Cable connection structure
View Patent ↗A cable connection structure includes a coaxial cable that includes an inner conductor, an inner insulator covering the inner conductor, a braided wire covering the inner insulator, and a sheath covering the braided wire, a cable that includes a core wire and a sheath covering the core wire, and is arranged in series with the coaxial cable, a ground terminal that connects the braided wire to a ground, and fixes the coaxial cable and the cable, a crimp terminal that press-clamps the inner conductor of the coaxial cable and the core wire of the cable to electrically connect to each other, and an insulative heat-shrinkable tube that covers the coaxial cable, the cable, and the crimp terminal. The inner conductor, exposed from the inner insulator and arranged between the crimp terminal and an end portion of the inner insulator of the coaxial cable in the heat-shrinkable tube, has a bent portion.
1. A cable connection structure comprising:
a coaxial cable that includes an inner conductor, an inner insulator covering the inner conductor, a braided wire covering the inner insulator, and a sheath covering the braided wire;
a cable that includes a core wire and a sheath covering the core wire, and is arranged in series with the coaxial cable;
a ground terminal that connects the braided wire to a ground, and fixes the coaxial cable and the cable;
a crimp terminal that press-clamps the inner conductor of the coaxial cable and the core wire of the cable to electrically connect to each other; and
an insulative heat-shrinkable tube that covers the coaxial cable, the cable, and the crimp terminal,
wherein the inner conductor, exposed from the inner insulator and arranged between the crimp terminal and an end portion of the inner insulator of the coaxial cable in the heat-shrinkable tube, has a bent portion;
wherein the ground terminal is formed of a metal plate and includes:
a first sheath clamping portion which press-fastens to the sheath of the coaxial cable for fixing the coaxial cable;
a second sheath clamping portion which press-fastens to the sheath of the cable through the heat-shrinkable tube for fixing the cable; and
a braided wire clamping portion which press-fastens to the braided wire of the coaxial cable, and is arranged between the first sheath clamping portion and the second sheath clamping portion for grounding the coaxial cable.
2. The cable connection structure according to claim 1 , wherein the heat-shrinkable tube covers from an end portion of the braided wire exposed at an end portion of the coaxial cable to the sheath of an end portion of the cable.
3. The cable connection structure according to claim 1 , wherein the bent portion of the inner conductor of the coaxial cable is formed into a curved shape projecting in a direction of increasing of a distance between the inner conductor and the ground terminal.
4. The cable connection structure according to claim 1 , wherein the bent portion of the inner conductor of the coaxial cable is formed into a curved shape projecting in a direction perpendicular to an arrangement direction of the coaxial cable and the cable.
