  • Publication number: 20230112060
    Abstract: In a structure in which a cable is installed into a connector is provided. A back retainer is arranged in a compressed state between an inner circumferential surface of a cylindrical portion, included in a connector body and extending in the axis line direction, and an outer circumferential surface of the cable. The back retainer includes a main annular portion which is configured such that a compression amount on the back retainer in the radial direction centered on the axis line direction gradually increases as the compression amount goes from one side toward the other side. The back retainer includes an engaging protrusion configured to prevent the back retainer from detaching from the cylindrical portion on an outer circumferential surface of the back retainer.

  • Patent number: 9318237
    Abstract: A cable harness includes a plurality of cables and an electrically-conductive outer conductor surrounding the plurality of cables. The outer conductor is partially constituted by a conductor tube having a smooth outer peripheral surface. An outside water cutoff member configured to prevent water from coming inside a hole of a body panel is placed between the smooth outer peripheral surface of the conductor tube and an edge of the hole of the body panel. Further, an inside water cutoff member having through holes through which the plurality of cables of the conductor tube passes, and configured to close an end of the conductor tube is provided.
