Patent ID: 7708591

Claim:
A shield connector for a shielded cable including a shielding conductor provided on an outer periphery of a core wire through an insulator, and a sheath covering an outer periphery of the shielding conductor, the shield connector comprising: an inner metal terminal which connects to the core wire of the shielded cable: a tubular resin sleeve which receives the inner metal terminal therein, and has an opening portion; a tubular outer metal terminal which receives the resin sleeve therein, has an opening portion, and is adapted to be connected to the shielding conductor, wherein a press-contacting blade is provided on the inner metal terminal, and is adapted to be brought into press-contacting connection with the core wire from an upper side through the opening portion of the outer metal terminal and the opening portion of the resin sleeve; wherein a support wall is formed integrally with the resin sleeve, and is disposed adjacent to the press-contacting blade of the inner metal terminal in a state that the inner metal terminal is received in the resin sleeve; wherein the support wall has a guide portion for guiding the core wire into a central slot of the press-contacting blade by contacting the core wire before the press-contacting blade contacts the core wire when the core wire is to be press-fitted into a central slot from the upper side; and wherein the guide portion includes a groove and an inclined surface formed at an inlet of the groove.
