A shield connector includes a male connector having a first housing accommodating therein a male terminal and a first shield pipe, and a female connector having a second housing accommodating therein a female terminal and a second shield pipe. When the male and female connectors are fitted to each other, the male terminal is fitted to the female connector and distal end portions of the first and second shield pipes are fitted to each other. At this time, upper and lower halves of the distal end portion of the first shield pipe are disposed outside an upper half of and inside a lower half of the distal end portion of the second shield pipe, respectively.

1. A shield connector including a male connector having a male terminal to which a covered conductor of a first shield wire is connected, a first shield pipe to which a shield layer of the first shield wire is connected, and a first housing for accommodating therein the male terminal and the first shield pipe; and a female connector having a female terminal to which a covered conductor of a second shield wire is connected, a second shield pipe to which a shield layer of the second shield wire is connected, and a second housing for accommodating therein the female terminal and the second shield pipe, wherein when the male and female connectors are fitted to each other, the male terminal is fitted to the female terminal and distal end portions of the first and second shield pipes are fitted to each other, the improvement comprising: the first and second shield pipes being arranged such that an axis of the first shield pipe is positioned away from reference faces of the male and female terminals with respect to a central axis passing through distal-end fitting portions of the male and female terminals and an axis of the second shield pipe is positioned close to the reference faces with respect to the central axis, as viewed in a direction perpendicular to the axes of the first and second shield pipes, wherein the distal end portion of each of the first and second shield pipes includes first and second halves that are individually located remote from and close to the reference faces of the male and female terminals with respect to the axes of the first and second shield pipes, wherein the first and second halves of the distal end portion of the first shield pipe are arranged outside the first half and inside the second half of the distal end portion of the second shield pipe, respectively, when the male and female terminals are fitted to each other, wherein the first and second shield pipes are each comprised of a cylindrical pipe, wherein each of the first and second shield pipes is formed at the distal end portion with two slots that axially extend and disposed diametrically opposite to each other, the two slots dividing the distal end portion into the first and second halves, wherein the first half of the distal end portion of the first shield pipe is larger in radius of curvature than the first half of the distal end portion of the second shield pipe, and wherein the second half of the distal end portion of the first shield pipe is smaller in radius of curvature than the second half of the distal end portion of the second shield pipe. 2. The shield connector according the claim 1, wherein each of the first and second housings has outer and inner housings between which a corresponding one of the first and second shield pipes is mounted, and the male and female terminals are disposed in the inner housings of the first and second housings, respectively. 3. The shield connector according the claim 2, further including: a first ring disposed in the first shield pipe coaxially therewith for coaxially holding the first shield wire, and a second ring disposed in the second shield pipe coaxially therewith for coaxially holding the second shield wire. 4. The shield connector according to claim 3, wherein the male and female terminals are each fabricated by press-forming a thin metal plate, with their bottom faces that constitute the reference faces being used as a reference for fabrications, and a vertical distance between a bottom face and a top face of the male terminal at its distal end portion is smaller than a vertical distance between a bottom face and a top face of the female terminal. 5. A shield connector including a male connector having a male terminal to which a covered conductor of a first shield wire is connected, a first shield pipe to which a shield layer of the first shield wire is connected, and a first housing for accommodating therein the male terminal and the first shield pipe; and a fe male connector having a female terminal to which a covered conductor of a second shield wire is connected, a second shield pipe to which a shield layer of the second shield wire is connected, and a second housing for accommodating therein the female terminal and the second shield pipe, wherein when the male and female connectors are fitted to each other, the male terminal is fitted to the female terminal and distal end portions of the first and second shield pipes are fitted to each other, the improvement comprising: the first and second shield pipes being arranged such that an axis of the first shield pipe is positioned away from reference faces of the male and female terminals with respect to a central axis passing through distal-end fitting portions of the male and female terminals and an axis of the second shield pipe is positioned close to the reference faces with respect to the central axis, as viewed in a direction perpendicular to the axes of the first and second shield pipes, wherein the distal end portion of each of the first and second shield pipes includes first and second halves that are individually located remote from and close to the reference faces of the male and female terminals with respect to the axes of the first and second shield pipes, and wherein the first and second halves of the distal end portion of the first shield pipe are arranged outside the first half and inside the second half of the distal end portion of the second shield pipe, respectively, when the male and female terminals are fitted to each other, wherein the first and second shield pipes are each comprised of a cylindrical pipe, wherein the distal end portion of only one of the first and second shield pipes is formed with two slots axially extending and located diametrically opposite to each other, the two slots dividing the distal end portion of the only one of the first and second shield pipes into the first and second halves, wherein the first half of the distal end portion of the first shield pipe is larger in radius of curvature than the first half of the distal end portion of the second shield pipe, and wherein the second half of the distal end portion of the first shield pipe is smaller in radius of curvature than the second half of the distal end portion of the second shield pipe. 6. The shield connector according the claim 5, wherein each of the first and second housings has outer and inner housings between which a corresponding one of the first and second shield pipes is mounted, and the male and female terminals are disposed in the inner housing of the first and second housings, respectively. 7. The shield connector according the claim 6, further including: a first ring disposed in the first shield pipe coaxially therewith for coaxially holding the first shield wire, and a second ring disposed in the second shield pipe coaxially therewith for coaxially holding the second shield wire. 8. The shield connector according to claim 6, wherein the male and female terminals are each fabricated by press-forming a thin metal plate, with their bottom faces that constitute the reference faces being used as a reference for fabrications, and a vertical distance between a bottom face and a top face of the male terminal at its distal end portion is smaller than a vertical distance between a bottom face and a top face of the female terminal.
