Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] By the way, since the outer terminal of the first connector is connected to the shield of the shielded wire, the connection between the outer terminals of the first connector and the second connector greatly affects the shielding performance of the shield connector. For example, if a gap occurs in a part of the connection location (i.e., between the terminals) of the outer terminals, the shielding performance of the shield connector may deteriorate.

[0005] The present invention has been made in view of the above-described situation, and an object thereof is to provide a shield connector that can suppress a decrease in shielding performance and thus improve shielding performance.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0006] To achieve the aforementioned objectives, the shielded connector according to the present invention is characterized by the following:

[0007] A shielded connector comprising: a first connector connected to the end of a shielded wire having a shield body covering the outer circumference of a wire consisting of a conductor core and an insulating sheath; and a second connector mated with the first connector, The aforementioned connector 1 is, A first inner terminal connected to the aforementioned conductor core wire, A first inner housing that accommodates and holds the first inner terminal, A first outer terminal is formed integrally with a crimping portion connected to the shield body and a cylindrical housing portion that houses and holds the first inner housing, It comprises a first outer housing that accommodates and holds the first outer terminal, The 2nd connector is, The second inner terminal is connected to the first inner terminal, A second inner housing that accommodates and holds the second inner terminal, A second outer terminal having a hood portion into which a part of the housing portion is inserted and which houses and holds the second inner housing, It comprises a second outer housing that is fitted with the first outer housing and houses and holds the second outer terminal, The outer surface of the housing portion is provided with a projection that engages with the first outer housing at a location different from the location where it is inserted into the hood portion. The aforementioned projection is A pair of cut-out pieces, formed by cutting the aforementioned housing portion into an L-shape, are superimposed on each other in the radial direction of the housing portion, Of the pair of cut-out pieces, the portion of the first cut-out piece located radially inward is, The hood portion and the second cut-out piece, which is located radially outward of the pair of cut-out pieces, are arranged to fill the radial gap between them. It must be a shielded connector. [Effects of the Invention]

[0008] In the shield connector with the above configuration, the first bent piece is positioned to fill the radial gap between the hood portion and the second bent piece. For example, if the projection portion does not have a first bent piece (i.e., is composed of only a single bent piece consisting of the second bent piece), a gap will be created between the projection portion and the hood portion, which may reduce the shielding performance of the shield connector. However, by filling this gap with the first bent piece, the shield connector can suppress the reduction in shielding performance and, consequently, improve its shielding performance.

[0009] The present invention has been briefly described above. Furthermore, the details of the present invention will be further clarified by referring to the attached drawings and reading through the embodiments for carrying out the invention described below (hereinafter referred to as "embodiments").

Embodiment for Carrying Out the Invention

[0011] <Embodiment> Hereinafter, with reference to the drawings, the shield connector 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG. 1 and the like will be described. For convenience of explanation, the electrical connection between a plurality of members may be selectively referred to as "conductive connection" and "shield connection".

[0012] Hereinafter, for convenience of explanation, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 11, "front", "rear", "left", "right", "upper" and "lower" are defined. The "front-rear direction", "left-right direction" and "up-down direction" are orthogonal to each other.

[0013] <Shield Connector 1> As shown in FIGS. 1 to 2, the shield connector 1 includes a female connector 2 (corresponding to the "first connector" of the present invention) provided at the terminal portion of the shielded wire 50, and a male connector 3 (corresponding to the "second connector" of the present invention) that is fitted to the female connector 2.

[0014] Note that the shielded wire 50 integrally includes a conductive conductor core wire 51, an insulating coating 52 coated on the outside of the conductor core wire 51, a shield body 53 coated on the outside of the insulating coating 52 and having conductivity, and an insulating sheath 54 coated on the outside of the shield body 53 (see FIG. 6). That is, the shielded wire 50 is configured such that a pair of conductor core wires 51 are each coated with a pair of insulating coatings 52, the shield body 53 collectively coats the pair of insulating coatings 52, and further, the insulating sheath 54 coats the shield body 53.

[0015] <Female Connector 2> The female connector 2 will be described below with reference to Figures 5 to 9. The female connector 2 consists of a shield module 4 and an outer housing 40 (corresponding to the "first outer housing" of the present invention) that houses and holds the shield module 4 (see Figure 5). The shield module 4 consists of an inner terminal 10 (corresponding to the "first inner terminal" of the present invention), an inner housing 20 (corresponding to the "first inner housing" of the present invention), and an outer terminal 30 (corresponding to the "first outer terminal" of the present invention) (see Figure 6). First, the inner terminal 10, inner housing 20, outer terminal 30, and outer housing 40 that constitute the female connector 2 will be described in order.

[0016] First, the inner terminal 10 will be described with reference to Figure 6. The inner terminal 10 is conductive and has the function of being electrically connected to the inner terminal 60 of the male connector 3 (see Figure 3), as well as being electrically connected to the conductor core wire 51 of the shield wire 50. The inner terminal 10 has a box-shaped connection part 11 located at the front end and electrically connected to the mating terminal, and a crimping piece 12 on the rear side of the connection part 11 for crimping the conductor core wire 51. The inner terminal 10 is a female terminal into which the inner terminal 60 (male terminal) is inserted into the hollow part (through hole) of the connection part 11.

[0017] Next, the inner housing 20 will be described with reference to Figure 6. The inner housing 20 has the function of housing and holding the connection portion 11 of the inner terminal 10 and being housed and held by the outer terminal 30, thereby maintaining an insulating state between the inner terminal 10 and the outer terminal 30. The inner housing 20 is made of an insulating synthetic resin having a predetermined dielectric constant and has a roughly rectangular cylindrical main body portion 21. A pair of terminal housing chambers 22 for housing and holding the inner terminal 10 are formed in the main body portion 21 so as to penetrate in the front-rear direction.

[0018] Next, the outer terminal 30 will be described with reference to Figures 6 and 7. The outer terminal 30 is conductive and has the function of housing and holding the inner housing 20, as well as being shielded and connected to the shield body 53 of the shielded wire 50. The outer terminal 30 integrally has a roughly rectangular cylindrical housing portion 31 located at the front end that houses and holds the inner housing 20, and a crimping portion 32 consisting of a pair of crimping pieces 33 and 34 arranged in the front-rear direction behind the housing portion 31 (see Figure 6). The crimping piece 33 has the function of crimping the shield body 53, and the crimping piece 34 has the function of crimping the insulating sheath 54 of the shielded wire 50.

[0019] The upper wall of the housing section 31 is provided with a projection 35 that protrudes upward (see Figures 6 and 7). The projection 35 is composed of a first cut-up piece 36 formed by cutting and bending a part of the upper wall of the housing section 31 into an L shape (so-called L-bending), and a second cut-up piece 37 formed by cutting and bending a part of the upper wall of the housing section 31 into an L shape (see Figures 4 and 7). The first cut-up piece 36 integrally has a first flat plate portion 36a having thickness in the left-right direction and a second flat plate portion 36b having thickness in the up-down direction (see Figure 7). Similarly, the second cut-up piece 37 integrally has a first flat plate portion 37a having thickness in the left-right direction and a second flat plate portion 37b having thickness in the up-down direction (see Figure 7).

[0020] The first cut-out piece 36 and the second cut-out piece 37 (i.e., the projection 35) are arranged such that the first flat portion 36a of the first cut-out piece 36 and the first flat portion 37a of the second cut-out piece 37 are spaced apart in the left-right direction and facing each other, and the second flat portion 36b of the first cut-out piece 36 and the second flat portion 37b of the second cut-out piece 37 are adjacent (overlapping) in the vertical direction (see Figure 7). The projection 35 is locked to the locking lance 43 of the outer housing 40, locking the outer terminal 30 to the outer housing 40 and also serves to improve the shielding performance of the shield connector 1.

[0021] Next, the outer housing 40 will be described with reference to Figures 5 and 8. The outer housing 40 has the function of housing and holding the outer terminal 30 and mating with the outer housing 90 of the male connector 3 (see Figure 3). The outer housing 40 is made of insulating synthetic resin and integrally has a roughly rectangular cylindrical main body 41 and a roughly rectangular cylindrical hood 42 which is positioned in front of the main body 41 and has a larger diameter than the main body 41 (see Figure 5). The hood 42 is inserted into and mated with the outer housing 90.

[0022] The hollow portion of the main body 41 is provided with an elastically deformable cantilever-shaped locking lance 43 (see Figure 8). The locking lance 43 has the function of locking the projection 35 of the outer terminal 30 and holding the outer terminal 30 (i.e., the shield module 4) housed in the outer housing 40 (see also Figure 9).

[0023] An elastically deformable cantilever-shaped locking arm 44 is provided at the upper end of the main body 41. A locking projection 45 that protrudes upward is provided in the area approximately in the front-rear direction center of the locking arm 44. The locking projection 45 engages with the locking portion 93 of the outer housing 90 of the male connector 3 and has the function of locking the outer housing 40 to the outer housing 90.

[0024] The inner terminal 10, inner housing 20, outer terminal 30, and outer housing 40 that constitute the female connector 2 have been described above. Next, the assembly procedure for the inner terminal 10, inner housing 20, outer terminal 30, outer housing 40, and shielded wire 50 will be described.

[0025] First, the front ends of the pair of conductor core wires 51 of the shielded wire 50, which have been terminated, are crimped together with the crimping pieces 12 of the pair of inner terminals 10.

[0026] Next, the pair of inner terminals 10 connected to the shielded wire 50 are inserted from the rear into the pair of terminal housing chambers 22 of the inner housing 20, and then housed and held in place. The retention of the inner terminals 10 in the inner housing 20 may be achieved by press-fitting or by a locking mechanism (not shown).

[0027] Next, the inner housing 20 is inserted into the housing portion 31 of the outer terminal 30, and then the shield wire 50 is crimped using the crimping portion 32. Specifically, the crimping of the shield wire 50 by the crimping portion 32 involves crimping the shield body 53 of the shield wire 50 with the crimping piece 33 and crimping the insulating sheath 54 of the shield wire 50 with the crimping piece 34. This completes the shield module 4 (see Figure 5).

[0028] Next, the shield module 4 is inserted into the outer housing 40 from the rear. This insertion continues until the projection 35 of the outer terminal 30 is locked into the locking lance 43 of the outer housing 40. Once the projection 35 of the outer terminal 30 is locked into the locking lance 43 of the outer housing 40, the shield module 4 is housed and held in the outer housing 40. With this, the assembly of the inner terminal 10, inner housing 20, outer terminal 30, outer housing 40, and shield wire 50 is completed. This completes the female connector 2 (see Figures 2 and 9).

[0029] <Male connector 3> The male connector 3 will be described below with reference to Figures 10 and 11. The male connector 3 consists of a shield module 5 and an outer housing 90 (corresponding to the "second outer housing" of the present invention) that houses and holds the shield module 5. The shield module 5 consists of an inner terminal 60 (corresponding to the "second inner terminal" of the present invention), an inner housing 70 (corresponding to the "second inner housing" of the present invention), and an outer terminal 80 (corresponding to the "second outer terminal" of the present invention). First, the inner terminal 60, inner housing 70, outer terminal 80, and outer housing 90 that constitute the male connector 3 will be described in order.

[0030] First, the inner terminal 60 will be described with reference to Figures 10 and 11. The inner terminal 60 is conductive and is electrically connected to the inner terminal 10 of the female connector 2 (see Figure 3), and also has the function of electrically connecting to the mating connector (not shown). The inner terminal 60 is formed in a substantially L-shape, integrally having a tab-shaped first connector 61 extending in the front-rear direction and a tab-shaped second connector 62 extending in the up-down direction. The inner terminal 60 is a male terminal in which the first connector 61 is inserted into the hollow part (through hole) of the connector 11 in the inner terminal 10, and the second connector 62 is inserted into the hollow part (through hole, not shown) of the mating connector.

[0031] Next, the inner housing 70 will be described with reference to Figures 10 to 11. The inner housing 70 has the function of housing and holding the inner terminal 60 and being housing and holding the outer terminal 80, thereby maintaining an insulating state between the inner terminal 60 and the outer terminal 80. The inner housing 70 is made of an insulating synthetic resin having a predetermined dielectric constant, and integrally comprises a main body portion 71 that houses and holds the second connection portion 62 of the inner terminal 60, and a roughly rectangular cylindrical hood portion 72 that houses and holds the first connection portion 61 of the inner terminal 60.

[0032] Next, the outer terminal 80 will be described with reference to Figures 10 to 11. The outer terminal 80 is conductive and has the function of housing and holding the inner housing 70. The outer terminal 80 integrally comprises a main body portion 81 that houses and holds the main body portion 71 of the inner housing 70, and a hood portion 82 that houses and holds the hood portion 72 of the inner housing 70. The front end of the main body portion 81 is provided with locking projections 83 that protrude from the outer surfaces of both the left and right sides. The locking projections 83 lock onto the locking pieces 92 of the outer housing 90 and have the function of locking the outer terminal 80 to the outer housing 90.

[0033] Next, the outer housing 90 will be described with reference to Figures 10 to 11. The outer housing 90 has the function of housing and holding the outer terminal 80 and mating with the outer housing 40 of the female connector 2 (see also Figure 3). The outer housing 90 is made of insulating synthetic resin and has a roughly rectangular semi-cylindrical main body 91. At the front end of the main body 91, locking pieces 92 are provided on both the left and right sides, corresponding to the locking projection 83 of the outer terminal 80 (see Figure 10). In addition, a locking portion 93 is provided in the hollow portion of the main body 81, corresponding to the locking arm 44 of the female connector 2 (see Figure 11).

[0034] The inner terminal 60, inner housing 70, outer terminal 80, and outer housing 90 that constitute the male connector 3 have been described above. Next, the assembly procedure for the inner terminal 60, inner housing 70, outer terminal 80, and outer housing 90 will be described.

[0035] First, a pair of inner terminals 60 are inserted into the inner housing 20 from the front and then housed and held in place. Specifically, the first connecting portion 61 of the inner terminal 60 is housed and held in the hood portion 72 of the inner housing 70, and the second connecting portion 62 of the inner terminal 60 is housed and held in the main body portion 71 of the inner housing 70. The holding of the inner terminals 60 in the inner housing 70 may be achieved by press-fitting or by a locking mechanism (not shown).

[0036] Next, the inner housing 70 is inserted into the outer terminal 80 from the front and secured and held in place. In the state where the inner housing 70 is held in place by the outer terminal 80, the main body 71 of the inner housing 70 is housed in the main body 81 of the outer terminal 80, and the hood portion 72 of the inner housing 70 is housed in the hood portion 82 of the outer terminal 80 (see Figure 11). This completes the shield module 5.

[0037] Next, the shield module 5 is inserted into the outer housing 90 from the front. This insertion continues until the locking projection 83 of the outer terminal 80 is locked into the locking piece 92 of the outer housing 90. Once the locking projection 83 of the outer terminal 80 is locked into the locking piece 92 of the outer housing 90, the shield module 5 is housed and held in the outer housing 90. Thus, the assembly of the inner terminal 60, inner housing 70, outer terminal 80, and outer housing 90 is completed. This completes the male connector 3 (see Figures 2 and 11).

[0038] <Shielding performance of shielded connector 1> The shielding performance of shield connector 1 will be described below. First, before explaining the shielding performance of shield connector 1, the assembly procedure for female connector 2 and male connector 3 will be explained.

[0039] To assemble the female connector 2 and the male connector 3, first, the female connector 2 and the male connector 3 are positioned corresponding to each other in the front-to-back direction (see Figure 2), and then moved closer together in the front-to-back direction. When movement begins, the outer housing 40 of the female connector 2 is inserted into the outer housing 90 of the male connector 3, and the mating of the outer housings 40 and 90 begins. If movement continues further in this state, the locking arm 44 of the outer housing 40 undergoes elastic deformation, and the locking projection 45 of the outer housing 40 is locked into the locking portion 93 of the outer housing 90 (see Figure 3).

[0040] This allows the outer housing 40 to be fitted into the outer housing 90, completing the assembly of the female connector 2 and the male connector 3. As a result, the shielded connector 1 is completed (see Figures 1 and 3).

[0041] In the assembled state of the female connector 2 and male connector 3, the inner terminal 10 of the female connector 2 and the inner terminal 60 of the male connector 3 are electrically connected, and the outer terminal 30 of the female connector 2 and the outer terminal 80 of the male connector 3 are shielded. Specifically, the first connecting part 61 is inserted into the hollow part of the connecting part 11, thereby electrically connecting the inner terminals 10 and 60 to each other, and the housing part 31 of the outer terminal 30 is inserted into the hood part 82 of the outer terminal 80, thereby shielding the outer terminals 30 and 80 to each other.

[0042] Furthermore, in the assembled state described above, the first bent piece 36 fills the vertical gap S that occurs between the projection 35 (second bent piece 37) and the outer terminal 80 (i.e., the hood portion 82) (see Figure 4). For example, if the projection 35 does not have the first bent piece 36 (i.e., is composed of only the second bent piece 37), a gap S will occur between the projection 35 and the outer terminal 80, which may reduce the shielding performance of the shield connector 1. However, by filling this gap S with the first bent piece 36, the shield connector 1 can suppress the reduction in shielding performance and, consequently, improve its shielding performance.

[0043] <Effects and Actions> As described above, the shield connector 1 according to this embodiment can suppress the deterioration of shielding performance and, consequently, improve shielding performance.

[0044] Furthermore, according to the shield connector 1 of this embodiment, by configuring the projection 35 with a pair of cut-out pieces (first cut-out piece 36 and second cut-out piece 37), the engagement between the projection 35 and the locking lance 43 of the outer housing 40 is increased compared to the case where it is configured with a single cut-out piece. As a result, the shield connector 1 improves the holding force of the outer terminal 30 (i.e., the shield module 4) in the outer housing 40.

[0045] Furthermore, according to the shield connector 1 of this embodiment, since the projection 35 is composed of a pair of cut and bent pieces, the shape of the manufacturing mold for the outer terminal 30 can be simplified and the outer terminal 30 can be made lighter compared to the case where the projection 35 is simply a solid projection. As a result, the manufacturing cost of the outer terminal 30, and consequently the manufacturing cost of the shield connector 1, can be reduced.

[0046] <Other forms> Furthermore, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, and can be modified, improved, etc., as appropriate. In addition, the material, shape, dimensions, number, placement, etc. of each component in the embodiments described above are arbitrary and not limited, as long as they can achieve the present invention.

[0047] Herein, the features of the embodiments of the shielded connector according to the present invention described above are briefly summarized and listed below in [1] and [2].

[0048] [1] A shielded connector (1) comprising a first connector (female connector 2) connected to the end of a shielded wire (50) having a shield body (53) covering the outer circumference of a wire consisting of a conductor core (51) and an insulating coating (52), and a second connector (male connector 3) mated with the first connector, The aforementioned first connector (female connector 2) is, The first inner terminal (10) is connected to the aforementioned conductor core wire, A first inner housing (20) that houses and holds the first inner terminal, A first outer terminal (30) is integrally formed, comprising a crimping portion (32) connected to the shield body and a cylindrical housing portion (31) that houses and holds the first inner housing, It comprises a first outer housing (40) that houses and holds the first outer terminal, The second connector (male connector 3) is, A second inner terminal (60) connected to the first inner terminal, A second inner housing (70) that houses and holds the second inner terminal, A second outer terminal (80) has a hood portion (82) into which a part of the housing portion is inserted and which houses and holds the second inner housing, It has a second outer housing (90) that is fitted with the first outer housing and houses and holds the second outer terminal, The outer surface of the housing portion (31) is provided with a projection (35) that engages with the first outer housing (40) at a location different from the location where it is inserted into the hood portion. The aforementioned projection (35) is A pair of cut-up pieces (first cut-up piece 36, second cut-up piece 37) formed by cutting the housing portion (31) into an L-shape are overlapped by a portion of the housing portion (31) in the radial direction (vertical direction), where the two flat portions (second flat portions 36b, 37b) are superimposed on each other. Of the pair of cut-and-bend pieces, the first cut-and-bend piece (36) located radially inward has a portion (second flat plate portion 36b) which is, The hood portion (82) and the second cut-out piece (37), which is located radially outward of the pair of cut-out pieces, are arranged to fill the radial gap between them. Shielded connector (1).

[0049] In the shield connector configuration described in [1] above, the first bent piece is positioned to fill the radial gap between the hood portion and the second bent piece. For example, if the projection portion does not have a first bent piece (i.e., is composed of only a single bent piece consisting of the second bent piece), a gap will be created between the projection portion and the hood portion, which may reduce the shielding performance of the shield connector. However, by filling this gap with the first bent piece, the shield connector can suppress the reduction in shielding performance and, consequently, improve its shielding performance.

[0051] In the shielded connector with the configuration described in [2] above, a pair of cut-out pieces (a first cut-out piece and a second cut-out piece) are locked to the locking lance of the first outer housing, which increases the engagement between the projection and the locking lance compared to the case where a single cut-out piece is locked. As a result, the shielded connector has improved retention force of the first outer terminal in the first outer housing. [Explanation of Symbols]
