Abstract
A shield wire for use with a terminal fitting has a ring (7) is fit laterally to an outer cover (4), and a braided wire (3) is folded onto an outer peripheral surface of the ring (7). A hooking edge (9) protrudes over the entire circumference on a front end part of the ring (7). A barrel (15) of an outer conductor terminal (12) is crimped to the folded braided wire (3). Thus, the hooking edge (9) of the ring (7) is widened into a horn shape to form a bell-mouth (16) with the braided wire (3) hooked to the hooking edge (9). Thus, a hooked sate of the braided wire (3) and the ring (7) is strengthened, so that a holding force of a terminal fitting (T) onto a shield wire (S) is enhanced.
Claims6
A shield wire with terminal fitting in which a terminal fitting is mounted on an end part of a shield wire having a braided wire interposed between an outer cover and an inner cover, comprising:
- an outer-cover removed portion configured to expose the braided wire by having an end part of the outer cover removed;
- a ring made of electrically conductive metal and including a main body formed into a substantially tubular shape with all of the main body of the ring being fit to an outer peripheral surface of a part of the outer cover near the outer-cover removed portion, a hooking edge formed to project outwardly while extending in a circumferential direction on a tip part of the main body;
- a braided-wire folded portion formed by folding a part of the braided wire exposed at the outer-cover removed portion onto the outer peripheral surface side of the ring beyond the hooking edge;
- and
- a barrel formed on the terminal fitting and crimped against an outer peripheral surface of the braided-wire folded portion at a position corresponding to the main body of the ring so that the crimped terminal fitting deforms the braided-wire folded portion and the main body of the of the ring inward to compress the outer cover radially inward for strengthening a holding of the terminal fitting on the shield wire.
A shield wire with terminal fitting in which a terminal fitting is mounted on an end part of a shield wire having a braided wire interposed between an outer cover and an inner cover, comprising:
- an outer-cover removed portion configured to expose the braided wire by having an end part of the outer cover removed;
- a ring made of electrically conductive metal and including a main body formed into a substantially tubular shape fittable to an outer peripheral surface of a part of the outer cover near the outer-cover removed portion and a hooking edge formed to project outwardly while extending in a circumferential direction on a tip part of the main body;
- a braided-wire folded portion formed by folding a part of the braided wire exposed at the outer-cover removed portion onto the outer peripheral surface side of the ring beyond the hooking edge;
- and
- a barrel formed on the terminal fitting and to be crimped to tighten an outer peripheral surface of the braided-wire folded portion at a position corresponding to the main body of the ring, wherein an end part of the ring including the hooking edge portion is widened and deformed into a horn shape to form a bell-mouth as the barrel is crimped.

- and
- a barrel formed on the terminal fitting and to be crimped to tighten an outer peripheral surface of the braided-wire folded portion at a position corresponding to the main body of the ring, wherein an end part of the barrel on a side corresponding to the hooking edge is bent inwardly along a circumferential direction to form a narrow portion.
