A cable connecting structure for connecting a power supplying cable to a terminal-block-side terminal in a terminal block provided on one of an electric-motor side and a power-source side, wherein the power supplying cable includes a conductive wire, a covering, and a cable-side terminal, wherein a protective cover is provided so as to allow the power supplying cable to be disposed therein in a state in which the protective cover is contracted while one end thereof is fixed to the covering outside the terminal block and the other end thereof is held in engagement with the terminal block, and wherein, when the conductive wire and the terminal are disconnected from each other and the power supplying cable is accordingly withdrawn from the terminal block, the protective cover extends such that the other end thereof goes beyond a distal end of the power supplying able.

An electromagnetic shield member includes an electrically conductive shield pipe, a braided member obtained by braiding metal strands into a tubular shape, and a first coupling member that is ring-shaped and arranged on the outer circumferential surface of a portion of the braided member that has been fitted around the shield pipe. The first coupling member is configured to couple the braided member to the shield pipe by constricting the braided member circumferentially inward, and is made of a different type of metal from the braided member. Also, an insulating film is provided on the inner circumferential surface of the first coupling member.

A wire harness including: at least one electric wire; and a braided member that has a plurality of conductive strands that are braided together and surrounds an outer circumference of the at least one electric wire, wherein: the braided member includes an intersection where the strands intersect, and the intersection has a braid where the intersecting strands are double-braided.

A braided part connection structure includes a conductive braid and a conductive member electrically connected and fixed to the braid and made of a conductive plate material. The conductive member includes a braid joining portion. The braid joining portion includes, at a part of the conductive member in a longitudinal direction of the conductive member, a plurality of openings formed at intervals with each other along a direction intersecting the longitudinal direction and a welded portion defined by two adjacent openings of the plurality of openings. The braid joining portion is provided on the braid in an overlapping manner and the welded portion is laser-welded onto the braid.

A cable connecting structure for connecting a power supplying cable to a terminal-block-side terminal in a terminal block provided on one of an electric-motor side and a power-source side, wherein the power supplying cable includes a conductive wire, a covering, and a cable-side terminal, wherein a protective cover is provided so as to allow the power supplying cable to be disposed therein in a state in which the protective cover is contracted while one end thereof is fixed to the covering outside the terminal block and the other end thereof is held in engagement with the terminal block, and wherein, when the conductive wire and the terminal are disconnected from each other and the power supplying cable is accordingly withdrawn from the terminal block, the protective cover extends such that the other end thereof goes beyond a distal end of the power supplying able.

The present disclosure describes various devices and methods for the reconstruction or restoration of a metallic shield of a cable, which provide a holding feature for simplifying the installation of an electrically-conductive member on the metallic shield and improving the reliability of the connection. Both factory-supplied and field-installable holding features are described.

A cable is composed of a cable core including one or more electric wires, a shield layer covering around the cable core, and a sheath covering around the shield layer. The shield layer includes a braided shield braided in such a manner that first metal wires composed of aluminum or an aluminum alloy intersect with second metal wires composed of copper or a copper alloy. An outer diameter of each of the second metal wires is larger than an outer diameter of each of the first metal wires.

A cable includes a plurality of wires, an wrapping tape covering the outside of the wires, a shielding layer coated on the outside of the wrapping tape and an insulating cover coated on the outside of the shielding layer, the shielding layer includes a plurality of conductors, wherein the shielding layer includes fibers mixed with the conductors.

A cable with braided shield includes a conductor, an insulation layer arranged to cover a periphery of the conductor, a braided shield layer arranged to cover a periphery of the insulation layer, and a sheath arranged to cover a periphery of the braided shield layer.
