AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

The existing shield terminals for coaxial cables have a complex shape due to the use of open barrel-shaped crimping portions, complicating the connection of the outer conductor and shield member.

Method used

A wire harness design featuring a ground bar that extends parallel to shielded wires, with a shield terminal having an inner conductor connected to a core wire and an outer conductor with an exposed surface facing a conductive ground bar, simplifying the connection by exposing a portion of the shield member to the ground bar.

Benefits of technology

This configuration simplifies the shape of the shield terminal and allows for easier and more efficient electrical conductivity between the shield member and ground bar, reducing complexity and enhancing connectivity.

Abstract

The shape of the shield terminal will be simplified. [Solution] The wire harness W comprises a plurality of shielded wires 25 arranged in parallel, a plurality of shield terminals 11 individually attached to the ends of the plurality of shielded wires 25, and a ground bar 30 that extends elongated in the parallel direction of the plurality of shielded wires 25. The shielded wire 25 has a core wire 26 and a shield member 28 surrounding the core wire 26. The shield terminal 11 has an inner conductor 12 connected to the core wire 26 and an outer conductor 14 surrounding the inner conductor 12. The outer conductor 14 has a connection portion 18 with a facing surface 20 that faces the shield member 28. The connection portion 18 is configured to expose the portion of the shield member 28 facing the ground bar 30 as an exposed surface 29. The ground bar 30 includes a conductive portion 32 that is electrically connected to the facing surface 20 and the exposed surface 29.
