A terminal structure of a wiring harness for automobile use having a profound anticorrosive effect. A terminal member is fixed to a terminal portion of a coated electric wire such that a crimping portion that the member includes at its one end is crimped around a coating portion of the wire in a terminal region of the wire. A resin member completely covers at least entire outer surfaces of an exposed region at an end portion of the crimping portion and its vicinal region, and is made from a material mainly containing a thermoplastic polyamide resin, and having a tensile lap-shear strength of lapped aluminums of 6 N/mmor more in accordance with the JIS K6850, an elongation of 100% or more in accordance with the ASTM D-1708, and a water absorption of 1.0% or less in accordance with the JIS K7209.

Terminal structure of wiring harness

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.
