The male connector serves in itself as a shielding shell by forming the cylindrical hood portion with a conductive aluminium sleeve , and leakage of noises from the slit of the shielding shell as in the conventional arrangement may be avoided since the hood portion encloses completely around the male terminal fitting , thereby improving the shielding property.

Shielded connector

A female connector is provided with a guide protrusion portion so as to cover a tip face of a female side shield shell, and when a male side shield shell is butted against an inclined face provided in the guide protrusion portion and pushed thereto, it proceeds toward an outer edge side of a tip face of the female side shield shell by being guided by the inclined face. Here, since the guide protrusion portion is provided in a female side connector housing of the female connector, a large guidable range can be ensured without being limited due to a wall thickness dimension of the shield shell.

Shield connector for minimizing assembly error with a connector housing

A retainer,comprises a pair of half members,U and,L connected to each other by a hinge,When the retainer,is fitted to a housing,in a state where the half members,U and,L are combined, the retainer,retains rubber caps,from the rear so as to restrict the disengagement of the rubber caps,Restricting portions,U,,U,,L and,L are formed on abutment surfaces,U,U,U,L,L,and,L,of the half members,U and,L, respectively. When the half members,U and,L are combined, the restricting portions,U,,U,,L and,L are retained by the restricting portions on the mating half member, so that the relative displacement of the pair of half members,U and,L in directions along abutment surfaces,U,U,U,L,L,and,L,can be restricted.

Waterproof connector

In the shielding connector, a plurality of angular-shaped elastic tongue pieces,are provided on and projected inwardly from the upper and lower surfaces of the rear end portion of a prismatic-shaped shielding shell,which is so disposed as to cover a shielding wire,to be inserted into a housing,; and, when the shell connecting portion,of a shell connecting terminal,is held by and between the upper and lower elastic tongue pieces,, then they can be connected together electrically. To the shielding wire,, there are sequentially connected the shell connecting terminal,and flat type male terminal,. Since the shell connecting portion,of the shell connecting terminal,is formed in an annular shape, the shell connecting portion,has no insertion direction limit with respect to the elastic tongue pieces,. Thanks to this, when connecting the flat type male terminal,to the shielding wire,, there is eliminated the need to pay special attention to the connecting position of the shell connecting terminal,in the peripheral direction thereof. This makes it possible to simplify the terminal connecting operation.

Shielding connector

A breaker device having tension coil springs that, while moving together with a moving electrode, are extended and contracted, and the resilient restoring force of these springs becomes maximum halfway along a path of movement thereof. When the moving electrode is disposed on the connection side of this maximum position, the tension coil springs urge the moving electrode in a connecting direction. When the moving electrode is disposed on the disconnection side, the tension coil springs urge the moving electrode in a disconnecting direction. When the moving electrode is in a properly-connected condition or a completely-disconnected condition, the urging force of the tension coil springs is decreased. A lock for holding the moving electrode in either the connected condition or the disconnected condition may also be provided.
