Abstract
A shielded connector having a rear opening for putting a shielded wire through is provided with a shielding terminal that is capable of being closed about the wire at the rear opening so as to improve the electrical shield. The shielded connector includes: an inner terminal connected to an inner conductor of a shielded wire having a shielding member; an inner housing to accommodate the inner terminal; a shielding terminal to cover the inner housing and to be connected to the shielding member of the shielded wire; an outer housing to accommodate the shielding terminal; a lid member provided at a rear opening of the shielding terminal and integrally connected therewith through a hinge; and a pressure contact portion formed on the lid member so as to press the shielding member of the shielded wire, wherein the inner terminal is electrically shielded. The shielded connector further includes a spacer having an engaging plate to lock the shielding terminal to the outer housing, which engaging plate has a pressing portion to press the lid member on the shielding member of the shielded wire.
