Patent ID: 8052472

Claim:
A structure for mounting a shield connector into a conductive mating member formed with a mounting recess, the shield connector comprising: a housing with a base mounted into the mating member and being bolt-fastened to a peripheral edge of the mounting recess from the a first side so that a surface of the base closely contacts the mating member, a connector fitting projecting from the base in a longitudinal direction orthogonal to the base, and a mounting projection projecting from a side of the base substantially in the longitudinal direction and fittable into the mounting recess; a seal to be compressed in a direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction; at least one terminal mounted into a tube of the connector fitting; at least one nut accommodating portion recessed in the mounting projection of the housing and opening in a surface facing a wall of the mounting recess; at least one nut mounted in the nut accommodating portion; and a tubular shield shell mounted to surround the terminal mounted in the tube of the connector fitting, a connecting portion at least partly closing the opening of the nut accommodating portion and overlapping the nut; and a bolt inserted through the wall of the mounting recess and the connecting portion from a second side substantially opposite to the first side and tightened into the nut for fastening the shield shell of the shield connector having the connecting portion to the wall of the mounting recess and grounding to the mating member.
