Terminal module, and connector
A terminal module disclosed by this specification is provided with a shielded cable including two coated wires, a conductive shield portion for covering outer peripheries of the two coated wires and a sheath portion for covering an outer periphery of the shield portion, inner conductors to be connected to the coated wires, an insulating terminal accommodating member for accommodating end parts of the coated wires together with the inner conductors, and an outer conductor for accommodating the terminal accommodating member. An axis center β of a shield-side pull-out portion for pulling out the coated wires in the shield portion is radially shifted with respect to axis centers α of inner conductor-side pull-out portions for pulling out the coated wires in the inner conductors. A wire insertion path into which linking portions are insertable is formed in a lower wall of the terminal accommodating member.
1. A terminal module, comprising:
a shielded cable including at least one coated wire, a conductive shield portion for covering an outer periphery of the coated wire and a sheath portion for covering an outer periphery of the shield portion;
an inner conductor to be connected to the coated wire;
an insulating terminal accommodating member for accommodating an end part of the coated wire together with the inner conductor; and
an outer conductor to be fixed while being electrically connected to the shield portion as the terminal accommodating member is accommodated into the outer conductor,
wherein:
an axis center of a shield-side pull-out portion for pulling out the coated wire in the shield portion is radially shifted with respect to an axis center of an inner conductor-side pull-out portion for pulling out the coated wire in the inner conductor, and
a wire insertion path is formed in a part of a wall portion of the terminal accommodating member on a side toward which the axis center of the shield-side pull-out portion is shifted and a linking portion of the coated wire located between the inner conductor-side pull-out portion and the shield-side pull-out portion is insertable into the wire insertion path.
2. The terminal module according to claim 1 , wherein:
a covering member for covering an outer periphery of the linking portion is mounted on the linking portion of the coated wire, and
the linking portion covered by the covering member is insertable into the wire insertion path.
3. The terminal module according to claim 1 , wherein:
the terminal accommodating member includes a first member having a first wall portion, the inner conductor and an end part of the coated wire being placed on the first wall portion, and a second member having a second wall portion for covering the inner conductor and the end part of the coated wire from a side opposite to the first wall portion of the first member, and
the wire insertion path is formed by setting either one of the first and second wall portions to be shorter in an extending direction of the coated wire than the other.
4. A connector, comprising the terminal module and a housing for accommodating the terminal module;
wherein the terminal module, comprising:
a shielded cable including at least one coated wire, a conductive shield portion for covering an outer periphery of the coated wire and a sheath portion for covering an outer periphery of the shield portion;
an inner conductor to be connected to the coated wire;
an insulating terminal accommodating member for accommodating an end part of the coated wire together with the inner conductor; and
an outer conductor to be fixed while being electrically connected to the shield portion as the terminal accommodating member is accommodated into the outer conductor,
wherein an axis center of a shield-side pull-out portion for pulling out the coated wire in the shield portion is radially shifted with respect to an axis center of an inner conductor-side pull-out portion for pulling out the coated wire in the inner conductor, and
a wire insertion path is formed in a part of a wall portion of the terminal accommodating member on a side toward which the axis center of the shield-side pull-out portion is shifted and a linking portion of the coated wire located between the inner conductor-side pull-out portion and the shield-side pull-out portion is insertable into the wire insertion path.
