Abstract

A shielding structure for a wire harness includes a seal member which has a wire through hole that allows the wire to pass therethrough while sealing a circumference of the wire. The wire has a structure where an insulating resin layer is formed on an outer circumference of a conductor, and a predetermined range in a length direction of the conductor is coated with a shield layer formed by resin plating to cover an outer circumferential surface of the insulating resin layer. A terminal portion of the wire is passed through the wire through hole of the seal member to be introduced into the shield wall to a position where the shield layer exists, whereby an inner circumference of the wire through hole is made in close contact with the shield layer to cause the shield layer and the seal member to be electrically conducted with each other.

Claims (15)

1. A shielding structure for a wire harness in which a wire constituting a wire harness is to be introduced into a shield wall of an electric apparatus while being shielded, comprising:

a seal member which is made of electrically conductive rubber, which has a wire through hole that allows the wire to pass therethrough while sealing a circumference of the wire, and which is to be attached to the shield wall in a closely contacted state, wherein

the wire has a structure where an insulating resin layer is formed on an outer circumference of a conductor, and a predetermined range in a length direction of the conductor is coated with a shield layer formed by resin plating to cover an outer circumferential surface of the insulating resin layer,

a terminal portion of the wire is passed through the wire though hole of the seal member to be introduced into the shield wall to a position where the shield layer formed by the resin plating exists, whereby an inner circumference of the wire though hole of the seal member is made in close contact with the shield layer of the wire to cause the shield layer and the seal member made of electrically conductive rubber to be electrically conducted with each other,

in the terminal portion of the wire introduced into the shield wall, a non-resin plating portion where the resin plating is excluded in a predetermined range from an end portion of the conductor is ensured,

a conductor exposed portion in which the insulating resin layer is excluded is disposed in an end portion of the non-resin plating portion, and

a connecting portion is disposed in the conductor exposed portion.

2. A shielding structure for a wire harness in which a wire constituting a wire harness is to be introduced into a shield wall of an electric apparatus while being shielded, comprising:

a seal member which is made of electrically conductive rubber, which has a wire through hole that allows the wire to pass therethrough while sealing a circumference of the wire, and which is to be attached to the shield wall in a closely contacted state, wherein

the wire has a structure where an insulating resin layer is formed on an outer circumference of a conductor, and a predetermined range in a length direction of the conductor is coated with a shield layer formed by resin plating to cover an outer circumferential surface of the insulating resin layer,

a terminal portion of the wire is passed through the wire through hole of the seal member to be introduced into the shield wall to a position where the shield layer formed by the resin plating exists, whereby an inner circumference of the wire through hole of the seal member is made in close contact with the shield layer of the wire to cause the shield layer and the seal member made of electrically conductive rubber to be electrically conducted with each other,

a plurality of the conductors are covered in a state where the conductors are insulated from each other, by a resin mold portion which is integrally molded, and which functions as the insulating resin layer,

a predetermined range in a length direction of the conductors is coated with a shield layer formed by the resin plating to cover an outer circumferential surface of the resin mold portion,

the wire through hole that allows the resin mold portion to pass therethrough while sealing a circumference of the resin mold portion that integrally holds the plurality of conductors is disposed in the seal member, and

terminal portions of the conductors which are held by the resin mold portion are passed through the wire through hole of the seal member to be introduced into the shield wall to a position where the shield layer formed by the resin plating exists, whereby the inner circumference of the wire through hole of the seal member is made in close contact with the shield layer which covers the outer circumferential surface of the resin mold portion, and the shield layer and the seal member made of electrically conductive rubber are electrically conducted with each other.
