Patent ID: 7101217

Claim:
A shield connector comprising: a terminal metal piece connected to an electric wire, an outer periphery of the electric wire being covered with an insulating resin cover, the terminal metal piece being accommodated in a housing; a shield shell made of a metal, the shield shell being fixedly attached to a shield member surrounding the electric wire, the shield shell being attached to an outer periphery of the housing; and a member that includes (i) a radial portion that extends radially outward from the electric wire, (ii) an inner cylindrical wall portion that protrudes from the radial portion and extends along an outer periphery of the electric wire and (iii) an outer cylindrical wall portion that protrudes from the radial portion and is substantially concentric with the inner cylindrical wall portion, the outer cylindrical wall portion being spaced from the inner cylindrical wall portion in a radial direction, such that an empty space is defined between the outer cylindrical wall portion and the inner cylindrical wall portion, wherein the outer cylindrical wall portion serves as a protecting member that protects the insulating resin cover against interference with the shield shell when the electric wire is bent to be deviated from a regular wiring path.
