Connection structure for shield electric cable and method of processing shield electric cable

摘要

A connection structure for a shield electric cable and a method of processing a shield electric cable are intended for a shield electric cable having a cable core, an insulating inner jacket covering the cable core, a braided wire formed around the insulating inner jacket, and an insulating outer jacket formed around the braided wire so as to cover the cable core, the insulating inner jacket, and the braided wire. The connection structure includes an exposed portion of the braided wire obtained by partially exposing the braided wire and a shield terminal connected to the exposed portion. The shield electric cable and the shield terminal are connected to each other with a shield terminal joint portion formed between the shield terminal and the exposed portion by use of resistance welding. The method of processing a shield electric cable includes a step of bringing the shield terminal into contact with the exposed portion so as to resistance-weld the shield terminal to the exposed portion. With this resistance welding, the shield electric cable and the shield terminal are connected to each other.
