Wire-to-wire connector and method for providing wire-to-wire connector

Abstract

The present invention relates to a wire-to-wire connector (100) which comprises a cable (30) comprising at least one electrically conductive core (34) and an insulator (36) surrounding the electrically conductive core (34), a connector housing (10) defining a pinhole (15), and at least one pin (70) which comprises a pin body (75), a first crimped structure (72) crimped to a core seal (40), a second crimped structure (74) crimped to an outer surface of an conductor of the electrically conductive core (34) and a stop structure for preventing the pin (70) from moving in a longitudinal direction (L), wherein the outer circumference of the insulator (36) of the electrically conductive core (34) sleeves the core seal (40) in an interference fit manner and sleeves a core plug (50) in an interference fit manner, the core seal (40) of the electrically conductive core (34) and the core plug (50) are in interference fit at an inner surface of the defined pinhole (15).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a wire-to-wire connector and to a method of providing the wire-to-wire connector. Background technique [0002] Wire-to-wire connectors are used to permanently connect two single wires or corresponding wires in two cables. This connector is widely used in automotive, communication, consumer electronics, data processing, industrial machinery and other fields. [0003] A wire-to-wire connector usually includes a connector housing and a wire or cable extending into the connector housing, the conductive core of the wire or cable, that is, the conductor, is electrically connected to the conductive pin of the wire-to-wire connector connected. Generally, the position where the wire or cable extends into the connector housing needs to ensure a certain stress buffering performance for the wire or cable, so as to prevent excessive bending at this position. In addition, the position where the wire or cable extends into the conne...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, wire-to-wire connectors that meet all three requirements do not exist in the prior art, some are waterproof but lack visibility and strain relief

Wire-to-wire connectors that satisfy visibility and strain relief are not waterproof enough, or not considered at all

In addition, in the wire-to-wire connectors of the prior art, the positions of the conductive core and the conductive pins of the wire or cable in the connector housing cannot be reliably fixed, and either of them is displaced in the connector housing. will result in a bad electrical connection
