Shield connector

摘要

A shield connector includes a female connector housing and a male connector housing. The female connector housing has an axially-extending retainer disposed within the female connector housing and has a radially-extending female-side fitting surface disposed forward of the retainer with a hole formed therethrough. The male connector housing includes a step portion, a male-side fitting surface and a male metal terminal that is mounted in the male connector housing. The male metal terminal has a distal end portion that projects axially from the male-side fitting surface. The step portion is disposed within the male connector housing and has a radially-extending inner peripheral surface that intersects the male-side fitting surface to define a receiving chamber. The male and female connector housings are sized and adapted for releasable connection with each other such that the receiving chamber slidably and releasably receives at least a portion of the retainer in a close-fitting relationship while the distal end portion is inserted through the hole with the male-side fitting surface and the female-side fitting surface being positioned in facial registration with each other.
