Abstract:
A method of treating an end of a coaxial connector, comprising the steps of:preparing a shield wire consisting of 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: peeling the shield wire partially so as to expose the core, the insulating inner rind and the braided wire; preparing an inner terminal and sequentially press-fitting the inner terminal to the exposed core for electrical connection; preparing an inner housing made of insulating material, the inner housing having an inner terminal accommodating part formed for accommodating the inner terminal inserted thereinto; preparing a shield terminal made of conductive metal, the shield terminal including: a bottom part, a pair of half-box parts formed to stand on both sides of the bottom part integrally and allow of plastic deformation due to press-fitting to their closing position where respective opposing end faces of the half-box parts butt each other; and a pair of press-fitting parts formed to stand on both sides of the bottom part and also configured to be connectable with the exposed braided wire by the press-fitting parts'press-fitting; inserting the inner terminal into the inner housing through a rear opening thereof, thereby completing an inner housing assembly; installing the inner housing assembly into the shield terminal through a clearance between the pair of half-box parts in their opening position; press-fitting the insulating outer rind and the exposed braided wire of the shield wire to the press-fitting parts of the shield terminal by using a press-fitting machine; and simultaneously press-fitting the pair of half-box parts in the opening position thereby to close them by using the press-fitting machine.
