Abstract

A connection structure includes a shield shell enclosing a part of a plurality of wires, a braided shield collectively covering the plurality of wires, a belt-shaped clamping member sandwiching the braided shield between it and an outer surface of the shield shell so as to press the braided shield against the shield shell by a clamping force thereof, and an annular member disposed between the braided shield and the clamping member and having an elasticity to be deformed by the clamping force of the clamping member. The clamping member presses the braided shield against the shield shell through the annular member.

Claims (15)

1. A connection structure, comprising:

a shield shell enclosing a part of a plurality of wires;

a braided shield collectively covering the plurality of wires;

a belt-shaped clamping member sandwiching the braided shield between the clamping member and an outer surface of the shield shell so as to press the braided shield against the shield shell by a clamping force thereof; and

an annular member disposed between the braided shield and the clamping member and having an elasticity to be deformed by the clamping force of the clamping member,

wherein the clamping member presses the braided shield against the shield shell through the annular member.

2. The connection structure according to claim 1 , wherein the annular member comprises a tape wound several times so as to surround the braided shield.

3. The connection structure according to claim 1 , wherein a region of the shield shell facing an inside of the annular member comprises a convex arc shape at an entire circumference thereof and an outer surface thereof in a cross section orthogonal to an extending direction of the wires.

4. The connection structure according to claim 1 , wherein the annular member comprises a tape with an adhesive layer formed on one surface thereof.

5. A wire harness, comprising:

a plurality of wires;

a shield shell enclosing a part of the plurality of wires;

a braided shield collectively covering the plurality of wires and contacting an outer surface of the shield shell;

a belt-shaped clamping member sandwiching the braided shield between the clamping member and the an outer surface of the shield shell so as to press the braided shield against the shield shell by a clamping force thereof; and

an annular member disposed between the braided shield and the clamping member and having an elasticity to be deformed by the clamping force of the clamping member.
