Abstract

A cable with terminal disclosed by this specification is provided with a shielded cable 11 including a conductive shield portion 15 for covering outer peripheries of two coated wires 12 and a sheath portion 16 for covering an outer periphery of the shield portion 15 , a first outer conductor 51 made of metal and including a tubular portion 52 in the form of a rectangular tube, and a second outer conductor 60 including plate-like fixing barrels 62 to be crimped to wind around an outer surface of the tubular portion 52 in a circumferential direction. The tubular portion 52 includes a depressed portion 57 arranged inside to radially face the fixing barrels 62 and allowing the fixing barrels 62 to be crimped by causing the fixing barrels 62 to be excessively deformed beyond proper crimping positions.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A cable with terminal, comprising:
a shielded cable including a conductive shield portion for covering an outer periphery of at least one coated wire and a sheath portion for covering an outer periphery of the shield portion;
a first conductor made of metal, including a tubular connecting portion and to be connected to the shield portion; and
a second conductor including at least one plate-like barrel to be crimped to wind around an outer surface of the connecting portion in a circumferential direction,
wherein the connecting portion includes a depressed portion arranged inside to radially face the barrel and allowing the barrel to be crimped by causing the barrel to be excessively deformed beyond a proper crimping position, and
wherein the depressed portion is a bottomed recess recessed from the outer surface of the connecting portion, and does not penetrate through the connecting portion.

2. The cable with terminal of claim 1 , wherein the depressed portion is formed at a position radially facing a tip part of the barrel.

3. The cable with terminal of claim 2 , wherein:
the second conductor includes a plurality of the barrels, and
the depressed portion is formed in such a size that tip parts of the plurality of barrels collectively enter the depressed portion.

4. The cable with terminal of claim 1 , wherein:
the shielded cable includes a plurality of the coated wires,
the cable with terminal further comprises a terminal accommodating member to be accommodated into the connecting portion with terminals connected to the coated wires accommodated side by side in the terminal accommodating member, and
the terminal accommodating member is provided with a recessed portion formed by being recessed along the depressed portion and having a bottom part in a region different from regions, where the terminals are arranged, in an arrangement direction of the terminals.

5. A connector, comprising:
the cable with terminal of claim 1 ; and
a housing for accommodating the cable with terminal.
