[0009] [Description of Embodiments of the Present Disclosure] First, embodiments of the present disclosure will be described by way of examples.

[0010] (1) A connector comprising a housing and terminal parts, The housing has a press-in hole, The terminal part is pressed into the press-in hole from the rear side in the press-in direction and is held in the housing. The terminal part has a pair of first surfaces, a pair of second surfaces, and a pair of stoppers, wherein the pair of first surfaces face opposite to each other in a first direction intersecting the pressing direction, the pair of second surfaces face opposite to each other in a second direction intersecting the pressing direction and the first direction, and the pair of stoppers protrude toward the second direction from each of the second surfaces. The press-in hole has a pair of first opposing surfaces opposed to each of the first surfaces, a pair of second opposing surfaces opposed to each of the second surfaces, and a stopper surface, and the stopper can contact the stopper surface in the press-in direction. Each of the first opposing surfaces has a pair of first introduction surfaces, and the pair of first introduction surfaces are inclined so as to expand from an inclined front end position to an inclined rear end position. The inclined front end position is located on the front side of the abutment surface in the pressing direction.

[0011] In the connector of (1), the inclined front end is located on the front side of the pressing direction relative to the abutment surface. Therefore, the contact area between the first surface and the first opposing surface can be reduced, and the chance of the first surface of the terminal part being worn by the first opposing surface can be reduced. In addition, when the terminal part is pressed into the pressing hole, wear powder formed by the plating layer on the first surface and the like worn by the first opposing surface is easily retained between the first introduction surface and the first surface. Therefore, it is easy to prevent adverse conditions caused by wear powder of the terminal part.

[0012] (2) In the connector described in (1), the terminal part has a pair of locking portions, the pair of locking portions protruding in the second direction relative to each of the second surfaces and located forward of each of the stop portions in the press-fitting direction, When the stopper is in contact with the abutment surface, the top of the locking portion and the inclined front end are located at the same position in the pressing direction, or the top of the locking portion is located forward of the inclined front end in the pressing direction.

[0013] In the connector of (2), the locking portion is pressed into the press-fitting hole after the locking portion is positioned in the first direction. Therefore, it is easy to suppress the locking portion from shaking in the first direction.

[0014] (3) In the connector described in (1) or (2), the housing has a press-in surface where the press-in hole opens, and the abutment surface is located on the front side of the press-in surface in the press-in direction. The first introduction surfaces are connected to each other in a cross-connection manner with the press-fitting surfaces.

[0015] In the connector of (3), the first guide surface extends long in the front-rear direction, thereby ensuring the function of guiding the terminal component to the press-fit hole. In addition, for example, it is easy to ensure a gap between the jig for pressing the terminal component and the opening.

[0016] (4) In the connector described in (2), a tapered second introduction surface is formed between the second opposing surface and the abutment surface, and when the terminal part is press-fitted into the press-fit hole, the second introduction surface can contact the locking portion.

[0017] The connector of (4) can introduce the locking portion by utilizing the second introduction surface, and can easily press-fit the terminal component into the press-fit hole.

[0018] (5) In the connector described in (1) or (2), a dimension between the pair of first surfaces is smaller than a dimension between the pair of first opposing surfaces.

[0019] In the connector of (5), when the terminal component is press-fitted into the press-fit hole, the first surface can be made less likely to come into contact with the first opposing surface, thereby reducing the chance of wear of the terminal component.

[0020] (6) In the connector described in (5), a dimension of the first surface in the second direction is larger than a dimension of the second surface in the first direction.

[0021] The connector of (6) increases the size of the first opposing surface (first introduction surface) in the second direction, so that the contact pressure per unit area when the first introduction surface contacts the first surface can be reduced, and the effect of preventing the first surface from being worn can be easily improved.

[0022] [Details of the embodiments of the present disclosure] <Implementation Method 1> Reference Figures 1 to 9 Embodiment 1 which embodies the connector 10 of the present disclosure will be described. In the figure, "front side", "rear side", "upper side", "lower side", "right side" and "left side" are represented by "F", "B", "U", "D", "R" and "L", respectively. The pressing direction is parallel to the front-to-back direction and is included in the concept of the front-to-back direction. Here, the so-called pressing direction is the direction in which the terminal part 13 moves when the terminal part 13 is pressed into the shell 11, and is the direction from the rear side to the front side in the front-to-back direction. The left-right direction corresponds to the second direction, and the up-down direction corresponds to the first direction. The left-right direction and the width direction are synonymous. The connector 10 is installed on a circuit board S (see Figure 2 ).like Figure 1 As shown, the connector 10 includes a housing 11 , a pair of wedges 12 , and a plurality of terminal parts 13 .

[0023] [Structure of the housing] The housing 11 is made of, for example, a synthetic resin to which glass fiber is added. The housing 11 has a press-fit wall portion 11A and a cover portion 11B, and the cover portion 11B protrudes forward in a square tube shape from the outer periphery of the press-fit wall portion 11A. The press-fit wall portion 11A is flat, with the plate thickness direction facing the front-rear direction. The cover portion 11B can be engaged with a counterpart housing (not shown).

[0024] like Figure 2 As shown, a plurality of press-in holes 11C are formed in the press-in wall portion 11A. Each press-in hole 11C is formed by penetrating the press-in wall portion 11A in the front-rear direction. Each press-in hole 11C opens at the rear side of the press-in wall portion 11A, i.e., the press-in surface 11K. Each press-in hole 11C is arranged in a plurality of layers in the up-down direction, and a plurality of press-in holes 11C are arranged in a row in the left-right direction.

[0025] [Structure of the press-fit hole] Next, the structure of the press-in hole 11C will be described. The multiple press-in holes 11C formed in the housing 11 have different sizes and dimensions of each part, but all have the structure described below. Figures 3 to 5 As shown, each press-fit hole 11C has a pair of first opposing surfaces 11D, a pair of second opposing surfaces 11E, a pair of second introduction surfaces 11G, and a pair of stop surfaces 11F.

[0026] The pair of first facing surfaces 11D are the upper and lower surfaces of the inner surface of the press-fit hole 11C. Each first facing surface 11D faces a first surface 13J of a terminal component 13 to be described later which is pressed into the press-fit hole 11C (see Figure 8 ). Each first opposing surface 11D extends in the front-back direction and the left-right direction. Each first opposing surface 11D has a parallel surface 11H and a first introduction surface 11J. The pair of parallel surfaces 11H is the front side area of ​​the first opposing surface 11D. The pair of parallel surfaces 11H are parallel to each other and face each other in the up-down direction.

[0027] The first introduction surface 11J is in a planar shape. The first introduction surface 11J is connected to the rear end of the parallel surface 11H and extends backward. The pair of first introduction surfaces 11J are inclined toward the rear end so as to expand in the vertical direction relative to each other. The boundary position where the first introduction surface 11J and the parallel surface 11H are connected is the inclined front end position Sp (refer to Figure 4 The inclined front end position Sp is located on the front side (front side in the pressing direction) of the abutment surface 11F (refer to Figure 4 , 5 The first introduction surface 11J and the press-fit surface 11K are connected to each other at the inclined rear end position Ep (refer to Figure 3 , 4 The pair of first introduction surfaces 11J are inclined so as to expand from the inclined front end position Sp to the inclined rear end position E (see Figure 4 ).

[0028] The pair of second facing surfaces 11E are the left and right surfaces of the inner surface of the press-fit hole 11C. Each second facing surface 11E faces a second surface 13K of a terminal component 13 to be described later which is pressed into the press-fit hole 11C (see Fig. 9 ). Each second facing surface 11E extends in the front-rear direction and the up-down direction. The pair of second facing surfaces 11E are parallel to each other and face each other in the left-right direction. The second facing surface 11E forms a right angle with the parallel surface 11H of the first facing surface 11D.

[0029] A pair of second introduction surfaces 11G are formed so as to be connected to the rear ends of the second opposing surfaces 11E (see Figure 4 , 5Each second introduction surface 11G is inclined in a manner that expands in a tapered shape toward the left and right directions. Figure 5 ).

[0030] like Figure 5 As shown, a pair of abutment surfaces 11F are formed in connection with the rear ends of a pair of second introduction surfaces 11G. The stopper 13F described later can contact each abutment surface 11F in the direction from the rear side toward the front side (pressing direction). That is, the second introduction surface 11G is formed between the second opposing surface 11E and the abutment surface 11F. Each abutment surface 11F extends in the left-right direction and the up-down direction, and is formed by extending from the rear end of each second introduction surface 11G toward the outer side in the left-right direction. The abutment surface 11F is at a right angle to the second opposing surface 11E. The third opposing surface 11L extending backward is connected to the outer edge in the left-right direction of each abutment surface 11F. The third opposing surface 11L is parallel to the second opposing surface 11E, and the rear end is connected to the pressing surface 11K. In the left-right direction, the width dimension between the pair of second opposing surfaces 11E is smaller than the width dimension between the pair of third opposing surfaces 11L. Each abutment surface 11F is located on the front side (front side in the press-fitting direction) of the press-fitting surface 11K.

[0031] The left and right side walls of the cover portion 11B are respectively formed with recessed portions 11M (see FIG. 1 ) so as to be recessed inward in the left-right direction (one step recessed relative to the outermost shape in the left-right direction). Figure 1 ).

[0032] [Structure of the wedge] The wedge 12 is made of metal and is formed in a flat plate shape as a whole. The wedge 12 is assembled into the recessed portions 11M (see FIG. 14 ) of the left and right side walls of the housing 11. Figure 1 , 2 ).

[0033] [Structure of terminal parts] Next, the structure of the terminal part 13 is described. Although the terminal part 13 disclosed in the first embodiment has different sizes and length dimensions of each part, they all have the structure described below. The terminal part 13 is formed by, for example, stamping a metal plate. The terminal part 13 is plated, for example, and the outer surface is covered with a plating layer. Figure 6 As shown, the terminal fitting 13 includes a mating connection portion 13A, a base portion 13B, a hanging portion 13E, and a substrate connection portion 13C.

[0034] The mating connection portion 13A is formed to extend in the front-rear direction. When the housing 11 is fitted with a mating housing (not shown), the mating connection portion 13A is electrically connected to a mating terminal component (not shown) held in the mating housing.

[0035] The base 13B is connected to the rear end of the other connection part 13A. The upper surface and the lower surface of the base 13B are first surfaces 13J. The pair of first surfaces 13J face opposite directions to each other in the up-down direction (first direction) intersecting the front-back direction. The left surface and the right surface of the base 13B are second surfaces 13K. The pair of second surfaces 13K face opposite directions to each other in the left-right direction (second direction) intersecting the front-back direction and the up-down direction.

[0036] The width dimension of the first surface 13J in the left-right direction (second direction) is larger than the dimension of the second surface 13K in the up-down direction (first direction) (see Figure 7 ). The dimension between the pair of first surfaces 13J is smaller than the dimension between the parallel surfaces 11H of the pair of first opposing surfaces 11D of the press-fit hole 11C (refer to Figure 8 Specifically, the maximum value of the tolerance between the pair of parallel surfaces 11H and the pair of first surfaces 13J is about the same. The width between the pair of second surfaces 13K is slightly larger than the width between the pair of second opposing surfaces 11E of the press-fit hole 11C (see Fig. 9 ).

[0037] The base 13B has a pair of stopper portions 13F and a pair of latching portions 13G. The pair of stopper portions 13F are arranged at the rear of the base 13B, connected to the second surface 13K, and protrude in a rectangular shape toward the outside in the left-right direction (the second direction) of the second surface 13K. The pair of latching portions 13G are located on the front side (the front side in the pressing direction) of the pair of stopper portions 13F. Each latching portion 13G is connected to the second surface 13K, and protrudes in a mountain shape toward the outside in the left-right direction (the second direction) of the second surface 13K. A top portion 13H (refer to Fig. 9 ). The width dimension between the pair of tops 13H is greater than the width dimension between the pair of second surfaces 13K (refer to Fig. 9 ).

[0038] The hanging portion 13E is connected to the rear end of the base portion 13B, is bent toward the rear and downward, and extends downward. The substrate connecting portion 13C is connected to the lower end of the hanging portion 13E, is bent toward the rear, and extends. The substrate connecting portion 13C is arranged along the plate surface of the circuit substrate S, and is soldered to the conductive portion (not shown) of the circuit substrate S to be electrically connected thereto (see FIG. Figure 2 ).

[0039] [Example of the procedure for mounting terminal parts on the housing] First, the posture of the terminal part 13 is adjusted so that the other connection part 13A is arranged at the front side and the substrate connection part 13C is arranged at the rear side and below the other connection part 13A. Then, the other connection part 13A is made to approach the press-in hole 11C from the rear. In other words, the terminal part 13 is moved from the rear side to the front side in the press-in direction and approaches the press-in hole 11C from the rear. At this time, for example, a press-in jig not shown is used to press the rear end of the base 13B from the rear.

[0040] The vertical dimension of the mating connection portion 13A is slightly smaller than the dimension between the pair of parallel surfaces 11H of the press-fit hole 11C (see Figure 8 ). In addition, the left-right dimension of the other connection portion 13A is slightly smaller than the dimension between the pair of second facing surfaces 11E of the press-fit hole 11C (see Fig. 9 ). Therefore, the other connection portion 13A does not generate a large friction force with respect to the press-fit hole 11C, but passes through the press-fit hole 11C forward and protrudes into the cover portion 11B.

[0041] Then, the front end of the base 13B reaches the second introduction surface 11G. The dimension between the pair of first surfaces 13J is slightly smaller than the dimension between the parallel surfaces 11H of the pair of first opposing surfaces 11D of the press-fit hole 11C (see Figure 8 ). In addition, the width dimension between the pair of second surfaces 13K is slightly larger than the width dimension between the pair of second opposing surfaces 11E of the press-fit hole 11C (refer to Fig. 9 ). Therefore, the base 13B is pressed into the press-in hole 11C in such a manner that the second opposing surface 11E is expanded outward in the left-right direction by utilizing the second surface 13K. Furthermore, each locking portion 13G contacts each second introduction surface 11G from the rear. In other words, when the terminal part 13 is pressed into the press-in hole 11C, each locking portion 13G can contact each second introduction surface 11G. Then, each locking portion 13G moves forward while engaging with each second opposing surface 11E and is pressed into the press-in hole 11C (refer to Fig. 9 ).

[0042] Furthermore, each stopper 13F is inserted into the press-fit hole 11C from the rear, and contacts with each stopper surface 11F in the direction from the rear side toward the front side (press-fit direction) (see Fig. 9 ). In this way, the terminal part 13 is pressed into the press-in hole 11C from the rear side in the press-in direction, and each locking portion 13G is locked in a manner that it engages with the second opposing surface 11E of the press-in hole 11C of the housing 11, and is held in the housing 11. When the stopper 13F is in contact with the abutment surface 11F, the top 13H of the locking portion 13G is located on the front side (front side in the press-in direction) of the inclined front end position Sp (refer to Fig. 9 ).

[0043] Even if the first surface 13J contacts the first opposing surface 11D and wear powder is generated from the plating layer or the like forming the first surface 13J, the wear powder is easily retained between the first surface 13J and the first introduction surface 11J and is not easily ejected to the outside. In addition, even if wear powder is generated from the plating layer or the like forming the outer surface of the second surface 13K or the stopper 13G due to the second opposing surface 11E, the wear powder is confined in the area surrounded by the second surface 13K, the second introduction surface 11G, and the stopper 13F (see FIG. 1 ). Fig. 9 ), not easy to fly out.

[0044] Next, the operation of the first embodiment will be described.

[0045] The connector 10 includes a housing 11 and a terminal part 13. The housing 11 has a press-in hole 11C. The terminal part 13 is pressed into the press-in hole 11C from the rear side in the front-to-back direction (press-in direction) and is retained in the housing 11. The terminal part 13 includes a pair of first surfaces 13J, a pair of second surfaces 13K, and a pair of stoppers 13F. The pair of first surfaces 13J face opposite directions to each other in the up-down direction (first direction) intersecting the front-to-back direction (press-in direction). The pair of second surfaces 13K face opposite directions to each other in the left-right direction (second direction) intersecting the front-to-back direction (press-in direction) and the up-to-down direction (first direction). The pair of stoppers 13F protrude in the left-right direction (second direction) more than each second surface 13K. The press-in hole 11C has a pair of first opposing surfaces 11D opposing each first surface 13J, a pair of second opposing surfaces 11E opposing each second surface 13K, and a stopper 11F, and the stopper 13F can contact the stopper 11F in the direction from the rear side to the front side (press-in direction). Each first opposing surface 11D has a pair of first introduction surfaces 11J, and the pair of first introduction surfaces 11J are inclined in a manner of expanding from an inclined front end position Sp to an inclined rear end position Ep, and the inclined front end position Sp is located on the front side of the press-in direction relative to the stopper 11F.

[0046] According to this structure, the inclined front end position Sp is located on the front side of the pressing direction relative to the abutment surface 11F. Therefore, the contact area between the first surface 13J and the parallel surface 11H of the first opposing surface 11D can be reduced, and the chance of the first surface 13J of the terminal part 13 being worn by the first opposing surface 11D can be reduced. In addition, when the terminal part 13 is pressed into the pressing hole 11C, the plating layer forming the first surface 13J and the wear powder worn by the first opposing surface 11D are easily retained between the first introduction surface 11J and the first surface 13J. Therefore, it is easy to prevent the adverse conditions caused by the wear powder of the terminal part 13.

[0047] The terminal part 13 has a pair of stopper parts 13G, which protrude outward in the left-right direction (second direction) relative to each second surface 13K and are located in front of each stopper part 13F in the front-back direction (pressing direction). When the stopper part 13F is in contact with the abutment surface 11F, the top 13H of the stopper part 13G is located in front of the inclined front end position Sp in the front-back direction (pressing direction). According to this structure, the stopper part 13G is pressed into the press-in hole 11C after the stopper part 13G is positioned in the up-down direction, so that the stopper part 13G can be easily suppressed from shaking in the up-down direction (first direction).

[0048] The housing 11 has a press-in surface 11K, the press-in hole 11C opens at the press-in surface 11K, the stop surface 11F is located at the front side of the press-in surface 11K in the front-rear direction (press-in direction), and each first introduction surface 11J is cross-connected with the press-in surface 11K. According to this structure, the first introduction surface 11J extends long in the front-rear direction to ensure the function of guiding the terminal part 13 to the press-in hole 11C. In addition, for example, it is easy to ensure a gap between a jig for pressing the terminal part 13 and the opening of the press-in hole 11C.

[0049] A tapered second introduction surface 11G is formed between the second opposing surface 11E and the abutment surface 11F, and when the terminal component 13 is pressed into the press-in hole 11C, the second introduction surface 11G can contact the stopper 13G. According to this structure, the second introduction surface 11G can be used to introduce the stopper 13G, and the terminal component 13 can be easily pressed into the press-in hole 11C.

[0050] The dimension between the pair of first surfaces 13J is smaller than the dimension between the parallel surfaces 11H of the pair of first opposing surfaces 11D. According to this structure, when the terminal part 13 is pressed into the press-in hole 11C, the first surface 13J is not easy to contact with the first opposing surface 11D, which can reduce the chance of the terminal part 13 being worn.

[0051] The size of the first surface 13J in the left-right direction (second direction) is larger than the size of the second surface 13K in the up-down direction (first direction). According to this structure, since the size of the first opposing surface 11D (first introduction surface 11J) in the left-right direction (second direction) is enlarged, the contact pressure per unit area when the first introduction surface 11J and the first surface 13J are in contact can be easily reduced, and the effect of preventing the wear of the first surface 13J can be easily improved.

In this case, the inclined rear end position and the pressing surface can be a structure connected by a plane parallel to the parallel surface, or a structure connected by an inclined plane different from the first introduction surface.

And, after the substrate connecting part and the hanging part protrude to the rear of the press-in wall, the hanging part is bent.

In addition, the direction in which the press-in hole penetrates the press-in wall is not limited to the front-back direction. That is, the press-in direction only needs to correspond to the direction in which the press-in hole penetrates the press-in wall. Description of Reference Numerals
