Abstract
Abstract A shield terminal, having a cylindrical shape, is so designed that brackets for connecting a rectangular plate to a grounding cable are formed at both side ends of the rectangular plate, and a shielded wire is enclosed by bringing the inner faces of the brackets into alignment. Then, a braided shield of the shielded wire, which is exposed from the shield terminal, is folded over the outer wall of the shield terminal. Further, a caulking ring is fitted over the braided shield and securely engages the outer wall of the shield terminal, and the portion whereat both side ends of the shielded wire are aligned has a cross-stitch shape.
