A wire harness including: a core wire having a flat straight section whose vertical height is smaller than a width thereof and a bend bent from an end of the straight section, wherein: the straight section is formed from a second assembled wire obtained by twisting or braiding together first assembled wires which are each obtained by twisting or braiding wire strands, and the bend is formed from a plurality of adjacent wires arranged adjacently in a direction orthogonal to a vertical direction.

Wire harness

A wire harness including: a wire; a wire-side terminal that is electrically connected to the wire; and a terminal block to which the wire-side terminal is attached, wherein: the terminal block includes a holding fitting that holds the wire-side terminal in a state where the wire-side terminal is electrically connected to a contact, the holding fitting includes a plate, and at least one of the wire-side terminal and the holding fitting includes a curved surface that is in contact with the other of the wire-side terminal and the holding fitting in a state where rotation in two directions around two axes that intersect each other is allowed.

Wire harness with tolerance absorption for positional displacement

A wire harness including a wire and a connector, wherein the connector includes a connector main body that is partially or entirely made of a conductive resin or is partially formed by a conductive portion, a shield that is made of a conductive metal and covers a periphery of the connector main body, and a conductive elastic member that is provided between the connector main body and the shield, a circumference of the wire is covered by a tube, the tube including a heat-shrinkable shielding tube having a conductive portion that is configured to surround the circumference of the wire, and in a state in which the tube is attached to an attachment of the connector main body, the conductive portion of the tube, the connector main body, the conductive elastic member, and the shield are electrically connected to each other.

It is aimed to provide a terminal fitting () in which thick plating films can be formed on necessary parts without requiring particularly complicated plating. The terminal fitting () includes a tubular connecting portion () into which a mating male terminal () is insertable. The connecting portion () includes a plurality of resilient pieces () circumferentially divided via expanding slots () extending from a tip. Thick film portions () with a thicker plating film than in other parts are provided on inner surfaces of the plurality of resilient pieces () and contact areas () capable of contacting the male terminal () are provided on these thick film portions (). The thick film portions () and the contact areas () are arranged continuously in a circumferential direction except at the positions of the expanding slots () on an inner surface of the connecting portion () near a tip.

Terminal fitting with resilient pieces having thin plating region and thick plating region

A shielded connector achieving sufficient contact load between a shielded conductor and a crimp portion of an outer conductor shell without influence such as deformation of cross sections on signal wires when the crimp portion is crimped onto the conductor, and enhanced pull-out strength of a shielded cable against the shell. The shell includes a tubular connection portion having an arc-shaped cross section and arranged to be inserted into the conductor end portion exposed by stripping off a sheath portion at the cable end portion, shielded conductor crimping portions opposed to the connection portion and arranged to be crimped onto the conductor end portion into which the connection portion has been inserted, and fitting spaces provided to an inside of the conductor crimping portions at positions opposed to the tubular connection portion. Upper ends of the connection portion and the conductor are inserted into the spaces during crimping process.

Shielded connector

A diamond film is deposited in the thickness of 20 &mgr;m on a silicon wafer 0.8 mm thick by filament CVD. Here the hydrogen content of the diamond film is adjusted in the range of not less than 1% nor more than 5% in atomic percent. By mechanical polishing with a grinding wheel including diamond abrasives, the diamond film is smoothed so that the arithmetic mean roughness (Ra) of the surface thereof becomes not more than 20 nm.
