminal 10 and the housing 110 constitute a shield connector 100. Figure 5 As shown, the module 60 has an inner conductor 61 and dielectric bodies 62A and 62B. In the following description, regarding the front-to-back direction, the terminal side of the shielded wire 90 is the front side. The up-down direction is based on the up-down direction of each figure. The left-right direction is based on the left-right direction when viewed from the front side. Figure 1 , arrows X, Y, and Z represent the front side, the right side, and the upper side, respectively.

[0019] (Inner conductor and shielded wire) The inner conductor 61 is made of a conductive metal, the details of which are not shown in the figure, and is generally elongated in the front-to-back direction. Figure 5 As shown in FIG. 1 , the inner conductor 61 is exemplified as a male terminal having a tab 63 protruding forward. The inner conductor 61 is connected to a core wire (not shown) of the shielded electric wire 90 .

[0020] The shielded electric wire 90 is composed of two covered electric wires 92 whose outer peripheries of the core wires are covered with an insulating coating 91, a sheath 93 covering each covered electric wire 92, and a shielding part 94 such as a braided wire located on the inner periphery of the sheath 93 and surrounding the outer periphery of each covered electric wire 92. The shielding part 94 may be composed of a metal foil such as copper foil or aluminum foil, or may be composed of both a braided wire and a metal foil. The front end of the shielding part 94 is exposed by peeling off the sheath 93 and is folded back to the outer periphery of the sheath 93. In the case of the first embodiment, the two covered electric wires 92 are twisted pairs, and are untwisted at the position exposed from the front end of the sheath 93. The core wire is exposed at the front end of each covered electric wire 92 by peeling off the insulating coating 91. Although not shown in the figure, the core wire exposed at the front end of the covered electric wire 92 is connected to the inner conductor 61. Two inner conductors 61 are provided corresponding to each covered electric wire 92.

[0021] (Dielectric body) The dielectric bodies 62A and 62B are made of insulating resin, such as Figure 5 As shown in FIG. 1 , the first dielectric body 62A and the second dielectric body 62B are provided. The second dielectric body 62B is arranged above the first dielectric body 62A, and surrounds the main body (excluding the connector 63) of each inner conductor 61 between the second dielectric body 62B and the first dielectric body 62A. Each inner conductor 61 is arranged in a horizontal manner and accommodated inside the second dielectric body 62B. The first dielectric body 62A has a side portion 64 that protrudes upward and locks the second dielectric body 62B.

[0022] The connector 63 of each inner conductor 61 is arranged to protrude in front of the dielectric bodies 62A and 62B. Each covered wire 92 of the shielded wire 90 extends to the rear of the dielectric bodies 62A and 62B. An upper surface locking portion 65 is recessed in the upper surface of the second dielectric body 62B. The upper surface locking portion 65 is formed into an opening shape that is rectangular when viewed from above, as shown in FIG. Figure 2 As shown in FIG. 1 , the upper surface locking portion 43 described later for locking the second outer conductor 20B can be embedded inside. Figure 5 As shown, the left and right side surfaces of the second dielectric body 62B are provided with recessed portions 66. The locked portions 66 are formed into a rectangular opening shape in a side view, and the later-described locking portions 34 of the first outer conductor 20A can be fitted and locked therein.

[0023] In addition, rib-shaped stoppers 67 extending in the vertical direction are protrudingly provided on the left and right side surfaces of the second dielectric body 62B. The stoppers 67 are arranged side by side with the stopped portions 66 at the rear end portions of the side surfaces of the second dielectric body 62B. As described later, the stoppers 67 have the function of abutting against the rear end of the first outer conductor 20A to stop the insertion of the module 60 into the first outer conductor 20A (see Figure 7 ).

[0024] (1st outer conductor) The first outer conductor 20A is made of conductive metal and is formed by bending a metal plate by press working. Figure 3 As shown, the first outer conductor 20A comprises: a base wall 21 extending in the front-to-back direction and arranging the plate surface in the up-down direction; an extension portion 22 extending rearward from the left and right central portions of the rear end of the base wall 21; a pair of first side walls 23 rising from the left and right end portions of the base wall 21; and a wall 24 spanning between the upper ends of the front portions of the first side walls 23.

[0025] The extension portion 22 is in the shape of a strip plate and can be locked to a barrel portion 41 (see FIG. 4 ) of the second outer conductor 20B. Figure 2 ). Each first side wall 23 is formed over the entire length of the first outer conductor 20A in the front-rear direction with the plate surface facing the left-right direction. The one wall 24 is composed of a side portion 24A extending from the upper end of one side of each first side wall 23 toward the other side and another side portion 24B extending from the upper end of the other side toward one side. One side portion 24A is formed longer in the left-right direction than the other side portion 24B.

[0026] One side portion 24A and the other side portion 24B are connected to each other in a concave-convex mesh at a position close to one side from the left and right center of the one wall 24. The front portion of each of the base wall 21 and the first side walls 23 and the one wall 24 constitute a cylindrical portion 26 in a square cylindrical shape at the front portion of the first outer conductor 20A. Elastic contact portions 25 are formed in the one side portion 24A and the first side walls 23 in a manner of cutting and raising inward. Each elastic contact portion 25 is electrically connected to the other outer conductor (not shown) inserted into the inner side of the cylindrical portion 26.

[0027] like Figure 3 and Fig. 9 As shown in FIG. 1 , one wall 24 has a first edge portion 28 extending from a root portion 27 connected to the rear end of one side portion 24A to be bent obliquely downwardly and rearwardly. The first edge portion 28 is in the shape of a protruding piece and protrudes toward a storage space 29 described later. Figure 3 As shown in FIG. 1 , the first edge 28 is arranged in a manner extending long in the left-right direction at a portion other than the left and right ends of the wall 24. The first edge 28 is not formed on the other side 24B. Fig. 9 As shown in FIG. 1 , the base 27 of the first edge portion 28 is curved downward. A second edge portion 48 of the second outer conductor 20B, which will be described later, is arranged on the first edge portion 28 so as to cover the second edge portion 48 from behind and above.

[0028] The first outer conductor 20A has a storage space 29 behind the barrel 26 that can store the module 60. The storage space 29 is connected to the inner side of the barrel 26 and is divided by the base wall 21 and the first side walls 23. The first outer conductor 20A has an opening 31 at the rear that opens upward to the storage space 29. The opening 31 is longer than the front-to-back length of the wall 24 and opens in the front-to-back direction. Fig. 9 As shown in FIG. 2 , when the module 60 is stored in the storage space 29, the upper surface of the second dielectric body 62B faces the opening 31. Figure 2 As shown, the joint 63 of the inner conductor 61 is arranged to protrude toward the inside of the cylindrical portion 26 .

[0029] In addition, if Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, the rear portion of the first outer conductor 20A opens an insertion port 32 behind the storage space 29 so that the module 60 can be inserted from the rear. The insertion port 32 communicates with the opening 31 and the storage space 29. The rear of the insertion port 32 is open as an insertion path for the module 60.

[0030] A cutout portion 33 is opened at the rear end of each first side wall 23. In addition, a stopper portion 34 is formed at the rear end of each first side wall 23 by bending and warping the plate portion disposed on the inner side of the cutout portion 33 inwardly (toward the storage space 29). The stopper portion 34 is shaped to be inclined inwardly and extended forwardly from the fulcrum portion 35 located at the rear end of the cutout portion 33. Thus, the stopper portion 34 can be elastically deformed in the left and right directions with the fulcrum portion 35 as the fulcrum. The module 60 enters the insertion port 32, and the stopper portion 34 elastically fits into the stopper portion 66 of the module 60, so that the front end of the stopper portion 34 becomes in a state of being able to contact with the front end surface of the stopper portion 66 (the surface located at the front end of the stopper portion 66 and facing the rear). Thus, the module 60 is restricted from falling off from the storage space 29.

[0031] A held portion 36 is formed as an opening between the elastic contact portion 25 and the locking portion 34 of each first side wall 23. The held portion 36 penetrates each first side wall 23 in the left-right direction and is arranged at intervals in the front-back direction. A holding portion 46 of the second outer conductor 20B described below can be locked in each held portion 36.

[0032] (Second outer conductor) The second outer conductor 20B is made of conductive metal and is formed by bending a metal plate by press working. The second outer conductor 20B is attached to the first outer conductor 20A from above (see Figure 8 Arrow D). Figure 4 As shown, the second outer conductor 20B has: a covering wall 37 extending in the front-to-back direction to configure the plate surface in the up-down direction; a pair of second side walls 38 protruding downward from the left and right ends of the covering wall 37; a connecting portion 39 extending rearward from the rear ends of the covering wall 37 and each second side wall 38; and a barrel portion 41 protruding rearward from the connecting portion 39.

[0033] like Figure 2 As shown, the barrel portion 41 is crimped to the front end portion of the shielded electric wire 90 and connected to the shield portion 94 folded back toward the outer peripheral side of the sheath 93. Figure 4 As shown, the barrel portion 41 has a pair of crimping pieces 42 ( Figure 4 Only one is shown in the figure). Each crimping piece 42 is Figure 4 In the open state shown, the shield portion 94 of the shielded electric wire 90 is received and, after crimping, is wound around the outer peripheral surface of the shield portion 94. Figure 2 As shown, the extension portion 22 is sandwiched between the top end portion of each crimping piece 42 and the shield portion 94 .

[0034] like Fig. 9 As shown, the covering wall 37 covers the opening 31 and closes the upper part of the housing space 29 when attached to the first outer conductor 20A. like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, an upper surface locking portion 43 capable of being locked with the upper surface locking portion 65 of the module 60 is formed in the central portion of the covering wall 37 in a manner of being cut and raised toward the lower side (the side where the first outer conductor 20A is located). Figure 2 As shown in FIG. 1 , a notch 44 extending in the left-right direction is formed at the front end of the cover wall 37 at a position forward of the upper surface locking portion 43, and a housing locking portion 45 is formed by bending the front portion of the notch 44 upward. The housing locking portion 45 is locked to a lance 111 formed on the housing 110. The shield terminal 10 is locked to the lance 111 and is held in the housing 110 in a state of being prevented from coming off.

[0035] like Figure 1 As shown in FIG. 1 , the second side wall 38 is arranged so as to cover the first side wall 23 from the outside of the first outer conductor 20A. A holding portion 46 that can be locked to each held portion 36 is formed on each second side wall 38. Each holding portion 46 protrudes inwardly (inwardly in the opposing direction of each second side wall 38) without a gap. Each holding portion 46 is arranged at intervals in the front-rear direction, similarly to each held portion 36.

[0036] A recess 47 is formed at the front end of the covering wall 37. The recess 47 is formed long in the left-right direction at the front end of the covering wall 37 except for the left and right ends. In addition, a second edge 48 is formed at the front end of the covering wall 37. The second edge 48 includes the inner end of the recess 47. The second edge 48 is an edge extending in the left-right direction at the front end of the covering wall 37, and is continuous from the adjacent portion of the covering wall 37 without a step. Fig. 9 As shown by the dotted line, the second edge 48 is formed in a range overlapping the first edge 28 above the first edge 28. The housing locking portion 45 is arranged behind the second edge 48 and close to the second edge 48.

[0037] like Fig. 9As shown, at the corner of the lower end of the second edge 48, an inclined surface 49 is formed by chamfering. The first edge 28 is engaged with the recess 47 of the cover wall 37 from the front. By engaging the first edge 28 with the recess 47, the second edge 48 covers the first edge 28 from above and is arranged to face the first edge 28 from the rear. In addition, the second edge 48 is arranged to face the rear of one side 24A of the wall 24 in a state of covering the first edge 28. The second edge 48 has a thickness that is the same as or similar to that of the one side 24A and is arranged within the range of projecting the one side 24A to the rear. The inclined surface 49 of the second edge 48 is arranged to face the first edge 28 from the oblique rear and to be close to or abut against it.

[0038] (Function of shielding terminal) Next, an example of the assembly steps of the shield terminal 10 is described. First, the assembly steps of the module 60 are described. Two inner conductors 61 are inserted and stored in the second dielectric body 62B. Each inner conductor 61 is previously connected to the core wire of each covered wire 92. Next, the first dielectric body 62A covers the second dielectric body 62B, and each inner conductor 61 is sandwiched between the first dielectric body 62A and the second dielectric body 62B. Thus, the module 60 is completed.

[0039] Next, the second dielectric body 62B is arranged on the upper side with respect to the first dielectric body 62A (see Figure 5 ). In this state, if Figure 6 As shown, the module 60 is inserted into the storage space 29 from the rear of the first outer conductor 20A through the insertion port 32. The module 60 moves straightly forward along the upper surfaces of the extension portion 22 and the base wall 21 (see FIG. Figure 6 During the movement of the module 60, the second dielectric body 62B interferes with each stopper 34, causing each stopper 34 to elastically deform outward. When the module 60 reaches the position where it is stored in the storage space 29 ( Figure 7 When the locking portions 34 are in the position shown in the figure, the locking portions 34 are restored by springs and are embedded in the locked portions 66, thereby restricting the module 60 from falling off rearward and upward relative to the first outer conductor 20A.

[0040] In addition, if Figure 7 As shown, when the module 60 reaches the position stored in the storage space 29, each stopper 67 abuts against the rear end of the first outer conductor 20A, limiting the forward movement of the module 60 relative to the first outer conductor 20A. The connector 63 of each inner conductor 61 is arranged to protrude toward the inside of the cylinder 26.

[0041] Then, if Figure 8As shown in FIG. 1 , the second outer conductor 20B is arranged above the first outer conductor 20A. In this state, the second outer conductor 20B is lowered straight downward along the arrow D. Then, the covering wall 37 covers the opening 31, and the second edge 48 covers the first edge 28 from the rear and above. In addition, the barrel 41 covers the shielding portion 94 of the shielded wire 90 from above. Since the second edge 48 covers the first edge 28, the gap formed between the wall 24 of the first outer conductor 20A and the covering wall 37 of the second outer conductor 20B is filled, and the shielding performance required by the shielding terminal 10 can be ensured. The second outer conductor 20B is held in a state of being restricted from falling off relative to the first outer conductor 20A by making the holding portion 46 stop on the held portion 36 of the first outer conductor 20A. Then, the barrel 41 is crimped to the shielding portion 94 of the shielded wire 90. As described above, the assembly of the shielding terminal 10 is completed. Furthermore, the module 60 can be easily assembled to the first outer conductor 20A and the second outer conductor 20B can be easily assembled to the first outer conductor 20A by an automatic mechanism (not shown).

[0042] As described above, according to the first embodiment, the second outer conductor 20B is assembled to the first outer conductor 20A from above in such a manner that the second edge portion 48 of the covering wall 37 covers the first edge portion 28 of the one wall 24. Furthermore, since the second edge portion 48 covers the first edge portion 28, it is possible to fill the gap that may be formed between the covering wall 37 and the one wall 24. Therefore, the shield terminal 10 of the first embodiment can improve the assembly performance of the components and ensure the shielding performance.

[0043] In addition, the barrel portion 41 is formed in the second outer conductor 20B, and an insertion port 32 is opened behind the storage space 29 of the first outer conductor 20A, through which the module 60 can be inserted. Since the module 60 is inserted into the storage space 29 from behind the first outer conductor 20A through the insertion port 32, the module 60 can be easily assembled with respect to the first outer conductor 20A.

[0044] Furthermore, in the case of the first embodiment, each first side wall 23 of the first outer conductor 20A has a locking portion 34 that is inclined inward from the supporting point portion 35 toward the front, and a cutout portion 33 that is open around the locking portion 34. In addition, the module 60 has a locked portion 66 that is locked to the locking portion 34 in a state of being accommodated in the first outer conductor 20A, and the second side wall 38 of the second outer conductor 20B is arranged so as to cover the first side wall 23 from the outside of the first outer conductor 20A. According to this, when the module 60 is inserted into the accommodation space 29, the locking portion 34 smoothly returns to its original shape and is locked to the locked portion 66, so that the module 60 can be restricted from falling out of the accommodation space 29. In addition, since the cutout portion 33 that is open around the locking portion 34 is covered by the second side wall 38 that is opposed to the first side wall 23, the shielding performance can be ensured.

[0045] Furthermore, in the case of the first embodiment, the first edge 28 is formed in a shape bent toward the inside of the first outer conductor 20A from the root 27 toward the rear, and the second edge 48 is arranged to face the first edge 28 from the rear. The second edge 48 is arranged to face the first edge 28 bent toward the inside of the first outer conductor 20A from the rear, and the second edge 48 is not arranged in a stacked manner on the outside of the one wall 24 of the first outer conductor 20A. Therefore, a step is not formed by the second edge 48. Therefore, for example, when the shield terminal 10 is inserted into the housing 110, the second edge 48 can be prevented from interfering with the lance 111 formed in the housing 110. As a result, the assembly performance of the shield terminal 10 with respect to the housing 110 can also be improved.

[0046] [Other embodiments of the present disclosure] It should be considered that the above-mentioned Embodiment 1 disclosed this time is an illustration and not restrictive in all aspects. In the case of the first embodiment, the first edge is formed in a shape that bends from the root toward the inside of the first outer conductor. In contrast, according to other embodiments, the first edge may be formed in a shape that extends straight from the root toward the rear. Alternatively, the first edge may not protrude from the rear end of one wall, but may be formed continuously in the left-right direction at the rear end of one wall. In the case of the first embodiment, the barrel portion is formed only on the second outer conductor, and the barrel portion is not formed on the first outer conductor. On the other hand, according to another embodiment, the barrel portion may be formed on the first outer conductor. In the case of the first embodiment, the dielectric body is configured to be divisible into the first dielectric body and the second dielectric body. In contrast, according to another embodiment, the dielectric body may be configured as an integral body without being divided into the first dielectric body and the second dielectric body.
