ABSTRACT:
A shield layer 13 of a shielded cable W and a metal shell 30 are electrically connected via a connection member 40. This connection member 40 is tubular and includes a receiving portion 41 which is insertable under the shield layer 13, a shield layer fastening portion 42 for fastening the shield layer 13 to the receiving portion 41, and a contact portion 43 to be brought into pressing contact with the inner circumferential surface of the metal shell 30. The portions 41 to 43 are integrally or unitarily formed. With this construction, if the shield layer fastening portion 42 is fastened after the receiving portion 41 is inserted under the shield layer 13, the shield layer 13 is tightly held between the receiving portion 41 and the fastening portion 42. As a result, the shield layer 13 and the metal shell 30 are connected electrically even if the rigidity of an insulation layer 12 is reduced.
