Abstract:
A shielding terminal for connection with an end of a shielded cable, the shielded cable having a core and a shield layer surrounding and spaced from the core, the shielding terminal comprising:an outer terminal configured for connection with the shield layer of the shielded cable; a dielectric element disposed at least partly in the outer terminal, the dielectric element having an inner surface and at least one projection projecting from the inner surface; an inner terminal disposed at least partly in the dielectric element and being configured for connection with the core of the shielded cable, the inner terminal being formed with at least one resilient contact piece for contacting a mating terminal; at least one metal lock formed in an outer surface of the inner terminal; at least one locking hole formed in an inner surface of the dielectric element and configured for engagement by the metal lock; and wherein the at least one projection projecting from the inner surface of the dielectric element at least partly fills a clearance between the inner surface of the dielectric element and the inner terminal in a direction substantially parallel to a resilient deforming direction of the resilient contact piece and for contacting the outer surface on the inner terminal.
