US Patent 8926368 Shielded connector

A shielded connector includes: an inner housing including a plurality of terminal accommodation chambers into which male terminals crimped to a plurality of shielded-wire ends of a shielded electric wire are inserted; and a shield shell including a cylindrical shield part which covers the inner housing and a barrel part which crimps and fixes a sheath part of the shielded electric wire. A bottom part of the shield shell is formed with an opening that prevents leading end portions of the male terminals from interfering with the bottom part when the inner housing is inserted into the shield part.
