Abstract
A shield wire assembly comprises a shield wire, a conductive ferrule, a wire seal and a stopper. The shield wire includes a central conductor and a braided shielding wire. The ferrule is conductively connected to, and adapted to ground, the braided shielding wire. The stopper is arranged between the ferrule and the wire seal, and includes a first stopper portion suppressing displacement of the ferrule in an inward radial direction and a second stopper portion suppressing displacement of the ferrule in a direction toward the wire seal.
Claims20
A shield wire assembly, comprising:
- a shield wire including a braided wire;
- a conductive ferrule adapted to ground the braided wire;
- a wire seal adapted to form a seal with the shield wire;
- and
- a stopper made from an electrical insulating material and assembled between the ferrule and the wire seal, the stopper having:
- a first stopper portion suppressing displacement of the ferrule in an inward radial direction;
- and
- a second stopper portion suppressing displacement of the ferrule in a direction toward the wire seal, the second stopper portion defining a flange projecting in an outward radial direction, a diameter of the flange being greater than a diameter of the ferrule.
An electrical connector, comprising:
- a connector housing defining a wire accommodation space;
- and
- a shield wire assembly insertable into the wire accommodation space in a first axial direction, including:
- a shield wire extending in the first axial direction and including a braided wire;
- a conductive ferrule adapted to ground the braided wire;
- a wire seal adapted to form a seal with the shield wire;
- and
- a stopper made from an electrical insulating material and assembled between the ferrule and the wire seal, the stopper having:
- a first stopper portion suppressing displacement of the ferrule in an inward radial direction, including:
- a displacement permitting portion including permitting an elastic element of the ferrule to be displaced in the inward radial direction toward the shield wire;
- and
- a displacement regulating portion preventing displacement of the ferrule in the inward radial direction;
- and
- a second stopper portion suppressing displacement of the ferrule in a direction toward the wire seal.
A shield wire assembly, comprising:
- a shield wire including a braided wire;
- a conductive ferrule adapted to ground the braided wire;
- a wire seal adapted to form a seal with the shield wire;
- and
- a stopper made from an electrical insulating material and assembled between the ferrule and the wire seal, the stopper having:
- a first stopper portion suppressing displacement of the ferrule in an inward radial direction, the first stopper portion including a displacement permitting portion adapted to permit an elastic piece of the ferrule to be displaced in the inward radial direction toward the shield wire;
- and
- a second stopper portion suppressing displacement of the ferrule in a direction toward the wire seal.
An electrical connector, comprising:
- a connector housing defining a wire accommodation space;
- and
- a shield wire assembly insertable into the wire accommodation space in a first axial direction, including:
- a shield wire extending in the first axial direction and including a braided wire;
- a conductive ferrule adapted to ground the braided wire;
- a wire seal adapted to form a seal with the shield wire;
- and
- a stopper made from an electrical insulating material and assembled between the ferrule and the wire seal, the stopper having:
- a first stopper portion suppressing displacement of the ferrule in an inward radial direction;
- and
- a second stopper portion suppressing displacement of the ferrule in a direction toward the wire seal, the second stopper portion including a flange projecting in an outward radial direction, the flange abutting an internal wall of the connector housing defining the wire accommodation space in the first axial direction.
