AI Technical Summary
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.
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.
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.
