The present disclosure relates to a connector and a manufacturing method or a connector. The connector includes: a terminal fitting; and a housing holding the terminal fitting. The housing includes a first resin molded body in which at least a part of the terminal fitting is embedded, the first resin molded body being made of a first material, and a second resin molded body in which at least a part of the first resin molded body is embedded, the second resin molded body being made of a second material. The first material has a linear thermal expansion coefficient smaller than that of the second material.

A device direct-mounting shield connector configured to be installed in an opening section in a metal casing, includes a nonconductive connector housing and a metal shield shell. The connector housing has a cylindrical hood section which includes a terminal housing section. The metal shield shell is installed in the connector housing and covers a circumference of the terminal housing section. The shield shell integrally has an exposed section and a fastening section. The exposed section is configured to contact to a shield shell of the mating connector when the mating connector is fitted with the connector housing. The fastening section has a through hole at a rear end side of the connector housing. The shield shell is fastened to the casing by passing a bolt into the through hole and a bolt hole in the casing and by tightening the bolt.

Device direct-mounting shield connector

An attachment structure for directly attaching a shield connector to an opening formed in a metal casing is provided. A shield connector for directly mounting on a device is attached to an opening formed in a metal casing. A connector housing is fastened to the casing with bolts from outside the casing. The opening of the metal casing has a diameter-enlarged portion formed in an end portion of the opening in an outside direction of the casing to be enlarged toward the outside direction. The shield shell has a contact piece at an end portion of the shield shell, and the contact piece is housed in and contacts with the diameter-enlarged portion in a state that the shield connector is attached to the opening.

A female connector includes a female terminal, an inner housing which holds the female terminal, an outer housing relatively movable to the inner housing, tubular first shield shell integrated with the inner housing, and an elastic member which generates a resilient force. The male connector includes a male terminal, a housing which holds the male terminal, and the tubular second shield shell integrated with the housing. First shield shell abuts against the second shield shell on the connector insertion direction side with insertion of the connectors and is pressed against the second shield shell by the resilient force of the elastic member.

Female and male connectors

A connector includes a female terminal; a female housing; a shield shell which is formed in a tubular conductive material in which both ends are opened, the shield shell being integrated with the female housing in a state in which at least one of an outer circumferential side and an inner circumferential side of an end portion on an insertion direction side to the male connector is exposed as an annular exposed surface, and the female terminal and/or the electric wire being disposed inside the shield shell; and a sealing member which has a tubular sealing portion interposed between the male housing of the fitted male connector or the shield shell and the exposed surface as a seal side exposed surface opposed to the male housing or the shield shell, and suppresses entry of liquid therebetween by the sealing member.
