Patent ID: 8052466

Claim:
An outer conductor terminal of a shielded connecter that is connected to an end of a shielded cable having a shielded conductor that covers an outer surface of a signal wire and a sheath that covers an outer surface of the shielded conductor, the outer conductor terminal comprising: upper and lower shielded conductor crimping portions arranged to be crimped onto the shielded conductor that is exposed by stripping the sheath at the end of the shielded cable, wherein the shielded conductor crimping portions are crimped such that the upper shielded conductor crimping portion overlaps the lower shielded conductor crimping portion, upper and lower shielded conductor crimping portions arranged to be crimped onto the shielded conductor that is exposed by stripping the sheath at the end of the shielded cable, wherein a crimp section is arranged in a middle between the upper and lower shielded conductor crimping portions and has an opening along a longitudinal direction of the upper and lower shielded conductor crimping portions, and the shielded conductor crimping portions are crimped such that the upper shielded conductor crimping portion overlaps the lower shielded conductor crimping portion; wherein a tapered surface is formed on an outer surface at a tip of the lower shielded conductor crimping portion, and reticulated knurling grooves are formed on all of an inner surface of the lower shielded conductor crimping portion other than a portion that corresponds to the tapered surface on the outer surface at the tip of the lower shielded conductor crimping portion, and reticulated knurling grooves are formed on an inner surface of the upper shielded conductor crimping portion other than a portion that is placed on the lower shielded conductor crimping portion, and a tapered surface that can slide on the tapered surface on the outer surface of the lower shielded conductor crimping portion is formed on the inner surface of the upper shielded conductor crimping portion other than a portion on which the reticulated knurling grooves are formed.
