Cable, cable connection structure, and imaging apparatus
A cable includes: a core wire that is electrically conductive; a first inner insulation layer that covers an outer periphery of the core wire and has an exposing portion that exposes the core wire at a distal end side of the first inner insulation layer; and a first latching portion that is fixed to the core wire in the exposing portion, and is latched onto the first inner insulation layer and holds the core wire by coming into contact with the first inner insulation layer.
1. A cable connection structure, comprising:
a first cable that has at least a first core wire that is electrically conductive and a first inner insulation layer that covers an outer periphery of the first core wire and has a first exposing portion that exposes the first core wire at a distal end side of the first inner insulation layer;
a first latching portion that is fixed to the first core wire in the first exposing portion, and is latched onto the first inner insulation layer and holds the first core wire by coming into contact with the first inner insulation layer;
a second cable that has at least a second core wire that is electrically conductive and a second inner insulation layer that covers an outer periphery of the second core wire and has a second exposing portion that exposes the second core wire at a distal end side of the second inner insulation layer;
a second latching portion that is fixed to the second core wire in the second exposing portion, and is latched onto the second inner insulation layer and holds the second core wire by coming into contact with the second inner insulation layer;
a circuit board that has an electrode electrically connected to each of the first core wire and the second core wire; and
a holding member that holds the first cable and the second cable,
wherein the first latching portion and the second latching portion are integrally formed in the holding member.
2. The cable connection structure according to claim 1 ,
wherein when the first cable and the second cable are adjacent to one another, the first exposing portion and the first latching portion of the first cable, and the second exposing portion and the second latching portion of the second cable are provided at positions not adjacent to one another.
3. The cable connection structure according to claim 1 ,
wherein when the first cable and the second cable are adjacent to one another, the first and second exposing portions and the first and second latching portions are provided at a part of a non-contacting area between the first cable and the second cable on a peripheral surface of each of the first and second cables.
4. An imaging apparatus, comprising:
the cable connection structure according to claim 1 ; and
an imaging element that is connected to an external electrode formed on the circuit board of the cable connection structure and converts light incident from outside into an electric signal.
