Abstract
A cable connection structure includes: cables, each including a jacket and a core wire exposed at an end portion by removing the jacket; a first fixing member configured to fix distal end portions of exposed core wires while holding the cables at predetermined intervals; a second fixing member configured to fix proximal end portions of the exposed core wires while holding the cables at predetermined intervals; and a substrate including a core wire connection electrode configured to electrically connect the core wire at a position between the first fixing member and the second fixing member, wherein the first fixing member and the second fixing member are different members.
Claims16
A cable connection structure comprising:
- a plurality of cables, each including:
- a jacket;
- and
- a core wire exposed at at least a first portion of each of the plurality of cables;
- a substrate including a core wire connection electrode electrically connecting the core wire exposed at at least the first portion of each of the plurality of cables to the substrate,
- a first fixing member fixed to a second portion of each of the plurality of cables distal to the first portion, the first fixing member covering an entire circumference of the second portion of each of the plurality of cables for holding the second portion of each of the plurality of cables at first predetermined intervals;
- a second fixing member fixed to a third portion of each of the plurality of cables proximal to the first portion, the second fixing member covering an entire circumference of the third portion of each of the plurality of cables for holding the third portion of each of the plurality of cables at second predetermined intervals;
- wherein the first fixing member and the second fixing member are separately fixed to the substrate at different positions on the substrate;
- and
- the core wire is fixed to the substrate at a position between the first fixing portion and the second fixing portion.

- a first fixing member fixed to a second portion of each of the plurality of cables distal to the first portion, the first fixing member having a first hole corresponding to each of the plurality of cables for holding the second portion of each of the plurality of cables at first predetermined intervals;
- a second fixing member fixed to a third portion of each of the plurality of cables proximal to the first portion, the second fixing member having a second hole corresponding to each of the plurality of cables for holding the third portion of each of the plurality of cables at second predetermined intervals;
- wherein the first fixing member and the second fixing member are separately fixed to the substrate at different positions on the substrate;
- and
- the core wire is fixed to the substrate at a position between the first fixing portion and the second fixing portion.
