Claims
- 1. A method of connecting electrical wires to a shielded electrical connector, said method comprising:
- providing contact pins each having a mating contact piece on one end thereof and a joint portion on the other end thereof for connecting an electric wire;
- disposing and holding said contact pins in an insulating housing, said insulating housing having an elongated rectangular cross-section having long sides and short sides;
- providing a shield hood member;
- providing a shield lid member;
- placing a flat portion of said shield lid member on said insulating housing with a said long side of said insulating housing on a surface of said flat portion,
- providing a shield connecting portion at a generally central portion of a rear end of said flat portion, said shield connecting portion being substantially U-shaped and extending in a direction substantially perpendicular to the plane of said flat portion and to the surface of said flat portion on which said insulating housing is placed, and
- providing a pair of engaging arms, one at each side of said flat portion and extending in a direction substantially perpendicular to the plane of said flat portion and to the surface of said flat portion on which said insulating housing is placed, said shield hood member having a front envelope which surrounds at least said contact portions of said contact pins disposed in said insulating housing, said front envelope being hollow and having an elongatedly rectangular cross-section having long sides and short sides, a rear envelope being attached to a rear end of said front envelope and having an electric wire lead-out portion extending from a generally central portion of the rear end of said rear envelope, said lead-out portion having a U-shaped groove, said rear envelope having walls which are completely continuous, except for an opening which is completely closed by said flat portion of said shield lid member, said walls including an enveloping flat wall portion extending from one of the long sides of the rear end of said front envelope to said electric wire lead-out portion, side wall portions upright at each side of said enveloping flat wall portion and extending rearwardly from each of the short sides of the rear end of said front envelope, and shoulder side wall portions upright at each side of said enveloping flat wall portion and extending from a rear end of each of said side wall portions to each side of said electric wire lead-out portion, providing each of said side wall portions with an engaging portion which is engaged by one of said engaging arms of said shield lid member,
- connecting terminal end parts of said electric wires to said joint portions of the corresponding contact pins and a shield layer of said electric wires to said shield connecting portion by crimping, and installing said insulating housing in said shield hood member with the contact portions of said contact pins being surrounded by said front envelope of said shield hood member and said shield connecting portion being disposed in said U-shaped groove of said electric wire lead-out portion, and coupling said shield lid member to said shield hood member to close said opening of said shield hood member by engaging each of said engaging arms with the corresponding engaging portion of said shield hood member.
- 2. A method as claimed in claim 1, wherein said shield lid member and said shield hood member are detachable from one another.
- 3. A method of connecting electrical wires to a shielded electrical connector as claims in claim 1, further comprising:
- providing said engaging arms with openings adapted to engage with protrusions provided on an outer side of said side wall portions of said shield hood member.
- 4. A method of connecting electrical wires to a shielded electrical connector as claimed in claim 1, further comprising:
- providing an insulating hood for accommodating and enveloping said shield hood member and said shield lid member.
- 5. A method of connecting electrical wires to a shielded electrical connector as claimed in claim 4, further comprising providing said insulating hood with inner side walls and providing said shield hood member on outer sides of said side wall portions thereof with further protrusions, whereby said insulating hood is coupled and fixed to said shield hood member by engaging said further protrusions with said inner side walls.
