Abstract

A shielded electrically conductive path is provided with a shielded cable including a core wire, a braided wire, a sheath and a folded portion covering an outer surface of the sheath and formed by folding a front end part of the braided wire rearward, a sleeve swaged to the outer surface of the sheath between the outer surface of the sheath and the folded portion, and a second outer conductor formed with a rear crimping portion in a rear end part. The rear crimping portion includes a swaging portion and claw portions cantilevered radially inward from a rear end of the swaging portion. The sleeve includes a tubular base portion and an extending portion extending rearward from a rear end edge of the base portion. An outer diameter of a rear end of the extending portion is larger than that of the base portion.

Claims (13)

1 . A shielded electrically conductive path, comprising:

a shielded cable including a shield layer surrounding a conductor, a sheath surrounding the shield layer and a folded portion covering an outer peripheral surface of the sheath, the folded portion being formed by folding a front end part of the shield layer rearward;

a sleeve arranged in a gap between the outer peripheral surface of the sheath and the folded portion, the sleeve being swaged to the outer peripheral surface of the sheath; and

an outer conductor formed with a crimping portion in a rear end part,

the crimping portion including a tubular swaging portion and a claw portion cantilevered radially inward from a rear end of the swaging portion,

the sleeve including a base portion and an extending portion extending rearward from a rear end edge of the base portion,

an outer diameter of a rear end of the extending portion being larger than that of the base portion,

the crimping portion being crimped to the sleeve in a state where the swaging portion surrounds the folded portion and the claw portion faces the extending portion from behind,

a part of the folded portion being sandwiched in a squeezed state between an outer peripheral surface of the extending portion and an inner peripheral surface of the swaging portion, and

a rear end part of the folded portion being arranged between the rear end of the extending portion and the claw portion.

2 . The shielded electrically conductive path of claim 1 , wherein:

a rear end outer peripheral edge of the extending portion has a circular shape, and

a rear end part of the crimping portion has an elliptical shape.
