Abstract:
1. A shield connector to be connected to a terminal of a shield electric cable having a core wire covered with a shield member via insulation, the shield connector comprising: an inner terminal connected to an end of the core wire and provided with an electric connecting portion electrically connected with a mating terminal; an insulation inner housing to receive therein the inner terminal; and an outer terminal into which the insulation inner housing receiving therein the inner terminal is incorporated, and which is to be mated with a mating connector in a state where the shield member is connected to the outer terminal and the electric connecting portion of the inner terminal is positioned in the outer terminal, wherein the outer terminal has the same configuration as that of an outer terminal of the mating connector, thus making the outer terminals, sharable between male and female connectors, wherein the outer terminal includes: wherein the cylindrical portion includes a first semi-cylindrical wall formed with a slit and a second semi-cylindrical wall opposing the first semi-cylindrical wall, the outer terminal of the shield connector and the outer terminal of the mating connector are mated with each other in an upside-down mating state of the shield connector with the mating connector, the first semi-cylindrical wall of the outer terminal of the shield connector is positioned inside a second semi-cylindrical wall of the outer terminal of the mating connector, and a first semi-cylindrical wall of the outer terminal of the mating connector is positioned inside the second semi-cylindrical wall of the outer terminal of the shield connector.
