この例示の電気接続部11は、雄型に形成する。この電気接続部11は、2つの平らな壁面(第1壁面11a、第2壁面11b)を有する平板状に形成する(図9)。ここでは、電気接続部11を矩形の平板状に形成しており、第1壁面11aと第2壁面11bとが平行状態で対向配置されている。この電気接続部11は、その第1壁面11aと第2壁面11bの内の少なくとも一方を相手方端子110との物理的且つ電気的な接続が成される接点部として利用する。ここでは、後述するように相手方端子110が2つの電気接続部(第1電気接続部121、第2電気接続部122)を有しているので、それぞれの電気接続部に対して電気的に接続されるように、第1壁面11aと第2壁面11bとを各々接点部として利用する。   The electrical connection 11 in this example is formed in a male shape. The electric connection portion 11 is formed in a flat plate shape having two flat wall surfaces (a first wall surface 11a and a second wall surface 11b) (FIG. 9). Here, the electrical connection portion 11 is formed in a rectangular flat plate shape, and the first wall surface 11a and the second wall surface 11b are arranged to face each other in a parallel state. The electrical connection portion 11 uses at least one of the first wall surface 11a and the second wall surface 11b as a contact portion for making a physical and electrical connection with the counterpart terminal 110. Here, as will be described later, since the counterpart terminal 110 has two electric connection portions (the first electric connection portion 121 and the second electric connection portion 122), the opposite terminal 110 is electrically connected to each electric connection portion. As described above, the first wall surface 11a and the second wall surface 11b are used as contact portions.

この例示の電線接続部12は、電線Weの端末に対して物理的且つ電気的に接続する。この電線接続部12は、電線Weの端末に対して、加締め等で圧着されるものであってもよく、溶接等で固着されるものであってもよい。この例示の電線接続部12は、電線Weの端末に圧着している。   The illustrated electric wire connection unit 12 physically and electrically connects to a terminal of the electric wire We. The wire connection portion 12 may be crimped to the end of the wire We by crimping or the like, or may be fixed by welding or the like. The illustrated wire connection portion 12 is crimped to the end of the wire We.

この例示の端子金具10においては、電気接続部11における対向配置された一方の端部11c側が先端となり、他方の端部11d側に電線接続部12が配置されている(図6から図9)。   In the terminal fitting 10 of this example, one end 11c side of the electric connection portion 11 opposed to the end portion is the tip, and the wire connection portion 12 is arranged on the other end 11d side (FIGS. 6 to 9). .

この例示の端子金具10は、電線接続部12に物理的且つ電気的に接続された電線Weの端末の軸線方向に沿う仮想軸線Pを有しており(図8及び図9)、その仮想軸線Pに沿って、先端から、後述する被保持部13、電気接続部11、電線接続部12の順に配置されている。   This exemplary terminal fitting 10 has a virtual axis P along the axial direction of the terminal of the electric wire We physically and electrically connected to the electric wire connection portion 12 (FIGS. 8 and 9), and the virtual axis thereof. Along the P, from the tip, a held portion 13, an electric connection portion 11, and an electric wire connection portion 12, which will be described later, are arranged in this order.

具体的に、電気接続部11は、その仮想軸線Pに沿う方向(以下、単に「軸線方向」という。)に延在させている。この電気接続部11においては、その軸線方向における一端が上記の一方の端部11cとなり、その軸線方向における他端が上記の他方の端部11dとなる(図8及び図9)。また、この電気接続部11は、その対向配置された2つの端部11c,11dとは別の対向配置された2つの端面(第1端面11e、第2端面11f)を有する(図8)。その第1端面11eと第2端面11fは、端子金具10の軸線方向と第1及び第2の壁面11a,11bに対する直交方向とに各々直交する方向において、平行状態で対向配置されている。この電気接続部11においては、仮想軸線Pを中心とする第1端面11e側と第2端面11f側とが各々同一形状の略矩形の平板を成している。   Specifically, the electrical connection portion 11 extends in a direction along the virtual axis P (hereinafter, simply referred to as “axial direction”). In the electrical connection portion 11, one end in the axial direction is the one end 11c, and the other end in the axial direction is the other end 11d (FIGS. 8 and 9). The electrical connection portion 11 has two end faces (first end face 11e and second end face 11f) arranged opposite to the two end parts 11c and 11d arranged opposite to each other (FIG. 8). The first end face 11e and the second end face 11f are arranged in parallel to face each other in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the terminal fitting 10 and the direction perpendicular to the first and second wall surfaces 11a and 11b. In the electric connection portion 11, the first end face 11e and the second end face 11f with respect to the imaginary axis P form substantially rectangular plates having the same shape.

本実施形態のコネクタ1は、この端子金具10を例えば極数毎に備えている。ここでは、端子金具10が2つ設けられている(図5)。尚、このコネクタ1については、同一の端子金具10を筐体20に複数備えるものとして示しているが、この例示の端子金具10とこの例示の端子金具10とは別の形状の端子金具とが混在するものであってもよい。   The connector 1 of the present embodiment includes the terminal fittings 10 for each pole number, for example. Here, two terminal fittings 10 are provided (FIG. 5). The connector 1 is shown as being provided with a plurality of identical terminal fittings 10 in the housing 20. However, the example terminal fitting 10 and a terminal fitting having a different shape from the example terminal fitting 10 are different from each other. They may be mixed.

続いて、本実施形態の筐体20について説明する。   Subsequently, the housing 20 of the present embodiment will be described.

本実施形態の筐体20は、端子金具10が収容される収容体20Aを備える(図2から図5及び図10)。更に、本実施形態の筐体20は、その収容体20Aから電線Weの端末までの間を内方に収めて外方から覆うシールドシェル20Bを備える(図1から図5)。また更に、本実施形態の筐体20は、収容体20Aからの端子金具10の抜けを電線We側で抑える保持部材20Cを備える(図4及び図5)。   The housing 20 of the present embodiment includes a housing 20A in which the terminal fitting 10 is housed (FIGS. 2 to 5 and 10). Further, the housing 20 of the present embodiment includes a shield shell 20B that accommodates the space from the container 20A to the terminal of the electric wire We inside and covers it from the outside (FIGS. 1 to 5). Furthermore, the housing 20 of the present embodiment includes a holding member 20C that suppresses the detachment of the terminal fitting 10 from the housing 20A on the electric wire We side (FIGS. 4 and 5).

先ずは収容体20Aについて説明する。   First, the container 20A will be described.

収容体20Aは、合成樹脂等の絶縁性材料で成形する。この収容体20Aは、電気接続部11を内方の後述する収容空間33に収容すると共に、電線接続部12を外方に突出させる。本実施形態の収容体20Aは、第1収容部材30と第2収容部材40とに大別される(図2から図5及び図10)。   The container 20A is formed of an insulating material such as a synthetic resin. The container 20A accommodates the electric connection portion 11 in an accommodation space 33 described below and makes the electric wire connection portion 12 protrude outward. The container 20A of the present embodiment is roughly divided into a first container 30 and a second container 40 (FIGS. 2 to 5 and 10).

第1収容部材30は、筒軸方向における少なくとも一端を開口させた筒体に成形する。故に、この第1収容部材30は、筒状の外周壁31を有する(図3から図5及び図10)。この例示の第1収容部材30は、外周壁31を角筒状に形成すると共に、筒軸方向における一端を開口させ且つ他端を閉塞させている。この第1収容部材30においては、その一端の開口32(図2、図4及び図10)から相手方端子110が筒軸方向に沿って内方の収容空間33(図2及び図10)に挿入される。但し、厳密に云うと、相手方端子110は、後述するように、第2収容部材40を介して開口32から収容空間33に挿入される。   The first housing member 30 is formed into a cylindrical body having at least one end opened in the cylindrical axis direction. Therefore, the first housing member 30 has the cylindrical outer peripheral wall 31 (FIGS. 3 to 5 and 10). In the first housing member 30 of this example, the outer peripheral wall 31 is formed in a rectangular cylindrical shape, and one end in the cylinder axis direction is opened and the other end is closed. In the first housing member 30, the counterpart terminal 110 is inserted into the inner housing space 33 (FIGS. 2 and 10) from the opening 32 (FIGS. 2, 4 and 10) at one end thereof along the cylinder axis direction. Is done. However, strictly speaking, the counterpart terminal 110 is inserted into the housing space 33 from the opening 32 via the second housing member 40 as described later.

外周壁31においては、その開口32側の端部が相手方コネクタ101の後述するコネクタ嵌合部153eとの嵌合部(コネクタ嵌合部)31aになる(図4及び図10)。コネクタ嵌合部153eは、そのコネクタ嵌合部31aの内方に挿入嵌合される。尚、コネクタ嵌合部31aの外周面には、環状のシール部材Se1が同心上で取り付けられている(図4、図5及び図10)。   In the outer peripheral wall 31, the end on the opening 32 side becomes a fitting portion (connector fitting portion) 31a of the mating connector 101 with a connector fitting portion 153e described later (FIGS. 4 and 10). The connector fitting portion 153e is inserted and fitted inside the connector fitting portion 31a. An annular seal member Se1 is concentrically attached to the outer peripheral surface of the connector fitting portion 31a (FIGS. 4, 5, and 10).

外周壁31は、端子金具10を電気接続部11側の先端から収容空間33に挿入する挿入孔34を有する(図5及び図10)。この例示の第1収容部材30は、電気接続部11を内方の収容空間33に収容する一方、電線接続部12を挿入孔34から外方に突出させている(図4)。   The outer peripheral wall 31 has an insertion hole 34 for inserting the terminal fitting 10 into the housing space 33 from the front end on the side of the electrical connection portion 11 (FIGS. 5 and 10). In the illustrated first housing member 30, the electric connection portion 11 is housed in the inner housing space 33, while the wire connection portion 12 is projected outward from the insertion hole 34 (FIG. 4).

ここで、挿入孔34は、端子金具10毎に設ける。よって、この例示の外周壁31には、2つの挿入孔34が形成されている(図5及び図10)。それぞれの挿入孔34は、それぞれの端子金具10が、互いの軸線方向を同じ向きにして挿入されるように形成及び配置する。つまり、ここでは、端子金具10の軸線方向が収容空間33への端子金具10の挿入方向(以下、「端子挿入方向」という。)となる。更に、それぞれの挿入孔34は、それぞれの端子金具10が、電気接続部11の第1及び第2の端面11e,11fを外周壁31の筒軸方向に向けた状態(つまり、電気接続部11の第1及び第2の壁面11a,11bを外周壁31の筒軸方向に沿わせた状態)で挿入されるように形成及び配置する。   Here, the insertion hole 34 is provided for each terminal fitting 10. Therefore, two insertion holes 34 are formed in the outer peripheral wall 31 in this example (FIGS. 5 and 10). The respective insertion holes 34 are formed and arranged so that the respective terminal fittings 10 are inserted with their respective axial directions being the same. That is, here, the axial direction of the terminal fitting 10 is the direction in which the terminal fitting 10 is inserted into the accommodation space 33 (hereinafter, referred to as “terminal insertion direction”). Furthermore, each of the insertion holes 34 has a state in which each of the terminal fittings 10 has the first and second end surfaces 11 e and 11 f of the electrical connection portion 11 oriented in the cylinder axis direction of the outer peripheral wall 31 (that is, the electrical connection portion 11). (In a state where the first and second wall surfaces 11a and 11b are arranged along the cylinder axis direction of the outer peripheral wall 31).

この例示の第1収容部材30は、その挿入孔34を介した端子金具10の収容空間33への挿入を案内するガイド部35を有する(図4及び図10)。例えば、挿入孔34は、外周壁31の筒軸方向における他端の壁体36にまで続いている。よって、ガイド部35は、その壁体36の収容空間33側の壁面36aに設けている。このガイド部35は、端子金具10毎に設ける。よって、この例示の壁面36aには、ガイド部35が2箇所に設けられている。   The illustrated first housing member 30 has a guide portion 35 for guiding the insertion of the terminal fitting 10 into the housing space 33 through the insertion hole 34 (FIGS. 4 and 10). For example, the insertion hole 34 continues to the wall 36 at the other end of the outer peripheral wall 31 in the cylinder axis direction. Therefore, the guide portion 35 is provided on the wall surface 36 a of the wall body 36 on the side of the housing space 33. The guide portion 35 is provided for each terminal fitting 10. Therefore, the guide portion 35 is provided at two places on the illustrated wall surface 36a.

この例示のガイド部35は、その壁面36aから外周壁31の筒軸方向に突出させ、かつ、端子挿入方向に延在させた突出部35aを2つ備える(図10)。それぞれの突出部35aは、互いに間隔を空けて対向配置する。その間隔は、電気接続部11の収容空間33への挿入を阻害しない範囲内で、この電気接続部11の板厚と同等の大きさに設定する。よって、このガイド部35においては、それぞれの突出部35aの間に、端子挿入方向に沿う溝(以下、「ガイド溝」という。)35bが形成される(図4及び図10)。端子金具10においては、そのガイド溝35bに沿って、一方の端部11c側から電気接続部11が案内されていく。また、ガイド溝35bは、上記の如く電気接続部11の板厚と同等の大きさに設定することによって、それぞれの突出部35aの間での電気接続部11のがたつきを抑えることができる。尚、この例示のガイド溝35bの溝底35bは、壁面36aよりも開口32側に底上げされている(図4)。 The illustrated guide portion 35 has two protruding portions 35a that protrude from the wall surface 36a in the cylinder axis direction of the outer peripheral wall 31 and extend in the terminal insertion direction (FIG. 10). The respective protruding portions 35a are opposed to each other with an interval therebetween. The interval is set to a size equal to the thickness of the electric connection portion 11 within a range that does not hinder insertion of the electric connection portion 11 into the accommodation space 33. Therefore, in the guide portion 35, a groove (hereinafter, referred to as a “guide groove”) 35b along the terminal insertion direction is formed between the respective projecting portions 35a (FIGS. 4 and 10). In the terminal fitting 10, the electrical connection portion 11 is guided from one end 11c side along the guide groove 35b. Further, by setting the guide groove 35b to the same size as the plate thickness of the electric connection portion 11 as described above, the rattling of the electric connection portion 11 between the respective projecting portions 35a can be suppressed. . Incidentally, the groove bottom 35b 1 of the exemplary guide groove 35b is raised on the opening 32 side of the wall surface 36a (FIG. 4).

更に、この例示のガイド部35は、挿入孔34から挿入された電気接続部11の一方の端部11c側をガイド溝35bまで案内するガイド壁面35cを有する(図4及び図10)。そのガイド壁面35cは、電気接続部11の一方の端部11c側を壁面36aからガイド溝35bの溝底35bまで案内する傾斜面である。 Furthermore, this exemplary guide portion 35 has a guide wall surface 35c that guides one end 11c side of the electrical connection portion 11 inserted from the insertion hole 34 to the guide groove 35b (FIGS. 4 and 10). The guide wall surface 35c is an inclined surface that guides one end 11c side of the electrical connection portion 11 from the wall surface 36a to the groove bottom 35b1 of the guide groove 35b.

第2収容部材40は、第1収容部材30の収容空間33の形状に合わせた多面体に成形する(図10及び図11)。そして、この第2収容部材40は、第1収容部材30の開口32から筒軸方向に沿って収容空間33に収容する(図2、図4、図5及び図10)。この第2収容部材40は、収容空間33への収容が完了している状態で、自らの内方に端子金具10の電気接続部11を収容する(図4)。   The second housing member 40 is formed into a polyhedron that matches the shape of the housing space 33 of the first housing member 30 (FIGS. 10 and 11). Then, the second housing member 40 is housed in the housing space 33 from the opening 32 of the first housing member 30 along the cylinder axis direction (FIGS. 2, 4, 5, and 10). The second housing member 40 houses the electrical connection portion 11 of the terminal fitting 10 in its own state in a state where the housing in the housing space 33 is completed (FIG. 4).

この第2収容部材40は、収容空間33で電気接続部11が収容される端子収容室41を有する(図4、図5及び図10から図12)。その端子収容室41は、第2収容部材40が収容空間33に挿入されていくにつれて、収容空間33に収容されている電気接続部11を開口41a(図5、図10及び図11)から収容し始める。そして、この端子収容室41は、第2収容部材40の収容空間33への収容が完了すると、電気接続部11の収容を完了させる。よって、第2収容部材40は、外周面側で端子収容室41を自らの外方に連通させる切欠き部42を有している(図5、図10及び図11)。電線接続部12は、その切欠き部42から第2収容部材40の外方に突出させる。その切欠き部42は、電線接続部12を第1収容部材30の挿入孔34から外方に突出させるように、第2収容部材40が収容空間33に収容されている状態で挿入孔34に対向配置させる。   The second housing member 40 has a terminal housing chamber 41 in which the electrical connection portion 11 is housed in the housing space 33 (FIGS. 4, 5, and 10 to 12). As the second housing member 40 is inserted into the housing space 33, the terminal housing chamber 41 houses the electrical connection portion 11 housed in the housing space 33 from the opening 41a (FIGS. 5, 10 and 11). Begin to. When the housing of the second housing member 40 in the housing space 33 is completed, the housing of the electrical connection portion 11 is completed in the terminal housing chamber 41. Therefore, the second housing member 40 has the notch 42 that allows the terminal housing chamber 41 to communicate with the outside on the outer peripheral surface side (FIGS. 5, 10, and 11). The electric wire connection part 12 is projected from the notch part 42 to the outside of the second housing member 40. The notch 42 is inserted into the insertion hole 34 in a state where the second accommodation member 40 is accommodated in the accommodation space 33 so that the electric wire connection portion 12 projects outward from the insertion hole 34 of the first accommodation member 30. They are arranged facing each other.

端子収容室41には、コネクタ1と相手方コネクタ101の嵌合(以下、「コネクタ嵌合」という。)が完了した際に、相手方端子110の後述する第1及び第2の電気接続部121,122並びに2つの接点部材130が収容される。この端子収容室41においては、それぞれの接点部材130が電気接続部11の第1壁面11aと第2壁面11bとに各々接触し、その相互間を物理的且つ電気的に接続させる。よって、第2収容部材40は、その相手方端子110を端子収容室41に挿入するための端子挿入口43を有している(図2、図3、図10及び図12)。その端子挿入口43は、第2収容部材40が収容空間33に収容されている状態で第1収容部材30の開口32側に配置されるように形成し、外周壁31の筒軸方向で端子収容室41に対向配置させる。従って、この端子挿入口43には、収容空間33に収容された電気接続部11の第1端面11eと第2端面11fの内の何れか一方が対向配置される。   When the fitting of the connector 1 and the mating connector 101 (hereinafter referred to as “connector mating”) is completed in the terminal accommodating chamber 41, first and second electrical connection portions 121, described later, of the mating terminal 110 are provided. 122 and two contact members 130 are accommodated. In this terminal accommodating chamber 41, each contact member 130 comes into contact with the first wall surface 11a and the second wall surface 11b of the electric connection portion 11, respectively, and connects them physically and electrically. Therefore, the second housing member 40 has the terminal insertion opening 43 for inserting the counterpart terminal 110 into the terminal housing chamber 41 (FIGS. 2, 3, 10, and 12). The terminal insertion opening 43 is formed so as to be arranged on the opening 32 side of the first housing member 30 in a state where the second housing member 40 is housed in the housing space 33, and the terminal is inserted in the cylinder axis direction of the outer peripheral wall 31. It is arranged to face the accommodation room 41. Therefore, one of the first end face 11 e and the second end face 11 f of the electric connection portion 11 accommodated in the accommodation space 33 is opposed to the terminal insertion opening 43.

この第2収容部材40は、端子収容室41と端子挿入口43とを外周壁31の筒軸方向で連通させる連通室44を有する(図2、図3、図10及び図12)。よって、電気接続部11においては、端子収容室41に収容された際に、第1端面11eと第2端面11fの内の一方が連通室44を介して端子挿入口43に対向配置される。   The second housing member 40 has a communication chamber 44 that allows the terminal housing chamber 41 and the terminal insertion opening 43 to communicate with each other in the axial direction of the outer peripheral wall 31 (FIGS. 2, 3, 10, and 12). Therefore, in the electrical connection part 11, when housed in the terminal housing chamber 41, one of the first end face 11 e and the second end face 11 f is arranged to face the terminal insertion port 43 via the communication chamber 44.

この第2収容部材40は、作業者等の手指が端子挿入口43を経て電気接続部11に接触せぬように手指を止める接触防止部45を有する(図2から図4、図10及び図12)。その接触防止部45は、端子挿入口43を介して手指が電気接続部11に届くことがないように形成及び配置する。例えば、接触防止部45は、端子挿入口43に対向配置された電気接続部11の端面(第1端面11e又は第2端面11f)の少なくとも一部を外周壁31の筒軸方向で端子挿入口43側から覆うように配置する。また、この接触防止部45は、相手方端子110の端子収容室41への挿入を阻害せぬよう連通室44に設ける。   The second housing member 40 has a contact prevention portion 45 for stopping a finger of an operator or the like so that the finger does not come into contact with the electrical connection portion 11 via the terminal insertion port 43 (FIGS. 2 to 4, 10, and 10). 12). The contact prevention part 45 is formed and arranged so that a finger does not reach the electric connection part 11 through the terminal insertion opening 43. For example, the contact prevention unit 45 may be configured to connect at least a part of the end face (the first end face 11 e or the second end face 11 f) of the electric connection unit 11 arranged to face the terminal insertion port 43 in the cylinder axis direction of the outer peripheral wall 31. It is arranged to cover from the 43 side. Further, the contact prevention portion 45 is provided in the communication chamber 44 so as not to hinder the insertion of the counterpart terminal 110 into the terminal accommodating chamber 41.

この例示の接触防止部45は、2つの平らな壁面を有する平板状に形成して、その2つの壁面が外周壁31の筒軸方向に沿うよう連通室44に形成する。ここでは、接触防止部45を矩形の平板状に形成している。そして、この接触防止部45は、電気接続部11の第1及び第2の壁面11a,11bに対する直交方向で、連通室44が2つの部屋に分割されるように配置している。つまり、連通室44は、接触防止部45によって、その直交方向で第1分割連通室44aと第2分割連通室44bとに区分けされている(図2、図3、図10及び図12)。更に、ここでは、端子挿入口43についても、接触防止部45によって、その直交方向で第1分割挿入口43aと第2分割挿入口43bとに区分けされている(図2、図3、図10及び図12)。従って、相手方端子110の後述する第1電気接続部121は、第1分割挿入口43aと第1分割連通室44aとを介して端子収容室41に挿入される。また、相手方端子110の後述する第2電気接続部122は、第2分割挿入口43bと第2分割連通室44bとを介して端子収容室41に挿入される。   The illustrated contact prevention portion 45 is formed in a flat plate shape having two flat wall surfaces, and the two wall surfaces are formed in the communication chamber 44 so as to extend along the cylinder axis direction of the outer peripheral wall 31. Here, the contact prevention portion 45 is formed in a rectangular flat plate shape. And this contact prevention part 45 is arrange | positioned so that the communication room 44 may be divided into two rooms in the orthogonal direction with respect to the 1st and 2nd wall surfaces 11a and 11b of the electrical connection part 11. FIG. That is, the communication chamber 44 is divided into the first divided communication chamber 44a and the second divided communication chamber 44b in the orthogonal direction by the contact prevention unit 45 (FIGS. 2, 3, 10, and 12). Further, here, the terminal insertion port 43 is also divided into a first divided insertion port 43a and a second divided insertion port 43b in the orthogonal direction by the contact preventing portion 45 (FIGS. 2, 3, and 10). And FIG. 12). Therefore, a first electrical connection portion 121 of the counterpart terminal 110, which will be described later, is inserted into the terminal accommodating chamber 41 via the first divided insertion opening 43a and the first divided communication chamber 44a. Further, a second electric connection portion 122 of the counterpart terminal 110, which will be described later, is inserted into the terminal accommodating chamber 41 via the second divided insertion opening 43b and the second divided communication chamber 44b.

この例示では、後述する一対の第1電気接続部121及び一方の接点部材130の組み合わせ並びに第1収容体151が、第1分割挿入口43aから第1分割連通室44aに挿入された後、端子収容室41に挿入される。その端子収容室41では、その一方の接点部材130が電気接続部11の第1壁面11aに接触し、この電気接続部11を第1電気接続部121に電気的に接続させる。また、この例示では、後述する一対の第2電気接続部122及び他方の接点部材130の組み合わせ並びに第2収容体152が、第2分割挿入口43bから第2分割連通室44bに挿入された後、端子収容室41に挿入される。その端子収容室41では、その他方の接点部材130が電気接続部11の第2壁面11bに接触し、この電気接続部11を第2電気接続部122に電気的に接続させる。よって、第2収容部材40においては、これらの挿入が行えるように、第1分割挿入口43aと第2分割挿入口43bと第1分割連通室44aと第2分割連通室44bと接触防止部45とを形成及び配置する。   In this example, after a combination of a pair of first electrical connection portions 121 and one contact member 130, which will be described later, and the first container 151 are inserted into the first divided communication chamber 44a from the first divided insertion port 43a, the terminal It is inserted into the accommodation room 41. In the terminal accommodating chamber 41, one of the contact members 130 contacts the first wall surface 11 a of the electric connection portion 11, and electrically connects the electric connection portion 11 to the first electric connection portion 121. Further, in this example, after the combination of the pair of second electrical connection portions 122 and the other contact member 130 described later and the second container 152 are inserted into the second divided communication chamber 44b from the second divided insertion opening 43b. Is inserted into the terminal accommodating chamber 41. In the terminal accommodating chamber 41, the other contact member 130 comes into contact with the second wall surface 11 b of the electric connection portion 11, and electrically connects the electric connection portion 11 to the second electric connection portion 122. Therefore, in the second accommodation member 40, the first divided insertion port 43a, the second divided insertion port 43b, the first divided communication chamber 44a, the second divided communication chamber 44b, and the contact prevention section 45 are inserted so that these can be inserted. Are formed and arranged.

この第2収容部材40は、電気接続部11が端子収容室41から抜け出ぬように端子金具10の被保持部13(図3、図4及び図6から図9)を保持する端子保持部46を有している(図4及び図11)。その端子保持部46は、被保持部13を保持することで、電気接続部11が端子収容室41から抜け出さないように形成する(図4)。その被保持部13と端子保持部46は、端子金具10の先端側と根元側の内の少なくとも一方を保持し得るように形成及び配置する。但し、この例示の端子金具10においては、電線接続部12を収容体20Aの外方に突出させている。よって、被保持部13の配置場所としての端子金具10の根元側とは、電気接続部11の電線接続部12側の端部11dのことをいう。例えば、ここでは、被保持部13を端子金具10の先端に被挿入部として形成し、かつ、端子保持部46を第2収容部材40の収容空間33への挿入と共に被保持部13に挿入される挿入部として形成する。そして、被保持部13と端子保持部46は、収容空間33に対する端子金具10の端子挿入方向への動きと、その端子挿入方向とは逆方向に向けた端子金具10の動きと、を係止するように形成する。   The second housing member 40 has a terminal holding portion 46 for holding the held portion 13 (FIGS. 3, 4, and 6 to 9) of the terminal fitting 10 so that the electric connection portion 11 does not come out of the terminal housing chamber 41. (FIGS. 4 and 11). The terminal holding part 46 is formed so as to hold the held part 13 so that the electrical connection part 11 does not come out of the terminal accommodating chamber 41 (FIG. 4). The held portion 13 and the terminal holding portion 46 are formed and arranged so as to be able to hold at least one of the tip side and the base side of the terminal fitting 10. However, in the terminal fitting 10 of this example, the electric wire connection portion 12 is projected outward of the housing 20A. Therefore, the base side of the terminal fitting 10 where the held part 13 is arranged refers to the end 11 d of the electric connection part 11 on the wire connection part 12 side. For example, here, the held portion 13 is formed as an inserted portion at the tip of the terminal fitting 10, and the terminal holding portion 46 is inserted into the held portion 13 together with the insertion of the second housing member 40 into the housing space 33. It is formed as an insertion portion. The held portion 13 and the terminal holding portion 46 lock the movement of the terminal fitting 10 in the terminal insertion direction with respect to the housing space 33 and the movement of the terminal fitting 10 in the direction opposite to the terminal insertion direction. It is formed so that

具体的に、この例示の被保持部13は、電気接続部11の先端(一方の端部11c)から仮想軸線Pに沿って突出させたT字体に形成する。この被保持部13は、電気接続部11の第1壁面11aと同一平面上に配置されたT字状の第1壁面13a(図6、図8及び図9)と、電気接続部11の第2壁面11bと同一平面上に配置されたT字状の第2壁面13b(図7及び図9)と、を有している。また、この被保持部13は、仮想軸線P上に中心軸を配置したT字の軸部13cと、この軸部13cの先端で軸部13cに直交させた交差部13dと、を有している(図6から図9)。この被保持部13は、電気接続部11の一方の端部11cとの間で形成される切欠き状の溝部13e(図4及び図6から図9))を被挿入部として利用するものである。その溝部13eは、仮想軸線Pを中心にした2箇所に形成されている。   Specifically, the held portion 13 in this example is formed in a T-shape protruding along the virtual axis P from the tip (one end portion 11c) of the electrical connection portion 11. The held portion 13 includes a T-shaped first wall surface 13 a (FIG. 6, FIG. 8, and FIG. 9) disposed on the same plane as the first wall surface 11 a of the electric connection portion 11, And a T-shaped second wall surface 13b (FIGS. 7 and 9) disposed on the same plane as the second wall surface 11b. Further, the held portion 13 has a T-shaped shaft portion 13c having a central axis disposed on the virtual axis line P, and an intersecting portion 13d perpendicular to the shaft portion 13c at the tip of the shaft portion 13c. (FIGS. 6 to 9). The held portion 13 uses a notched groove 13e (FIGS. 4 and 6 to 9) formed between the one end portion 11c of the electric connection portion 11 as an inserted portion. is there. The grooves 13e are formed at two places around the virtual axis P.

この例示の被保持部13は、軸線方向と第1及び第2の壁面13a,13bに対する直交方向とに各々直交する方向で、仮想軸線Pを中心とする双方の形状が同一のものとなるように形成している。よって、この被保持部13は、双方の溝部13eを被挿入部として利用することができる。例えば、端子金具10は、端子収容室41で第1端面11eが端子挿入口43に対向配置されている場合、2つの溝部13eの内の一方が被挿入部として利用される。また、端子金具10は、端子収容室41で第2端面11fが端子挿入口43に対向配置されている場合、2つの溝部13eの内の他方が被挿入部として利用される。   In the illustrated example of the held portion 13, both shapes centering on the virtual axis P are the same in directions orthogonal to the axial direction and the orthogonal directions to the first and second wall surfaces 13 a and 13 b. Is formed. Therefore, the held portion 13 can use both the groove portions 13e as the inserted portion. For example, when the terminal fitting 10 has the first end face 11e facing the terminal insertion opening 43 in the terminal accommodating chamber 41, one of the two grooves 13e is used as an inserted part. In the terminal fitting 10, when the second end face 11f is arranged to face the terminal insertion opening 43 in the terminal accommodating chamber 41, the other of the two groove portions 13e is used as an inserted portion.

端子保持部46は、第2収容部材40が収容空間33に収容されている状態で、その被保持部13の溝部13eに挿入する。この例示では、端子収容室41を成す壁部41bに、外周壁31の筒軸方向に沿って切り欠いた切欠き状の溝部41bを形成している(図11)。この例示の端子保持部46は、その溝部41bの底部側を頂点とする壁部41bの残存部位を被保持部13への挿入部として利用する。この例示の被保持部13と端子保持部46においては、第2収容部材40が収容空間33に挿入されていくにつれて、溝部13e,41b同士の嵌め合いが始まる。そして、この被保持部13と端子保持部46においては、第2収容部材40の収容空間33への収容の完了と共に、壁部41bの残存部位の溝部13eへの挿入が完了し、端子収容室41で電気接続部11を収容状態のまま保持することができる。 The terminal holding portion 46 is inserted into the groove 13 e of the held portion 13 in a state where the second housing member 40 is housed in the housing space 33. In this example, the wall portion 41b forming the terminal receiving chamber 41, to form a notch-shaped groove 41b 1 which notched along the tube axis direction of the outer peripheral wall 31 (FIG. 11). In the illustrated terminal holding portion 46, the remaining portion of the wall portion 41 b having the bottom portion of the groove portion 41 b 1 as an apex is used as an insertion portion into the held portion 13. In this illustrative of the held portion 13 and the terminal holding portion 46, as the second housing member 40 is gradually inserted into the accommodation space 33, the groove 13e, 41b 1 between mating begins a. In the held portion 13 and the terminal holding portion 46, the insertion of the remaining portion of the wall portion 41b into the groove portion 13e is completed with the completion of the housing of the second housing member 40 in the housing space 33, and the terminal housing chamber. At 41, the electrical connection portion 11 can be held in the housed state.

ここで、被保持部13においては、壁部41bの残存部位が溝部13eへと挿入されているときに、交差部13dが第2収容部材40の外周面よりも外方に配置される(図3及び図4)。そこで、この収容体20Aにおいては、第1収容部材30の内周面と第2収容部材40の外周面との間に環状の隙間21を設けている(図3及び図4)。その隙間21の間隔は、交差部13dの配置が可能である一方、作業者等の手指が入り得ない大きさとする。このコネクタ1においては、その隙間21に配置された交差部13dを利用して導通チェックを行うことができる。   Here, in the held portion 13, when the remaining portion of the wall portion 41b is inserted into the groove portion 13e, the intersecting portion 13d is arranged outside the outer peripheral surface of the second housing member 40 (FIG. 3 and FIG. 4). Therefore, in the housing 20A, an annular gap 21 is provided between the inner peripheral surface of the first housing member 30 and the outer peripheral surface of the second housing member 40 (FIGS. 3 and 4). The interval between the gaps 21 is set to a size that allows the arrangement of the intersection 13d, but does not allow a finger of an operator or the like to enter. In this connector 1, a continuity check can be performed by using the intersection 13d arranged in the gap 21.

ところで、先に示したガイド部35においては、それぞれの突出部35aの間で電気接続部11のがたつきを抑えることができる。そして、電気接続部11は、第2収容部材40が収容空間33に収容されている状態で、第1端面11eと第2端面11fの内の一方がガイド溝35bの溝底35bに対向配置され、その内の他方が接触防止部45の端面45a(端子挿入口43側とは逆側の端面)に対向配置されている(図4)。よって、第1収容部材30と第2収容部材40は、相互間での収容が完了している状態で、その溝底35bと端面45aとで電気接続部11を挟持させるように形成してもよい。つまり、第1収容部材30と第2収容部材40は、相互間での収容が完了している状態で、電気接続部11を挟み込んで保持するように形成してもよい。これにより、このコネクタ1は、端子保持部46による端子収容室41での電気接続部11の抜け防止効果を高めることができると共に、端子収容室41での電気接続部11のがたつきを抑えることができる。従って、このコネクタ1は、耐振性を高めることができ、かつ、相手方コネクタ101との間での嵌合作業性を向上させることができる。この例示のコネクタ1においては、かかる効果を得るべく、後述するように、第1収容部材30と第2収容部材40を筒軸方向の軸力でシールドシェル20Bに共締めしている。 By the way, in the above-described guide portion 35, it is possible to suppress the rattling of the electric connection portion 11 between the respective projecting portions 35a. The electrical connections 11, in a state where the second housing member 40 is received in the receiving space 33, facing the groove bottom 35b 1 of one guide groove 35b of the first end surface 11e and the second end surface 11f The other of them is arranged to face the end face 45a of the contact prevention section 45 (the end face opposite to the terminal insertion port 43 side) (FIG. 4). Thus, the first housing member 30 and the second housing member 40 in a state where housing between each other has been completed, formed so as to sandwich the electrical connecting portion 11 between the groove bottom 35b 1 and the end face 45a Is also good. That is, the first housing member 30 and the second housing member 40 may be formed so as to sandwich and hold the electric connection portion 11 in a state where the housing between the first housing member 30 and the second housing member 40 is completed. Thereby, this connector 1 can enhance the effect of preventing the electrical connection portion 11 from being detached from the terminal accommodating chamber 41 by the terminal holding portion 46 and suppress the rattling of the electric connection portion 11 in the terminal accommodating chamber 41. be able to. Therefore, this connector 1 can improve the vibration resistance, and can improve the workability of fitting with the mating connector 101. In this exemplary connector 1, in order to obtain such an effect, the first housing member 30 and the second housing member 40 are jointly fastened to the shield shell 20B with an axial force in the cylinder axis direction, as described later.

この第2収容部材40においては、端子収容室41と切欠き部42と端子挿入口43と連通室44と接触防止部45と端子保持部46の組み合わせを端子金具10毎に設ける。それぞれの組み合わせは、複数の端子金具10が互いの軸線方向及び収容空間33に対する端子挿入方向を同じ向きにして収容されるように配置する。この例示では、その組み合わせが2組設けられている。その内の一方の組み合わせは、端子金具10の電気接続部11が、第1端面11eを端子挿入口43に対向配置させた状態(つまり、第1及び第2の壁面11a,11bを外周壁31の筒軸方向に沿わせた状態)で端子収容室41に収容されるように形成及び配置する。この端子収容室41には、第1端面11e側から電気接続部11が挿入されていく。また、他方の組み合わせは、端子金具10の電気接続部11が、第2端面11fを端子挿入口43に対向配置させた状態(つまり、第1及び第2の壁面11a,11bを外周壁31の筒軸方向に沿わせた状態)で端子収容室41に収容されるように形成及び配置する。この端子収容室41には、第2端面11f側から電気接続部11が挿入されていく。   In the second housing member 40, a combination of the terminal housing chamber 41, the notch 42, the terminal insertion opening 43, the communication chamber 44, the contact prevention part 45, and the terminal holding part 46 is provided for each terminal fitting 10. In each combination, the plurality of terminal fittings 10 are arranged so as to be accommodated in the same axial direction and the terminal insertion direction with respect to the accommodation space 33. In this example, two combinations are provided. One of the combinations is a state in which the electric connection portion 11 of the terminal fitting 10 has the first end face 11e disposed facing the terminal insertion opening 43 (that is, the first and second wall surfaces 11a and 11b are connected to the outer peripheral wall 31). (In the axial direction of the cylinder). The electric connection portion 11 is inserted into the terminal accommodating chamber 41 from the first end face 11e side. The other combination is a state in which the electrical connection portion 11 of the terminal fitting 10 has the second end face 11f opposed to the terminal insertion opening 43 (that is, the first and second wall surfaces 11a and 11b are connected to the outer peripheral wall 31). It is formed and arranged so as to be accommodated in the terminal accommodating chamber 41 in a state of being aligned along the cylinder axis direction). The electric connection portion 11 is inserted into the terminal accommodating chamber 41 from the second end face 11f side.

次に、シールドシェル20Bについて説明する。   Next, the shield shell 20B will be described.

シールドシェル20Bは、第1収容部材30と第2収容部材40とが組み付けられた収容体20Aから電線Weの端末までの間での外部からのノイズの侵入を抑制する第1シールド部材である。このシールドシェル20Bは、その間を内方に収めて外方から覆う。このシールドシェル20Bは、金属等の導電性材料で成形する。このシールドシェル20Bは、開口32側を露出させつつ収容体20Aを外方から覆う主シールド体51と、挿入孔34から収容体20Aの外方に突出している電線接続部12と電線Weの端末とを外方から覆う副シールド体52と、を有する(図1から図5、図13及び図14)。   The shield shell 20B is a first shield member that suppresses intrusion of noise from outside between the housing 20A in which the first housing member 30 and the second housing member 40 are assembled and the terminal of the electric wire We.

The seal member Se1 is in close contact with the inner peripheral surface of the outer peripheral wall 51a in a state where the first housing member 30 is housed in the housing space 51c, and improves the liquid tightness between the connector fitting portion 31a and the main shield body 51. (FIG. 4).

外周壁51aは、第1収容部材30が収容空間51cに収容された状態で挿入孔34に対向配置される貫通孔51aを有する(図14)。その貫通孔51aは、端子金具10毎に設ける。この例示では、貫通孔51aが2つ設けられている。 The outer peripheral wall 51a has a through hole 51a 1 of the first housing member 30 is opposed to the insertion hole 34 in a state of being accommodated in the accommodating space 51c (Fig. 14). The through hole 51a 1 is provided for each terminal fitting 10. In this illustration, the through-holes 51a 1 is provided with two.

副シールド体52は、端子金具10毎に設ける。よって、ここでは、この副シールド体52を2つ設けている。この副シールド体52は、両端を開口させた筒状に形成する。この例示の副シールド体52は、円筒状に形成している。このシールドシェル20Bにおいては、主シールド体51の貫通孔51aの周縁部から副シールド体52を主シールド体51の外方に向けて突出させる。この例示の副シールド体52は、筒軸方向が端子挿入方向に沿うように突出させている。この副シールド体52においては、自由端側の開口52aから端子金具10が内方の収容空間52bに挿入される(図5)。その端子金具10は、主シールド体51の貫通孔51aと第1収容部材30の挿入孔34を介して先端から収容空間33に挿入される。 The sub shield body 52 is provided for each terminal fitting 10. Therefore, two sub-shields 52 are provided here. This sub-shielding body 52 is formed in a cylindrical shape with both ends opened. This exemplary sub-shield body 52 is formed in a cylindrical shape. In the shield shell 20 </ b> B, the sub-shield 52 is projected outward from the main shield 51 from the periphery of the through hole 51 a 1 of the main shield 51. This exemplary sub-shielding body 52 is protruded such that the cylinder axis direction is along the terminal insertion direction. In the sub-shielding body 52, the terminal fitting 10 is inserted into the inner accommodating space 52b from the opening 52a on the free end side (FIG. 5). The terminal fitting 10 is inserted into the housing space 33 from the tip via the through hole 51 a 1 of the main shield body 51 and the insertion hole 34 of the first housing member 30.

このシールドシェル20Bは、並列配置された隣り合う2つの副シールド体52を繋ぐ連結体53を有する(図2から図5及び図13)。その連結体53は、並列配置された隣り合う2つの副シールド体52を少なくとも繋ぐものであればよく、全ての副シールド体52(例えば、3つの副シールド体52)を繋ぐものであってもよい。この例示の連結体53は、並列配置された隣り合う2つの副シールド体52の間に介在させている。この連結体53は、相手方コネクタ101の導電性の設置対象物(この例示では金属等の導電性材料から成る筐体201)の壁面201a(図1)に対してコネクタ嵌合状態で螺子止め固定することによって、コネクタ1を相手方コネクタ101側に固定する。よって、この連結体53は、その螺子止め固定に利用する貫通孔54を有している(図3)。その貫通孔54については、後で詳述する。   The shield shell 20B has a connecting body 53 that connects two adjacent sub-shielding bodies 52 arranged in parallel (FIGS. 2 to 5 and 13). The connecting body 53 only needs to connect at least two adjacent sub-shielding bodies 52 arranged in parallel, and may connect all the sub-shielding bodies 52 (for example, three sub-shielding bodies 52).

The connector 53 is screwed and fixed to the wall surface 201a (FIG. 1) of the mating connector 101 with respect to the conductive installation object (the case 201 made of a conductive material such as metal in this example). By doing so, the connector 1 is fixed to the mating connector 101 side. Therefore, this connecting body 53 has a through-hole 54 used for fixing by screwing (FIG. 3). The through hole 54 will be described later in detail.

ここで、電線Weの端末には、環状のシール部材Se2が同心上で取り付けられている(図4及び図5)。そのシール部材Se2は、電気接続部11が収容空間33に収容された状態で副シールド体52の内周面に密着し、副シールド体52と電線Weとの間の液密性を向上させる(図4)。   Here, an annular seal member Se2 is concentrically attached to the end of the electric wire We (FIGS. 4 and 5). The seal member Se2 adheres tightly to the inner peripheral surface of the sub-shielding body 52 in a state where the electric connection portion 11 is housed in the housing space 33, and improves the liquid tightness between the sub-shielding body 52 and the electric wire We ( (Fig. 4).

保持部材20Cは、副シールド体52の開口52a側の端部が嵌め込まれる筒状の外周壁(後述する外周壁62)を有しており、その副シールド体52の収容空間52bに配策された電線Weを外方に引き出すことができるように形成された筒部材である。この保持部材20Cは、金属等の導電性材料で成形する。この保持部材20Cは、端子金具10毎に設ける。この例示では、保持部材20Cを2つ備えている。   The holding member 20C has a cylindrical outer peripheral wall (an outer peripheral wall 62 to be described later) into which an end of the sub-shielding body 52 on the opening 52a side is fitted, and is arranged in a housing space 52b of the sub-shielding body 52. It is a cylindrical member formed so that the electric wire We can be drawn out. The holding member 20C is formed of a conductive material such as a metal. The holding member 20C is provided for each terminal fitting 10. In this example, two holding members 20C are provided.

この例示の保持部材20Cは、同心上で径方向に間隔を空けて配置された円筒状の内周壁61と円筒状の外周壁62とを有する(図13及び図14)。その内周壁61と外周壁62は、各々、筒軸方向における両端を開口させている。よって、この保持部材20Cには、内周壁61と外周壁62との間に円筒状の隙間63が形成される(図14)。この例示の保持部材20Cは、その円筒状の隙間63における筒軸方向の一端の円環状の開口を円環状の壁(以下、「環状壁」という。)64で塞いでいる(図13)。この保持部材20Cは、その円筒状の隙間63に、筒軸方向における他端の開口63a(図14)から副シールド体52の開口52a側の端部を挿入嵌合させる。よって、この保持部材20Cにおいては、内周壁61が副シールド体52の収容空間52bに挿入され、外周壁62が副シールド体52の外周壁52cの外周面を覆う(図13から図15)。この保持部材20Cにおいては、副シールド体52の収容空間52bに配策された電線Weが、その内周壁61の内方の空間に導かれ、この内周壁61の一端の開口から外方に引き出される。   This exemplary holding member 20C has a cylindrical inner peripheral wall 61 and a cylindrical outer peripheral wall 62 that are concentrically arranged at an interval in the radial direction (FIGS. 13 and 14). The inner peripheral wall 61 and the outer peripheral wall 62 have both ends opened in the cylinder axis direction. Therefore, a cylindrical gap 63 is formed between the inner peripheral wall 61 and the outer peripheral wall 62 in the holding member 20C (FIG. 14). In the illustrated holding member 20C, an annular opening at one end in the cylinder axis direction in the cylindrical gap 63 is closed by an annular wall (hereinafter, referred to as “annular wall”) 64 (FIG. 13). The holding member 20C inserts and fits the end of the auxiliary shield body 52 on the opening 52a side from the opening 63a (FIG. 14) at the other end in the cylinder axis direction into the cylindrical gap 63. Therefore, in the holding member 20C, the inner peripheral wall 61 is inserted into the accommodation space 52b of the sub-shielding body 52, and the outer peripheral wall 62 covers the outer peripheral surface of the outer peripheral wall 52c of the sub-shielding body 52 (FIGS. 13 to 15). In the holding member 20C, the electric wire We routed in the housing space 52b of the sub-shielding body 52 is guided to a space inside the inner peripheral wall 61, and is drawn outward from an opening at one end of the inner peripheral wall 61. It is.

副シールド体52と保持部材20Cは、ロック機構Lで互いの嵌合状態を保持する(図13及び図14)。この例示では、ロック機構Lを2箇所に設けている。このロック機構Lは、副シールド体52に設けた第1係合体55と、保持部材20Cに設けた第2係合体65と、を備える。   The sub-shield body 52 and the holding member 20C hold each other in a fitted state by the lock mechanism L (FIGS. 13 and 14). In this example, two lock mechanisms L are provided. The lock mechanism L includes a first engagement body 55 provided on the sub-shield body 52 and a second engagement body 65 provided on the holding member 20C.

第1係合体55は、副シールド体52の開口52a側の端部にて外周壁52cから径方向の外側に突出させる。この例示の第1係合体55は、第2係合体65を引っ掛けることが可能な爪状に形成している。   The first engagement body 55 projects radially outward from the outer peripheral wall 52c at the end of the sub-shield body 52 on the opening 52a side. The first engagement body 55 in this example is formed in a claw shape that can hook the second engagement body 65.

一方、第2係合体65は、保持部材20Cの外周壁62の周方向における一部を取り除いた場所に設ける。この例示の第2係合体65は、環状壁64と同一平面上で内周壁61の外周面から径方向の外側に突出させた基部65aを有する(図13及び図14)。更に、この例示の第2係合体65は、その基部65aの周方向における両端に、可撓性を持たせた第1及び第2の可撓軸部65b,65cを各々有する(図13及び図14)。その第1及び第2の可撓軸部65b,65cは、各々、基部65aの周方向における両端から保持部材20Cの筒軸方向で且つ開口63aに向けて各々突出させる。また、この第1及び第2の可撓軸部65b,65cは、保持部材20Cの径方向において、外周壁62と同等の位置に配置する。また更に、この例示の第2係合体65は、第1及び第2の可撓軸部65b,65cのそれぞれの突出側の端部を繋ぐ係合部65dを有する(図13及び図14)。この第2係合体65は、第1及び第2の可撓軸部65b,65cを撓ませることによって、係合部65dを内周壁61に対して径方向に動かすことができる。   On the other hand, the second engagement body 65 is provided at a position where a part of the outer peripheral wall 62 of the holding member 20C in the circumferential direction is removed. The illustrated second engaging body 65 has a base 65a protruding radially outward from the outer peripheral surface of the inner peripheral wall 61 on the same plane as the annular wall 64 (FIGS. 13 and 14). Further, the illustrated second engagement body 65 has first and second flexible shaft portions 65b and 65c at both ends in the circumferential direction of the base portion 65a, respectively (see FIGS. 13 and 13). 14). The first and second flexible shaft portions 65b and 65c respectively protrude from both ends in the circumferential direction of the base portion 65a in the cylinder axis direction of the holding member 20C and toward the opening 63a. Further, the first and second flexible shaft portions 65b and 65c are arranged at positions equivalent to the outer peripheral wall 62 in the radial direction of the holding member 20C. Furthermore, the second engagement body 65 of this example has an engagement portion 65d that connects the protruding ends of the first and second flexible shaft portions 65b and 65c (FIGS. 13 and 14). The second engaging body 65 can move the engaging portion 65d in the radial direction with respect to the inner peripheral wall 61 by bending the first and second flexible shaft portions 65b and 65c.

このロック機構Lにおいては、保持部材20Cを副シールド体52の開口52a側の端部に挿入嵌合させ始めることで、第2係合体65を撓ませながら係合部65dが第1係合体55に乗り上がる。そして、このロック機構Lにおいては、副シールド体52と保持部材20Cとの嵌合が完了するときに、第2係合体65の係合部65dが第1係合体55を乗り越えて、第2係合体65の撓みが解消される。これにより、このロック機構Lにおいては、保持部材20Cが副シールド体52から外れぬように、第1係合体55と第2係合体65の係合部65dとが外周壁62の筒軸方向で係止可能な状態となる。   In the lock mechanism L, by starting to insert and fit the holding member 20C into the end of the sub-shielding body 52 on the opening 52a side, the second engaging body 65 is bent while the first engaging body 65d is bent. Get on. In the lock mechanism L, when the engagement between the sub shield body 52 and the holding member 20C is completed, the engagement portion 65d of the second engagement body 65 rides over the first engagement body 55, and The bending of the united body 65 is eliminated. Thus, in the lock mechanism L, the first engaging member 55 and the engaging portion 65d of the second engaging member 65 are aligned in the cylinder axis direction of the outer peripheral wall 62 so that the holding member 20C does not come off the sub-shielding member 52. It will be in a lockable state.

ここで、副シールド体52は、開口52a側の端部の外周壁52cに係止体を備える。その係止体は、副シールド体52の開口52a側の端部の外周壁52cから突出させた突出体であり、その外周壁52cに複数設けることが望ましい。また、保持部材20Cは、その係止体が挿入される隙間を外周壁62に備える。ロック機構Lにおいては、保持部材20Cが副シールド体52の開口52a側の端部に嵌合され、かつ、第1係合体55と第2係合体65の係合が完了している状態で、その係止体が隙間に挿入されている。ここでは、2つの係止体(第1及び第2の係止体56A,56B)を副シールド体52に設け、かつ、2つの隙間(第1及び第2の隙間66A,66B)を保持部材20Cに設けている(図13及び図14)。このロック機構Lにおいては、保持部材20Cが副シールド体52の開口52a側の端部に嵌合され、かつ、第1係合体55と第2係合体65の係合が完了している状態で、第1係止体56Aを第1隙間66Aに挿入させ、かつ、第2係止体56Bを第2隙間66Bに挿入させる。   Here, the sub-shielding body 52 has a locking body on the outer peripheral wall 52c at the end on the opening 52a side. The locking body is a protruding body protruding from the outer peripheral wall 52c at the end of the sub-shielding body 52 on the side of the opening 52a, and it is desirable that a plurality of such locking bodies be provided on the outer peripheral wall 52c. Further, the holding member 20C has a gap in the outer peripheral wall 62 into which the locking body is inserted. In the lock mechanism L, in a state where the holding member 20C is fitted to the end of the auxiliary shield body 52 on the opening 52a side, and the engagement between the first engagement body 55 and the second engagement body 65 is completed, The locking body is inserted in the gap. Here, two locking bodies (first and second locking bodies 56A and 56B) are provided on the sub-shielding body 52, and two gaps (first and second gaps 66A and 66B) are formed in the holding member. 20C (FIGS. 13 and 14). In the lock mechanism L, the holding member 20C is fitted to the end of the auxiliary shield body 52 on the side of the opening 52a, and the engagement between the first engagement body 55 and the second engagement body 65 is completed. Then, the first locking body 56A is inserted into the first gap 66A, and the second locking body 56B is inserted into the second gap 66B.

具体的に、この例示の第1及び第2の係止体56A,56Bは、副シールド体52の開口52a側の端部にて、その外周壁52cから径方向の外側に向けて突出させ且つ副シールド体52の筒軸方向に延在させる。ここでは、第1及び第2の係止体56A,56Bを方体状に形成している。更に、この例示の第1及び第2の係止体56A,56Bは、副シールド体52の開口52a側の端部の外周壁52cにて、副シールド体52の周方向で第1係合体55を間に介在させるように形成する。一方、外周壁62には、第1及び第2の隙間66A,66Bを設けることによって、第1隙間66Aにおける一方の壁面を成す一方の端部62aと、第2隙間66Bにおける一方の壁面を成す他方の端部62bと、が形成される(図13及び図14)。この例示の第1隙間66Aは、外周壁62の周方向にて、その一方の端部62aと第1可撓軸部65bとの間に設ける(図13及び図14)。また、この例示の第2隙間66Bは、外周壁62の周方向にて、その他方の端部62bと第2可撓軸部65cとの間に設ける(図13及び図14)。   Specifically, the first and second locking members 56A and 56B of this example are projected radially outward from the outer peripheral wall 52c at the end of the sub-shielding body 52 on the opening 52a side, and The auxiliary shield body 52 extends in the cylinder axis direction. Here, the first and second locking bodies 56A and 56B are formed in a rectangular shape. Further, the first and second locking members 56A and 56B of this example are formed on the outer peripheral wall 52c at the end of the sub-shielding body 52 on the opening 52a side in the circumferential direction of the sub-shielding body 52 by the first engagement member 55. Are formed so as to be interposed therebetween. On the other hand, by providing the first and second gaps 66A and 66B in the outer peripheral wall 62, one end 62a forming one wall surface in the first gap 66A and one wall surface in the second gap 66B are formed. The other end 62b is formed (FIGS. 13 and 14). The illustrated first gap 66A is provided between one end 62a and the first flexible shaft 65b in the circumferential direction of the outer peripheral wall 62 (FIGS. 13 and 14). The illustrated second gap 66B is provided between the other end 62b and the second flexible shaft 65c in the circumferential direction of the outer peripheral wall 62 (FIGS. 13 and 14).

第1係止体56Aと第1隙間66Aは、第1係止体56Aが第1隙間66Aに挿入されているときに、外周壁62の一方の端部62aと第1可撓軸部65bとの間で、これらに対して第1係止体56Aの周方向における一端と他端とが周方向で各々対向配置されるように形成及び配置する。そして、第1係止体56Aと第1隙間66Aは、副シールド体52と保持部材20Cとの間の周方向の相対回転を抑え得るように形成及び配置する。例えば、第1係止体56Aと第1隙間66Aは、第1係止体56Aの周方向における一端と外周壁62の一方の端部62aとの周方向での間隔及び第1係止体56Aの周方向における他端と第1可撓軸部65bとの周方向での間隔が、各々、第1係止体56Aの第1隙間66Aへの挿入を可能にする範囲内で最大限狭まるように形成及び配置する。これにより、第1係止体56Aは、副シールド体52と保持部材20Cとが周方向で相対回転しようとしたときに、外周壁62の一方の端部62a又は第1可撓軸部65bに対して周方向で係止される。よって、第1係止体56Aと第1隙間66Aは、副シールド体52と保持部材20Cの周方向の相対回転を抑えることができる。   When the first locking body 56A is inserted into the first gap 66A, the first locking body 56A and the first gap 66A are connected to one end 62a of the outer peripheral wall 62 and the first flexible shaft section 65b. Between them, one end and the other end in the circumferential direction of the first locking body 56A are formed and arranged so as to face each other in the circumferential direction. The first locking body 56A and the first gap 66A are formed and arranged so as to suppress the relative rotation in the circumferential direction between the sub shield body 52 and the holding member 20C. For example, the first locking body 56A and the first gap 66A have a circumferential distance between one end of the first locking body 56A in the circumferential direction and one end 62a of the outer peripheral wall 62, and the first locking body 56A. In the circumferential direction between the other end in the circumferential direction and the first flexible shaft portion 65b so as to be as narrow as possible within a range in which the first locking body 56A can be inserted into the first gap 66A. Formed and arranged. Accordingly, the first locking body 56A is attached to one end 62a of the outer peripheral wall 62 or the first flexible shaft 65b when the sub-shielding body 52 and the holding member 20C are relatively rotating in the circumferential direction. On the other hand, it is locked in the circumferential direction. Therefore, the first locking body 56A and the first gap 66A can suppress the relative rotation of the auxiliary shield body 52 and the holding member 20C in the circumferential direction.

これと同様に、第2係止体56Bと第2隙間66Bは、第2係止体56Bが第2隙間66Bに挿入されているときに、外周壁62の他方の端部62bと第2可撓軸部65cとの間で、これらに対して第2係止体56Bの周方向における一端と他端とが周方向で各々対向配置されるように形成及び配置する。そして、第2係止体56Bと第2隙間66Bは、副シールド体52と保持部材20Cとの間の周方向の相対回転を抑え得るように形成及び配置する。例えば、第2係止体56Bと第2隙間66Bは、第2係止体56Bの周方向における一端と外周壁62の他方の端部62bとの周方向での間隔及び第2係止体56Bの周方向における他端と第2可撓軸部65cとの周方向での間隔が、各々、第2係止体56Bの第2隙間66Bへの挿入を可能にする範囲内で最大限狭まるように形成及び配置する。これにより、第2係止体56Bは、副シールド体52と保持部材20Cとが周方向で相対回転しようとしたときに、外周壁62の他方の端部62b又は第2可撓軸部65cに対して周方向で係止される。よって、第2係止体56Bと第2隙間66Bは、副シールド体52と保持部材20Cの周方向の相対回転を抑えることができる。   Similarly, when the second locking body 56B is inserted into the second gap 66B, the second locking body 56B and the second gap 66B are connected to the other end 62b of the outer peripheral wall 62 by the second clearance. The second locking body 56B is formed and arranged such that one end and the other end in the circumferential direction of the second locking body 56B are opposed to each other in the circumferential direction with respect to the flexible shaft portion 65c. The second locking body 56B and the second gap 66B are formed and arranged so as to suppress relative rotation in the circumferential direction between the sub-shielding body 52 and the holding member 20C. For example, the second locking body 56 </ b> B and the second gap 66 </ b> B are defined by the circumferential distance between one end of the second locking body 56 </ b> B in the circumferential direction and the other end 62 b of the outer peripheral wall 62 and the second locking body 56 </ b> B. The distance between the other end in the circumferential direction and the second flexible shaft portion 65c in the circumferential direction is narrowed as much as possible within a range in which the second locking body 56B can be inserted into the second gap 66B. Formed and arranged. Thus, the second locking body 56B is attached to the other end 62b of the outer peripheral wall 62 or the second flexible shaft 65c when the auxiliary shield body 52 and the holding member 20C are about to rotate relative to each other in the circumferential direction. On the other hand, it is locked in the circumferential direction. Therefore, the second locking body 56B and the second gap 66B can suppress the relative rotation of the auxiliary shield body 52 and the holding member 20C in the circumferential direction.

このコネクタ1は、第1シールド部材としてのシールドシェル20Bの他に、このシールドシェル20Bに対して電気的に接続させる第2シールド部材71を備える(図1から図5及び図15)。その第2シールド部材71は、副シールド体52の開口52a側の端部と共にその開口52aから引き出された電線Weを外方から覆うことで、この電線Weに対する外部からのノイズの侵入を抑制する。この第2シールド部材71は、筒状に形成し、端子金具10毎に設ける。ここでは、第2シールド部材71を2つ備えている。このコネクタ1においては、副シールド体52の開口52aに取り付けた保持部材20Cから電線Weが外方に引き出されている。よって、この例示の第2シールド部材71は、副シールド体52の開口52a側の端部と、保持部材20Cと、保持部材20Cから引き出された電線Weと、を外方から覆うように形成する。これにより、この第2シールド部材71は、保持部材20Cから引き出された電線Weに対する外部からのノイズの侵入を抑制することができる。具体的に、この例示の第2シールド部材71は、導電性の素線が筒状且つ網目状に編み込まれた編組として設ける。よって、この例示の第2シールド部材71は、柔軟性を有しており、内方の電線Weの曲げ等の動きに追従することができる。尚、図中では、図示の便宜上、第2シールド部材71の具体的な形状(網目等)は省略している。   The connector 1 includes a second shield member 71 electrically connected to the shield shell 20B, in addition to the shield shell 20B as a first shield member (FIGS. 1 to 5 and 15). The second shield member 71 covers the wire We pulled out from the opening 52a together with the end of the sub-shield body 52 on the side of the opening 52a from the outside, thereby suppressing external noise from entering the wire We. . The second shield member 71 is formed in a tubular shape and provided for each terminal fitting 10. Here, two second shield members 71 are provided. In this connector 1, the electric wire We is drawn out from the holding member 20C attached to the opening 52a of the sub-shielding body 52. Therefore, the illustrated second shield member 71 is formed so as to cover the end on the opening 52a side of the sub-shielding body 52, the holding member 20C, and the electric wire We drawn out of the holding member 20C from the outside. . Thereby, the second shield member 71 can suppress intrusion of noise from the outside into the electric wire We pulled out from the holding member 20C. Specifically, the second shield member 71 in this example is provided as a braid in which a conductive element wire is woven in a tubular and mesh shape. Therefore, the illustrated second shield member 71 has flexibility, and can follow movement such as bending of the inner electric wire We. In the drawings, the specific shape (a mesh or the like) of the second shield member 71 is omitted for convenience of illustration.

この第2シールド部材71は、金属等の導電性材料から成る結束部材(結束バンド75)で副シールド体52に固定する(図4、図5及び図15)。結束バンド75は、この技術分野で周知のものを用いる。例えば、結束バンド75は、第2シールド部材71の上から第2シールド部材71と副シールド体52の開口52a側の端部とに巻き付ける。この結束バンド75は、締め付けていくことによって円環状を成し、第2シールド部材71を副シールド体52の開口52a側の端部に固定する。   The second shield member 71 is fixed to the sub shield body 52 with a binding member (binding band 75) made of a conductive material such as metal (FIGS. 4, 5, and 15). The binding band 75 uses a well-known one in this technical field. For example, the binding band 75 is wound around the second shield member 71 and the end of the sub-shield body 52 on the opening 52 a side from above the second shield member 71. The binding band 75 forms an annular shape by being tightened, and fixes the second shield member 71 to an end of the sub-shielding body 52 on the opening 52a side.

ここで、結束バンド75は、保持部材20Cの外周壁62における開口63a側の端面62c並びに第1及び第2の係止体56A,56Bの主シールド体51側の端面56aに対して、副シールド体52の筒軸方向で対向配置される位置にて巻き付けを行う(図15)。これにより、巻き付け後に環状(ここでは円環状)を成している結束バンド75は、その外周壁62の端面62cと第1及び第2の係止体56A,56Bの端面56aとに、筒軸方向で対向配置されることになる。この例示では、外周壁62の端面62cに対して、筒軸方向で第1及び第2の係止体56A,56Bの端面56aを突出させる。これにより、第1及び第2の係止体56A,56Bの端面56aは、締め付け後の結束バンド75を筒軸方向で係止することが可能な係止部として利用することができる。例えば、このコネクタ1においては、第2シールド部材71に対して副シールド体52から引き抜かれる方向の引っ張り力が発生した際に、この第2シールド部材71と共に結束バンド75が副シールド体52に対して筒軸方向に相対移動したとしても、その結束バンド75が第1及び第2の係止体56A,56Bの端面56aで係止される。よって、このコネクタ1においては、第2シールド部材71を副シールド体52に締め付けた状態のまま保持することができる。従って、このコネクタ1は、副シールド体52と第2シールド部材71との物理的且つ電気的な接続状態を保ち続けることができるので、シールド性能の低下を抑えることができる。このように、このコネクタ1において、第1及び第2の係止体56A,56Bは、副シールド体52に対する第2シールド部材71の保持機能を持ち、かつ、先に示した副シールド体52に対する保持部材20Cの相対回転抑止機能を持っている。故に、このコネクタ1は、それぞれの機能を別々の部位で成立させたものと比較して、体格の大型化を抑えることができる。   Here, the binding band 75 is attached to the outer end wall 62c of the outer peripheral wall 62 of the holding member 20C on the side of the opening 63a and the end surfaces 56a of the first and second locking members 56A and 56B on the side of the main shield body 51 on the side of the auxiliary shield. Winding is performed at a position facing the body 52 in the cylinder axis direction (FIG. 15). As a result, the binding band 75 having an annular shape (here, an annular shape) after being wound is attached to the end face 62c of the outer peripheral wall 62 and the end faces 56a of the first and second locking bodies 56A and 56B by the cylindrical shaft. In the opposite direction. In this example, the end surfaces 56a of the first and second locking members 56A and 56B are projected from the end surface 62c of the outer peripheral wall 62 in the cylinder axis direction. Thus, the end surfaces 56a of the first and second locking members 56A and 56B can be used as locking portions that can lock the tightened binding band 75 in the cylinder axis direction. For example, in the connector 1, when a pulling force is generated in the direction in which the second shield member 71 is pulled out from the sub-shield body 52, the binding band 75 together with the second shield member 71 is attached to the sub-shield body 52. Even if they move relatively in the cylinder axis direction, the binding band 75 is locked by the end surfaces 56a of the first and second locking members 56A and 56B. Therefore, in this connector 1, the second shield member 71 can be held in a state of being fastened to the sub-shielding body 52. Accordingly, the connector 1 can maintain the physical and electrical connection between the sub-shielding body 52 and the second shield member 71, and can suppress a decrease in shielding performance. As described above, in the connector 1, the first and second locking members 56A and 56B have a function of holding the second shield member 71 with respect to the sub-shielding member 52, and also have a function of holding the sub-shielding member 52 with respect to the previously-described sub-shielding member 52. It has a function of inhibiting the relative rotation of the holding member 20C. Therefore, this connector 1 can suppress an increase in physique as compared with a connector in which each function is realized in a separate part.

更に、このコネクタ1においては、シールドシェル20Bの副シールド体52を端子金具10毎に設け、かつ、その副シールド体52毎に第2シールド部材71を繋ぐことによって、それぞれの電線Weを個々に第2シールド部材71で覆っている。よって、このコネクタ1は、一纏めに束ねたそれぞれの電線Weを1つの編組で覆うものと比較して、それぞれの電線Weを副シールド体52から柔軟性を持たせたまま引き出すことができるので、それぞれの電線Weの配索経路の自由度を高めることができる。また、このコネクタ1は、それぞれの電線Weを一纏めに束ねずに済むので、それぞれの電線Weの間での熱干渉の発生を抑えることができる。故に、このコネクタ1においては、それぞれの電線Weの大径化を抑えることができるので、それぞれの電線Weの配索経路の自由度を更に高めることができる。   Further, in this connector 1, the sub-shields 52 of the shield shell 20B are provided for each terminal fitting 10 and the second shield member 71 is connected to each of the sub-shields 52, so that the electric wires We can be individually connected. It is covered with the second shield member 71. Therefore, since the connector 1 can pull out each of the wires We from the sub-shielding body 52 with flexibility as compared with a case where each of the wires We bundled together is covered with one braid, The degree of freedom of the wiring route of each electric wire We can be increased. In addition, since the connector 1 does not need to bundle the electric wires We together, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of thermal interference between the electric wires We. Therefore, in this connector 1, since the diameter of each electric wire We can be suppressed from increasing, the degree of freedom of the routing path of each electric wire We can be further increased.

ところで、このコネクタ1においては、先に示したように、端子金具10の電線接続部12を絶縁性の収容体20Aから突出させ、この飛び出ている電線接続部12を導電性の副シールド体52で覆っている。従って、このコネクタ1では、その導電性の電線接続部12と副シールド体52との間に絶縁体を介在させ、その間の絶縁距離(空間距離)を増大させる。このコネクタ1は、電線接続部12と電線Weの端末とを外方から覆う絶縁性の筒部材(以下、「絶縁筒」という。)80を備える(図3から図5、図16及び図17)。   In the connector 1, as described above, the wire connection portion 12 of the terminal fitting 10 is protruded from the insulating container 20A, and the projecting wire connection portion 12 is connected to the conductive sub-shielding member 52. It is covered with. Therefore, in this connector 1, an insulator is interposed between the conductive wire connection portion 12 and the sub-shielding body 52, and the insulation distance (space distance) therebetween is increased. The connector 1 includes an insulating tubular member (hereinafter, referred to as an “insulating tube”) 80 that covers the electric wire connection portion 12 and the end of the electric wire We from outside (FIGS. 3 to 5, FIGS. 16 and 17). ).

絶縁筒80は、合成樹脂等の絶縁性材料で成形する。この例示の絶縁筒80は、電線接続部12と電線Weの端末とを内方に収容する角筒状の筒体81を有する(図4、図5、図16及び図17)。その筒体81の筒軸方向における一端側は、電線接続部12を内方に収容したままの状態で第1収容部材30の収容空間33に挿入される。よって、その収容空間33には、絶縁筒80における自らの筒軸方向の一方の端部と共に、端子金具10が電気接続部11側の先端から挿入孔34を介して挿入される。従って、このコネクタ1においては、第1収容部材30の挿入孔34を略矩形状に形成し、かつ、この挿入孔34に嵌め込むことができるように筒体81を形成することが望ましい。収容体20Aにおいては、その絶縁筒80の一方の端部と電気接続部11とが収容空間33に収容されている状態で、第2収容部材40を収容空間33に挿入していく。   The insulating cylinder 80 is formed of an insulating material such as a synthetic resin. This exemplary insulating cylinder 80 has a rectangular tubular body 81 that accommodates the electric wire connection part 12 and the terminal of the electric wire We inward (FIGS. 4, 5, 16, and 17). One end of the cylindrical body 81 in the cylinder axis direction is inserted into the housing space 33 of the first housing member 30 with the wire connection portion 12 housed inward. Therefore, the terminal fitting 10 is inserted into the housing space 33 from the front end of the electrical connection portion 11 through the insertion hole 34 together with one end of the insulating cylinder 80 in the direction of its own cylinder axis. Therefore, in the connector 1, it is desirable that the insertion hole 34 of the first housing member 30 be formed in a substantially rectangular shape, and that the tubular body 81 be formed so as to be fitted into the insertion hole 34. In the housing 20A, the second housing member 40 is inserted into the housing space 33 with one end of the insulating tube 80 and the electrical connection portion 11 being housed in the housing space 33.

この例示の絶縁筒80は、自らの筒軸方向における一方の端部に係止爪82を有する(図3、図5、図16及び図17)。この例示では、その係止爪82を筒体81における筒軸方向の一端側の少なくとも1箇所に設けている。その係止爪82は、筒体81の一端側の外周壁に突出体として形成し、収容空間33に収容させる。この係止爪82は、収容空間33に一端側が収容された筒体81の筒軸方向において、第1収容部材30の外周壁31における挿入孔34の周縁部に係止させることができる(図3及び図17)。よって、この係止爪82は、第2収容部材40が収容空間33に収容されるまでの間、絶縁筒80を第1収容部材30に仮保持させることができる。   This exemplary insulating cylinder 80 has a locking claw 82 at one end in its own cylinder axis direction (FIGS. 3, 5, 16, and 17). In this example, the locking claws 82 are provided at at least one position on one end side of the cylinder 81 in the cylinder axis direction. The locking claw 82 is formed as a protruding body on the outer peripheral wall on one end side of the cylindrical body 81, and is housed in the housing space 33. The locking claw 82 can be locked to the peripheral portion of the insertion hole 34 in the outer peripheral wall 31 of the first housing member 30 in the cylinder axis direction of the cylindrical body 81 whose one end is housed in the housing space 33 (FIG. 3 and FIG. 17). Therefore, the locking claws 82 can temporarily hold the insulating cylinder 80 on the first housing member 30 until the second housing member 40 is housed in the housing space 33.

更に、このコネクタ1においては、絶縁筒80に設けた被係止部83(図3、図5、図16及び図17)と、第2収容部材40に設けた係止部47(図10、図11及び図17)と、によって、収容体20Aに対する絶縁筒80の自らの筒軸方向への動きが係止されるように構成する。被係止部83と係止部47は、そのような係止が可能なものであれば、如何様な形状のものであってもよい。例えば、被係止部83と係止部47は、その内の一方を突起状に形成し、その内の他方を相手方が挿入される溝状に形成する。この例示の絶縁筒80は、自らの筒軸方向における一方の端部に被係止部83を有する。この例示では、その被係止部83を筒体81における筒軸方向の一端側に設けている。その被係止部83は、その筒体81の一端から筒軸方向に突出させた片体状のものとして設ける。この例示の被係止部83は、筒体81の一端から筒軸方向に突出させた第1片部83aと、この第1片部83aに直交配置した第2片部83bと、を有するL字状に形成する(図16及び図17)。絶縁筒80は、この被係止部83のL字状の断面に対する直交方向が第1収容部材30の筒軸方向を向くように、一方の端部を挿入孔34から収容空間33に挿入する。そして、第2収容部材40には、第2片部83bを収容空間33の中で収容する溝状の係止部47を設ける。その係止部47は、第1収容部材30の筒軸方向に沿って延在させた絶縁筒80毎の溝であり、第2収容部材40の収容空間33への挿入と共に、第2片部83bを第1収容部材30の筒軸方向に沿って挿入させる。第2片部83bは、係止部47の2つの側壁(筒体81の筒軸方向に沿って対向配置されている壁)で係止することができる。従って、このコネクタ1においては、収容体20Aやシールドシェル20Bに対する絶縁筒80の筒軸方向に沿う位置ズレを抑えることができる。   Further, in the connector 1, the locked portion 83 (FIGS. 3, 5, 16 and 17) provided on the insulating tube 80 and the locking portion 47 (FIG. 11 and 17), the movement of the insulating cylinder 80 in the direction of its own cylinder axis with respect to the container 20A is locked. The locked portion 83 and the locking portion 47 may have any shape as long as such locking is possible. For example, one of the locked portion 83 and the locking portion 47 is formed in a protruding shape, and the other is formed in a groove shape into which a counterpart is inserted. The insulating cylinder 80 in this example has a locked portion 83 at one end in its own cylinder axis direction. In this example, the locked portion 83 is provided on one end side of the cylinder 81 in the cylinder axis direction. The locked portion 83 is provided as a single piece protruding from one end of the cylinder 81 in the cylinder axis direction. The illustrated locked portion 83 includes a first piece 83a protruding from one end of the cylindrical body 81 in the cylinder axis direction, and a second piece 83b orthogonal to the first piece 83a. It is formed in a letter shape (FIGS. 16 and 17). One end of the insulating tube 80 is inserted into the housing space 33 from the insertion hole 34 such that the direction orthogonal to the L-shaped cross section of the locked portion 83 faces the cylindrical axis direction of the first housing member 30. . The second housing member 40 is provided with a groove-shaped locking portion 47 for housing the second piece 83b in the housing space 33. The locking portion 47 is a groove for each insulating cylinder 80 extending along the cylinder axis direction of the first housing member 30, and is inserted into the housing space 33 of the second housing member 40 and the second piece portion is formed. 83b is inserted along the cylinder axis direction of the first housing member 30. The second piece 83b can be locked by two side walls of the locking portion 47 (walls facing each other along the cylinder axis direction of the cylinder 81). Therefore, in this connector 1, it is possible to suppress the displacement of the insulating cylinder 80 along the cylinder axis direction with respect to the container 20A and the shield shell 20B.

尚、このコネクタ1は、第2シールド部材71を外装部材CBで外方から覆っている(図1から図5)。外装部材CBは、例えばコルゲートチューブやブーツ等であり、合成樹脂等の絶縁性材料で成形されている。この例示の外装部材CBは、電線Weの配索経路の自由度を高めるべく、屈曲可能なものとして形成されている。例えば、この外装部材CBは、保持部材20Cから引き出されている電線We毎に、屈曲可能な筒部CBa,CBbを設けている(図1から図3)。この外装部材CBは、例えば結束バンドCB0でシールドシェル20Bに固定する。   In this connector 1, the second shield member 71 is covered from the outside with an exterior member CB (FIGS. 1 to 5). The exterior member CB is, for example, a corrugated tube or a boot, and is formed of an insulating material such as a synthetic resin. The illustrated exterior member CB is formed to be bendable so as to increase the degree of freedom of the wiring route of the electric wire We. For example, this exterior member CB is provided with bendable cylindrical portions CBa and CBb for each electric wire We pulled out from the holding member 20C (FIGS. 1 to 3). The exterior member CB is fixed to the shield shell 20B with, for example, a binding band CB0.

このコネクタ1においては、第1収容部材30が主シールド体51の収容空間51cに収容され、かつ、電線Weの端末に取り付けられ且つ絶縁筒80に挿入された端子金具10が先端から第1収容部材30の収容空間33に収容される。このコネクタ1においては、その状態で第2収容部材40を収容空間33に挿入していく。このコネクタ1では、これらの各部品を固定状態のまま保つべく、第1収容部材30と第2収容部材40とシールドシェル20Bとを螺子止め固定する。例えば、この例示の主シールド体51には、自らの筒軸方向を軸線とする雌螺子部Nが形成されている(図12及び図14)。第1収容部材30と第2収容部材40とシールドシェル20Bは、その雌螺子部Nに雄螺子部材B(図5)を螺合することによって固定する。第1収容部材30には、雌螺子部Nを有する円筒状のボス部51d(図12及び図14)を挿通させる貫通孔37が形成されている(図3、図5及び図12)。また、第2収容部材40には、雄螺子部材Bを挿通させる貫通孔48が形成されている(図3、図5、図11及び図12)。貫通孔37,48は、外周壁31の筒軸方向を軸線とする。ボス部51dは、外周壁51aの筒軸方向を軸線とする。よって、第1収容部材30と第2収容部材40とシールドシェル20Bは、筒軸方向の軸力で共締めされる。   In the connector 1, the first housing member 30 is housed in the housing space 51 c of the main shield body 51, and the terminal fitting 10 attached to the terminal of the electric wire We and inserted into the insulating tube 80 is first housed from the distal end. It is housed in the housing space 33 of the member 30. In this connector 1, the second housing member 40 is inserted into the housing space 33 in this state. In the connector 1, the first housing member 30, the second housing member 40, and the shield shell 20B are screwed and fixed to keep these components in a fixed state. For example, the illustrated main shield body 51 is formed with a female screw portion N whose axis is in the direction of its own cylinder axis (FIGS. 12 and 14). The first housing member 30, the second housing member 40, and the shield shell 20B are fixed by screwing a male screw member B (FIG. 5) to the female screw portion N thereof. The first housing member 30 is formed with a through hole 37 (FIGS. 3, 5, and 12) through which a cylindrical boss 51d (FIGS. 12 and 14) having the female thread N is inserted. Further, a through hole 48 through which the male screw member B is inserted is formed in the second housing member 40 (FIGS. 3, 5, 11, and 12). The axial direction of the through holes 37 and 48 is set in the cylinder axis direction of the outer peripheral wall 31. The boss 51d has the axis in the cylinder axis direction of the outer peripheral wall 51a. Therefore, the first housing member 30, the second housing member 40, and the shield shell 20B are fastened together by the axial force in the cylinder axis direction.

以上示したコネクタ1は、先に示したように、相手方コネクタ101に挿入嵌合されて、この相手方コネクタ101に対して電気的に接続される。そこで、以下においては、その相手方コネクタ101について説明する。   The connector 1 described above is inserted and fitted into the mating connector 101 and is electrically connected to the mating connector 101 as described above. Therefore, the counterpart connector 101 will be described below.

相手方コネクタ101は、端子金具10に対して電気的に接続される相手方端子110を備える(図18及び図19)。その相手方端子110は、端子金具10毎に設ける。この例示の相手方コネクタ101は、相手方端子110を2つ備えている。   The mating connector 101 includes a mating terminal 110 that is electrically connected to the terminal fitting 10 (FIGS. 18 and 19).

相手方端子110は、自らを接点部として利用するものであってもよい。この場合には、端子金具(以下、「相手方端子金具」という。)120そのものが相手方端子110となる。一方、相手方端子110は、その相手方端子金具120に接点部材130を取り付けたものであってもよい。   The partner terminal 110 may use itself as a contact part. In this case, the terminal fitting (hereinafter, referred to as “the counterpart terminal fitting”) 120 itself becomes the counterpart terminal 110. On the other hand, the counterpart terminal 110 may have a contact member 130 attached to the counterpart terminal fitting 120.

相手方端子金具120は、金属(銅、銅合金、アルミニウム、アルミニウム合金等)などの導電性材料によって雌型に成形する。この例示では、導電性の金属板を母材とし、切断や折り曲げ等のプレス加工で雌型の相手方端子金具120を成形する。   The counterpart terminal fitting 120 is formed into a female mold using a conductive material such as a metal (copper, copper alloy, aluminum, aluminum alloy, etc.). In this example, a female counterpart terminal fitting 120 is formed by using a conductive metal plate as a base material and pressing such as cutting or bending.

この相手方端子金具120は、互いに間隔を空けて対向配置した第1電気接続部121と第2電気接続部122とを有する(図20及び図21)。第1電気接続部121と第2電気接続部122は、各々、2つの平らな壁面を有する平板状に形成する。この例示では、第1電気接続部121と第2電気接続部122を各々略矩形の平板状に形成している。また、この例示の第1電気接続部121と第2電気接続部122は、各々、同等の形状に形成している。この相手方端子金具120においては、第1電気接続部121と第2電気接続部122の2つの壁面の内の一方の壁面(以下、「対向壁面」という。)121a,122a同士を互いに間隔を空けて対向配置する(図20及び図21)。この対向壁面121a,122a同士は、平行になるように間隔を空けて対向配置している。   The counterpart terminal fitting 120 has a first electric connection portion 121 and a second electric connection portion 122 which are arranged facing each other with a space therebetween (FIGS. 20 and 21). Each of the first electrical connection portion 121 and the second electrical connection portion 122 is formed in a flat plate shape having two flat wall surfaces. In this example, the first electrical connection portion 121 and the second electrical connection portion 122 are each formed in a substantially rectangular flat plate shape. In addition, the first electrical connection portion 121 and the second electrical connection portion 122 in this example are each formed in the same shape. In this counterpart terminal fitting 120, one of two wall surfaces (hereinafter, referred to as “opposing wall surfaces”) 121 a and 122 a of the first electric connection portion 121 and the second electric connection portion 122 is spaced from each other. 20 and 21 (FIGS. 20 and 21). The opposed wall surfaces 121a and 122a are arranged facing each other at an interval so as to be parallel.

この相手方端子金具120においては、第1電気接続部121と第2電気接続部122のそれぞれの一端部121b,122b(図20及び図21)の間に電気接続部11を挿入し、その挿入された電気接続部11に対して電気的に接続させる。第1電気接続部121と第2電気接続部122は、それぞれの一端部121b,122bの対向壁面121a,122aの内の一方に電気接続部11の第1壁面11aと第2壁面11bの内の一方が対向配置され、かつ、その対向壁面121a,122aの内の他方に第1壁面11aと第2壁面11bの内の他方が対向配置されるように形成及び配置する。つまり、第1電気接続部121と第2電気接続部122は、第1壁面11aと第2壁面11bとがそれぞれの対向壁面121a,122aのどちらに対向配置されてもよいように形成及び配置する。この例示では、それぞれの対向壁面121a,122aと第1及び第2の壁面11a,11bとを平行状態で対向配置させる。   In this counterpart terminal fitting 120, the electric connection portion 11 is inserted between one end portions 121b and 122b (FIGS. 20 and 21) of the first electric connection portion 121 and the second electric connection portion 122, respectively. The electrical connection part 11 is electrically connected. The first electrical connection portion 121 and the second electrical connection portion 122 are provided on one of the opposed wall surfaces 121a and 122a of the one end portions 121b and 122b, respectively, between the first wall surface 11a and the second wall surface 11b of the electrical connection portion 11. One of the first wall surface 11a and the second wall surface 11b is formed and arranged so that one of the first wall surface 11a and the second wall surface 11b is opposed to the other of the opposed wall surfaces 121a and 122a. That is, the first electric connection portion 121 and the second electric connection portion 122 are formed and arranged so that the first wall surface 11a and the second wall surface 11b may be arranged to face either of the opposed wall surfaces 121a and 122a. . In this example, the opposing wall surfaces 121a and 122a and the first and second wall surfaces 11a and 11b are arranged to face each other in a parallel state.

In this case, the first electrical connection portion 121 is provided with a bulged portion bulged from the facing wall surface 121a of the one end portion 121b toward the facing wall surface 122a of the second electrical connection portion 122 as a contact portion. Then, the second electrical connection portion 122 is provided with a swelling portion bulging from the facing wall surface 122a of the one end portion 122b toward the facing wall surface 121a of the first electrical connection portion 121 as a contact portion. Each of the contact portions has, for example, a spherical surface serving as a contact, and is arranged to be opposed to each other in the direction orthogonal to the respective opposed wall surfaces 121a and 122a with a space therebetween. The interval between the contact portions is made smaller than the plate thickness of the electrical connection portion 11. Therefore, the first electrical connection portion 121 and the second electrical connection portion 122 are connected to the first wall surface 11a and the second wall surface 11b of the electrical connection portion 11 by inserting the electrical connection portion 11 therebetween. Can be contacted.

The fixed portion 124 is provided on one of the first electric connection portion 121 and the second electric connection portion 122. The fixed portion 124 in this example is formed in a one-piece shape, and protrudes from an end of the other end portion 122c of the second electric connection portion 122 in the connector insertion / removal direction. Here, the fixed portion 124 protrudes in a direction orthogonal to the facing wall surface 122a of the second electric connection portion 122. The fixed portion 124 is formed with a through hole 124a through which a male screw member B1 described later is inserted.

接点部材130は、第1電気接続部121と第2電気接続部122とで各々別のものを用いてもよく、第1電気接続部121と第2電気接続部122とで共通のものを用いてもよい。ここでは、第1電気接続部121と第2電気接続部122とで接点部材130の共用化を図っている。   As the contact member 130, different members may be used for the first electric connection portion 121 and the second electric connection portion 122, respectively, and a common member is used for the first electric connection portion 121 and the second electric connection portion 122. You may. Here, the first electrical connection portion 121 and the second electrical connection portion 122 share the contact member 130.

接点部材130は、第1電気接続部121と第2電気接続部122のそれぞれの一端部121b,122bに取り付けることで、第1電気接続部121及び第2電気接続部122とに対して各々物理的且つ電気的に接続させる。つまり、この相手方端子110は、互いに接触状態にある一対の第1電気接続部121及び一方の接点部材130の組み合わせと、互いに接触状態にある一対の第2電気接続部122及び他方の接点部材130の組み合わせと、を備えている。これにより、この接点部材130は、第1及び第2の電気接続部121,122の一端部121b,122bの間に挿入された電気接続部11の第1壁面11a又は第2壁面11bに接触させることができる。よって、この接点部材130は、その電気接続部11を第1電気接続部121と第2電気接続部122とに電気的に接続させることができる。   The contact member 130 is attached to one end 121b, 122b of each of the first electrical connection 121 and the second electrical connection 122, so that the first electrical connection 121 and the second electrical connection 122 are physically connected to each other. And electrically connected. In other words, the mating terminal 110 includes a combination of the pair of first electrical connection portions 121 and one contact member 130 in contact with each other, and the pair of second electrical connection portions 122 and the other contact member 130 in contact with each other. And a combination. Thereby, the contact member 130 is brought into contact with the first wall surface 11a or the second wall surface 11b of the electric connection portion 11 inserted between the one end portions 121b and 122b of the first and second electric connection portions 121 and 122. be able to. Therefore, the contact member 130 can electrically connect the electric connection part 11 to the first electric connection part 121 and the second electric connection part 122.

接点部材130は、金属(銅、銅合金、アルミニウム、アルミニウム合金等)などの導電性材料によって、バネ性を持つように成形する。この例示では、導電性の金属板を母材とし、切断や折り曲げ等のプレス加工で接点部材130を成形する。   The contact member 130 is formed of a conductive material such as metal (copper, copper alloy, aluminum, aluminum alloy, etc.) so as to have a spring property. In this example, the contact member 130 is formed by press working such as cutting or bending using a conductive metal plate as a base material.

接点部材130は、第1電気接続部121と第2電気接続部122とを嵌入させるように成形する。よって、接点部材130は、環状又は筒状に成形する。例えば、この例示の接点部材130は、互いの筒軸方向を合せて且つ互いに間隔を空けて対向配置された角筒状の2つの環状部131と、それぞれの環状部131を繋ぐ4つの連結部132と、を有する(図20及び図21)。それぞれの環状部131の内方には、第1電気接続部121の一端部121bや第2電気接続部122の一端部122bが嵌入される。それぞれの連結部132は、例えば2つの環状部131の隅部に各々配置し、筒軸方向で向かい合う隅部同士を連結させる。   The contact member 130 is formed so that the first electric connection portion 121 and the second electric connection portion 122 are fitted. Therefore, the contact member 130 is formed in an annular or cylindrical shape. For example, the contact member 130 of this example includes two rectangular cylindrical annular portions 131 arranged to face each other with their cylindrical axes aligned and spaced from each other, and four connecting portions connecting the respective annular portions 131. 132 (FIGS. 20 and 21). One end 121b of the first electric connection portion 121 and one end 122b of the second electric connection portion 122 are fitted inside each of the annular portions 131. Each connecting portion 132 is arranged, for example, at each of the corners of the two annular portions 131 and connects the corners facing each other in the cylinder axis direction.

更に、接点部材130は、それぞれの環状部131の間に、それぞれの環状部131よりも外方に向けて突出させ且つ弾性を持たせた少なくとも1つの接点部133を有する(図20及び図21)。この例示の接点部材130は、同等の突出量で同じ向きに突出させた複数の接点部133を有している。この接点部133は、筒軸方向における両端をそれぞれの環状部131に連結し、かつ、筒軸方向における中央の最大の突出位置に設けた曲面を接点とする。それぞれの接点部133は、最大の突出位置同士を繋ぐことで仮想平面(図示略)を形成する。この例示の仮想平面は、第1電気接続部121や第2電気接続部122が嵌入された際に、それぞれの対向壁面121a,122aに対して平行状態で対向配置される。   Furthermore, the contact member 130 has at least one contact portion 133 between each of the annular portions 131 that protrudes outward from each of the annular portions 131 and has elasticity (FIGS. 20 and 21). ). The illustrated contact member 130 has a plurality of contact portions 133 protruding in the same direction with the same amount of protrusion. The contact portion 133 has both ends in the cylinder axis direction connected to the respective annular portions 131, and a curved surface provided at a central maximum projecting position in the cylinder axis direction is a contact point. Each contact portion 133 forms a virtual plane (not shown) by connecting the maximum projecting positions. When the first electric connection portion 121 and the second electric connection portion 122 are fitted, the imaginary plane in this example is opposed to the respective opposing wall surfaces 121a and 122a in a parallel state.

この相手方コネクタ101においては、その仮想平面同士が互いに平行状態で間隔を空けて対向配置されるように、第1電気接続部121と第2電気接続部122とを各々の接点部材130に嵌入する。これにより、それぞれの接点部材130におけるそれぞれの接点部133同士は、第1電気接続部121と第2電気接続部122のそれぞれの対向壁面121a,122aに対する直交方向で対向配置される。それぞれの仮想平面の間隔は、電気接続部11の板厚よりも狭くする。よって、それぞれの接点部材130においては、その間に電気接続部11を挿入することで、それぞれの接点部133を電気接続部11の第1壁面11aと第2壁面11bとに接触させることができる。従って、第1電気接続部121と第2電気接続部122は、筐体20の第2収容部材40の端子収容室41にて、各々、接点部材130を介して電気接続部11に物理的且つ電気的に接続される。   In the mating connector 101, the first electric connection portion 121 and the second electric connection portion 122 are fitted into the respective contact members 130 such that the virtual planes thereof are arranged parallel to each other and spaced apart from each other. . As a result, the respective contact portions 133 of the respective contact members 130 are arranged to face each other in the direction orthogonal to the respective opposing wall surfaces 121a and 122a of the first electric connection portion 121 and the second electric connection portion 122. The interval between the respective virtual planes is made smaller than the thickness of the electric connection part 11. Therefore, in each of the contact members 130, by inserting the electric connection portion 11 therebetween, the respective contact portions 133 can be brought into contact with the first wall surface 11 a and the second wall surface 11 b of the electric connection portion 11. Therefore, the first electrical connection portion 121 and the second electrical connection portion 122 are physically and individually connected to the electrical connection portion 11 via the contact members 130 in the terminal housing chamber 41 of the second housing member 40 of the housing 20. Electrically connected.

ここで、接点部材130を設ける場合、第1電気接続部121と第2電気接続部122は、各々、上述した接点部(膨出部)を有していてもよく、上述した接点部(膨出部)を有していなくてもよい。接点部(膨出部)を有している場合、この相手方コネクタ101は、接点部材130の有無に拘わらず、相手方端子金具120の共用化を図ることができる。ここでは、第1電気接続部121と第2電気接続部122とに接点部(膨出部)を設けていない。   Here, when the contact member 130 is provided, each of the first electrical connection portion 121 and the second electrical connection portion 122 may have the above-described contact portion (bulging portion), and the above-described contact portion (bulging portion) may be provided. (Protrusion). In the case of having a contact portion (bulging portion), the mating connector 101 can share the mating terminal fitting 120 regardless of the presence or absence of the contact member 130. Here, the first electrical connection portion 121 and the second electrical connection portion 122 are not provided with contact portions (bulging portions).

この相手方コネクタ101は、その相手方端子110を収容する筐体140を備える(図1、図18及び図19)。その筐体140は、相手方端子110が収容される収容部材150(図1、図18及び図19)と、収容された相手方端子110の収容部材150からの抜けを抑える保持部材160(図18及び図19)と、を備える。   The mating connector 101 includes a housing 140 that houses the mating terminal 110 (FIGS. 1, 18, and 19). The housing 140 includes a housing member 150 (FIGS. 1, 18, and 19) in which the counterpart terminal 110 is housed, and a holding member 160 (FIGS. 18 and 19) that prevents the housed counterpart terminal 110 from falling out of the housing member 150. FIG. 19).

収容部材150は、合成樹脂等の絶縁性材料で成形する。この収容部材150は、一対の第1電気接続部121及び一方の接点部材130の組み合わせを収容する第1収容体151と、一対の第2電気接続部122及び他方の接点部材130の組み合わせを収容する第2収容体152と、を有する(図1、図18及び図19)。第1収容体151は、対向壁面121aと一方の接点部材130における接点部133側とを露出させた状態で第1電気接続部121と一方の接点部材130とを囲うように形成する。第2収容体152は、対向壁面122aと他方の接点部材130における接点部133側とを露出させた状態で第2電気接続部122と他方の接点部材130とを囲うように形成する。第1収容体151と第2収容体152は、それぞれの対向壁面121a,122aに対する直交方向で互いに間隔を空けて対向配置する。その間隔は、それぞれの接点部材130の間への電気接続部11の挿入を阻害しない大きさとする。この収容部材150は、その一対の第1収容体151と第2収容体152を相手方端子110毎に設けている。   The housing member 150 is formed of an insulating material such as a synthetic resin. This housing member 150 houses a first housing 151 that houses a combination of a pair of first electrical connection portions 121 and one contact member 130, and houses a combination of a pair of second electrical connection portions 122 and the other contact member 130. (FIGS. 1, 18 and 19). The first container 151 is formed so as to surround the first electrical connection portion 121 and the one contact member 130 in a state where the opposing wall surface 121a and the contact portion 133 side of the one contact member 130 are exposed. The second container 152 is formed so as to surround the second electric connection portion 122 and the other contact member 130 in a state where the opposed wall surface 122a and the contact portion 133 side of the other contact member 130 are exposed. The first container 151 and the second container 152 are opposed to each other at an interval in a direction orthogonal to the respective opposing wall surfaces 121a and 122a. The interval is set to a size that does not hinder insertion of the electrical connection portion 11 between the respective contact members 130. The housing member 150 is provided with a pair of the first housing body 151 and the second housing body 152 for each counterpart terminal 110.

この収容部材150は、コネクタ挿抜方向を筒軸方向とし、その筒軸方向における両端を開口させた筒体153を有している(図1、図18及び図19)。第1収容体151と第2収容体152の全ての組み合わせは、その筒体153の内部空間からコネクタ挿入方向に向けて延在させ、かつ、この筒体153の一端の開口153aから突出させている(図1及び図18)。この筒体153の他端の開口153bには、相手方端子110を挿入するための挿入口153cが相手方端子110毎に設けられている(図19)。また、この筒体153の内方には、第1収容体151と第2収容体152を保持し、かつ、相手方端子110が保持される保持部153dが設けられている(図19)。相手方端子110は、貫通孔124aに挿通させた雄螺子部材B1を介して保持部153dに固定する。その保持部153dには、その雄螺子部材B1が螺合される雌螺子部材N1が挿入嵌合されている(図19)。   The housing member 150 has a cylindrical body 153 in which the connector insertion / removal direction is the cylinder axis direction and both ends in the cylinder axis direction are open (FIGS. 1, 18, and 19). All combinations of the first housing 151 and the second housing 152 extend from the internal space of the cylindrical body 153 in the connector insertion direction, and protrude from the opening 153a at one end of the cylindrical body 153. (FIGS. 1 and 18). In the opening 153b at the other end of the cylindrical body 153, an insertion port 153c for inserting the counterpart terminal 110 is provided for each counterpart terminal 110 (FIG. 19). Further, a holding portion 153d holding the first housing 151 and the second housing 152 and holding the counterpart terminal 110 is provided inside the cylindrical body 153 (FIG. 19). The counterpart terminal 110 is fixed to the holding portion 153d via the male screw member B1 inserted through the through hole 124a. A female screw member N1 to which the male screw member B1 is screwed is inserted and fitted into the holding portion 153d (FIG. 19).

この収容部材150は、筒体153の外方に、電源回路200の筐体201に取り付けるための鍔部154を有する(図1、図18及び図19)。その鍔部154は、雄螺子部材B2が挿通される貫通孔154aを有しており(図22)、その雄螺子部材B2を介して筐体201に固定する(図1)。その筐体201には、その雄螺子部材B2が螺合される雌螺子部N2が形成されている(図22)。   The housing member 150 has a flange portion 154 outside the cylindrical body 153 for attaching to the housing 201 of the power supply circuit 200 (FIGS. 1, 18 and 19). The flange 154 has a through hole 154a through which the male screw member B2 is inserted (FIG. 22), and is fixed to the housing 201 via the male screw member B2 (FIG. 1). The housing 201 is formed with a female screw portion N2 to which the male screw member B2 is screwed (FIG. 22).

筒体153においては、その鍔部154よりもコネクタ挿入方向側(つまり、筐体201から突出させている部分)がコネクタ1の筐体20のコネクタ嵌合部31aとの嵌合部(コネクタ嵌合部)153eとなる(図1、図18及び図19)。そのコネクタ嵌合部153eの外周面には、環状のシール部材Se11が取り付けられている。このコネクタ嵌合部153eは、コネクタ嵌合部31aの内方に挿入嵌合される。シール部材Se11は、コネクタ嵌合部31aとコネクタ嵌合部153eとの間に介在し、双方の壁面に密着する。一方、筒体153における鍔部154よりもコネクタ抜去方向側(つまり、筐体201に埋設させている部分)は、保持部材160との嵌合部153fになる(図18及び図19)。   In the cylindrical body 153, the connector insertion direction side (that is, a portion protruding from the housing 201) of the connector 154 with respect to the flange 154 is a fitting portion (connector fitting) with the connector fitting portion 31 a of the housing 20 of the connector 1. 153e (FIG. 1, FIG. 18, and FIG. 19). An annular seal member Se11 is attached to the outer peripheral surface of the connector fitting portion 153e. The connector fitting portion 153e is inserted and fitted inside the connector fitting portion 31a. The seal member Se11 is interposed between the connector fitting portion 31a and the connector fitting portion 153e, and is in close contact with both wall surfaces. On the other hand, a portion of the cylindrical body 153 closer to the connector removal direction than the flange portion 154 (that is, a portion embedded in the housing 201) is a fitting portion 153f with the holding member 160 (FIGS. 18 and 19).

その保持部材160は、合成樹脂等の絶縁性材料で成形する。この保持部材160は、筒体153の他端の開口153b側で嵌合部153fに嵌合し、相手方端子110の挿入口153cを塞ぐ。この保持部材160は、内方に嵌合部153fを挿入嵌合させる。この保持部材160は、この相手方コネクタ101において、筐体201との嵌合部になる。よって、この保持部材160の外周面には、環状のシール部材Se12が取り付けられている(図18及び図19)。   The holding member 160 is formed of an insulating material such as a synthetic resin. The holding member 160 is fitted to the fitting portion 153f at the opening 153b at the other end of the cylindrical body 153, and closes the insertion opening 153c of the counterpart terminal 110. The holding member 160 inserts and fits the fitting portion 153f inward. The holding member 160 serves as a fitting portion of the mating connector 101 with the housing 201. Therefore, an annular seal member Se12 is attached to the outer peripheral surface of the holding member 160 (FIGS. 18 and 19).

相手方コネクタ101は、このような構成を採っている。   The mating connector 101 has such a configuration.

コネクタ1は、先に示したように、この相手方コネクタ101に挿入嵌合することによって、この相手方コネクタ101に対して電気的に接続させる(図23及び図24)。本実施形態のコネクタ1は、相手方コネクタ101との嵌合状態(つまり、相手方コネクタ101との電気的な接続状態)を保つべく、相手方コネクタ101側に螺子止め固定する。この例示では、先に示したように連結体53を介してシールドシェル20Bをコネクタ嵌合状態で筐体201に螺子止め固定することによって、コネクタ1の相手方コネクタ101側への固定を図る。ここで、このコネクタ1は、その螺子止め固定によって、シールドシェル20Bを筐体201に接触させてその相互間を電気的に接続させる又は導電性の螺子部材を介してシールドシェル20Bを筐体201に電気的に接続させることができる。尚、筐体201は、接地(アース)されている。   As described above, the connector 1 is electrically connected to the mating connector 101 by being inserted and fitted into the mating connector 101 (FIGS. 23 and 24). The connector 1 of the present embodiment is screwed and fixed to the mating connector 101 in order to maintain a fitted state with the mating connector 101 (that is, an electrical connection state with the mating connector 101). In this example, as described above, the connector 1 is fixed to the mating connector 101 side by screwing and fixing the shield shell 20B to the housing 201 in the connector fitted state via the coupling body 53 as described above. Here, the connector 1 is configured such that the shield shell 20B is brought into contact with the housing 201 and electrically connected to each other by screwing and fixing, or the shield shell 20B is connected to the housing 201 via a conductive screw member. Can be connected electrically. The housing 201 is grounded (earthed).

連結体53は、筐体201に対してコネクタ嵌合状態で螺子止め固定できるように形成する。この連結体53は、筐体201の壁面201aに対してコネクタ嵌合状態で接触させるものであってもよく、筐体201の壁面201aに対してコネクタ嵌合状態で接触させずに浮かせたものであってもよい。この例示では、後者のように、連結体53と筐体201とを直接的に接触させていない。   The connecting body 53 is formed so as to be screwed and fixed to the housing 201 in a connector fitted state. The connector 53 may be a connector that is brought into contact with the wall surface 201a of the housing 201 in a connector fitted state, or is a member that is floated without making contact with the wall surface 201a of the housing 201 in a connector fitted state. It may be. In this example, the connecting body 53 and the housing 201 are not directly in contact with each other as in the latter case.

連結体53においては、並列配置された隣り合う2つの副シールド体52の間で筐体201に対しての螺子止め固定を行う。その副シールド体52の間には、螺子止め固定に用いる導電性の雄螺子部材B0の雄螺子部B0aが配置される。この例示の連結体53は、その螺子止め固定に利用する固定部53aを有している(図24)。よって、固定部53aは、並列配置された隣り合う2つの副シールド体52の間に配置する。そして、この固定部53aには、その螺子止め固定に利用する貫通孔54を形成している(図3及び図24)。その貫通孔54は、雄螺子部材B0の雄螺子部B0aを挿通させる孔であり、筐体201の壁面201aに対する直交方向を軸線とする。並列配置された隣り合う2つの副シールド体52の間では、その軸線に沿って雄螺子部材B0の雄螺子部B0aが配置される。   In the connecting body 53, screwing and fixing to the housing 201 is performed between two adjacent sub-shielding bodies 52 arranged in parallel. The male screw portion B0a of the conductive male screw member B0 used for screwing and fixing is arranged between the sub-shields 52. The illustrated connecting body 53 has a fixing portion 53a used for fixing by screwing (FIG. 24). Therefore, the fixing portion 53a is arranged between two adjacent sub-shielding bodies 52 arranged in parallel. The fixing portion 53a is formed with a through hole 54 used for screw fixing (FIGS. 3 and 24). The through hole 54 is a hole through which the male screw portion B0a of the male screw member B0 is inserted, and has an axis perpendicular to the wall surface 201a of the housing 201. The male screw portion B0a of the male screw member B0 is arranged along the axis between two adjacent sub shield bodies 52 arranged in parallel.

ここで、雄螺子部材B0は、筐体201に形成された雌螺子部に螺合されるものであってもよく、スタッドボルトの如く筐体201の壁面201aから垂設されたものであってもよい。固定部53aは、雄螺子部材B0が筐体201の雌螺子部に螺合されるものの場合、その螺合状態で雄螺子部材B0の頭部が接触する座面53aを有する(図24)。一方、雄螺子部材B0が筐体201に垂設されている場合には、この雄螺子部材B0に導電性の雌螺子部材が螺合される。この場合の固定部53aは、その螺合状態で雌螺子部材が接触する座面53aを有する(図24)。この例示では、筐体201に雌螺子部N0が形成されている(図1、図22及び図24)。よって、この例示の固定部53aは、雄螺子部材B0の頭部B0bが接触する座面53aを有している(図24)。 Here, the male screw member B0 may be screwed into a female screw portion formed in the housing 201, or may be a member stood down from the wall surface 201a of the housing 201 like a stud bolt. Is also good. Fixing portion 53a in the case of those male screw member B0 is screwed to the female thread portion of the housing 201, having a seat surface 53a 1 of the head is in contact of the male screw member B0 in its screwed state (FIG. 24) . On the other hand, when the male screw member B0 is suspended from the housing 201, a conductive female screw member is screwed to the male screw member B0. The fixing portion 53a of the case has a seat surface 53a 1 of the female screw member contacts with the screwed state (FIG. 24). In this example, the female screw portion N0 is formed in the housing 201 (FIGS. 1, 22, and 24). Thus, the fixed portion 53a of this exemplary has a seat surface 53a 1 of the head B0b the male screw member B0 contacts (Figure 24).

固定部53aは、並列配置された隣り合う2つの副シールド体52の間に座面53aが配置されるように形成する。これにより、このシールドシェル20Bにおいては、螺子止め固定後の雄螺子部材B0の頭部B0b(雌螺子部材を用いる場合には雌螺子部材)が目視し難い位置に配置されることになる。従って、このコネクタ1においては、その頭部B0bにコネクタ1の着脱作業工程を把握していない者(車両の使用者等)が工具を差し込んで安易に螺子止め固定を解除してしまう、などといった事態の発生を抑えることができる。かかる効果は、雌螺子部材が用いられる場合でも同様に得ることができる。 Fixing portion 53a is formed so as to seat surface 53a 1 is disposed between the two sub shield body 52 adjacent arranged in parallel. As a result, in the shield shell 20B, the head B0b (in the case of using a female screw member, the female screw member) of the male screw member B0 after being screwed and fixed is arranged at a position where it is difficult to see. Therefore, in this connector 1, a person who does not understand the attaching / detaching operation process of the connector 1 to the head B0b (a user of the vehicle or the like) easily inserts a tool and releases the screw fixing. The occurrence of a situation can be suppressed. Such an effect can be obtained similarly even when a female screw member is used.

かかる効果を高めるべく、例えば、固定部53aは、並列配置された隣り合う2つの副シールド体52のそれぞれの筒軸よりも筐体201の壁面201aに寄せて座面53aが配置されるように形成することが望ましい。これにより、このシールドシェル20Bにおいては、並列配置された隣り合う2つの副シールド体52の間で、螺子止め固定後の雄螺子部材B0の頭部B0b(雌螺子部材を用いる場合には雌螺子部材)をそれぞれの副シールド体52から突出させぬ状態で配置することができる。よって、このコネクタ1においては、それぞれの副シールド体52から頭部B0bを突出させたり、シールドシェル20Bの周縁で螺子止め固定が為されて頭部B0bが配置されていたりするものと比較して、その螺子止め固定後の頭部B0bが目視し難くなる。従って、このコネクタ1においては、コネクタ1の着脱作業工程を把握していない者による安易な螺子止め固定の解除の抑制効果を高めることができる。かかる効果は、雌螺子部材が用いられる場合でも同様に得ることができる。 To enhance such an effect, for example, the fixing portion 53a is such that the seat surface 53a 1 is arranged close to the wall surface 201a of the housing 201 than the respective cylinder axes of the two sub shield body 52 adjacent arranged in parallel It is desirable to form it. Thus, in the shield shell 20B, the head B0b of the male screw member B0 after screwing and fixing (in the case of using a female screw member, the female screw member) between two adjacent sub-shielding bodies 52 arranged in parallel. Members) can be arranged without protruding from each sub-shielding body 52. Therefore, in this connector 1, the head B0b protrudes from each sub-shielding body 52, or the head B0b is arranged by screwing and fixing the periphery of the shield shell 20B. The head B0b after screwing and fixing becomes difficult to see. Therefore, in this connector 1, it is possible to enhance the effect of suppressing easy release of the screw fixing by a person who does not understand the attaching / detaching operation process of the connector 1. Such an effect can be obtained similarly even when a female screw member is used.

更に、例えば、固定部53aは、雄螺子部材B0の頭部B0b(雌螺子部材を用いる場合には雌螺子部材)が筒軸(並列配置された隣り合う2つの副シールド体52のそれぞれの筒軸)よりも筐体201の壁面201a側に配置されるように座面53aを形成することが望ましい。これにより、このシールドシェル20Bにおいては、並列配置された隣り合う2つの副シールド体52の間で、壁面201a側の奥まった位置に螺子止め固定後の雄螺子部材B0の頭部B0b(雌螺子部材を用いる場合には雌螺子部材)を配置することができる。従って、このコネクタ1においては、螺子止め固定後の頭部B0bがより目視し難くなっており、安易な螺子止め固定の解除をより適切に抑制することができる。かかる効果は、雌螺子部材が用いられる場合でも同様に得ることができる。 Furthermore, for example, the fixing portion 53a is configured such that the head B0b (in the case of using a female screw member, the female screw member) of the male screw member B0 has a cylindrical shaft (each of two adjacent sub-shielding bodies 52 arranged in parallel). it is desirable that such be placed on the wall surface 201a side of the housing 201 than the shaft) to form a bearing surface 53a 1. Thus, in the shield shell 20B, the head B0b (female screw) of the male screw member B0 after being screwed and fixed at a position recessed on the wall surface 201a side between two adjacent sub-shield bodies 52 arranged in parallel. When a member is used, a female screw member) can be arranged. Therefore, in this connector 1, the head B0b after screwing and fixing is more difficult to visually recognize, and it is possible to more appropriately suppress easy release of screwing and fixing. Such an effect can be obtained similarly even when a female screw member is used.

更に、座面53aは、自らの形成が可能な範囲内で筐体201の壁面201aに最も寄せて配置することが望ましい。これにより、このシールドシェル20Bにおいては、並列配置された隣り合う2つの副シールド体52の間で、壁面201a側の最も奥まった位置に螺子止め固定後の雄螺子部材B0の頭部B0b(雌螺子部材を用いる場合には雌螺子部材)を配置することができる。従って、このコネクタ1においては、螺子止め固定後の頭部B0bが最も目視し難くなっており、安易な螺子止め固定の解除を最も抑制することができる。かかる効果は、雌螺子部材が用いられる場合でも同様に得ることができる。 Furthermore, the seat surface 53a 1, it is desirable to place the most closer to the wall surface 201a of the housing 201 to the extent possible the own formation. Thus, in the shield shell 20B, the head B0b (female) of the male screw member B0 after being screwed and fixed to the deepest position on the wall surface 201a side between two adjacent sub-shield bodies 52 arranged in parallel. When a screw member is used, a female screw member) can be arranged. Therefore, in this connector 1, the head B0b after screwing and fixing is most difficult to visually observe, and the easy release of screwing and fixing can be suppressed most. Such an effect can be obtained similarly even when a female screw member is used.

ここで、座面53aは、主シールド体51の外周壁51aに隣設させることによって、その外周壁51aに寄せて配置することが望ましい。これにより、このシールドシェル20Bにおいては、螺子止め固定後の雄螺子部材B0の頭部B0b(雌螺子部材を用いる場合には雌螺子部材)が、並列配置された隣り合う2つの副シールド体52だけでなく、主シールド体51の外周壁51aにも囲まれることになる。故に、このコネクタ1においては、螺子止め固定後の頭部B0bに対する視認性を更に低下させることができるので、安易な螺子止め固定の解除の更なる抑制を図ることができる。かかる効果は、雌螺子部材が用いられる場合でも同様に得ることができる。 Here, seating surface 53a 1, by causing disposed adjacent the outer peripheral wall 51a of the main shield 51, it is preferable to arranged close to the outer peripheral wall 51a. Thus, in the shield shell 20B, the head B0b of the male screw member B0 after screwing and fixing (in the case of using a female screw member, the female screw member) is connected to two adjacent sub-shielding bodies 52 arranged in parallel. In addition, it is surrounded by the outer peripheral wall 51a of the main shield body 51. Therefore, in the connector 1, the visibility of the head B0b after the screwing and fixing can be further reduced, so that it is possible to further suppress easy release of the screwing and fixing. Such an effect can be obtained similarly even when a female screw member is used.

具体的に、この例示では、固定部53aを片体状の片状部として形成し、筐体201の壁面201aに対向配置される平面とは逆側の平面に座面53aを設ける。また、この例示の雄螺子部材B0は、頭部B0bとの間に片体状の固定部53aを介在させるべく、螺子部B0a側にCリング等の係止部材Rを取り付けている(図1及び図24)。その頭部B0bと係止部材Rは、雄螺子部材B0が軸周りに回動自在となるよう固定部53aを挟み込んでおり、その固定部53aに雄螺子部材B0を保持させる。 Specifically, in this example, to form a fixing portion 53a as piece body shaped flaky portion, provided seat surface 53a 1 to the plane opposite to the plane which is opposed to the wall surface 201a of the housing 201. Further, in the illustrated male screw member B0, a locking member R such as a C-ring is attached to the screw portion B0a side so as to interpose a one-piece fixing portion 53a between the male screw member B0 and the head B0b (FIG. 1). And FIG. 24). The head B0b and the locking member R sandwich the fixing portion 53a so that the male screw member B0 can rotate around the axis, and the fixing portion 53a holds the male screw member B0.

この例示では、コネクタ1と相手方コネクタ101との嵌合が完了している状態で、その雄螺子部材B0を雌螺子部N0に螺合させる。これにより、コネクタ1は、相手方コネクタ101との嵌合状態(相手方コネクタ101との電気的な接続状態)を保持することができ、かつ、第1シールド部材(シールドシェル20B)と第2シールド部材71とを筐体201に電気的に接続して、シールド性能を発揮させることができる。そして、このコネクタ1は、固定部53aの座面53aを上記の如く配置することによって、雄螺子部材B0と雌螺子部N0とによる螺子止め固定の安易な解除が抑制されるので、車両の使用者等によるコネクタ1と相手方コネクタ101との間の安易な嵌合状態の解除を抑制することができる。従って、このコネクタ1は、コネクタ1と相手方コネクタ101とを再び嵌合させた際に不慣れな車両の使用者等が螺子止め固定をし忘れる、などといった事態の発生を抑えることができ、シールド性能を発揮し続けることができる。 In this example, the male screw member B0 is screwed to the female screw portion N0 in a state where the fitting between the connector 1 and the mating connector 101 is completed. Thereby, the connector 1 can maintain the fitted state with the mating connector 101 (the electrical connection state with the mating connector 101), and the first shield member (the shield shell 20B) and the second shield member. 71 can be electrically connected to the housing 201 to exhibit the shielding performance. Then, the connector 1, by the seating surface 53a 1 of the fixed portion 53a arranged as described above, since easy release of the screw fixing by the male screw member B0 and the female screw portion N0 is suppressed, the vehicle It is possible to prevent a user or the like from easily releasing the fitted state between the connector 1 and the mating connector 101. Therefore, this connector 1 can suppress the occurrence of such a situation that an unfamiliar user of the vehicle or the like forgets to fix the screws when the connector 1 is mated with the mating connector 101 again, and the shielding performance is improved. Can continue to demonstrate.

尚、連結体53には、頭部B0bにソケット等の工具(図示略)を差し込み、かつ、その工具で頭部B0bを軸周りに回動させるための円柱状の作業空間53bを形成している(図1、図13、図15、図24)。   Note that a tool (not shown) such as a socket is inserted into the head B0b of the connecting body 53, and a columnar working space 53b for rotating the head B0b around an axis with the tool is formed. (FIGS. 1, 13, 15, and 24).

ところで、本実施形態のコネクタ1は、安易な螺子止め固定の解除の抑制をより確固たるものとするべく、螺子止め固定後の雄螺子部材B0の頭部B0b(雌螺子部材を用いる場合には雌螺子部材)への工具の差し込みを物理的に回避させる。これを具現化するため、このコネクタ1は、並列配置された隣り合う2つの副シールド体52の内の一方には、退避位置と防止位置との間で自らの外周壁52cに沿って相対移動可能な可動部材91を設けている(図1から図5、図13から図15及び図23から図29)。   By the way, the connector 1 of the present embodiment has a head B0b of the male screw member B0 after screwing and fixing (in the case of using a female screw member, the female screw member) in order to more securely suppress the easy release of screwing and fixing. The insertion of the tool into the screw member) is physically avoided. In order to realize this, the connector 1 moves relative to one of two adjacent sub-shielding bodies 52 arranged in parallel along its own outer peripheral wall 52c between a retracted position and a prevented position. A possible movable member 91 is provided (FIGS. 1 to 5, 13 to 15 and 23 to 29).

退避位置とは、螺子止め固定後の雄螺子部材B0の頭部B0b(雌螺子部材を用いる場合には雌螺子部材)に対して工具を差し込み可能な位置のことである(図1から図5、図15、図23、図25及び図28)。このコネクタ1においては、可動部材91が退避位置のときに、螺子止め固定後の雄螺子部材B0の頭部B0bに工具を差し込んで、この雄螺子部材B0の雌螺子部N0に対する螺合状態を解除することができる。一方、防止位置とは、螺子止め固定後の雄螺子部材B0の頭部B0b(雌螺子部材を用いる場合には雌螺子部材)に対して工具を差し込み不能な位置のことである(図24、図26、図27及び図29)。このコネクタ1においては、可動部材91が防止位置のときに、この可動部材91が工具の差し込みを邪魔するので、螺子止め固定後の雄螺子部材B0の頭部B0bに工具を差し込むことができず、この雄螺子部材B0の雌螺子部N0に対する螺合状態を解除することができない。   The retracted position is a position where a tool can be inserted into the head B0b (in the case of using a female screw member, a female screw member) of the male screw member B0 after screwing and fixing (FIGS. 1 to 5). , FIGS. 15, 23, 25 and 28). In this connector 1, when the movable member 91 is at the retracted position, a tool is inserted into the head B0b of the male screw member B0 after screwing and fixing, and the screwing state of the male screw member B0 with the female screw portion N0 is changed. Can be canceled. On the other hand, the prevention position is a position at which the tool cannot be inserted into the head B0b of the male screw member B0 after screwing and fixing (in the case of using a female screw member, the female screw member) (FIG. 24, 26, 27 and 29). In the connector 1, when the movable member 91 is in the prevention position, the movable member 91 hinders insertion of a tool, so that the tool cannot be inserted into the head B0b of the male screw member B0 after screwing and fixing. However, the screwed state of the male screw member B0 to the female screw portion N0 cannot be released.

コネクタ1においては、筐体201への螺子止め固定後に、可動部材91を防止位置まで相対移動させておく。これにより、このコネクタ1においては、その可動部材91を退避位置まで相対移動させなければ、筐体201への螺子止め固定を解除することができない。よって、作業者は、このコネクタ1の着脱作業工程を把握している者であるならば、可動部材91を防止位置から退避位置まで相対移動させ、コネクタ1の筐体201への螺子止め固定を解除することができる。一方、防止位置の可動部材91は、着脱作業工程を把握していない者(車両の使用者等)に、例えば、安易な螺子止め解除作業の実施を躊躇させることができる。よって、このコネクタ1においては、着脱作業工程を把握していない者による安易な螺子止め固定の解除を抑制させることができる。   In the connector 1, after the screws are fixed to the housing 201, the movable member 91 is relatively moved to the prevention position. As a result, in the connector 1, the screw fixing to the housing 201 cannot be released unless the movable member 91 is relatively moved to the retracted position. Therefore, if the worker is a person who has grasped the attaching / detaching operation process of the connector 1, the movable member 91 is relatively moved from the prevention position to the retreat position, and the screw fixing of the connector 1 to the housing 201 is performed. Can be canceled. On the other hand, the movable member 91 at the prevention position can make a person who does not understand the attaching / detaching operation process (a user of the vehicle or the like) hesitate to perform, for example, an easy screwing release operation. Therefore, in this connector 1, it is possible to suppress easy release of the screw fixing by a person who does not know the attaching / detaching operation process.

具体的に、可動部材91は、取付対象の副シールド体52の外周壁52cに対して相対移動自在に取り付ける基部91aを有する(図1、図4、図5、図13、図14、図23及び図25から図29)。この例示の可動部材91は、退避位置と防止位置との間で副シールド体52の周方向に沿って相対回転させるように形成する。そこで、基部91aは、弧状に形成し、副シールド体52の外周壁52cに同心上で相対回転自在に嵌め込む。   Specifically, the movable member 91 has a base portion 91a which is attached to the outer peripheral wall 52c of the sub-shield body 52 to be attached so as to be relatively movable (FIGS. 1, 4, 5, 13, 13, 14, and 23). And FIGS. 25 to 29). The movable member 91 in this example is formed so as to be relatively rotated along the circumferential direction of the sub shield body 52 between the retracted position and the prevention position. Therefore, the base portion 91a is formed in an arc shape, and is fitted to the outer peripheral wall 52c of the sub shield body 52 concentrically and rotatably.

更に、可動部材91は、螺子止め固定後の雄螺子部材B0の頭部B0b(雌螺子部材を用いる場合には雌螺子部材)を覆うカバー部91bを有する(図1、図4、図5、図13から図15、図23及び図25から図29)。そのカバー部91bは、防止位置にて、螺子止め固定後の雄螺子部材B0の頭部B0b(雌螺子部材を用いる場合には雌螺子部材)に対する工具の差し込み軌跡上に配置する。このカバー部91bは、基部91aから径方向の外側に突出させる。このカバー部91bは、退避位置のときに工具の差し込み軌跡から外れた位置へと退避させることができ、かつ、防止位置のときに工具の差し込み軌跡上に配置させることができるように形成する。よって、可動部材91は、退避位置のときに、螺子止め固定後の雄螺子部材B0の頭部B0b(雌螺子部材を用いる場合には雌螺子部材)に対して工具を差し込ませることができる。一方、この可動部材91は、防止位置のときに、カバー部91bが工具の差し込みを邪魔するので、螺子止め固定後の雄螺子部材B0の頭部B0b(雌螺子部材を用いる場合には雌螺子部材)に対して工具を差し込ませることができない。この例示では、基部91aにおける周方向の一端から矩形の片体状のカバー部91bを径方向の外側に突出させている。そして、ここでは、防止位置のときに、上述した工具の円柱状の作業空間53bにカバー部91bを配置している。   Furthermore, the movable member 91 has a cover portion 91b that covers the head B0b (in the case of using a female screw member, the female screw member) of the male screw member B0 after screwing and fixing (FIGS. 1, 4, 5, and 5). 13 to 15, 23 and 25 to 29). The cover portion 91b is arranged at the prevention position on the insertion locus of the tool with respect to the head B0b (in the case of using a female screw member, the female screw member) of the male screw member B0 after screwing and fixing. The cover portion 91b is projected radially outward from the base portion 91a. The cover portion 91b is formed so that it can be retracted to a position deviating from the tool insertion locus when in the retracted position, and can be arranged on the tool insertion locus when in the prevention position. Therefore, when the movable member 91 is at the retracted position, the tool can be inserted into the head B0b (in the case of using a female screw member, the female screw member) of the male screw member B0 after screwing and fixing. On the other hand, when the movable member 91 is in the prevention position, the cover portion 91b hinders the insertion of the tool. Therefore, the head B0b of the male screw member B0 after screwing and fixing (in the case of using a female screw member, the female screw member). The tool cannot be inserted into the member. In this example, a rectangular piece-shaped cover portion 91b projects radially outward from one end of the base portion 91a in the circumferential direction. In this case, the cover portion 91b is arranged in the above-described cylindrical working space 53b of the tool at the prevention position.

この可動部材91は、少なくとも基部91aに可撓性を持たせる。例えば、この可動部材91は、合成樹脂等で成形する。   The movable member 91 makes at least the base portion 91a flexible. For example, the movable member 91 is formed of a synthetic resin or the like.

ここで、可動部材91が取り付けられる副シールド体52の外周壁52cには、可動部材91の周方向への相対回転を案内すると共に、可動部材91の筒軸方向への相対移動を係止する2つのガイド部57を設けている(図1、図3、図13から図15、図23及び図25から図29)。それぞれのガイド部57は、筒軸方向で間隔を空けて対向配置させる。一方のガイド部57は、可動部材91の基部91aにおける軸線方向の一端部を案内及び係止する部位であり、その一端部における軸線方向の端面と外周面とを係止する。他方のガイド部57は、可動部材91の基部91aにおける軸線方向の他端部を案内及び係止する部位であり、その他端部における軸線方向の端面と外周面とを係止する。この例示のガイド部57は、外周壁52cから径方向の外側に突出させ、かつ、その突出方向側の端部から外周壁52cの筒軸方向に突出させたL字状に形成している。可動部材91の基部91aには、軸線方向の両端部に切欠き部91cを有している(図13、図14、図23及び図26)。可動部材91は、それぞれの切欠き部91cにそれぞれのガイド部57を挿通させることによって、取付対象の副シールド体52の外周壁52cに対して相対移動自在に取り付けることができる。それぞれの切欠き部91cは、退避位置のときに、それぞれのガイド部57よりも周方向で防止位置側に配置されるように形成している(図23及び図26)。   Here, the outer peripheral wall 52c of the auxiliary shield body 52 to which the movable member 91 is attached guides the relative rotation of the movable member 91 in the circumferential direction and locks the relative movement of the movable member 91 in the cylinder axis direction. Two guide portions 57 are provided (FIGS. 1, 3, 13 to 15, 23 and 25 to 29). The respective guide portions 57 are arranged facing each other at intervals in the cylinder axis direction. One guide portion 57 is a portion that guides and locks one end portion in the axial direction of the base portion 91a of the movable member 91, and locks the axial end surface and the outer peripheral surface of the one end portion. The other guide portion 57 is a portion that guides and locks the other end portion in the axial direction of the base portion 91a of the movable member 91, and locks the axial end surface and the outer peripheral surface of the other end portion. The illustrated guide portion 57 is formed in an L-shape such that it protrudes radially outward from the outer peripheral wall 52c and protrudes from the end on the protruding direction side in the cylinder axis direction of the outer peripheral wall 52c. The base 91a of the movable member 91 has notches 91c at both ends in the axial direction (FIGS. 13, 14, 23 and 26). The movable member 91 can be relatively movably attached to the outer peripheral wall 52c of the sub-shield body 52 to be attached by inserting the respective guide portions 57 into the respective notches 91c. Each of the notches 91c is formed so as to be disposed closer to the prevention position in the circumferential direction than each of the guides 57 when in the retracted position (FIGS. 23 and 26).

また、可動部材91と可動部材91が取り付けられる副シールド体52との間には、可動部材91を退避位置で保持させる退避時保持機構M1を設けている(図28)。本図では、便宜上、シールドシェル20Bと可動部材91のみを示している。その退避時保持機構M1は、基部91aの内周面から径方向の内側に突出させた突出部91d(図14及び図28)と、取付対象の副シールド体52の外周壁52cに設け、この突出部91dを退避位置で挿入させる溝部52c(図13及び図28)と、を備える。 Further, between the movable member 91 and the sub-shielding body 52 to which the movable member 91 is attached, there is provided an evacuation holding mechanism M1 for holding the movable member 91 at the evacuation position (FIG. 28). In this drawing, only the shield shell 20B and the movable member 91 are shown for convenience. The evacuation holding mechanism M1 is provided on a protruding portion 91d (FIGS. 14 and 28) protruding radially inward from the inner peripheral surface of the base portion 91a and on the outer peripheral wall 52c of the sub-shield body 52 to be attached. And a groove 52c 1 (FIGS. 13 and 28) for inserting the protruding portion 91d at the retracted position.

その突出部91dと溝部52cは、可動部材91を副シールド体52に対して退避位置から防止位置まで相対回転させる際に、突出部91dが溝部52cから抜け出ることができるように形成する。そこで、突出部91dと溝部52cは、周方向におけるカバー部91b側の端面91d,52c11を径方向及び周方向に対して各々傾斜させている(図28)。一方、突出部91dと溝部52cは、可動部材91を副シールド体52に対して退避位置から防止位置側とは逆向きに相対回転させないように形成する。そこで、突出部91dと溝部52cは、周方向におけるカバー部91b側とは逆側の端面91d,52c12を径方向に沿って形成し、その端面91d,52c12同士が互いに係止し合うようにする(図28)。 The protruding portions 91d and the groove 52c 1, when rotated relative from the retracted position of the movable member 91 to the sub-shield 52 to the preventing position, the protruding portion 91d is formed so that it can escape from the groove 52c 1. Therefore, the protruding portion 91d and the groove 52c 1 are allowed to respectively inclined end faces 91d 1, 52c 11 of the cover portion 91b side in the circumferential direction with respect to the radial direction and the circumferential direction (FIG. 28). On the other hand, the protruding portion 91d and the groove 52c 1 is the preventing position side from the retracted position of the movable member 91 to the sub-shield 52 is formed so as not to rotate relative to the opposite direction. Therefore, the protruding portion 91d and the groove 52c 1 is formed along the end face 91d 2, 52c 12 on the opposite side in the radial direction of the cover portion 91b side in the circumferential direction, the end face 91d 2, 52c 12 mutually engaging one another (FIG. 28).

コネクタ1においては、この退避時保持機構M1によって、可動部材91を退避位置で保持することができるので、雄螺子部材B0の螺子止め作業を行う際の作業性の低下を抑えることができる。   In the connector 1, since the movable member 91 can be held at the evacuation position by the evacuation holding mechanism M1, it is possible to suppress a decrease in workability when the male screw member B0 is screwed.

また、可動部材91と可動部材91が取り付けられる副シールド体52との間には、可動部材91を防止位置で保持させる防止時保持機構M2を設けている(図29)。本図では、便宜上、シールドシェル20Bと可動部材91のみを示している。ここで、上述した工具の円柱状の作業空間53bは、可動部材91の相対回転軌跡上で副シールド体52の外周壁52cを部分的に削っている。よって、その外周壁52cは、その相対回転軌跡上で、作業空間53bの壁面53bと交差する隅部52cを有している(図13、図28及び図29)。この例示の防止時保持機構M2は、その隅部52cと可動部材91の突出部91dとを利用する。この防止時保持機構M2においては、可動部材91の防止位置への相対回転と共に突出部91dを作業空間53bに侵入させ、その突出部91dを周方向で隅部52cにおける作業空間53bの壁面53bに係止させる。これにより、この防止時保持機構M2は、可動部材91を防止位置に保持させることができる。 Further, between the movable member 91 and the sub-shielding body 52 to which the movable member 91 is attached, a prevention holding mechanism M2 for holding the movable member 91 at the prevention position is provided (FIG. 29). In this drawing, only the shield shell 20B and the movable member 91 are shown for convenience. Here, the cylindrical working space 53b of the tool described above partially cuts the outer peripheral wall 52c of the sub-shielding body 52 on the relative rotation locus of the movable member 91. Thus, the outer peripheral wall 52c is in its relative rotation locus, and a corner portion 52c 2 which intersects with the wall surface 53b 1 of the working space 53b (FIGS. 13, 28 and 29). Prevention during holding mechanism M2 in this example utilizes a protrusion 91d of the corner 52c 2 and the movable member 91. In the prevention when holding mechanism M2, the protrusion 91d is entering the working space 53b with the relative rotation in the preventing position of the movable member 91, the wall surface 53b of the working space 53b at the corners 52c 2 and the projecting portions 91d in the circumferential direction Lock to 1 . Thereby, the prevention-time holding mechanism M2 can hold the movable member 91 at the prevention position.

この可動部材91は、基部91aが可撓性を有しているので、この基部91aのカバー部91b側を径方向の外側に作業者が撓ませることによって、作業空間53bから突出部91dを抜き出すことができる。故に、この可動部材91は、防止位置から退避位置までの相対回転を行うこともできる。   In this movable member 91, since the base portion 91a has flexibility, the protrusion 91d is extracted from the work space 53b by bending the cover portion 91b side of the base portion 91a outward in the radial direction. be able to. Therefore, the movable member 91 can perform relative rotation from the prevention position to the retreat position.

コネクタ1においては、この防止時保持機構M2によって、可動部材91を防止位置で保持することができるので、防止位置のときにカバー部91bを工具の差し込み軌跡上に配置し続けることができる。よって、このコネクタ1は、着脱作業工程を把握していない者による安易な螺子止め固定の解除を抑制し続けることができる。   In the connector 1, the movable member 91 can be held at the prevention position by the prevention-time holding mechanism M2, so that the cover portion 91b can be continuously arranged on the tool insertion locus at the prevention position. Therefore, the connector 1 can continue to suppress the easy release of the screw fixing by a person who does not understand the attaching / detaching operation process.

以上示したように、本実施形態のコネクタ1及びコネクタ付き電線WHは、螺子止め固定後の雄螺子部材B0の頭部B0b(雌螺子部材を用いる場合には雌螺子部材)を目視し難い位置に配置しているので、コネクタ1の着脱作業工程を把握していない者(車両の使用者等)による安易な螺子止め固定の解除を抑制することができる。更に、本実施形態のコネクタ1及びコネクタ付き電線WHは、螺子止め固定後の雄螺子部材B0の頭部B0b(雌螺子部材を用いる場合には雌螺子部材)に対して工具を差し込むことができないように可動部材91を設けているので、この点からも、コネクタ1の着脱作業工程を把握していない者(車両の使用者等)による安易な螺子止め固定の解除を抑制することができる。従って、本実施形態のコネクタ1及びコネクタ付き電線WHは、そのような者による相手方コネクタ101からの不用意な着脱の機会を減らすことができるので、筐体201への螺子止め固定状態が保たれて、所期のシールド性能を維持し続けることができる。   As described above, the connector 1 and the electric wire with connector WH of the present embodiment are in positions where the head B0b (in the case of using a female screw member, the female screw member) of the male screw member B0 after screwing and fixing is difficult to see. , It is possible to prevent a person who does not understand the attaching / detaching operation process of the connector 1 (a user of the vehicle or the like) from easily releasing the screw fixing. Furthermore, the connector 1 and the electric wire WH with a connector of this embodiment cannot insert a tool into the head B0b (in the case of using a female screw member, the female screw member) of the male screw member B0 after screwing and fixing. Since the movable member 91 is provided as described above, also from this point, it is possible to prevent a person who does not understand the attaching / detaching operation process of the connector 1 (a user of the vehicle or the like) from easily releasing the screw fixing. Accordingly, the connector 1 and the electric wire with connector WH of the present embodiment can reduce the chances of such a person inadvertently attaching and detaching from the mating connector 101, so that the screw-fixed state to the housing 201 is maintained. As a result, the desired shield performance can be maintained.

ところで、先の例示では、副シールド体52の外周壁52cに対して周方向に相対回転させる可動部材91を示している。コネクタ1においては、そのような可動部材91に替えて、次のような可動部材92を用いてもよい(図30から図34)。その可動部材92は、退避位置と防止位置との間で副シールド体52の筒軸方向に沿って相対移動させるように形成する。ここでは、図31と図32に退避位置を示し、図33と図34に防止位置を示している。この可動部材92は、可動部材91と同様の基部92aとカバー部92bとを有している。   By the way, in the above-described example, the movable member 91 that rotates relative to the outer peripheral wall 52c of the sub shield body 52 in the circumferential direction is shown. In the connector 1, the following movable member 92 may be used instead of the movable member 91 (FIGS. 30 to 34). The movable member 92 is formed so as to be relatively moved along the cylinder axis direction of the sub shield body 52 between the retracted position and the prevention position. Here, FIGS. 31 and 32 show the retracted position, and FIGS. 33 and 34 show the preventing position. The movable member 92 has a base 92a and a cover 92b similar to the movable member 91.

また、このコネクタ1は、可動部材91のときと同じように、退避時保持機構M1と防止時保持機構M2とを備えている。可動部材92が取り付けられる副シールド体52の外周壁52cには、筒軸方向で間隔を空けて対向配置させた第1突出部58と第2突出部59とを設けている(図30から図34)。ここでは、第1突出部58を開口52a側に配置し、かつ、第2突出部59を主シールド体51側に配置して、この第1突出部58と第2突出部59とで退避時保持機構M1と防止時保持機構M2とを構成する。そして、ここでは、可動部材92が第1突出部58よりも開口52a側に配置されているときを退避位置とし(図31及び図32)、可動部材92が第1突出部58と第2突出部59との間に挿入されているときを防止位置とする(図33及び図34)。   The connector 1 includes a holding mechanism M1 at the time of evacuation and a holding mechanism M2 at the time of prevention, as in the case of the movable member 91. The outer peripheral wall 52c of the sub shield body 52 to which the movable member 92 is attached is provided with a first protruding portion 58 and a second protruding portion 59 which are opposed to each other at an interval in the cylinder axis direction (FIG. 30 to FIG. 30). 34). Here, the first projecting portion 58 is arranged on the opening 52a side, and the second projecting portion 59 is arranged on the main shield body 51 side, so that the first projecting portion 58 and the second projecting portion 59 can be retracted. The holding mechanism M1 and the prevention-time holding mechanism M2 are configured. Here, when the movable member 92 is disposed closer to the opening 52a than the first projecting portion 58, the retracted position is set (FIGS. 31 and 32), and the movable member 92 is moved to the first projecting portion 58 and the second projecting portion. The insertion position between the first and second portions 59 is defined as a prevention position (FIGS. 33 and 34).

退避位置のときには、第1突出部58が退避時保持機構M1となり、可動部材92の基部92aの防止位置側への動きを第1突出部58が係止する。この例示では、可動部材92を退避位置から防止位置まで相対移動させる際に、基部92aが第1突出部58を乗り越えることができるように、第1突出部58における開口52a側の端面58aを傾斜させている(図30から図34)。   In the retracted position, the first protrusion 58 serves as the retracting holding mechanism M1, and the first protrusion 58 locks the movement of the movable member 92 toward the prevention position of the base 92a. In this example, when the movable member 92 is relatively moved from the retracted position to the prevention position, the end surface 58a of the first protruding portion 58 on the opening 52a side is inclined so that the base portion 92a can get over the first protruding portion 58. (FIGS. 30 to 34).

一方、防止位置のときには、第1突出部58と第2突出部59とが防止時保持機構M2となり、第1突出部58と第2突出部59との間に挿入された可動部材92の基部92aを第1突出部58と第2突出部59とが筒軸方向で挟持する。   On the other hand, when in the prevention position, the first protrusion 58 and the second protrusion 59 become the prevention holding mechanism M2, and the base of the movable member 92 inserted between the first protrusion 58 and the second protrusion 59. The first protrusion 58 and the second protrusion 59 pinch 92a in the cylinder axis direction.

この可動部材92についても、少なくとも基部92aは、可撓性を有している。故に、この可動部材92は、基部92aのカバー部92b側を径方向の外側に作業者が撓ませることによって、第1突出部58と第2突出部59との間から基部92aを抜き出すことができる。よって、この可動部材92は、防止位置から退避位置までの相対移動を行うこともできる。   As for the movable member 92, at least the base portion 92a has flexibility. Therefore, the movable member 92 can extract the base 92a from between the first protrusion 58 and the second protrusion 59 by bending the cover 92b side of the base 92a outward in the radial direction. it can. Therefore, the movable member 92 can perform relative movement from the prevention position to the retreat position.

この可動部材92は、カバー部92bを有する一端部とは逆側の他端部を連結体53に周方向で係止させることによって、副シールド体52の外周壁52cに対する相対回転を規制する(図35)。この相対回転の規制は、退避位置と防止位置の双方で行うことができる。本図では、防止位置を例として挙げている。   The movable member 92 restricts relative rotation of the auxiliary shield body 52 with respect to the outer peripheral wall 52c by locking the other end opposite to the one end having the cover 92b to the connecting body 53 in the circumferential direction ( (FIG. 35). The regulation of the relative rotation can be performed at both the retracted position and the prevention position. In the figure, the prevention position is taken as an example.

本実施形態のコネクタ1及びコネクタ付き電線WHは、このような可動部材92を用いたとしても、先に示した可動部材91と同様の効果を奏することができる。   Even when such a movable member 92 is used, the connector 1 and the connector-equipped electric wire WH of the present embodiment can achieve the same effects as those of the movable member 91 described above.
