An electronic apparatus (1A) includes a case (10), a cable (30) drawn out from the case (10), a bonding intermediating member (40) that is made of a resin and joined to the cable (30), a cylindrical clamp (50) holding the cable (30), and a sealing resin part (60) filling an internal space defined by the case (10) and the clamp (50). The cable (30) has a core wire (31) and a sheath (33) that is made of a resin covering the core wire (31) and the core wire (31) is exposed not to be covered by the sheath (33) at an end of the cable (30). The bonding intermediating member (40) has a cylindrical base (41) covering an outer circumferential face of the sheath (33) and an extension part (42) extending from the base (41) and bonding to the sealing resin part (60). The bonding intermediating part (40) is fixed to the cable (30) by welding the base (41) onto the sheath (33). ## Claims ### Claim 1 A manufacturing method of an electronic apparatus that comprises a case having an opening; an electronic component housed in the case; a cable whose one end is inserted into the opening to be electronically connected to the electronic component and the other end is drawn out to outside; a bonding intermediating member that is made of a resin and joined to the cable; a cylindrical clamp that fits into the opening and holds the cable when the bonding intermediating member fits into the cylindrical clamp; and a sealing resin part that fills an internal space defined by the case and the cylindrical clamp, the method comprising: a step of manufacturing the bonding intermediating member so as to have a cylindrical base and a cylindrical extension part extending from the cylindrical base; a step of joining the bonding intermediating member to the one end side of the cable so that an outer circumferential face of a sheath is covered by the cylindrical base and the cylindrical extension part extends from the cylindrical base toward the one end side of the cable; a step of fixing the bonding intermediating member to the cable by welding the cylindrical base onto the sheath; and a step of filling the internal space defined by the case and the cylindrical clamp with the sealing resin part to bond the sealing resin part to the cylindrical extension part of the bonding intermediating member, wherein an inner circumferential face and an outer circumferential face of the cylindrical extension part at a tip side and an end face at the tip side of the cylindrical extension part in an axial direction are all covered by the sealing resin part, and an inner circumferential face of the cylindrical base is completely in physical contact with the outer circumferential face of the sheath. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The manufacturing method of the electronic apparatus according to claim 1, wherein a thickness of a portion of the cylindrical base to be welded onto the sheath before the welding is a value in the range of 0.3 mm to 0.5 mm. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The manufacturing method of the electronic apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the sealing resin part is formed of one of an epoxy resin and a polyurethane resin, the bonding intermediating member is formed of one of a polybutylene terephthalate resin, a polyurethane resin, a nylon-based resin, and a fluorine-based resin, and the sheath is formed of one of a polyvinyl chloride resin, a polyurethane resin, and a fluorine-based resin. ### Claim 4 An electronic apparatus comprising: a case having an opening; an electronic component housed in the case; a cable whose one end is inserted into the opening to be electronically connected to the electronic component and the other end is drawn out to outside; a bonding intermediating member that is made of a resin and joined to the cable; a cylindrical clamp that fits into the opening and holds the cable when the bonding intermediating member fits into the cylindrical clamp; and a sealing resin part that fills an internal space defined by the case and the cylindrical clamp, wherein the cable has a core wire comprising a conductive wire and a sheath that is made of a resin covering the core wire, the core wire is exposed at the one end side of the cable without being covered by the sheath, the bonding intermediating member has a cylindrical base covering an outer circumferential face of the sheath and a cylindrical extension part extending from the cylindrical base toward the one end side of the cable and being bonded to the sealing resin part, wherein an inner circumferential face and an outer circumferential face of the cylindrical extension part at a tip side and an end face at the tip side of the cylindrical extension part in an axial direction are all covered by the sealing resin part, an inner circumferential face of the cylindrical base is completely in physical contact with the outer circumferential face of the sheath, and the bonding intermediating member is fixed to the cable by welding the cylindrical base onto the sheath. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The electronic apparatus according to claim 4, wherein the sealing resin part is formed of one of an epoxy resin and a polyurethane resin, the bonding intermediating member is formed of one of a polybutylene terephthalate resin, a polyurethane resin, a nylon-based resin, and a fluorine-based resin, and the sheath is formed of one of a polyvinyl chloride resin, a polyurethane resin, and a fluorine-based resin.
