Terminal structure of electrical cable, shielded connector and terminal treatment method of electrical cable

A shielded connector adapted to be connected to a terminal of the electrical cable including an inner conductor, an insulator around the inner conductor, a shield layer made of a metal foil around the insulator, and a sheath layer made of a resin tape around the insulator, the shielded connector comprising:

• an inner terminal that is connected to the inner conductor;
• an insulating member that covers the inner terminal;
• an outer terminal that covers the insulating member;
• and
• a pressing member that presses the outer terminal against the shield layer,
• wherein the outer terminal includes connecting pieces disposed along an outer circumference of the insulator, and
• the pressing member is crimped around the shield layer so that the connecting pieces are pressed against and connected to the shield layer.

A terminal treatment method of an electrical cable for mounting a shielded connector to a terminal of an electrical cable, the electrical cable including an inner conductor, an insulator around the inner conductor, a shield layer made of a metal foil around the insulator, and a sheath layer made of a resin tape around the insulator, the shielded connector includes an inner terminal, an insulating member covering the inner terminal, and an outer terminal covering the insulating member, the terminal treatment method comprising:

• exposing the inner conductor from the insulator;
• connecting the inner terminal to the exposed inner conductor;
• mounting the outer terminal, which has the insulating member, on the inner terminal so that connecting pieces formed on the outer terminal are disposed along an outer circumference of the insulator;
• providing a shield layer by winding a metal foil around the insulator;
• pressing the connecting pieces against the shield layer to be connected with each other, by crimping the pressing member onto an outer circumference of the shield layer at a position where the connecting pieces are disposed;
• and
• providing the sheath layer by winding a resin tape around the shield layer.
