Abstract

A male connector (10) is mounted to a case (C) of a device and includes a bolt (B) with a tightening portion (B1) to be engaged by a tool for screwing the bolt into a bolt hole (C2). A shield (20) includes an insertion hole (22) for receiving the bolt (B) and a bolt cap (40) covers the tightening portion (B1). A seat (21) is provided adjacent the insertion hole (22) and is sandwiched by an edge of the bolt hole (C2) and the tightening portion (B1) in the axial direction. A flange (B12) projects out from the tightening portion (B1). A mounting recess (D) is formed between the flange (B12) and the seat (21). A mounting portion (42) is mounted in the mounting recess (D) and engages the bolt cap (40) to hold the bolt cap (40) on the tightening portion (B1).
