Abstract:
1. A shield connector, comprising: a connector housing which is made of synthetic resin, from which a plurality of wires are drawn out, and which includes a resilient locking piece provided resiliently deformably in a direction intersecting with a draw-out direction in which the plurality of wires are drawn out; a collective shield shell which is made of metal and includes a collective shield connecting portion, which is open in the draw-out direction of the plurality of wires and into which the plurality of wires are collectively inserted, a collective side engaging portion engageable with the resilient locking piece being formed on the collective shield connecting portion; and an individual core shield shell which includes a wall portion arranged to intersect with the draw-out direction of the plurality of wires, a plurality of individual core shield connecting portions, which are open in the draw-out direction of the plurality of wires, being provided on the wall portion, whereby the plurality of wires are individually inserted into the individual core shield connecting portions, and an individual-core side engaging portion, which is an opening edge part of a through hole engageable with the resilient locking piece being formed on the wall portion; wherein the collective shield shell or the individual core shield shell is selectively fixed to the connector housing by resiliently restoring the resiliently deformed resilient locking piece and engaging the resilient locking piece with the collective side engaging portion when the collective shield shell is mounted onto the connector housing or by resiliently restoring the resiliently deformed resilient locking piece and engaging the resilient locking piece with the individual-core side engaging portion when the individual core shield shell is mounted onto the connector housing; the connector housing is formed to be fittable into a mounting hole provided on a case made of metal; each of the collective shield shell and the individual core shield shell is formed with a mounting piece for mounting the shield shell on the case by tightening a bolt into the case in a direction intersecting with a fitting direction of the connector housing; and the resilient locking piece is formed to be resiliently deformable in a direction intersecting with both the fitting direction of the connector housing and a tightening direction of the bolt.
