  • Patent number: 9093782
    Abstract: Disclosed is a shield connector structure preventing improper connection of a shield electric wire. The shield connector includes a housing fixed to an outer face of a metal case and a shield member connecting a shield part of the shield electric wire and the metal case, on one of the outer face of the metal case and an opposite face of the housing is formed a pin (projection) projecting toward the other, on the other are formed a positioning hole receiving the pin and a recess, the recess includes a slant face slanted in a peripheral direction about a center axis of an insertion hole, and abutting of the pin of the improper combination onto the slant face rotates a bolt hole of the metal case and a through hole of the housing about the center axis, making it impossible for a bolt to thread into.
