  • Publication number: 20150027772
    Abstract: An electromagnetic shielding tool that includes a metallic cloth and two bracket body portions. The two bracket body portions each include two elongated portions and a coupling portion, and respectively hold a first outer edge portion and a second outer edge portion on the side opposite to the first outer edge portion among four outer edge portions of the metallic cloth so as to form a ring that surrounds the periphery of electrical wires. The two elongated portions are made of a conductive material, are joined to the metallic cloth in the state of being arranged in series along an outer edge portion of the metallic cloth, and form a ring shape due to being combined with each other on two sides of the electrical wires. The coupling portion couples end portions of the two elongated portions to each other and holds the two elongated portions in the ring shape.

  • Patent number: 8011954
    Abstract: Characteristic impedances of a shielded connector and a shielded cable are matched by lowering that of the connector conventionally high in a connection portion of an inner conductor terminal of the connector to a signal conductor of the cable, and transmission loss by reflection of high-frequency signals is decreased. The connector for a shielded cable W comprising a signal conductor Wa, a shielded conductor Wd, an insulator Wb interposed between the conductors Wa and Wd, and a sheath covering the conductor Wd, comprises an inner conductor terminal 2 connected to the conductor Wa, and an outer conductor terminal 4 connected to the conductor Wd to house the terminal 2 interposing a dielectric 3 between the terminals. The terminal 2 comprises a connecting section 2a to the conductor Wa, and a crimping portion 5 for enlarging the outer diameter of the section 2a is crimped onto the section 2a after connection.
