It is aimed to provide a technology for reducing the loosening of strands in a short-cut braided conductor. A short braided conductor 1 is obtained by cutting a long braided conductor 10 configured by braiding a plurality of strands 11 into a tubular shape to a desired cutting length (L1). The strands 11 are, for example, configured by conductors such as bare soft copper wires, oxygen-free soft copper wires or tin-plated soft copper wires. A spiral pitch (P1) of the strands 11 in this braided conductor 1 is preferably not less than twice and not more than five times of the cutting length (L1), more preferably not less than twice and not more than three times the cutting length (L1).
