Thereby, when assembling the auxiliary device module Z, connecting electrically the terminal 5e with the electric wires 4 can be done simultaneously, accurately and easily.

Abstract: A shielding terminal for a coaxial cable includes a first clamping portion, a second clamping portion and a junction portion. The first clamping portion clamps an insulative sheath of the coaxial cable. The second clamping portion clamps a exposed conductive braid portion of the coaxial cable. The junction portion is formed integrally between the first clamping portion and the second clamping portion. The junction portion extends around an outer periphery of the coaxial cable in which a winding angle of the junction portion with respect to the coaxial cable is not less than 180 degrees, and in which the winding angle of the junction portion is smaller than winding angles of the first clamping portion and the second clamping portion with respect to the coaxial cable respectively.

Abstract: An auxiliary machine module includes auxiliary machine a base plate equipped with the auxiliary machine; a case in which the base plate is mounted, and a connector tool for electrically connecting the base plate and the case. In this configuration, the number of components provided on the periphery of the auxiliary machine module, and the module can be reduced in size and weight in a simple structure. An inconvenience occurring in a conventional assembling operation can be also overcome.
