Abstract

Provided is a grommet having: a main body, which is arranged in close contact with an opening of an attachment member, through which a shield electric wire having an electric wire covered with a braid is inserted, and which includes an elastically deformable electrically conductive material; a pair of shield terminals that are arranged respectively on one side and the other side of the attachment member, are connected with end portions of the braid, are assembled with the main body, and include an electrically conductive material; and an insertion portion, which is formed of a member continuous with the main body, through which the electric wire exposed from the braid is inserted, and which comes into close contact with the outer circumference of the electric wire.

Claims (10)

1. A grommet comprising:

a main body, which is arranged in close contact with an opening of an attachment member, through which a shield electric wire having an electric wire covered with a braid is inserted, and which includes an elastically deformable electrically conductive material;

a pair of shield terminals that are arranged respectively on one side and an other side of the attachment member, are connected with end portions of the braid, are assembled with the main body, and include an electrically conductive material; and

an insertion portion, which is formed of a member continuous with the main body, through which the electric wire exposed from the braid is inserted, and which comes into close contact with an outer circumference of the electric wire.

2. A grommet assembling method comprising:

inserting an electric wire through an insertion portion, which includes an elastically deformable electrically conductive material and is provided at a main body, such that an outer circumference of the electric wire comes into close contact with the insertion portion;

connecting end portions of a braid with a pair of shield terminals that are arranged on one side and an other side of the main body and include an electrically conductive material; and

bringing the pair of shield terminals close to the main body such that the braid covers the outer circumference of the electric wire and assembling the pair of shield terminals with the main body.

3. The grommet according to claim 1 , wherein the pair of shield terminals and the main body are separate components.

4. The grommet assembly method according to claim 2 , wherein the pair of shield terminals and the main body are separate components.
