A shield connector for a shielded cable including a shielding conductor provided on an outer periphery of a core wire through an insulator, and a sheath covering an outer periphery of the shielding conductor, the shield connector includes an inner metal terminal which connects to the core wire of the shielded cable, a tubular resin sleeve which receives the inner metal terminal therein and has an opening portion, a tubular outer metal terminal which receives the resin sleeve therein, has an opening portion, and is adapted to be connected to the shielding conductor. A press-contacting blade is provided on the inner metal terminal, and is adapted to be brought into press-contacting connection with the core wire from an upper side through the opening of the outer metal terminal and the opening of the resin sleeve. A support wall is formed integrally with the resin sleeve, and is disposed adjacent to the press-contacting blade of the inner metal terminal in a state that the inner metal terminal is received in the resin sleeve. The support wall has a guide portion for guiding the core wire into a central slot of the press-contacting blade by contacting the core wire before the press-contacting blade contacts the core wire when the core wire is to be press-fitted into the central slot from the upper side.

Shield connector

In an optical fiber connector,, optical fibers,are inserted respectively into ferrules,to form optical fiber plugs,, and distal end portions of the optical fiber plugs,are inserted into a connector housing,, and a holder,is fitted on the connector housing from rear end portions of the optical fiber plugs. The optical fiber connector,is fitted into a light receiving-emitting device,, so that distal end surfaces of the optical fiber plugs are kept spaced a predetermined distance respectively from light receiving-emitting elements received within the light receiving-emitting device. The holder includes insertion holes,for respectively passing the optical fibers therethrough in a direction of insertion of the optical fiber plugs, and introduction notches,communicating respectively with the insertion holes in a direction intersecting the inserting direction. A ferrule-pressing member,is mounted on the optical fiber plugs so as to spring-bias the optical fiber plugs, fitted respectively into the insertion holes through the respective introduction notches after the distal end surfaces of the optical fibers are polished, toward the connector housing.
