A shielding terminal and a mounting method therefore

摘要

To further strengthen a fastening force of a shielding terminal to a shielded cable. ÄSolutionÜ A locking member 14 is mounted in an area extending from an opening 22 of a covering wall portion 21 to an outer crimping portion 23 of an outer terminal 12, and is fixed with respect to the outer terminal 12 so as not to come out downward and move forward and backward by mounting plates 41 wrapping around the outer crimping portion 23. At this stage, a locking edge 45 at the leading end of the locking member 14 faces a bottom end of the rear end of a connecting portion 15 of an inner terminal 11 so as to be engageable therewith for locking. Accordingly, even if the inner terminal 11 tries to come out of a dielectric element 13 upon action of a pulling force on a core 2 of a shielded cable 1, the rear end of the connecting portion 15 comes into contact with the locking edge 45 of the locking member 14 to prevent such a movement.
