Abstract:
An end structure for a coaxial connector comprising:a shield wire having a conductive core, an insulating inner rind covering the core, a conductive braided wire covering the insulating inner rind and an insulating outer rind covering the braided wire, the shield wire being partially peeled at an end thereof so as to expose the core, the insulating inner rind and the braided wire;an inner terminal for being press-fitted to the exposed core for electrical connection;an inner housing made of insulating material, the inner housing having an inner terminal accommodating part formed for accommodating the inner terminal inserted thereinto;a shield terminal for being assembled to the inner housing and the exposed braided wire so as to attain an electrical connection with the braided wire, the shield terminal being configured to be connectable with the exposed braided wire by press-fitting of the shield terminal so as to cover at least the inner terminal and the exposed insulating inner rind;wherein the shield terminal includes:a bottom part;a pair of half-box parts formed to stand on both sides of the bottom part integrally and allow plastic deformation due to press-fitting to their closing position where respective opposing end faces of the half-box parts abut each other; anda pair of press-fitting parts formed to stand on both sides of the bottom part also configured to be connectable with the exposed braided wire by press fitting of the press-fitting together;wherein the inner housing, inner terminal and the exposed braided wire's part on the insulating inner rinds side are covered with the pair of half-box parts being deformed to their closing position, while the exposed braided wire is connected to the pair of press-fitting parts by the press-fitting parts being press-fitted to the exposed braided wire; andwherein the inner housing is provided, in the inner terminal accommodating part, with a flexible hook for engagement with the inner terminal.
