A sleeve () is a hollow cylindrical member provided in a shield terminal (), and pressable by a wire barrel () by being arranged between an insulating portion () and a shield portion () of a shielded cable (). A convex portion () shaped to bulge radially outward over an entire circumference is provided at an intermediate position of the sleeve () in an axial direction. The convex portion () is crushed and elongated by the wire barrel () of an outer conductor terminal (). The insulating portion () can be prevented from being excessively compressed.

Sleeve and shield terminal manufacturing method

A shield terminal () includes an inner conductor terminal (), an outer conductor terminal (), a dielectric () and a capacitor serving as an electronic element (). The outer conductor terminal () surrounds the inner conductor terminal () and is connected to a shield portion () of a shielded cable (). The dielectric () is arranged between the inner conductor terminal () and the outer conductor terminal (). The electronic element () includes a core connecting portion () to be connected to a core () of the shielded cable () and an inner conductor connecting portion () to be connected to the inner conductor terminal (). In the shield terminal (), an insulating short circuit preventing member () is arranged between the core connecting portion () and the outer conductor terminal ().

Shield terminal

A shield terminal () includes an inner conductor terminal () and an outer conductor terminal () surrounding the inner conductor terminal () and having a tubular fitting portion (to which a mating outer conductor () is fit. The tubular fitting portion () includes butting edges () to be butted against each other on both circumferential edge parts (A,B), fixed contact point portions () formed to have an embossed shape in a butting-side half circumference portion (C), the fixed contact point portions () contacting the mating outer conductor (), and resilient contact portions () formed by cutting and raising parts of an opposite-side half circumference portion (C) on a side opposite to the butting-side half circumference portion (C), the resilient contact portions () resiliently contacting the mating outer conductor ().
