Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

It is aimed to reduce a diameter. A shielded electrically conductive path is provided with a shielded cable configured such that a core wire is surrounded with a shield layer, and a shield terminal including an inner conductor to be connected to the core wire and an outer conductor formed with a crimping portion in the form of an open barrel. The crimping portion includes a first crimp portion formed with a projection-like first locking portion and a second crimp portion formed with a second locking portion, and is crimped to an outer surface of the shield layer with the first locking portion locked to the second locking portion. A locking margin of the first locking portion and the second locking portion in a radial direction is within a plate thickness range of the second crimp portion.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A shielded electrically conductive path, comprising: a shielded cable configured such that a core wire is surrounded with a shield layer and the shield layer is surrounded with a sheath; and a shield terminal including an inner conductor to be connected to the core wire and an outer conductor formed with a crimping portion in the form of an open barrel, the sheath being removed and the shield layer being exposed only in a region forward of a front end of the sheath in a front end part of the shielded cable, the crimping portion including a first crimp portion formed with a projection-like first locking portion and a second crimp portion formed with a second locking portion, the first locking portion being formed in a rear end part of the first crimp portion, the second locking portion being formed in a rear end part of the second crimp portion, regions of the first crimp portion and the second crimp portion forward of the first locking portion and the second locking portion being externally to an exposed part of the shield layer and the first locking portion and the second locking portion being locked in a circumferential direction while being externally fit to an outer peripheral surface of the sheath with the crimping portion crimped to the shielded cable, and a locking margin of the first locking portion and the second locking portion in a radial direction being within a plate thickness range of the second crimp portion. 2 . The shielded electrically conductive path of claim 1 , wherein the first locking portion is formed by bending a tip part of the first crimp portion into a folded state. 3 . The shielded electrically conductive path of claim 1 , wherein the first locking portion is formed by cutting and raising a part of the first crimp portion in a plate thickness direction of the first crimp portion. 4 . The shielded electrically conductive path of claim 1 , wherein the first locking portion is formed by bending the first crimp portion along a folding line extending in a circumferential direction. 5 . The shielded electrically conductive path of claim 1 , wherein the first crimp portion is layered on an outer peripheral side of the first crimp portion. 6 . The shielded electrically conductive path of claim 1 , wherein the first crimp portion and the second crimp portion are formed with displacement restricting portions capable of restricting relative displacements of the first crimp portion and the second crimp portion in an axial direction by coming into contact with each other.
