Further, on the peripheral edge portion 54, vapor-deposition plating pressure-contact pieces 57 having a V-shape are formed obliquely upward at intervals of 120 degrees so as to be offset from the outer-peripheral shell pressure-contact pieces 56 by 60 degrees. In addition, notches 60 are formed on both sides to give elasticity.

このようにして形成されたシールドプレート52を前記外周シェル40の下方から圧入すると、外周シェル圧接片56が係止段部40aを乗り越えて係止段部40aに係止するとともに、蒸着メッキ圧接片57がカメラ収容樹脂ケース26の内面の蒸着メッキ27に圧接する。この時、外周シェル圧接片56の先端部が外周シェル40の係止段部40aに圧接し、蒸着メッキ圧接片57の屈曲部がカメラ収容樹脂ケース26の蒸着メッキ27に圧接し、シールドプレート52の平面部53と周縁部54は、外周シェル40の側面、突起部58の底面と側面との間に隙間59が生ずるようにする。この結果、外周シェル圧接片56が係止段部40aに、蒸着メッキ圧接片57が蒸着メッキ27にそれぞれより確実に圧接して電気的に接続される。
なお、前記外周シェル40が円筒形であるため、外周シェル圧接片56と蒸着メッキ圧接片57は、それぞれ120度間隔で3個ずつとしたが、前記外周シェル40の形状や目的に応じて2個、4個、5個、それ以上などとすることができる。
When the shield plate 52 thus formed is press-fitted from below the outer shell 40, the outer shell pressure contact piece 56 rides over the locking step portion 40a and locks on the locking step portion 40a, and at the same time, the vapor deposition plating pressure contact piece is pressed. 57 is pressed against the vapor deposition plating 27 on the inner surface of the camera housing resin case 26. At this time, the tip of the outer shell pressure contact piece 56 is in pressure contact with the locking step portion 40a of the outer shell 40, the bent portion of the vapor deposition plating pressure contact piece 57 is in pressure contact with the vapor deposition plating 27 of the camera housing resin case 26, and the shield plate 52. The flat surface portion 53 and the peripheral edge portion 54 form a gap 59 between the side surface of the outer peripheral shell 40 and the bottom surface and the side surface of the protruding portion 58. As a result, the outer shell pressure contact piece 56 and the evaporation plating pressure contact piece 57 are more surely pressed and electrically connected to the locking step portion 40a and the deposition plating 27, respectively.
Since the outer shell 40 has a cylindrical shape, the outer shell pressure contact pieces 56 and the vapor deposition plating pressure contact pieces 57 are three at 120° intervals. It can be 4, 4, 5 or more.

Then, the connection pin 44 is inserted and connected to the lower contact 33, and the shell portion 46 is connected to the lower shell 39. The board-side connector 31 is connected to the camera module 29 via the wiring board 28, and the lens 30 collects an external image on an internal image sensor.

このようにしてカメラ収容樹脂ケース26に同軸コネクタ23を組み込み、カメラモジュール29を接続して車体22の所定位置に取り付けられる。
前記カメラ収容樹脂ケース26の反対側に突出した同軸コネクタ23の嵌合筒部43に同軸ケーブル24を接続した中継ジャック25を差し込む。すると、中継ジャック25の嵌合筒体51が嵌合筒部43の外周に沿って嵌合され、中継ジャック25の同軸側シェル50が同軸コネクタ23の上部シェル38に接続するとともに、同軸ケーブル24の同軸芯線48に接続された同軸側コンタクト47が同軸コネクタ23の上部コンタクト32に接続される。
このようにして組み立てと接続を完了する。

The relay jack 25 to which the coaxial cable 24 is connected is inserted into the fitting cylindrical portion 43 of the coaxial connector 23 that protrudes on the opposite side of the camera housing resin case 26. Then, the fitting cylinder 51 of the relay jack 25 is fitted along the outer periphery of the fitting cylinder portion 43, the coaxial side shell 50 of the relay jack 25 is connected to the upper shell 38 of the coaxial connector 23, and the coaxial cable 24 is connected.
