Abstract:
1. An electric connector assembly kit to be assembled onto an end of a shielded cable comprising an inner wire being an inner conductor covered by an inner insulating coating, an outer conductor covering the inner wire, and an outer insulating coating covering the outer conductor, said electric connector assembly kit comprising; with reference to a depth direction, a width direction, and a height direction all being perpendicular to each other, a wire holder having an insulating holder housing being provided with a groove-shaped wire holding part for holding the inner wire being exposed from the outer conductor at the end of the shielded cable and extending substantially in the depth direction, and a conductive barrel contact being fixed to the holder housing and being provided with a barrel being formed substantially into a U-shape when seen in the depth direction on the front side in the depth direction of the wire holding part of the holder housing for crimping the outer conductor exposed from the outer insulating coating at the end of the shielded cable; a connector body having an insulating body housing having a fitting part for fitting with a counterpart electric connector, a conductive contact being provided on the body housing and being to be connected to the inner conductor at the end of the shielded cable and to contact the contact of the counterpart electric connector, and a conductive plate-shaped plug shell being arranged on a lower side of the body housing to cover at least a part of the body housing, being fixed onto the body housing, and being provided with a supporting piece rising on a front side in the depth direction of the body housing and extending toward a higher side edge and being provided with a U-shaped slot concaving substantially in a U-shaped form when seen in the depth direction from the higher side edge of the supporting piece toward the lower side and being to receive the conductive barrel crimped on the outer conductor a lower circumferential half of the conductive barrel contacting the U-shaped slot and an upper circumferential half of the conductive barrel protruding toward the higher side from the supporting piece; and a conductive plate-shaped plug cover shell having a coupling piece having a width substantially corresponding to the part between the U-shaped slots in the supporting piece of the plug shell and extending from the front side in the depth direction toward the lower side; said electric connector assembly kit being structured that the inner wire of the end of the shielded cable being fitted and held in the wire holding part of the wire holder and the outer conductor being crimped by the conductive barrel, the connector body being set on the lower side of the wire holder, the inner conductor of the inner wire being connected to the contact and the conductive barrel being press-fitted in the U-shaped slot, the plug cover shell being set on the higher side of the wire holder and fitted with the barrel, and the top end of the coupling piece extending toward the lower side between the U-shaped slots and being bent toward a back side of the conductive plate-shape plug shell in the depth direction and hooked on the plug shell from the lower side to assemble onto the end of the shielded cable.
