Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present disclosure relates to a shield terminal. [Background technology]

[0002] The shield terminal disclosed in Patent Document 1 includes an inner conductor connected to the core of the shielded electric wire, a dielectric that houses the inner conductor, and a plurality of outer conductors that surround the dielectric. Each outer conductor is composed of a first shell and a second shell that can be connected to each other. The first shell is a member that houses the dielectric. The second shell is attached to the first shell so as to cover an opening that opens in the upper wall of the first shell. The first shell and the second shell have a barrel portion that is connected to the braided wire of the shielded electric wire. The front end of the second shell (see the protruding portion at the left end of the reference numeral 39 in FIG. 13 of Patent Document 1) is bent obliquely downward and enters the inside of the upper wall of the first shell. A gap (slit) in the front-rear direction that may be formed between the upper wall of the first shell and the front end of the second shell is covered by the front end of the second shell (see FIG. 1 of Patent Document 1). This ensures shielding performance against noise. This type of shield terminal is also disclosed in Patent Documents 2-4. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] In general, shield terminals tend to have a large number of components and to be complicated to assemble. For this reason, a method for easily assembling each component using an automated machine or the like is required. However, even if the assembly method is improved, if there is a structure in which gaps are formed between the outer conductors after assembly, this is not preferable in terms of shielding performance.

[0005] In view of the above, an object of the present disclosure is to provide a shield terminal that can improve shielding performance and ease of assembly of components. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] The shielded terminal of the present disclosure is a shielded terminal including a first outer conductor, a second outer conductor connected to the first outer conductor, and a module housed in the first outer conductor, wherein the first outer conductor has a wall facing one side intersecting a front-to-rear direction and an opening opening to the one side behind the wall, the second outer conductor has a covering wall covering the opening, the module has an inner conductor connected to a front end of a shielded wire and a dielectric housing the inner conductor, and is arranged to face the opening, and the covering wall has a second edge portion covering from the one side a first edge portion in the one wall facing the opening. Effect of the Invention

[0007] According to the present disclosure, it is possible to provide a shield terminal that can improve shielding performance and ease of assembly of components. [Brief description of the drawings]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0009] [Description of the embodiments of the present disclosure] First, the embodiments of the present disclosure will be listed and described. The shield terminal of the present disclosure comprises: (1) A shielded terminal comprising 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 a front-to-rear direction and an opening opening to the one side behind the wall, the second outer conductor has a covering wall covering the opening, the module has an inner conductor connected to a front end of a shielded wire and a dielectric accommodating the inner conductor, and is arranged to face the opening, and the covering wall has a second edge portion covering from the one side a first edge portion of the wall facing the opening.

[0010] The second outer conductor can be easily attached to the first outer conductor from one side. When the second outer conductor is attached to the first outer conductor, the second edge of the covering wall covers the first edge of the first wall, thereby filling a gap that may be formed between the covering wall and the first wall. As a result, a shielded terminal that ensures shielding performance while improving assembly can be obtained.

[0011] (2) In the shielded terminal described in (1) above, it is preferable that the second outer conductor has a barrel portion that is crimped and connected to the shield portion of the shielded electric wire, and the first outer conductor has an insertion opening at the rear of the accommodating space that accommodates the module, through which the module can be inserted.

[0012] The module can be inserted into the accommodating space through the insertion hole from the rear of the first outer conductor. This makes it easy to assemble the module 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 hole can be easily formed at the rear of the accommodating space.

[0013] (3) In the shield terminal described in (2) above, it is preferable that the first outer conductor has a pair of first side walls arranged on both the left and right sides of the accommodating space and facing in a direction intersecting the one wall, the first side walls have an elastically deformable locking portion that slopes toward the inside of the first outer conductor from a fulcrum portion toward the front and a notch that opens around the locking portion, the module has a locked portion that is locked to the locking portion when accommodated in the first outer conductor, the second outer conductor has a pair of second side walls protruding from both the left and right ends of the covering wall, and the second side walls are arranged so as to cover the first side walls from the outside of the first outer conductor.

[0014] The module can elastically deform the locking portion during the process of being inserted into the accommodating space of the first outer conductor. When the module is inserted into the accommodating space, the locking portion elastically returns to its original position to lock the locked portion, thereby preventing the module from slipping out of the accommodating space. The cutout portion that opens around the locking portion is closed by the second side wall that covers the first side wall, ensuring shielding performance.

[0015] (4) In the shield terminal described in any one of (1) to (3) above, it is preferable that the first edge portion is shaped to be bent toward the inside of the first outer conductor from the base portion toward the rear, and the second edge portion is arranged facing the first edge portion from the rear.

[0016] The second edge portion is disposed from the rear facing the first edge portion bent inwardly of the first outer conductor, and the second edge portion is not disposed so as to be stacked on the outside of one wall of the first outer conductor. This makes it possible to prevent the formation of a step due to the second edge portion. For example, when the shield terminal is inserted into the housing, it is possible to prevent the second edge portion from interfering with the lance of the housing.

[0017] [Details of the embodiment of the present disclosure] Specific examples of the present disclosure will be described below with reference to the drawings. Note that the present invention is not limited to these examples, but is defined by the claims, and is intended to include all modifications within the meaning and scope of the claims.

[0018] <Embodiment 1> The shield terminal 10 of the first embodiment is a terminal to be connected to a shielded electric wire 90, as shown in FIG. 1. The shield terminal 10 includes a module 60, a first outer conductor 20A, and a second outer conductor 20B, as shown in FIG. 2. The shield terminal 10 is accommodated in a housing 110. The shield terminal 10 and the housing 110 constitute a shielded connector 100. As shown in FIG. 5, the module 60 includes an inner conductor 61 and dielectrics 62A and 62B. In the following description, the front-rear direction refers to the terminal side of the shielded electric wire 90 as the front side. The up-down direction refers to the up-down direction of each drawing. The left-right direction refers to the left-right direction when viewed from the front side. In FIG. 1, the arrows X, Y, and Z respectively indicate the front side, the right side, and the top side.

[0019] (Inner conductor and shielded wire) The inner conductor 61 is made of conductive metal, and although not shown in detail, has an elongated shape in the front-rear direction as a whole. As shown in Fig. 5, 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 configured to include two coated electric wires 92 each having a core wire covered with an insulating coating 91, a sheath 93 covering each coated electric wire 92, and a shield part 94 such as a braided wire located on the inner periphery side of the sheath 93 and surrounding the outer periphery of each coated electric wire 92. The shield part 94 may be configured of a metal foil such as copper foil or aluminum foil, or may be configured of both a braided wire and a metal foil. The front end of the shield part 94 is exposed by stripping the sheath 93 and is folded back to the outer periphery side of the sheath 93. In the case of the first embodiment, the two coated electric wires 92 are twisted pair wires, and are untwisted at a position exposed from the front end of the sheath 93. The front end of each coated electric wire 92 has a core wire exposed by stripping the insulating coating 91. Although not shown, an inner conductor 61 is connected to the core wire exposed at the front end of the coated electric wire 92. Two inner conductors 61 are provided corresponding to each of the covered electric wires 92 .

[0021] (Dielectric) The dielectrics 62A and 62B are made of insulating resin, and as shown in Fig. 5, are configured to have a first dielectric 62A and a second dielectric 62B. The second dielectric 62B is disposed above the first dielectric 62A, and surrounds the main body (excluding the tabs 63) of each inner conductor 61 between the first dielectric 62A and the second dielectric 62B. The inner conductors 61 are accommodated side by side inside the second dielectric 62B. The first dielectric 62A has a side portion 64 that protrudes upward and engages the second dielectric 62B.

[0022] Tabs 63 of the inner conductors 61 are arranged to protrude in front of the dielectrics 62A and 62B. Covered electric wires 92 of the shielded electric wire 90 extend behind the dielectrics 62A and 62B. An upper surface locked portion 65 is recessed on the upper surface of the second dielectric 62B. The upper surface locked portion 65 has a rectangular opening shape in a plan view, and as shown in FIG. 2, an upper surface locking portion 43 of the second outer conductor 20B described later fits inside and can be locked. As shown in FIG. 5, locked portions 66 are recessed on the left and right side surfaces of the second dielectric 62B. The locked portion 66 has a rectangular opening shape in a side view, and an locking portion 34 of the first outer conductor 20A described later fits inside and can be locked.

[0023] Furthermore, rib-shaped stopper portions 67 extending in the up-down direction are provided on the left and right side surfaces of the second dielectric 62B. The stopper portions 67 are arranged side by side with the locked portions 66 at the rear end portions of each side surface of the second dielectric 62B. As will be described later, the stopper portions 67 abut against the rear end of the first outer conductor 20A and serve to stop the insertion of the module 60 into the first outer conductor 20A (see FIG. 7).

[0024] (First outer conductor) The first outer conductor 20A is made of conductive metal and is formed by bending a metal plate by pressing. As shown in Fig. 3, the first outer conductor 20A has a base wall 21 extending in the front-rear direction and arranged with the plate surface facing the up-down direction, an extension part 22 extending rearward from the left-right central part of the rear end of the base wall 21, a pair of first side walls 23 rising from both left and right ends of the base wall 21, and a wall 24 spanning between the upper ends of the front parts of the first side walls 23.

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

[0026] The one side portion 24A and the other side portion 24B are interlocked with each other in a concave-convex manner at a position shifted to one side from the left-right center of the one wall 24. The base wall 21 and the front portions of each of the first side walls 23 and the one wall 24 form a cylindrical portion 26 having a square tube shape at the front portion of the first outer conductor 20A. The one side portion 24A and each of the first side walls 23 are each formed with a resilient contact portion 25 by cutting and raising it inward. Each resilient contact portion 25 is electrically connected to a mating outer conductor (not shown) inserted inside the cylindrical portion 26.

[0027] As shown in Figs. 3 and 9, the first wall 24 has a first edge 28 that extends from a root 27 connected to the rear end of the one side 24A and bends obliquely downward toward the rear. The first edge 28 has a protruding piece shape and protrudes toward an accommodation space 29 described later. As shown in Fig. 3, the first edge 28 is disposed so as to extend long in the left-right direction in a portion of the one wall 24 excluding both left and right ends. The first edge 28 is not formed on the other side 24B side. As shown in Fig. 5, the root 27 of the first edge 28 is bent downward into a curved shape. A second edge 48 described later of the second outer conductor 20B is disposed so as to cover the first edge 28 from above and behind.

[0028] The first outer conductor 20A forms an accommodation space 29 capable of accommodating the module 60 at the rear of the tubular portion 26. The accommodation space 29 is defined by the base wall 21 and the first side walls 23 while communicating with the inside of the tubular portion 26. The rear of the first outer conductor 20A has an opening 31 open above the accommodation space 29. The opening 31 opens in the front-rear direction and is longer than the front-rear length of the one wall 24. As shown in FIG. 9, when the module 60 is accommodated in the accommodation space 29, the upper surface of the second dielectric 62B faces the opening 31. As shown in FIG. 2, the tab 63 of the inner conductor 61 is arranged to protrude inside the tubular portion 26.

[0029] 3 and 6, the rear portion of the first outer conductor 20A has an insertion opening 32, through which the module 60 can be inserted from the rear, open at the rear of the accommodating space 29. The insertion opening 32 communicates with the opening 31 and the accommodating space 29. The rear of the insertion opening 32 is open as an insertion path for the module 60.

[0030] A notch 33 is opened at the rear end of each first side wall 23. A plate portion disposed inside the notch 33 is bent inward (toward the accommodation space 29) at the rear end of each first side wall 23 to form a locking portion 34. The locking portion 34 is shaped to extend while inclining inward as it moves forward from a fulcrum portion 35 located at the rear end of the notch 33. This allows the locking portion 34 to be elastically deformed in the left-right direction with the fulcrum portion 35 as a fulcrum. When the module 60 enters the insertion opening 32 and the locking portion 34 elastically fits into the locked portion 66 of the module 60, the front end of the locking portion 34 faces the front end surface of the locked portion 66 (the surface located at the front end of the locked portion 66 facing rearward) and is capable of contacting the front end surface. This restricts the module 60 from coming out of the accommodation space 29.

[0031] A held portion 36 is formed as an opening between the elastic contact portion 25 and the locking portion 34 in each first side wall 23. The held portions 36 penetrate each first side wall 23 in the left-right direction and are arranged at intervals in the front-rear direction. A holding portion 46 (described later) of the second outer conductor 20B can be locked to 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 pressing. The second outer conductor 20B is attached to the first outer conductor 20A from above (see arrow D in FIG. 8). As shown in FIG. 4, the second outer conductor 20B has a covering wall 37 extending in the front-rear direction and arranged with the plate surface facing the up-down direction, a pair of second side walls 38 protruding downward from both 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 of the second side walls 38, and a barrel portion 41 protruding rearward from the connecting portion 39.

[0033] As shown in Fig. 2, the barrel portion 41 is crimped to the front end of the shielded electric wire 90, and is connected to a shield portion 94 folded back to the outer periphery side of the sheath 93. As shown in Fig. 4, the barrel portion 41 has a pair of crimping pieces 42 (only one is shown in Fig. 4) facing each other in the left-right direction. Each crimping piece 42 receives the shield portion 94 of the shielded electric wire 90 in the open state shown in Fig. 4, and is wound around the outer periphery of the shield portion 94 after crimping. As shown in Fig. 2, the extension portion 22 is sandwiched between the tip of each crimping piece 42 and the shield portion 94.

[0034] As shown in FIG. 9, the covering wall 37 covers the opening 31 and closes the upper part of the accommodating space 29 when attached to the first outer conductor 20A. 2 and 4, a top surface engaging portion 43 that can engage with a top surface engaged portion 65 of the module 60 is cut and raised downward (on the side where the first outer conductor 20A is located) in the center of the covering wall 37. Also, as shown in FIG. 2, a notch 44 that extends in the left-right direction is formed in the front end of the covering wall 37 at a position forward of the top surface engaging portion 43, and a housing engaging portion 45 is formed by bending the front portion of the notch 44 upward. The housing engaging portion 45 is engaged with a lance 111 that is engaged with the housing 110. The shield terminal 10 is engaged with the lance 111 and held in the housing 110 in a non-disconnecting state.

[0035] 1, the second side walls 38 are disposed so as to cover the first side walls 23 from the outside of the first outer conductor 20A. Each second side wall 38 is formed with a holding portion 46 that can be engaged with each held portion 36. Each holding portion 46 protrudes inward (inward in the opposing direction of each second side wall 38) without interruption. Like each held portion 36, each holding portion 46 is disposed at intervals in the front-rear direction.

[0036] A recess 47 is formed in the front end of the covering wall 37. The recess 47 is formed long in the left-right direction in a portion of the front end of the covering wall 37 excluding both left and right ends. A second edge 48 including the inner end of the recess 47 is formed in the front end of the covering wall 37. The second edge 48 is an edge extending in the left-right direction in the front end of the covering wall 37, and is continuous without a step from an adjacent portion of the covering wall 37. The second edge 48 is formed in a range overlapping with the first edge 28 above the first edge 28, as shown by the dotted line in FIG. 9. The housing locking portion 45 is disposed rearward of the second edge 48 and close to the second edge 48.

[0037] As shown in FIG. 9, the second edge 48 has a beveled corner at the lower end thereof. The first edge 28 is fitted into the recess 47 of the cover wall 37 from the front. By fitting the first edge 28 into the recess 47, the second edge 48 is arranged so as to cover the first edge 28 from above and face it from the rear. The second edge 48 is arranged behind the one side 24A of the first wall while covering the first edge 28. The second edge 48 has a thickness equal to or similar to the thickness of the one side 24A, and is arranged in a range where the one side 24A is projected backward. The beveled surface 49 of the second edge 48 is arranged to face the first edge 28 from the diagonal rear and to be close to or in contact with it.

[0038] (Shield terminal function) Next, a description will be given of an example of a procedure for assembling the shield terminal 10. First, a procedure for assembling the module 60 will be described. The two inner conductors 61 are inserted and housed in the second dielectric 62B. Each inner conductor 61 is previously connected to the core of each covered electric wire 92. Next, the first dielectric 62A is placed over the second dielectric 62B, and each inner conductor 61 is sandwiched between the first dielectric 62A and the second dielectric 62B. This completes the module 60.

[0039] Next, the second dielectric 62B is placed above the first dielectric 62A (see FIG. 5). In this state, as shown in FIG. 6, the module 60 is inserted into the accommodation space 29 from the rear of the first outer conductor 20A through the insertion opening 32. The module 60 is moved straight forward along the upper surfaces of the extension portion 22 and the base wall 21 (see arrow F in FIG. 6). In the process of moving the module 60, the second dielectric 62B interferes with the locking portions 34, causing the locking portions 34 to elastically deform outward. When the module 60 reaches a position (position shown in FIG. 7) where it is accommodated in the accommodation space 29, the locking portions 34 elastically return to their original position and fit into the locked portions 66, thereby restricting the module 60 from slipping out rearward and upward from the first outer conductor 20A.

[0040] 7, when the module 60 reaches a position where it is accommodated in the accommodating space 29, the stopper portions 67 abut against the rear end of the first outer conductor 20A, restricting the module 60 from moving forward relative to the first outer conductor 20A. The tabs 63 of the inner conductors 61 are arranged to protrude inward from the tubular portion 26.

[0041] 8, the second outer conductor 20B is placed above the first outer conductor 20A, and in this state, the second outer conductor 20B is pulled straight down along the arrow D. Then, the cover wall 37 covers the opening 31, and the second edge portion 48 covers the first edge portion 28 from above and behind. Also, the barrel portion 41 covers the shield portion 94 of the shielded electric wire 90 from above. By the second edge portion 48 covering the first edge portion 28, a gap that may be formed between the one wall 24 of the first outer conductor 20A and the cover wall 37 of the second outer conductor 20B is filled, and the shielding performance required for this shielded terminal 10 can be ensured. The second outer conductor 20B is held in a state in which it is prevented from slipping out from the first outer conductor 20A by engaging the holding portion 46 with the held portion 36 of the first outer conductor 20A. Thereafter, the barrel portion 41 is crimped to the shield portion 94 of the shielded wire 90. This completes the assembly of the shielded terminal 10. Note that the assembly of the module 60 to the first outer conductor 20A and the assembly of the second outer conductor 20B to the first outer conductor 20A can be easily performed by an automated machine (not shown).

[0042] As described above, according to the first embodiment, the second outer conductor 20B is attached to the first outer conductor 20A from above so that the second edge portion 48 of the covering wall 37 covers the first edge portion 28 of the first wall 24. Then, by having the second edge portion 48 cover the first edge portion 28, it is possible to fill a gap that may be formed between the covering wall 37 and the first wall 24. Therefore, the shield terminal 10 of the first embodiment can ensure shielding performance while improving the ease of assembly of the component.

[0043] Further, the barrel portion 41 is formed in the second outer conductor 20B, and an insertion opening 32 through which the module 60 can be inserted is opened at the rear of the accommodating space 29 of the first outer conductor 20A. Since the module 60 is inserted into the accommodating space 29 from the rear of the first outer conductor 20A through the insertion opening 32, the module 60 can be easily assembled 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 inclined inwardly toward the front from the fulcrum portion 35 and a notch portion 33 opening around the locking portion 34. The module 60 has a locked portion 66 that is locked by the locking portion 34 in a state where the module 60 is accommodated in the first outer conductor 20A, and the second side wall 38 of the second outer conductor 20B is disposed so as to cover the first side wall 23 from the outside of the first outer conductor 20A. With this, when the module 60 is inserted into the accommodation space 29, the locking portion 34 smoothly elastically returns to its original state to lock the locked portion 66, thereby preventing the module 60 from slipping out of the accommodation space 29. In addition, the notch portion 33 opening around the locking portion 34 is covered by the second side wall 38 facing the first side wall 23, so that the shielding performance can be ensured.

[0045] Furthermore, in the case of the first embodiment, the first edge portion 28 is shaped to bend rearward from the base portion 27 toward the inside of the first outer conductor 20A, and the second edge portion 48 is disposed opposite the first edge portion 28 from behind. The second edge portion 48 is disposed facing the first edge portion 28, which is bent inwardly of the first outer conductor 20A, from the rear, and is not disposed so as to be stacked on the outer side of the one wall 24 of the first outer conductor 20A. Therefore, no step is formed due to the second edge portion 48. Therefore, for example, when the shield terminal 10 is inserted into the housing 110, it is possible to prevent the second edge portion 48 from interfering with the lance 111 formed in the housing 110. As a result, it is also possible to improve the ease of assembling the shield terminal 10 to the housing 110.

[0046] [Another embodiment of the present disclosure] The above-described first embodiment disclosed herein should be considered as illustrative in all respects and not restrictive. In the first embodiment, the first edge portion is bent from the base portion toward the rear toward the inside of the first outer conductor. In contrast, in other embodiments, the first edge portion may be shaped to extend straight from the base portion toward the rear. Alternatively, the first edge portion may be formed continuously in the left-right direction at the rear end of the first wall without protruding from the rear end of the first wall. In the above-mentioned embodiment 1, the barrel portion is formed only in the second outer conductor, and the first outer conductor is not formed in the barrel portion. In contrast, according to other embodiments, the first outer conductor may also be formed in the barrel portion. In the first embodiment, the dielectric is configured to be separable into the first dielectric and the second dielectric. In contrast, according to other embodiments, the dielectric may be configured as an integrated body without distinction between the first dielectric and the second dielectric.
