Abstract
A ground structure for a shield wire that can withstand a pulling force to a certain degree includes notches formed through a peripheral wall of a housing defining a tubular member. Spring pieces are mounted respectively in the notches and project from the inner and outer peripheral surfaces of the housing. The housing is received in a shield cap, which is connected to a metal casing. When a shield wire, having an exposed braided wire exposed, is passed through the bore of the housing, the spring pieces contact the shield wire at the inner periphery of the housing and the shield cap at the outer periphery of the housing. Therefore, the braided wire and the metal casing are electrically connected together. Also, the shield wire is movable in an axial direction, so that the shield wire will not be broken even if a pulling force acts on the shield wire.
