Abstract:
A terminal-processed structure for a shielded cable, wherein said cable includes core wires surrounded by a first insulating layer, said first layer being sheathed in braided metallic wires, and a second insulating layer surrounding said braided wires, said braided wires being exposed at one end of said cable, comprising:a conductive sleeve-like body (20a) crimped on said second insulating layer and said exposed, braided metallic wires, being bent back above said sleeve-like body, said sleeve-like body being a U-shaped strip having complementary, opposite end edges when said body is placed on said second insulating layer on the one end of said shielded cable, said opposite end edges of said body being complementary to each other when said strip is crimped onto said second insulating layer, anda conductive sleeve-like body assembly including a first sleeve-like body having a relatively large diameter, a second sleeve-like body having a relatively small diameter, and a bridge member for interconnecting said first and second sleeve-like bodies and,said first sleeve-like body being crimped on said exposed, braided metallic wires which are bent back above said conductive sleeve-like body (20a) to hold said metallic wires between said first sleeve-like body and the conductive sleeve-like body and provide electrical contact therebetween, said second sleeve-like body being crimped on an exposed first insulating layer from which said braided metallic wires are stripped to hold said assembly onto said cable, said first and second sleeve-like bodies being U-shaped metallic strips having irregular opposite end edges and complementary opposite end edges when said bodies are placed on the exposed, braided metallic wires which are bent back above conductive said sleeve-like body (20a) and said first insulating layer from which said braided metallic wires are stripped, said conductive sleeve-like body assembly being formed from a single conductive metallic sheet, said respective opposite end of said first and second bodies being complementary to each other when said strips are crimped onto said metallic wires and first layer.
