Patent attributes
An outer conductor terminal by which productivity of the outer conductor terminal having crimping portions provided with reticulated knurling grooves on the inner surfaces can be improved. An outer conductor terminal of a shielded connector is provided with a pair of shielded conductor crimping portions to be crimped onto a shielded conductor which is exposed by stripping a sheath at an end of a shielded cable. The shielded conductor crimping portions are crimped such that the shielded conductor crimping portion overlaps the shielded conductor crimping portion. Reticulated knurling grooves are formed on the inner surfaces of the shielded conductor crimping portions, but they are not formed on an overlapping portion of the inner surface of the shielded conductor crimping portion which is placed on the shielded conductor crimping portion.
