[0022] The cable 2 includes a rubber outer shell 15 , a shielding layer 12 , an insulating layer 13 and a wire core 14 which are sequentially arranged from the outside to the inside.

[0023] Male terminal 1: The male terminal is the starting part of the wire harness, which is used to connect to the connecting ring 4 and further connected to the male plug 5 through the connecting ring 4. It provides an electrical connection interface between the cable 2 and the external device.

[0024] Material: Metal materials with good conductivity and high mechanical strength, such as copper alloy or stainless steel, are usually used to ensure the stability and reliability of electrical connection.

[0025] Cable 2: The cable is a flexible conductor connecting the male terminal 1 and the female terminal 3 for transmitting electrical energy or signals.

[0026] Material: The cable 2 is composed of a multi-layer structure, including a rubber outer shell 15, a shielding layer 12, an insulating layer 13 and a core 14. The rubber outer shell 15 provides protection and wear resistance; the shielding layer 12 is used to reduce electromagnetic interference; the insulating layer 13 ensures electrical isolation between the cores; the core 14 is responsible for the transmission of current and is usually made of multiple strands of fine copper wires.
