Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to a shielded connector. BACKGROUND

[0002] The shielded connector described in Patent Literature 1 is provided with a terminal (hereinafter, outer conductor) that is electrically connected to the front end portion of a shielded electric wire. The shielded electric wire is composed of a core wire, an insulator, a braided wire (hereinafter, shield portion), and an insulating sheath, which are stacked in this order from the radial center toward the outside. A ferrule is embedded in the front end portion of the shield portion. The shield portion is folded back in front of the ferrule. The folded back portion of the shield portion is covered by the outer peripheral surface of the ferrule. The outer conductor has a first and a second barrel piece and a third and a fourth barrel piece. The first and the second barrel pieces are crimped to the folded back portion of the shield portion. The folded back portion of the shield portion is held between the first and the second barrel pieces and the ferrule. The third and the fourth barrel pieces are crimped to the outer peripheral surface of the insulating sheath. The rear end edge of the first and the second barrel pieces is separated from the front end edge of the third and the fourth barrel pieces by a space. A pair of locking claws is formed protruding from the rear end edge of the first and the second barrel pieces. Each of the locking claws is bent toward the radial inner side of the first and the second barrel pieces. The tip end portion of each of the locking claws is opposed to the rear end edge of the ferrule. By the rear end edge of the ferrule being in contact with the tip end portion of each of the locking claws, the ferrule is prevented from being pulled back from the prescribed position relative to the outer conductor.

[0003] Patent Literature 2 discloses an outer conductor formed with a crimping portion. The crimping portion is crimped to the front end portion of a shielded electric wire. The crimping portion has a stopper. The stopper is formed by cutting a door-shaped cutout portion formed in a part of the crimping portion toward the radial inner side. When the shielded electric wire is pulled back, the ferrule comes into contact with the stopper, and, as in Patent Literature 1, the ferrule is prevented from being pulled back from the prescribed position relative to the outer conductor. PRIOR ART DOCUMENTS PATENT LITERATURE

[0004] Patent Literature 1: Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2020-57493 Patent Literature 2: Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2021-190215 SUMMARY PROBLEMS TO BE SOLVED BY THE INVENTION

[0005] In the case of Patent Literatures 1 and 2, it is possible to set the holding force of the outer conductor to the shielded electric wire to be greater than the pulling force of the shielded electric wire in the backward direction. However, in the case of Patent Literature 1, when the barrel is crimped, there is a possibility that the shield portion protrudes outward from the space between the first and the second barrel pieces and the third and the fourth barrel pieces. Similarly, in the case of Patent Literature 2, there is also a possibility that the shield portion protrudes outward from the gap around the stopper. There is room for improvement in terms of the stability of the contact pressure and the appearance when the shield portion protrudes, and the like.

[0006] Accordingly, an object of the present application is to provide a shielded connector which suppresses exposure of a shield portion while obtaining a holding force of an outer conductor to hold a shielded electric wire. Means for solving the problem

[0007] The shielded connector of the present application includes a shield support member that surrounds a front end portion of a shielded electric wire, and an outer conductor terminal that connects with a shield portion of the shielded electric wire, the shield support member being held to the shielded electric wire, the outer conductor terminal having a first portion that sandwiches the shield portion between an outer periphery of the shield support member, a second portion that surrounds an outer periphery of a sheath of the shielded electric wire, and a third portion of a surrounding shape that is continuous from the first portion to the second portion, the third portion having a punch hole that extends in a straight line shape in a circumferential direction intersecting a front-rear direction, and a protrusion that bulges inward in a radial direction of the third portion in a rear direction of the punch hole, the protrusion having a stopper portion that opposes the shield support member from the rear. Effects of the Invention

[0008] According to the present application, a shielded connector can be provided that suppresses exposure of a shield portion, and that obtains a holding force of an outer conductor to hold a shielded electric wire even when the shielded electric wire is pulled. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0010] [Description of embodiments of the present invention] First, embodiments of the present invention will be listed and described. The shielded connector of the present application, (1) A shielded connector comprising a shield support member that surrounds a front end portion of a shielded electric wire, and an outer conductor terminal that is connected to a shield portion of the shielded electric wire, the shield support member being held to the shielded electric wire, the outer conductor terminal having: a first portion that sandwiches the shield portion between an outer periphery of the shield support member; a second portion that surrounds an outer periphery of a sheath of the shielded electric wire; and a third portion of a surrounding shape that is continuous from the first portion to the second portion, the third portion having: a punched hole that extends linearly in a circumferential direction intersecting a front-rear direction; and a protruding portion that bulges inward in a radial direction of the third portion in a rear direction of the punched hole, the protruding portion having a stopper portion that opposes the shield support member from the rear.

[0011] For example, if a pulling force in the rear direction is applied to the shielded electric wire, the stopper portion of the protruding portion comes into contact with the shield support member, and the relative retreat of the shield support member with respect to the protruding portion can be prevented. Here, the shield support member is held to the shielded electric wire, and the protruding portion is formed in the outer conductor. Therefore, according to the structure of the above (1), the relative misalignment between the outer conductor and the shielded electric wire can be prevented. As a result, the state in which the outer conductor is connected to the shield portion of the shielded electric wire can be stably maintained. In particular, in the third portion of the surrounding shape that is continuous from the first portion to the second portion, the stopper portion is provided in a shape that bulges inward in the radial direction, rearward of the punched hole that extends linearly in the circumferential direction. Therefore, due to the stopper portion, a large hole or space does not occur in the outer conductor, and the shield portion can be inhibited from being exposed outward from the outer conductor.

[0012] (2) In the shielded connector described in the above (1), it is preferable that a stopper-portion-opposed portion in the shield support member be inclined outward rearward from the inside to the outside in the radial direction of the shield support member. If a pulling force in the rear direction is applied to the shielded electric wire, the stopper portion of the protruding portion can come into contact with the stopper-portion-opposed portion of the shield support member. At this time, the stopper-portion-opposed portion is inclined in a direction in which a contact position with the stopper portion is deepened, so the contact state of the stopper-portion-opposed portion and the stopper portion can be maintained, and the retreat of the shield support member can be further reliably prevented.

[0013] (3) In the shielded connector described in the above (1) or (2), it is preferable that the shield support member have a recess portion that is open at a rear end of the shield support member, and the protruding portion be disposed in the recess portion. By disposing the protruding portion in the recess portion, the relative positions of the outer conductor and the shield support member can be determined.

[0014] (4) In the shielded connector described in (3) above, preferably, a plurality of recesses are provided at intervals along the circumference of the shielded support member at the rear end of the shielded support member, and a plurality of protrusions are provided at intervals along the circumference of the third part at positions corresponding to the plurality of recesses in the third part. When a backward pulling force is applied to the shielded wire, multiple protrusions can contact the shielding support member at multiple points, thus further and reliably preventing the shielding support member from retracting.

[0015] [Details of embodiments of the present invention] Specific examples of the invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Furthermore, the invention is not limited to these examples, but is intended to encompass all variations within the meaning and scope of the claims, as shown by the claims.

[0016] <Implementation Method 1> like Figure 1 and Figure 17 As shown, the shielded connector 10 of Embodiment 1 of the present invention includes an inner conductor terminal 11, a dielectric body 12, an outer conductor terminal 13, and a shielding support member 14 (in... Figure 17 (not shown in the figure) and housing 15 (in Figure 1 (Not shown in the figure). The inner conductor terminal 11, outer conductor terminal 13, and shielding support member 14 are formed by bending conductive metal sheets, etc. The dielectric body 12 and the housing 15 are formed of insulating resin material. The housing 15 is fitted into the shielded connector 100. The inner conductor terminal 11 and outer conductor terminal 13 are electrically connected to the terminal portion of the shielded wire 90. The inner conductor terminal 11, dielectric body 12, outer conductor terminal 13, and shielding support member 14 are assembled together at the terminal portion of the shielded wire 90 to form a shielded terminal unit 20 (see reference). Figure 14 ).like Figure 17 As shown, the shielded terminal unit 20 is housed in the housing 15. Furthermore, in the following description, regarding the front-to-back direction, the direction in which the shielded connector 10 engages with the opposing shielded connector 100 is defined as front-facing. The terminal portion of the shielded wire 90 corresponds to the front end of the shielded wire 90. The vertical direction is excluded. Figure 15 The vertical direction of all other figures is used as the reference. The horizontal direction is based on the left-right direction when viewed from the front. Figure 1 In the diagram, arrows X, Y, and Z represent forward, right, and upward, respectively. The reference for these directions may not be consistent with the reference for the directions when the shielded connector 10 is mounted in a vehicle (not shown) or similar vehicle.

[0017] (Shielded wire 90) like Figure 5As shown, the shielded electric wire 90 of the present embodiment 1 is provided with two internal electric wires 91, a shield portion 92 that surrounds the internal electric wires 91 together, and an insulating sheath 93 that covers the outer periphery of the shield portion 92. Each internal electric wire 91 is a covered electric wire in which a core wire 95 is covered with an insulating covering portion 96. The internal electric wires 91 are twisted together to constitute a twisted pair. The shield portion 92 is a flexible conductive member, and in this case is constituted by a braided wire in which a conductive wire material such as copper or aluminum is braided into a cylindrical shape. As shown in Figure 8 An insulating member 94 is provided between each internal electric wire 91 and the shield portion 92.

[0018] At the front end portion of the shielded electric wire 90, the sheath 93 is removed, and each internal electric wire 91, the insulating member 94, and the shield portion 92 are successively exposed. Further, at the front end portion of each internal electric wire 91, the insulating covering portion 96 is removed, and the core wire 95 is exposed.

[0019] As shown in Figure 15 The shield support member 14 surrounds the front end portion of the shielded electric wire 90 further forward than the sheath 93, and holds the shielded electric wire 90. The front end portion of the shield portion 92 is disposed at the inner and outer peripheries of the shield support member 14 via the front of the shield support member 14. The shield portion 92 has a folded-back portion 97 that is folded back toward the outer periphery side of the shield support member 14, and an inner peripheral portion 98 that is disposed along the outer peripheral surface of the insulating member 94 at the inner periphery side of the shield support member 14.

[0020] (Inner conductor terminal 11) As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 9 The inner conductor terminal 11 of the present embodiment 1 is formed into an elongated shape in the front-rear direction by bending of a metal plate. As shown in Figure 17 At the front end portion of the inner conductor terminal 11, a tab 112 of the counterpart inner conductor terminal 111 is fitted and electrically connected. As shown in Figure 1 The rear end portion of the inner conductor terminal 11 is crimped and electrically connected to the exposed core wire 95 of the internal electric wire 91, and is mechanically connected to the insulating covering portion 96.

[0021] (Dielectric body 12) As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 10 The dielectric body 12 of the present embodiment 1 is constituted by a first dielectric body 16 and a second dielectric body 17. The second dielectric body 17 is assembled to the first dielectric body 16 from above. The inner conductor terminals 11 are housed in the first dielectric body 16 and the second dielectric body 17 in alignment in the left-right direction. Similarly, the front end portions of the internal electric wires 91 are housed in the first dielectric body 16 and the second dielectric body 17 in alignment in the left-right direction in a twisted state.

[0022] As shown in Figure 11As shown, the front end portion of the outer peripheral surface of the dielectric body 12 (the first dielectric body 16 and the second dielectric body 17) is configured as a peripheral surface portion 18 along the front-rear direction. The peripheral surface portion 18 of the dielectric body 12 has a circular shape at the four corners in the front view, and has an outer peripheral shape that is longer in the left-right direction than in the up-down direction. In addition, the outer peripheral surface of the dielectric body 12 has, in addition to the peripheral surface portion 18, a beveled surface portion 19 that expands in diameter toward the rear from the peripheral surface portion 18, and a rear surface portion 21 that extends toward the rear from the beveled surface portion 19.

[0023] The second dielectric body 17 has a front wall portion 22 that constitutes a front wall portion of the dielectric body 12. The front wall portion 22 has a pair of tab insertion holes 23. Each tab insertion hole 23 penetrates the front wall portion 22 along the front-rear direction. As shown in FIG. 2, the tab 112 of the counterpart inner conductor terminal 111 is inserted into the corresponding inner conductor terminal 11 and electrically connected thereto by being inserted into the tab insertion hole 23 from the front. Figure 17 As shown, the tab 112 of the counterpart inner conductor terminal 111 is inserted into the tab insertion hole 23 from the front, and is inserted into the corresponding inner conductor terminal 11 and electrically connected thereto. The front surface of the front wall portion 22 is arranged face-to-face with the counterpart dielectric body 122 of the counterpart shield connector 100. In addition, the counterpart inner conductor terminal 111 is housed in the counterpart dielectric body 122. The tab 112 protrudes from the counterpart dielectric body 122 toward the tab insertion hole 23.

[0024] (Outer conductor terminal 13) As shown, the outer conductor terminal 13 of the present embodiment 1 is configured by a first outer conductor terminal 24 and a second outer conductor terminal 25. The first outer conductor terminal 24 has an encircling portion 26 that encircles the outer periphery of the dielectric body 12, and an extension portion 27 that extends toward the rear from the encircling portion 26. Figure 1 As shown, the encircling portion 26 has a circular shape at the four corners in the front view, and has a cylindrical shape that is longer in the left-right direction than in the up-down direction. The dielectric body 12 is inserted into the encircling portion 26 from the rear. The outer conductor terminal 13 and the inner conductor terminal 11 are insulated from each other by the dielectric body 12. As shown in FIG. 2, the encircling portion 26 is provided with a pair of abutment rims 28 that are engaged in a concave-convex manner at the left and right intermediate portions of the upper wall portion. The encircling portion 26 maintains the cylindrical shape by the abutment rims 28.

[0025] Figure 2 As shown, the encircling portion 26 has a circular shape at the four corners in the front view, and has a cylindrical shape that is longer in the left-right direction than in the up-down direction. The dielectric body 12 is inserted into the encircling portion 26 from the rear. The outer conductor terminal 13 and the inner conductor terminal 11 are insulated from each other by the dielectric body 12. As shown in FIG. 2, the encircling portion 26 is provided with a pair of abutment rims 28 that are engaged in a concave-convex manner at the left and right intermediate portions of the upper wall portion. The encircling portion 26 maintains the cylindrical shape by the abutment rims 28. Figure 18 As shown, the first outer conductor terminal 24 has a pair of anti-falling portions 29 (only one side is shown) at the end portions on the left and right sides of the rear end portion of the encircling portion 26. Each anti-falling portion 29 is engaged with the dielectric body 12. The dielectric body 12 is inhibited from falling rearward from the encircling portion 26 by the anti-falling portions 29. Figure 2 As shown, the first outer conductor terminal 24 has a pair of anti-falling portions 29 (only one side is shown) at the end portions on the left and right sides of the rear end portion of the encircling portion 26. Each anti-falling portion 29 is engaged with the dielectric body 12. The dielectric body 12 is inhibited from falling rearward from the encircling portion 26 by the anti-falling portions 29.

[0026] Figure 2 As shown, the first outer conductor terminal 24 has a pair of anti-falling portions 29 (only one side is shown) at the end portions on the left and right sides of the rear end portion of the encircling portion 26. Each anti-falling portion 29 is engaged with the dielectric body 12. The dielectric body 12 is inhibited from falling rearward from the encircling portion 26 by the anti-falling portions 29. Figure 2 As shown, the first outer conductor terminal 24 has a pair of anti-falling portions 29 (only one side is shown) at the end portions on the left and right sides of the rear end portion of the encircling portion 26. Each anti-falling portion 29 is engaged with the dielectric body 12. The dielectric body 12 is inhibited from falling rearward from the encircling portion 26 by the anti-falling portions 29.

[0027] ​​The first outer conductor terminal 24 has a stepped portion 31 at the front end portion of the enclosing portion 26. The stepped portion 31 is composed of an inclined surface portion 32 that is tapered toward the radial inner side in the front direction and a vertical surface portion 33 that extends from the front end of the inclined surface portion 32 toward the radial inner side. The vertical surface portion 33 is formed so as to be steeper than the inclined surface portion 32 in terms of the inclination angle with respect to the front-rear direction.

[0028] In the portion of the enclosing portion 26 that is on the front side and the rear side of the stepped portion 31, the front side portion is composed of a plurality of stop portions 34, and the rear side portion is composed of a peripheral wall portion 35. Each stop portion 34 constitutes the front end portion of the enclosing portion 26 and is divided into a plurality in the circumferential direction via slits 36 described later. Each stop portion 34 is in the shape of a plate along the circumferential direction and is located radially inward of the peripheral wall portion 35. As shown in Figure 17 Each stop portion 34 is in a straight shape extending in the front-rear direction in the cross-sectional shape along the front-rear direction. A space in which the tab 112 of the opposite inner conductor terminal 111 is disposed is located radially inward of the stop portion 34. In the case of the present embodiment 1, the distance (radial separation distance) between the tab 112 of the opposite inner conductor terminal 111 and the stop portion 34 is set to be constant as viewed in the front-rear direction.

[0029] As shown in Figure 2 and Figure 18 The enclosing portion 26 has a plurality of slits 36 extending in the front-rear direction. Each slit 36 is disposed at an interval in the circumferential direction in the enclosing portion 26, and in detail, at unequal intervals in the circumferential direction. As shown in Figure 2 Each slit 36 is formed so as to extend in the front-rear direction in the range from the stop portion 34 to the peripheral wall portion 35 via the stepped portion 31 in the front-rear direction. The front end of each slit 36 is open at the front end of the enclosing portion 26. Each stop portion 34 is elastically deformable in the radial direction with the portion of the peripheral wall portion 35 corresponding to the rear end of each slit 36 as a fulcrum.

[0030] In the case of the present embodiment 1, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 18 Each slit 36 has four first slits 37 formed at the four corners of the enclosing portion 26 and two second slits 38 formed at the left and right intermediate portions of the upper wall portion and the lower wall portion of the enclosing portion 26. Each first slit 37 is in a shape that cuts in deeper in the front-rear direction than each second slit 38. The rear end of each first slit 37 is disposed at the same position as the rear end of an elastic contact portion 39 described later or rearward of the rear end of the elastic contact portion 39 in the front-rear direction. The rear end of each second slit 38 is located at a position corresponding to the front end portion of the elastic contact portion 39 in the front-rear direction.

[0031] As shown in Figure 2 and Figure 18As shown, the surrounding portion 26 has multiple elastic contact portions 39 on the upper wall portion, the lower wall portion, and the left and right side wall portions. Figure 2 , Figure 14 and Figure 18 As shown, each elastic contact portion 39 has a left-right pair formed between each first slit 37 and each second slit 38 on the upper and lower wall portions. In addition, each elastic contact portion 39 has one between each first slit 37 on each side wall portion.

[0032] like Figure 2 As shown, each elastic contact portion 39 is cut radially outward in a mountain shape between paired cuts 41 formed on the peripheral wall portion 35. Each cut 41 extends linearly along the front-rear direction on the peripheral wall portion 35. The elastic contact portion 39 is formed as a double-support beam with fixed ends at both ends between the cuts 41. The elastic contact portion 39 can elastically deform radially on the peripheral wall portion 35. The elastic contact portion 39 has a contact portion 42 protruding radially outward. The contact portion 42 corresponds to the top of the elastic contact portion 39. Figure 17 As shown, the outer conductor terminal 123 of the shielded connector 100 engages with the outer periphery of the surrounding portion 26. The contact portion 42 of the elastic contact portion 39 contacts the inner periphery of the outer conductor terminal 123. Through the engagement of the shielded connector 10 and the shielded connector 100, the outer conductor terminal 13 and the outer conductor terminal 123 are electrically connected.

[0033] like Figure 2 As shown, the extension 27 is a strip-shaped portion extending rearward from the lower wall portion of the peripheral wall portion 35. The cylindrical plate 55 of the second outer conductor terminal 25 (described later) is mounted on the outer periphery of the extension 27. The lower end of the folded-back portion 97 of the shielding portion 92 is held between the extension 27 and the cylindrical plate 55 of the second outer conductor terminal 25 (described later).

[0034] like Figure 13 As shown, the second outer conductor terminal 25 is cap-shaped and is assembled from above to the rear of the first outer conductor terminal 24. Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the second outer conductor terminal 25 has, sequentially from its front end toward the rear, an engaging portion 43, a first portion 44, a third portion 46, and a second portion 45. (As shown...) Figure 3 As shown, the engaging portion 43 is door-shaped in its main view and has a pair of side plates 47 facing each other in the left-right direction. Each side plate 47 is disposed at the front end of the second outer conductor terminal 25. Each side plate 47 is inserted into a guide groove (not shown) in the housing 15 to guide the assembly of the outer conductor terminal 13 relative to the housing 15. Additionally, as... Figure 1 and Figure 13As shown, the engaging portion 43 has a spear-shaped opening 48 that is quadrangular in top view and a locking protrusion 49 that curves upward from the front end of the spear-shaped opening 48. The spear-shaped portion of the housing 15 (not shown) enters the spear-shaped opening 48 of the engaging portion 43 and is locked by the locking protrusion 49, thereby preventing the outer conductor terminal 13 from falling rearward from the housing 15.

[0035] Parts 1 to 3, 44, 45, and 46, refer to the U-shaped (open shape) form before crimping with the shielded wire at a 90° angle. Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 13 The O-shape (closed shape, refer to) after crimping Figure 14 - Figure 16 ) Changes. In addition, unless otherwise specified, the following descriptions in Parts 1 to 3, 44, 45, and 46, are based on the state after crimping.

[0036] like Figure 15 As shown, the first part 44 is crimped and electrically connected to the folded-back part 97 of the shielding part 92. The folded-back part 97 of the shielding part 92 is clamped and held between the first part 44 and the shielding support member 14. The first part 44 is cylindrical and surrounds the outer circumference of the folded-back part 97 of the shielding part 92.

[0037] The second part 45 is crimped and mechanically connected to the sheath 93 of the shielded wire 90. The second part 45 is cylindrical and surrounds the outer circumference of the sheath 93.

[0038] like Figure 15 As shown, the third part 46 is positioned between the first part 44 and the second part 45 in the front-rear direction. The third part 46 is cylindrical in shape and is arranged to cover the area from the front end of the sheath 93 of the shielded wire 90 to the front. Figure 14 As shown, the third part 46 is continuous with the first part 44 and the second part 45 in the front-back direction with the same diameter and without steps. The first part 44 is positioned forward of the punch 52 described later. The second part 45 is positioned rearward of the protrusion 51 described later. In this specification, the boundaries of each of the first to third parts 44, 45, and 46 (refer to...) Figure 14 The dotted lines are positioned at the front and rear positions of the punch 52 and the protrusion 51.

[0039] The third part 46 has a plurality of protrusions 51. Each protrusion 51 is arranged in the third part 46 at circumferential intervals, specifically at unequal intervals. In the case of this embodiment 1, each protrusion 51 is arranged in a pair, one above the other, at a position that can be visually recognized from both the left and right sides.

[0040] like Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, each protrusion 51 is formed by cutting up behind the punch hole 52 formed in the third portion 46 in a manner that bulges toward the radially inner side of the third portion 46. Each punch hole 52 extends linearly along the circumferential direction of the third portion 46. Each protrusion 51 is connected uninterruptedly with the adjacent portion of the third portion 46 except for each punch hole 52. Each protrusion 51 appears triangular when viewed from the radially outer side, and gradually expands in the circumferential direction toward the front where the punch hole 52 is located. As shown in Figure 15 , in the cross-sectional shape along the front-rear direction, each protrusion 51 is inclined toward the radially inner side in the front direction.

[0041] As shown in Figure 15 , the front end surface of each protrusion 51 is configured as a stopper 53 that can contact a later-described stopper receiving portion 62 of the shield support member 14 from behind. As shown in Figure 3 , the stopper 53 is the plate thickness surface of the third portion 46, and is formed in conjunction with the cutting up from the punch hole 52. The stopper 53 is curvedly protruding toward the radially inner side of the third portion 46. The stopper 53 of each protrusion 51 extends in the circumferential direction along each punch hole 52. In addition, as shown in Figure 15 , the stopper 53 is inclined with respect to the radial direction along a direction orthogonal to the inclination direction of the protrusion 51.

[0042] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 3 , the first to third portions 44, 45, 46 have a base portion 54 extending in the front-rear direction, and a left and right pair of barrel pieces 55 (see Figure 3 ) protruding downward from the base portion 54 in the state before crimping. The base portion 54 and each barrel piece 55 are connected uninterruptedly in the front-rear direction except for the punch hole 52, and are common to the first to third portions 44, 45, 46. As shown in Figure 14 , each barrel piece 55 is wound around the shielded electric wire 90. The circumferential direction both ends of each barrel piece 55 at the lower end portions of the first to third portions 44, 45, 46 become fitting ends 56 that are mutually concavo-convexly fitted. The fitting end 56 of each barrel piece 55 has an inclined edge 57 inclined in a direction intersecting the circumferential direction at the third portion 46. The first to third portions 44, 45, 46 maintain a closed shape (barrel shape) by the engagement of the inclined edge 57 of the fitting end 56.

[0043] (Shield support member 14) The shield support member 14 of the present embodiment 1 changes from a U-shaped shape (open shape, see Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 ) before crimping with respect to the shielded electric wire 90 to an O-shaped shape (closed shape, see Figure 7 , Figure 15 and Figure 16 ) after crimping. Furthermore, the following description of the shield support member 14 is based on the state after crimping, unless otherwise specified.

[0044] As shown in Figure 7 , the shield support member 14 has a cylindrical shape. The circumferential both ends of the shield support member 14 are disposed in contact with each other in the upper end portion of the shield support member 14 in the front-rear direction. As shown in Figure 15 , the folded-back portion 97 of the shield portion 92 is pressed against the outer peripheral surface of the shield support member 14 by the pressing force of the first portion 44. The shield support member 14 contacts the inner peripheral portion 98 of the shield portion 92 on the outer peripheral surface of the insulating member 94.

[0045] As shown in Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 , the shield support member 14 has a plurality of ribs 58. Each rib 58 extends in the circumferential direction while being spaced apart in the front-rear direction in the shield support member 14. The circumferential both ends of each rib 58 reach the vicinity of the upper end portion of the shield support member 14. Each rib 58 protrudes toward the radially inner side of the shield support member 14 and contacts the inner peripheral portion 98 of the shield portion 92 (see Figure 15 ).

[0046] As shown in Figure 4 , the shield support member 14 has a plurality of recessed portions 61. Each recessed portion 61 has a rectangular recess shape as viewed from the radially outer side and is open at the rear end of the shield support member 14. Each recessed portion 61 is disposed at an unequal interval in the circumferential direction on the shield support member 14. Each protruding portion 51 of the third portion 46 is disposed in each recessed portion 61 of the outer conductor terminal 13 when the outer conductor terminal 13 is pressed.

[0047] The inner end surface (the end surface toward the rear side on the front side) of each recessed portion 61 is configured as a stopper portion 62. The stopper portion 62 of the recessed portion 61 extends in the circumferential direction. As shown in Figure 15 , the stopper portion 62 of each recessed portion 61 is inclined rearward in the radial direction (the plate thickness direction of the shield support member 14) from the radially inner side toward the radially outer side. The left and right surfaces (the surfaces that oppose each other in the left-right direction) of the recessed portion 61 are disposed orthogonally to the stopper portion 62.

[0048] (Housing 15) The housing 15 of the present embodiment 1, although not shown in detail, has an insertion portion 63 that penetrates in the front-rear direction, as shown in Figure 17 . The shield terminal unit 20 is inserted into the insertion portion 63 of the housing 15 from the rear side. The housing 15 has a lance-shaped portion, not shown, that can be latched to the latching protrusion 49 of the second outer conductor terminal 25.

[0049] (Action of the shield connector 10) Hereinafter, the assembly steps of the shield connector 10 will be described. First, as shown in Figure 5As shown, the shield 92 and the internal wires 91 are exposed in front of the sheath 93 by peeling the sheath 93 from the front end of the shielded wire 90. Next, as shown in Figure 6 As shown, the shield support member 14 in an open shape is arranged in front of the sheath 93. In this state, as shown in Figure 7 As shown, the shield support member 14 is crimped so as to surround the outer periphery of the shield 92. Next, as shown in Figure 8 As shown, the front end of the shield 92 is reversed toward the rear so that the folded-back portion 97 of the shield 92 is located on the outer peripheral surface of the shield support member 14. Further, at an appropriate timing, the internal wires 91 are untwisted and the insulating covering 96 is removed so that the core wire 95 is exposed at the front end of the internal wires 91. In addition, the shield support member 14 is located in front of the front end of the sheath 93, and a gap can be formed between the shield support member 14 and the sheath 93.

[0050] Next, as shown in Figure 9 As shown, the inner conductor terminals 11 are electrically and mechanically crimp-connected to the front ends of the internal wires 91. Further, as shown in Figure 10 to Figure 11 As shown, the first dielectric body 16 and the second dielectric body 17 are assembled to the inner conductor terminals 11 arranged in the left-right direction from the top-bottom direction. Thus, the inner conductor terminals 11 are housed in the dielectric body 12 (the first dielectric body 16 and the second dielectric body 17 in the assembled state).

[0051] Then, as shown in Figure 12 As shown, the dielectric body 12 is inserted into the surrounding portion 26 of the first outer conductor terminal 24 from the rear. The dielectric body 12 is caught by the escape-preventing portions 29 and housed in the first outer conductor terminal 24 in an escape-preventing state. Next, as shown in Figure 13 As shown, the second outer conductor terminal 25 in an open shape is arranged in a range from the rear of the first outer conductor terminal 24 to the front end of the sheath 93. In this state, as shown in Figure 14 As shown, the second outer conductor terminal 25 is crimped so as to surround a range from the folded-back portion 97 to the front end of the sheath 93. At this time, as shown in Figure 15 As shown, the cylindrical pieces 55 of the first portion 44 are wound along the outer peripheral surface of the folded-back portion 97 of the shield 92. The cylindrical pieces 55 of the third portion 46 are wound along the outer peripheral surface of the sheath 93.

[0052] The third portion 46 is arranged at the rear end of the shield support member 14 (including the gap that can be formed between the shield support member 14 and the sheath 93). The cylindrical pieces 55 of the third portion 46 are bent along the outer periphery of the rear end of the shield support member 14. At this time, as shown in Figure 15 and Figure 16As shown, the protrusions 51 of the third portion 46 enter the recesses 61 of the shield support member 14. The protrusions 51 are arranged to be spaced apart from the return portions 97 of the shield portions 92 and to be in contact with or close to the inner peripheral portions 98 of the shield portions 92. In addition, the protrusions 51 are arranged in a range from the front end portion of the outer peripheral surface of the sheath 93 to the rear end portion of the shield support member 14. The front end portion of the outer peripheral surface of the sheath 93 is pressed by the protrusions 51 and is compressed and deformed toward the radial inner side. As shown in FIG. 6, the protrusions 51 have pressing surfaces 65 on the inclined surface portions toward the radial inner side, which press the front end portion of the outer peripheral surface of the sheath 93. Figure 15 As shown, the protrusions 51 of the third portion 46 enter the recesses 61 of the shield support member 14. The protrusions 51 are arranged to be spaced apart from the return portions 97 of the shield portions 92 and to be in contact with or close to the inner peripheral portions 98 of the shield portions 92. In addition, the protrusions 51 are arranged in a range from the front end portion of the outer peripheral surface of the sheath 93 to the rear end portion of the shield support member 14. The front end portion of the outer peripheral surface of the sheath 93 is pressed by the protrusions 51 and is compressed and deformed toward the radial inner side. As shown in FIG. 6, the protrusions 51 have pressing surfaces 65 on the inclined surface portions toward the radial inner side, which press the front end portion of the outer peripheral surface of the sheath 93.

[0053] As shown, the protrusions 51 of the third portion 46 enter the recesses 61 of the shield support member 14. The protrusions 51 are arranged to be spaced apart from the return portions 97 of the shield portions 92 and to be in contact with or close to the inner peripheral portions 98 of the shield portions 92. In addition, the protrusions 51 are arranged in a range from the front end portion of the outer peripheral surface of the sheath 93 to the rear end portion of the shield support member 14. The front end portion of the outer peripheral surface of the sheath 93 is pressed by the protrusions 51 and is compressed and deformed toward the radial inner side. As shown in FIG. 6, the protrusions 51 have pressing surfaces 65 on the inclined surface portions toward the radial inner side, which press the front end portion of the outer peripheral surface of the sheath 93. Figure 15 As shown, the protrusions 51 of the third portion 46 enter the recesses 61 of the shield support member 14. The protrusions 51 are arranged to be spaced apart from the return portions 97 of the shield portions 92 and to be in contact with or close to the inner peripheral portions 98 of the shield portions 92. In addition, the protrusions 51 are arranged in a range from the front end portion of the outer peripheral surface of the sheath 93 to the rear end portion of the shield support member 14. The front end portion of the outer peripheral surface of the sheath 93 is pressed by the protrusions 51 and is compressed and deformed toward the radial inner side. As shown in FIG. 6, the protrusions 51 have pressing surfaces 65 on the inclined surface portions toward the radial inner side, which press the front end portion of the outer peripheral surface of the sheath 93.

[0054] The shield wire 90 is drawn out from the shield terminal unit 20 toward the rear. When the shield wire 90 is pulled toward the rear, the shield support member 14 is pulled to be relatively displaced toward the rear from the second outer conductor terminal 25. However, in the case of the present embodiment 1, the relative displacement of the shield support member 14 and the second outer conductor terminal 25 is prevented by the contact of the stop portions 53 of the second outer conductor terminal 25 with the stopped portions 62 of the shield support member 14. Thus, the area in which the third portion 46 contacts the return portions 97 of the shield portions 92 is prevented from being reduced.

[0055] In addition, the protrusions 51 are formed so as to protrude from the third portion 46, and the stop portions 53 constitute the plate thickness surfaces of the protrusions 51. Therefore, even if the stop portions 53 are strongly pressed by the stopped portions 62, the protrusions 51 are less likely to be deformed, and the relative displacement of the shield support member 14 and the second outer conductor terminal 25 can be more reliably prevented. Further, since the gap between the shield support member 14 and the sheath 93 is covered by the third portion 46, the shield portions 92 are prevented from being exposed from the second outer conductor terminal 25 at the time of crimping.

[0056] The shield terminal unit 20 is accommodated in the fitting portion 63 of the housing 15. Before the shield connector 10 is fitted to the counterpart shield connector 100, the stop portions 34 and the peripheral portion 18 of the dielectric body 12 are arranged to be spaced apart in the radial direction in the shield terminal unit 20. As shown in FIG. 6, the stop portions 34 of the shield terminal unit 20 are arranged to be in contact with the peripheral portion 18 of the dielectric body 12. Figure 17When the shield connector 10 is fitted with the counterpart shield connector 100, the counterpart outer conductor terminal 123 of the cover shape is also fitted with the outer periphery side of the first outer conductor terminal 24. At this time, the contact portions 42 of the respective elastic contact portions 39 are in contact with the counterpart outer conductor terminal 123, and the respective elastic contact portions 39 are elastically deformed to the radially inner side. Also, the respective stop portions 34 are elastically deformed to the radially inner side together with the respective elastic contact portions 39, and the respective stop portions 34 are in contact with the peripheral surface portion 18 of the dielectric body 12, as shown in FIG. 6. Figure 17 and Figure 18 As shown in FIG. 6, the peripheral surface portion 18 of the dielectric body 12 is in contact with the elastic contact portions 39 along the front-rear direction and the circumferential direction. By the respective elastic contact portions 39 being in contact with the counterpart outer conductor terminal 123, a pressing force to the radially inner side is applied to the respective stop portions 34, and thus, even if the shield connector 10 is placed under vibration, the state of the respective stop portions 34 being in contact with the peripheral surface portion 18 of the dielectric body 12 can be maintained.

[0057] In the state in which the shield connector 10 is fitted with the counterpart shield connector 100, the separation distance between the tab 112 of the counterpart inner conductor terminal 111 and the respective stop portions 34 is maintained constant in the front-rear direction and the circumferential direction. As a result, the characteristic impedance is also maintained constant.

[0058] The front end of the respective stop portions 34 protrudes forward of the dielectric body 12, and is positioned at the same position as or a close position to the top end surface 124 of the counterpart dielectric body 122 in the front-rear direction. Here, even if the shield wire 90 is pulled rearward or the like, as shown in FIG. 6, the front surface of the front wall portion 22 of the dielectric body 12 moves in a direction away from the top end surface 124 of the counterpart dielectric body 122, and the state of the respective stop portions 34 extending to the vicinity of the top end of the counterpart dielectric body 122 covering the outer periphery of the root portion (the portion of the direction from which the top end surface 124 protrudes) of the tab 112 can be maintained. Therefore, even if the dielectric body 12 is separated from the counterpart dielectric body 122, as shown in FIG. 7, the distance between the tab 112 of the counterpart inner conductor terminal 111 and the respective stop portions 34 can be maintained constant, and the disturbance of the characteristic impedance can be suppressed to be small. Figure 17 Figure 17 and Figure 18 As shown in FIG. 6, the peripheral surface portion 18 of the dielectric body 12 is in contact with the elastic contact portions 39 along the front-rear direction and the circumferential direction. By the respective elastic contact portions 39 being in contact with the counterpart outer conductor terminal 123, a pressing force to the radially inner side is applied to the respective stop portions 34, and thus, even if the shield connector 10 is placed under vibration, the state of the respective stop portions 34 being in contact with the peripheral surface portion 18 of the dielectric body 12 can be maintained.

[0059] ​As described above, the shielded connector 10 of the present embodiment 1 is provided with the inner conductor terminal 11, the dielectric body 12 that surrounds the inner conductor terminal 11, and the plate-shaped outer conductor terminal 13 that surrounds the dielectric body 12. The outer conductor terminal 13 has a plurality of elastic contact portions 39 that are elastically deformable in a radial direction orthogonal to the front-rear direction, and a plurality of slits 36 that are disposed between the plurality of elastic contact portions 39 in a circumferential direction of the outer conductor terminal 13. Each elastic contact portion 39 has a contact portion 42 that protrudes to the radial direction outer side. Each slit 36 extends in the front-rear direction and is open at a front end of the outer conductor terminal 13. The outer conductor terminal 13 has a stop portion 34 between each slit 36, and the stop portion 34 is in contact with a peripheral surface portion 18 of the dielectric body 12 in a state in which the contact portion 42 is in contact with an opposing outer conductor terminal 123.

[0060] In the state in which the contact portion 42 is in contact with the opposing outer conductor terminal 123, the stop portion 34 of the outer conductor terminal 13 is in contact with the peripheral surface portion 18 of the dielectric body 12, and thus the operation of each elastic contact portion 39 can be suppressed, so the distance from the opposing inner conductor terminal 111 in a space disposed radially inward of the stop portion 34 to the outer conductor terminal 13 can be maintained constant in the front-rear direction. Therefore, the amount of change in characteristic impedance can be suppressed, and the transmission characteristics can be improved. In particular, because the stop portion 34 is formed only between each slit 36 of the outer conductor terminal 13, compared with the technology described in U.S. Patent No. 10944218 in which a soldered joint is soldered in order to suppress the amount of change in characteristic impedance, the cost increase can be suppressed.

[0061] The stop portion 34 of the present embodiment 1 is in a straight shape extending in the front-rear direction in a cross-sectional shape along the front-rear direction. Therefore, in the range of the length in which the stop portion 34 extends in the front-rear direction, the characteristic impedance can be effectively suppressed from changing. Also, in the state in which the contact portion 42 is in contact with the opposing outer conductor terminal 123, the stop portion 34 is in surface contact with the peripheral surface portion 18 of the dielectric body 12. Therefore, even if the shielded connector 10 is disposed under vibration, the state in which the stop portion 34 is in contact with the peripheral surface portion 18 of the dielectric body 12 can be more reliably maintained.

[0062] In addition, the stop portion 34 has a portion that protrudes forward of the dielectric body 12 in the assembled state. Therefore, in the state in which the shielded connector 10 and the opposing shielded connector 100 are fitted together, even if a gap in the front-rear direction is generated between the dielectric body 12 and the opposing dielectric body 122 due to the shielded wire 90 being pulled rearward or the like, the portion of the stop portion 34 that protrudes forward of the dielectric body 12 can maintain a state in which the outer periphery of the opposing inner conductor terminal 111 is surrounded at a constant distance. Therefore, between the dielectric body 12 and the opposing dielectric body 122, the characteristic impedance can be more reliably suppressed from changing.

[0063] Further, the shielded connector 10 of the present embodiment 1 includes a shield support member 14 that surrounds the front end portion of the shielded electric wire 90 and an outer conductor terminal 13 that electrically connects with the shield portion 92 of the shielded electric wire 90. The shield support member 14 is held to the shielded electric wire 90. The outer conductor terminal 13 has a first portion 44 that sandwiches the shield portion 92 between the outer periphery of the shield support member 14, a second portion 45 that surrounds the outer periphery of the sheath 93 of the shielded electric wire 90, and a third portion 46 of a surrounding shape that is continuous from the first portion 44 to the second portion 45. The third portion 46 has a hole 52 that extends linearly in the circumferential direction intersecting the front-rear direction, and a protrusion 51 that bulges toward the radially inner side of the third portion 46 in the rear direction of the hole 52. The protrusion 51 has a stop portion 53 that opposes the stopped portion 62 of the shield support member 14 from the rear.

[0064] When a pulling force in the rearward direction is applied to the shielded electric wire 90, the stop portion 53 of the protrusion 51 comes into contact with the stopped portion 62 of the shield support member 14, so relative misalignment between the outer conductor terminal 13 and the shielded electric wire 90 can be prevented. Therefore, the state in which the outer conductor terminal 13 is connected with the shield portion 92 of the shielded electric wire 90 can be stably maintained, and the holding force of the outer conductor terminal 13 holding the shielded electric wire 90 can be obtained.

[0065] In particular, in the third portion 46 of a surrounding shape that is continuous from the first portion 44 to the second portion 45, the stop portion 53 is provided in a shape that bulges toward the radially inner side in the rear direction of the hole 52 that extends linearly in the circumferential direction. Therefore, due to the stop portion 53, a large hole or space is not formed in the outer conductor terminal 13, and exposure of the shield portion 92 from the outer conductor terminal 13 can be suppressed.

[0066] Further, because the stopped portion 62 is inclined toward the outside from the radially inner side of the shield support member 14 in the rearward direction, the state of contact between the stopped portion 62 and the stop portion 53 can be more reliably maintained.

[0067] Further, in the case of the present embodiment 1, the shield support member 14 has a recessed portion 61 that is open at the rear end of the shield support member 14, and the protrusion 51 is disposed in the recessed portion 61. In this way, by disposing the protrusion 51 in the recessed portion 61, the relative positions of the outer conductor terminal 13 and the shield support member 14 can be determined.

[0068] Further, a plurality of recessed portions 61 are provided at intervals along the circumferential direction of the shield support member 14 at the rear end of the shield support member 14. A plurality of protrusions 51 are provided at intervals along the circumferential direction of the third portion 46 at positions in the third portion 46 that correspond to the plurality of recessed portions 61. Thus, when a pulling force in the rearward direction is applied to the shielded electric wire 90, each of the protrusions 51 can come into contact with the shield support member 14 at multiple locations, so relative misalignment between the outer conductor terminal 13 and the shielded electric wire 90 can be more reliably prevented.

[0069] Further, the protrusion 51 has a pressing surface 65 that presses the front end portion of the outer circumferential surface of the sheath 93. In this way, by the pressing surface 65 of the protrusion 51 pressing the front end portion of the outer circumferential surface of the sheath 93, the shielded electric wire 90 can also be prevented from being misaligned in the front direction with respect to the outer conductor terminal 13.
