Abstract

A cable holding structure includes a plate-shaped member having an opening, and a conductive wire holding portion holding a plurality of wires inserted therethrough, the wire holding portion being disposed in the opening and electrically connected to a braided shield that collectively covers the plurality of wires. The wire holding portion protrudes from the opening of the plate-shaped member and includes a plurality of through-holes extending in a direction orthogonal to the plate-shaped member. The plurality of wires are each enclosed in the through-holes. The braided shield is electrically connected to an outer surface of the wire holding portion protruding from the opening.

Claims (16)

1. A cable holding structure, comprising:

a plate-shaped member having an opening; and

a conductive wire holding portion holding a plurality of wires inserted therethrough, the wire holding portion being disposed in the opening and electrically connected to a braided shield that collectively covers the plurality of wires,

wherein the wire holding portion protrudes from the opening of the plate-shaped member and comprises a plurality of through-openings extending in a direction orthogonal to the plate-shaped member,

wherein the plurality of wires are each enclosed in the through-openings, and

wherein the braided shield covers an outer surface of the wire holding portion protruding from the opening of the plate-shaped member.

2. The cable holding structure according to claim 1 , wherein the braided shield is pressed against the outer surface of the wire holding portion by an annular fastening member that is disposed so as to sandwich the braided shield between the wire holding portion and the fastening member.

3. The cable holding structure according to claim 2 , wherein outer peripheral openings for opening the through-holes to the outside in a radial direction are formed on the wire holding portion along the through-holes,

wherein outer peripheral surfaces of the wires are partially exposed to outside of the through-holes from the outer peripheral openings, and

wherein the outer peripheral surfaces of the wires exposed from the outer peripheral openings are subjected to a fastening force from the fastening member via the braided shield.

4. The cable holding structure according to claim 1 , wherein the wire holding portion comprises a columnar member having a plurality of walls that are formed radially so as to separate the plurality of through-holes.

5. The cable holding structure according to claim 1 , wherein the plate-shaped member is conductive, and

wherein the wire holding portion is disposed in the opening of the plate-shaped member to be electrically connected to the plate-shaped member and the brained shield.

6. The cable holding structure according to claim 5 , wherein the plate-shaped member is a part of a housing of a device.

7. The cable holding structure according to claim 1 , wherein the wire holding portion holds the plurality of wires at predetermined intervals.

8. The cable holding structure according to claim 7 , wherein the wire holding portion holds the plurality of wires at equal intervals.
