- The outer housing may include a coupling groove at an end to allow the end of the braided net cover to enter and be coupled.
- The connector may further include a first locking step extending along a circumference of an outer surface of the braided net cover, a second locking step provided on an inner surface of the outer binding member to be caught on the first locking step, a plurality of locking protrusions provided on an outer surface of the outer housing, and a plurality of locking grooves provided on the outer binding member to be fastened to the plurality of locking protrusions.
- The braided net cover may include an elastically deformable material.
- A distance from an end of the braided net cover entering the coupling groove to the first locking step may be configured to be longer than a depth of the coupling groove.
- The first locking step may be configured to maintain in a state of being spaced apart from an end of the outer housing before the outer binding member is fastened.
- The first locking step may be configured to contact with an end of the outer housing by being elastically deformed after the outer binding member is fastened.
- The braided net cover may include at least one sealing lip provided continuously along a circumference of the end entering the coupling groove and being in contact with an inner surface of the coupling groove to seal a gap.

The braidednet cover 170 may protect a connection portion (a binding ring fastening portion) of the braidednet 105 from an external impact and moisture inflow by covering and protecting the outside of a portion where the braidednet 105 is connected to themetal shielding member 130. - The outer binding
member 180 is installed to cover the outside of a portion where thebraided net cover 170 and theouter housing 120 are coupled and maintains the binding between thebraided net cover 170 and theouter housing 120. - Referring to
FIGS. 4 and 5 , the high voltage shieldedconnector 100 includes theouter housing 120, the braidednet cover 170, and a binding means for firmly fastening theouter fastening member 180. The binding means may include afirst locking step 171, asecond locking step 181, a plurality oflocking protrusions 124, and a plurality oflocking grooves 182. - The
first locking step 171 protrudes from an outer surface of the braidednet cover 170 adjacent to one end coupled to theouter housing 120 and is continuously formed along a circumference of the braidednet cover 170. Thesecond locking step 181 is formed in a step shape on an inner surface of the outer bindingmember 180 so that thefirst locking step 171 of the braidednet cover 170 may be caught thereon when the outer bindingmember 180 is fastened. - The plurality of locking
protrusions 124 protrudes from an outer surface of theouter housing 120, and the plurality of lockinggrooves 182 is provided on theouter fastening member 180 to be fastened to the plurality of lockingprotrusions 124 in a corresponding manner, respectively. - Therefore, when the braided
net cover 170 is mounted and then the outer bindingmember 180 is fastened to the outside thereof, thefirst locking step 171 of the braidednet cover 170 is bound by being caught on thesecond locking step 181 of the outer bindingmember 180, and the lockinggrooves 182 of the outer bindingmember 180 may be caught on and fastened to the lockingprotrusions 124 of theouter housing 120, respectively. - As illustrated in
FIG. 6 , the braidednet cover 170 may be set such that a distance L2 from an end thereof entering thecoupling groove 122 to thefirst locking step 171 is longer than a depth L1 of thecoupling groove 122. Therefore, thefirst locking step 171 of the braidednet cover 170 may be maintained in a state of being spaced apart from the end of theouter housing 120 before the outer bindingmember 180 is fastened, and as illustrated inFIG. 5 , may be in close contact with the end of theouter housing 120 by being elastically deformed after the outer bindingmember 180 is fastened. - As such, the end of the braided
net cover 170 entering thecoupling groove 122 is in dose contact with an inner surface of thecoupling groove 122 by being elastically deformed after the outer bindingmember 180 is fastened, and when thefirst locking step 171 is fastened to be in close contact with the end of theouter housing 120, a gap between coupling portions is sealed, so that moisture inflow from the outside to the inside may be blocked. Accordingly, corrosion of the portion where themetal shielding member 130 and the braided net 105 are connected may be prevented. - As illustrated in
FIG. 6 , the braidednet cover 170 may include at least one sealinglip 172 provided continuously along a circumference of the end entering thecoupling groove 122 and being in contact with the inner surface of thecoupling groove 122 to seal a gap. The sealinglip 172 has a mountain shape in cross section and may be formed integrally with the braidednet cover 170 in a process of manufacturing the braidednet cover 170. - The sealing
lip 172 may come into close contact with the inner surface of thecoupling groove 122 by being elastically deformed inside thecoupling groove 122 when the outer bindingmember 180 is fastened, thereby enhancing the effect of sealing the gap between the coupling portions. - As such, in the high voltage shielded
connector 100 according to the present embodiment, because the braidednet cover 170 and the outer bindingmember 180 are fastened to the outside of the portion where themetal shielding member 130 and the braided net 105 are connected, the portion where themetal shielding member 130 and the braided net 105 are connected is sealed so that moisture inflow from the outside to the inside may be blocked, and accordingly, corrosion of the portion where themetal shielding member 130 and the braided net 105 are connected may be prevented. - Further, in the high voltage shielded
connector 100 according to the present embodiment, because the braidednet cover 170 and the outer bindingmember 180 are installed on the outside of the portion where themetal shielding member 130 and the braided net 105 are connected, the binding of the connection portion of the braided net 105 may be reinforced, and accordingly, the portion where themetal shielding member 130 and the braided net 105 are connected may be protected from an external impact. - As is apparent from the above, a high-voltage shielded connector according to an embodiment of the disclosure can block moisture inflow from the outside to the inside by sealing a portion where a metal shielding member and a braided net are connected because a braided net cover and an outer binding member are fastened to the outside of the portion where the metal shielding member and the braided net are connected, so that corrosion of the portion where the metal shielding member and the braided net are connected can be prevented.
- Further, the high voltage shielded connector according to an embodiment of the disclosure can reinforce the binding of the connection portion of the braided net because the braided net cover and the outer binding member are installed on the outside of the portion where the metal shielding member and the braided net are connected, so that the portion where the metal shielding member and the braided net are connected can be protected from an external impact.
- Although a few exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure have been shown and described, it would be appreciated by those skilled in the art that changes may be made in these exemplary embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the disclosure, the scope of which is defined in the claims and their equivalents.
