Abstract
Abstract In a shielded-cable connector ( 10 ) for use in connecting a mating connector with a shielded cable ( 13 ), a metal plate ( 22 ) is used to face a side surface of the shielded cable. A positioning portion ( 27 ) is engaged with an insulating inner sheath ( 15 ) of the shielded cable. Thus, a predetermined positional relationship is given between the metal plate and a core wire ( 14 ) of the shielded cable. The core wire is connected to a contact ( 11 ) held by an insulator housing ( 21 ). The contact has a contacting portion ( 18 ) to be connected to the mating connector and a cable connecting portion 19 to be connected to the core wire.
