Abstract:
A shield connector comprising:a connector housing adapted to accommodate a distal end portion of a shielded electric wire provided with a metal terminal so as not to drop out; a shield shell adapted to cover the metal terminal; a connecting member adapted to electrically connect the shield shell to a shield layer of the shielded electric wire which is exposed from an outer coating of the shielded electric wire; a rubber plug which is fitted to an intermediate portion of the shielded electric wire and is in tight contact with the connector housing so as to close a wire insertion inlet formed in the connector housing through which the shielded electric wire is inserted; and an underlying member formed of a metal plate curved in a U-shape, caulked and fixed to the outer coating of the shielded electric wire in a state where the outer coating is disposed inside the underlying member, wherein the shield layer is folded back over the outer coating to dispose the underlying member between the shield layer and the outer coating so as to clamp the shield layer between the underlying member and the connecting member.
