Terminal treatment apparatus for a coaxial cable to separate a sheath from a conductor

A terminal treatment apparatus for a coaxial cable including a core member having an inner conductor covered with an insulator, an outer conductor provided around the core member and formed of a plurality of wires, and a sheath covering an outer circumference of the outer conductor, the terminal treatment apparatus comprising:

• a terminal widening jig that widens a terminal of the outer conductor away from the core member by compressing a terminal-near portion of the exposed outer conductor from an outer circumferential side of the coaxial cable to deform the terminal-near portion of the exposed outer conductor,
• wherein the terminal widening jib includes:
• a pair of shaping blocks that separably contact each other, each shaping block including a groove formed on a side facing the other shaping block,
• wherein, when the shaping blocks are disposed around and in contact with the outer conductor, a holding hole of a right hexagonal shape or a right octagonal shape is formed by the grooves, and
• when the terminal-near portion of the outer conductor is disposed in the holding hole and then shaping blocks are close to each other, the holding hole compresses the terminal-near portion of the outer conductor and the outer conductor is widened away from the core member.
