A wiring harness () for connecting a first device and a second device includes a first shield connector () to be connected to the first device, a second shield connector () to be connected to the second device, wires () arranged between the first shield connector () and the second shield connector (), and a shield () made of an electrically conductive metal cloth. After the wires () are arranged between the first shield connector () and the second shield connector (), the sheet-like shield () is mounted to cover the wires (), thereby shielding between the first and second devices.

Wiring harness

A device connector () includes conductive members () that electrically connect a device () and a mating connector () and a device-side housing () in which the conductive members () are held. The device-side housing () includes primary molded parts () in which the conductive member () is arranged and include a nut holding portion () for holding a nut () and a secondary molded part () that is formed integrally to the primary molded parts () and includes a receptacle () into which the mating connector () is to be fitted. The conductive member () includes a mating terminal connecting portion () to be connected to a mating terminal (). The nut () is arranged in the receptacle () and a bolt () inserted through the mating terminal () and the mating terminal connecting portion () and is engaged with the nut ().

Device connector

A connector () includes a first housing () made of synthetic resin and including a fitting (), and a second housing () made of synthetic resin and including a tubular receptacle () into which the fitting () is to be fit. At least one first projection () projects forward on a front end part () of the fitting () in the connecting direction and at least one second projection () projecting toward the first projection () is formed on a part of a back wall () of the receptacle () corresponding to the first projection (). A fitting depth of the first and second housings () is specified by the contact of a tip () of the first projection () and a tip () of the second projection () when the first and second housings () are connected properly.

Connector

A first shield connector () includes a first housingmade of resin, wires (), a shield member () to be mounted on the wires (), and two brackets () including a plate-like first shield member connecting portion () to be crimped to a peripheral edge of the shield member () and case connecting portions () to be connected to a case of a motor. The case connecting portions () are arranged at sides of the shield member connecting portions () arranged to face each other and bolt-fastened to the case in an overlapping state. The case connecting portions () are formed with a stopper () including a hole (A). The first housing () is formed with retaining projections () to be inserted through the holes (A). The brackets () are held on the first housing () by inserting the retaining projections () through the holes (A).
