Abstract:
A shielded cable connector assembly for a shielded cable including an insulating layer formed on an outer peripheral surface of a conductor and a sheath layer formed on an outer surface of the insulating layer through a braid, said connector assembly comprising;a terminal pressed to grip the conductor and the insulating layer of the shielded cable, thereby providing the terminal with the shielded cable; anda housing body including a terminal receiving chamber operative to receive the terminal with the shielded cable;wherein one side wall of the housing body is notched to form an operation opening at the terminal receiving chamber, a braid contact member projects into the terminal receiving chamber from the operation opening, a size of the braid contact member being smaller than an outer diameter of the shielded cable, and when the terminal with the shielded cable is inserted into the terminal receiving chamber, the braid contact member is automatically inserted between the sheath layer and the insulating layer.
