Patent number: 6680433Abstract: In the case where a braid (14) is used as a shielding sheet covering wires (10) over their entire length, a distal end portion of the braid (14) is connected to a mounting member (B) connected to the ground (G), thereby achieving an electromagnetic shielding conduction. At this time, the distal end portion (14a) of the braid (14) is spread outward, and is engaged in an annular groove (20b) of a channel-shaped cross-section in a housing (20), and a braid retaining band (22) is wound on an outer surface of the distal end portion (14a) of the braid (14), and is tightened to fasten this distal end portion. As a result, the distal end portion (14a) can be positively and firmly connected to the mounting member (B), and the effective electromagnetic shielding effect can be expected, and the stable electrical characteristics can be obtained, so that the reliability of the connection can be enhanced.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 2002Date of Patent: January 20, 2004Assignee: Yazaki CorporationInventors: Shigemi Hashizawa, Hirotaka Fukushima, Yutaka Masuda, Hidehiko Kuboshima

Patent number: 6677531Abstract: A conductor crimping part is crimped onto a terminal metal fitting onto a conductor exposed at a terminal part of an electric wire. A crimped part of the conductor is intimately contacted with a rubber cap seal in such a way as not to be exposed to the outside. Thus, the conductor of the crimped part is sealed in such a manner as to prevent insulation performance from being degraded by infiltration of water contents and oil contents into a connecting part and permeation of the water contents and the oil contents among the wires, which respectively include the conductors.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 2002Date of Patent: January 13, 2004Assignee: Yazaki CorporationInventors: Hirotaka Fukushima, Yutaka Masuda, Hidehiko Kuboshima
