Abstract
A shielded conductive path capable of being easily managed in terms of a length of a portion of a single core wire protruding from a shield pipe includes a shield pipe electromagnetically shielding a plurality of single core wires inserted therein and a spacer having insertion holes individually receiving the single core wires. Each single core is made of a single conductor as a core wire. The spacer is fitted inside of the shield pipe while being restricted from displacement in directions perpendicular to an axial direction of the shield pipe.
Claims21
A shielded conductive path comprising:
- a shield pipe having a solid wall that has a length from a first end to a second end, the shield pipe electromagnetically shielding a plurality of single core wires inserted into the shield pipe, each single core wire being made of a single conductor as a core wire;
- and
- a spacer disposed in the shield pipe and spaced from the first end and from the second end, the spacer having a plurality of insertion holes, each of the plurality of insertion holes having an inner diameter that is greater than, but almost the same as, an outer diameter of each of the plurality of single core wires such that each of the plurality of insertion holes slidably receives one of the plurality of single core wires,
- wherein the spacer is fitted inside of the shield pipe while being restricted from displacement in directions perpendicular to an axial direction of the shield pipe, and
- wherein the spacer is restricted from rotation relative to the shield pipe.
A shielded conductive path comprising:
- a shield pipe having a solid wall that has a length from a first end to a second end, the shield pipe being configured to electromagnetically shield a plurality of single core wires held within the shield pipe, each of the single core wires being made of a single conductor as a core wire;
- and
- a spacer disposed in the shield pipe and spaced from the first end and from the second end, the spacer having a plurality of insertion holes, each of the plurality of insertion holes having an inner diameter that is greater than, but almost the same as, an outer diameter of each of the plurality of single core wires such that each of the plurality of insertion holes slidably receives one of the plurality of single core wires, the spacer being fitted inside of the shield pipe, the spacer being (i) restricted from displacement in directions perpendicular to an axial direction of the shield pipe, and (ii) restricted from rotation relative to the shield pipe.
A method of assembly a shielded conductive path, the method comprising:
- providing a shield pipe having a solid wall that has a length from a first end to a second end, the shield pipe being configured to electromagnetically shield a plurality of single core wires held within the shield pipe, each of the single core wires being made of a single conductor as a core wire;
- and
- fitting a spacer inside of the shield pipe, the spacer being spaced from the first end and from the second end, the spacer being restricted from displacement in directions perpendicular to an axial direction of the shield pipe and being restricted from rotation relative to the shield pipe, the spacer having a plurality of insertion holes, each of the plurality of insertion holes having an inner diameter that is greater than, but almost the same as, an outer diameter of each of the plurality of single core wires such that each of the plurality of insertion holes slidably receives one of the plurality of single core wires.
