However, pre-manufacturing and storing a plurality of types of housings and selecting them according to specifications may hinder the improvement of connector productivity. For this reason, there is a demand for a connector that can cope with various wiring directions while using a common housing.

[0005] One object of the present invention is to provide a connector that can cope with various wiring directions while using a common housing.

Means for Solving the Problem

[0006] To achieve the aforementioned objectives, the connector according to the present invention is characterized by the following:

[0007] A connector comprising: a first terminal to which the mating terminal will be connected; a housing in which the first terminal is housed; and a terminal-equipped wire having a second terminal fastened to a predetermined location inside the housing and electrically connected to the first terminal, and a wire extending from the second terminal, The aforementioned wire with terminals is The second terminal has an engaging portion that engages with the housing, and the position of the second terminal in the circumferential direction of the fastening shaft of the second terminal can be adjusted by adjusting the engagement position between the engaging portion and the housing. The aforementioned housing is Regardless of the position of the second terminal in the circumferential direction, the housing has an opening wide enough to allow the terminal-equipped wire to be inserted both inside and outside the housing. It must be a connector. [Effects of the Invention]

[0008] According to the connector of the present invention, the wire with terminals has an engaging portion that engages with the housing, and the position of the second terminal in the circumferential direction of the fastening shaft of the second terminal can be adjusted by adjusting the engagement position between the engaging portion and the housing. Furthermore, the opening of the housing has an opening width that allows the wire with terminals to be inserted both inside and outside the housing, regardless of the position of the second terminal. As a result, by adjusting the position of the second terminal in the circumferential direction of the fastening shaft according to the wiring direction of the wire, the wire can be extended from the housing to correspond to that wiring direction. Therefore, the connector of the present invention can accommodate various wiring directions while using a common housing.

[0009] The present invention has been briefly described above. Further details of the present invention will be clarified by referring to the accompanying drawings and reading through the embodiments for carrying out the invention described below. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[Figure 2] Figure 2 is an exploded perspective view of the connector shown in Figure 1. [Figure 3] Figure 3 is a cross-sectional view of AA in Figure 1. [Figure 4] Figure 4 is a perspective view of the BB cross-section in Figure 3, seen from the rear.

[Figure 6] Figure 6 is a perspective view from the front of the area around the terminals of the wire with terminals that make up the connector shown in Figure 1. [Figure 7] Figure 7 is a cross-sectional view of the CC shown in Figure 4. [Figure 8] Figure 8 is a rear view illustrating that the direction of extension of the wire with a terminal from the terminal's fastening axis can be selected by selecting an engagement groove that engages with the protruding portion of the terminal of the wire with a terminal from among the multiple engagement grooves of the housing. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0011] <Embodiment> Hereinafter, a connector 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The connector 1 shown in Figure 1 functions as a relay connector that electrically connects a pair of wires 30 with terminals extending from a cylindrical portion 22 of a housing 20 to a mating connector (not shown) that is fitted into the main body portion 21 of the housing 20.

[0012] For the sake of explanation, the following definitions are used as shown in Figure 1, etc.: "front-rear direction," "up-down direction," "left-right direction," "front," "rear," "up," "down," "left," and "right." The "front-rear direction," "up-down direction," and "left-right direction" are orthogonal to each other. The front-rear direction coincides with the mating direction between the main body 21 of the housing 20 and the mating connector. The left-right direction coincides with the extension direction from the cylindrical portion 22 of the pair of terminal-equipped wires 30. Note that the front-rear direction, left-right direction, and up-down direction do not necessarily have to coincide with the front-rear direction, left-right direction, and up-down direction of the vehicle, etc., when the connector 1 is mounted on the vehicle, etc.

[0013] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, connector 1 mainly comprises a terminal (male terminal) 10 to which a mating terminal (female terminal, not shown) housed in the mating connector will be connected, a housing 20 in which the terminal 10 is housed, and a wire with a terminal 30 that is fastened to a predetermined location inside the housing 20 and electrically connected to the terminal 10. The configuration of each component constituting connector 1 will be described in order below.

[0014] First, let's describe the terminal 10. As shown in Figures 1 and 3, the metal terminal 10 has a rod-like shape that extends in the front-to-back direction. The tip (front end) of the terminal 10 is the part that connects to the mating terminal on the mating connector side when the connector 1 and the mating connector are mated. A female screw hole 11 that is recessed toward the front is formed on the base end face (rear end face) of the terminal 10 (see Figure 3).

[0015] Next, the housing 20 will be described. The housing 20 is a resin molded product and, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, comprises a main body portion 21 that extends vertically and horizontally and is elongated vertically, with a roughly rectangular flat shape, and a cylindrical portion 22 that extends rearward from the upper region of the main body portion 21, giving it a roughly L-shape when viewed from the left and right. As shown in Figure 2, the cylindrical portion 22 is a cylindrical part that extends in the front-to-back direction and has an elongated hole shape that is elongated horizontally when viewed from the rear. In this example, the housing 20 (= main body portion 21 + cylindrical portion 22) is constructed by combining multiple parts, as can be seen from Figure 3, but it may also be constructed from a single part.

[0016] As shown in Figure 3, in the upper region of the main body portion 21, a pair of left and right terminal accommodating holes 23 are provided so as to penetrate in the front-rear direction and to be arranged at intervals in the left-right direction (see also Figure 1). The rear end opening of each terminal accommodating hole 23 communicates with the internal space of the cylindrical portion 22. A pair of left and right terminals 10 are inserted and accommodated into the pair of left and right terminal accommodating holes 23 from the rear side. The front end portion of the main body portion 21 has a shape that can be fitted with a mating connector, and when the connector 1 is fitted with the mating connector, the tip end portion of the terminal 10 accommodated in the terminal accommodating hole 23 is connected to the mating terminal on the mating connector side.

[0017] As shown in Figure 3, in the internal space of the cylindrical portion 22, a nut accommodating portion 24 that accommodates a metal nut 61 is provided integrally with the cylindrical portion 22 at a position arranged behind the terminal 10 accommodated in the right terminal accommodating hole 23 with a gap spaced apart from the terminal 10 in the front-rear direction.

[0018] As shown in Figure 3, in the internal space of the cylindrical portion 22, a band-shaped metal plate member 70 extending while being bent in a crank shape is provided so as to straddle the base end surface of the terminal 10 accommodated in the left terminal accommodating hole 23 and the seating surface (rear end surface) of the nut 61 accommodated in the nut accommodating portion 24. A bolt insertion hole 73 is formed in each of one end portion 71 and the other end portion 72 of the plate-like member 70. When a bolt 62 inserted through the bolt insertion hole 73 in the one end portion 71 of the plate-like member 70 is screwed into the female screw hole 11 of the terminal 10 accommodated in the left terminal accommodating hole 23, the plate-like member 70 is fastened and fixed to the terminal 10 such that the one end portion 71 overlaps the base end surface of the terminal 10, the other end portion 72 overlaps the seating surface of the nut 61, and the terminal 10 and the nut 61 are conductively connected. The bolt insertion hole 73 in the other end portion 72 of the plate-like member 70 is arranged so as to overlap with the female screw hole of the nut 61 (see Figure 5).

[0019] As shown in Figure 3, a bolt 63 is screwed into the female screw hole 11 of the terminal 10 housed in the terminal housing hole 23 on the right side to fasten and secure the terminal 31 of the front terminal-equipped wire 30 of the pair of front and rear terminal-equipped wires 30. A bolt 63 is screwed into the female screw hole of the nut 61 housed in the nut housing 24 to fasten and secure the terminal 31 of the rear terminal-equipped wire 30 of the pair of front and rear terminal-equipped wires 30.

[0020] As shown in Figure 2, on the right side of the cylindrical portion 22, a pair of front and rear openings 25 are provided, spaced apart in the front-to-back direction, corresponding to the base end face of the terminal 10 housed in the right terminal housing hole 23 and the other end 72 of the plate-shaped member 70, which is positioned to overlap the seating surface of the nut 61 housed in the nut housing portion 24. Each opening 25 extends in the circumferential direction and front-to-back direction in a semi-circular arc shape projecting to the right, and has a curved opening shape that projects to the right. The base end face of the terminal 10 housed in the right terminal housing hole 23 is exposed to the outside of the cylindrical portion 22 through the front opening 25. On the other hand, the other end 72 of the plate-shaped member 70, which is positioned to overlap the seating surface of the nut 61, is exposed to the outside of the cylindrical portion 22 through the rear opening 25.

[0021] As shown in Figures 4 and 5, a seating surface 26 is provided on the rear opening edge, which extends in a semi-circular arc and protrudes to the right along the opening edge, in each of the pair of front and rear openings 25. Each seating surface 26 is a plane facing rearward (extending in a direction perpendicular to the front-rear direction). In the front-rear direction, the position of the seating surface 26 of the front opening 25 is approximately the same as the position of the base end face of the terminal 10 housed in the right terminal housing hole 23, and the position of the seating surface 26 of the rear opening 25 is approximately the same as the position of the other end 72 of the plate-shaped member 70, which is positioned to overlap the seating surface of the nut 61, on the side opposite to the nut 61 (rear end face).

[0022] As shown in Figure 5, each of the front and rear seating surfaces 26 is provided with a plurality of protruding portions 27 arranged at predetermined intervals in an arc shape that protrudes to the right along the seating surface 26 which extends in a semi-circular arc shape that protrudes to the right. Each protruding portion 27 is a ridge that protrudes rearward from the seating surface 26 and extends in a direction along a straight line passing through the fastening axis O (see Figure 8) of the terminal 31 (bolt 63 that fastens the terminal 31) of the corresponding terminal-equipped electric wire 30. An engagement groove 27a is formed between each of the adjacent protruding portions 27 (see Figure 7). The protruding portion 34 (see Figure 6), which will be described later, of the terminal 31 of the terminal-equipped electric wire 30 will engage with one of the engagement grooves 27a selected from among the plurality of engagement grooves 27a (see Figure 7).

[0023] Next, the terminal-equipped wire 30 will be described. As shown in Figures 2 and 6, the terminal-equipped wire 30 consists of a metal terminal 31 and a wire 32 extending from the terminal 31. The flat tip of the terminal 31 is provided with a bolt insertion hole 33 and a protruding portion 34 located on the base end side (wire 32 side) of the terminal 31 relative to the bolt insertion hole 33. The protruding portion 34 is a ridge that protrudes from one side (front side) of the tip of the terminal 31 and extends along the longitudinal direction of the terminal 31 (the direction in which the wire 32 extending from the terminal 31 extends). The wire 32 consists of a conductor core and an insulating sheath covering the outer circumference of the conductor core, and the end of the conductor core is electrically connected to the terminal 31. The wire 32 is configured to be flexible and bendable.

[0024] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the holder 40 and the bellows boot 50 are inserted into the pair of terminal-equipped wires 30 in that order, starting from the tip side (terminal 31 side) of the wire 32. The resin holder 40 has a cylindrical shape that can accommodate the pair of wires 32 together, and a pair of wire insertion holes 41 are formed at the end of the holder 40 on the base end side of the wires 32. The pair of wires 32 are inserted into the pair of wire insertion holes 41 of the holder 40. This maintains the correct relative positional relationship of the pair of wires 32.

[0025] The bellows boot 50 is made of rubber and has a cylindrical shape that can accommodate a pair of electric wires 32 together. The bellows boot 50 is flexibly deformable according to the routing direction of the pair of electric wires 32 inserted through the bellows boot 50. An attachment portion 51 is provided at the end of the bellows boot 50 on the tip side (terminal 31 side) of the electric wires 32. The attachment portion 51 has a semi-cylindrical shape so that it can cover a pair of front and rear openings 25 of the housing 20 together.

[0026] The holder 40 and bellows boot 50, which are inserted through the pair of wires 32 of the pair of terminal-equipped electric wires 30, are hermetically connected to each other at the end of the holder 40 on the tip side of the wire 32 and the end of the bellows boot 50 on the base side of the wire 32 (see Figure 1). By inserting the wires 32 of the pair of terminal-equipped electric wires 30 through the holder 40 and bellows boot 50 in this way, waterproofing and insulation of the terminal-equipped electric wires 30 can be achieved.

[0027] Each of the terminals 31 of the pair of front and rear terminal-equipped electric wires 30, through which the holders 40 and bellows boots 50 connected to each other are inserted, is fastened and fixed to the base end face of the terminal 10 housed in the right terminal housing hole 23 and to the other end 72 of the plate-shaped member 70, which is positioned to overlap with the seating surface of the nut 61, using a bolt 63, with the protruding portion 34 facing forward (see Figures 2 and 3). Specifically, the front terminal 31 of the pair of front and rear terminals 31 is placed so as to overlap with the base end face of the terminal 10 housed in the right terminal housing hole 23 through the front opening 25, and is fastened and fixed to the base end face of the terminal 10 by screwing a bolt 63, which is inserted through the bolt insertion hole 33 of the terminal 31, into the female screw hole 11 of the terminal 10. The rear terminal 31 of the pair of front and rear terminals 31 is placed so as to overlap the other end 72 of the plate-shaped member 70, which is positioned to overlap the seating surface of the nut 61, through the rear opening 25. The bolt 63 is then inserted in this order through the bolt insertion hole 33 of the terminal 31 and the bolt insertion hole 73 of the other end 72 of the plate-shaped member 70, and screwed into the female threaded hole of the nut 61, thereby fastening and fixing it to the other end 72 of the plate-shaped member 70 (i.e., the nut 61).

[0028] Thus, in order to fasten and fix the front and rear pair of terminals 31, when each of the front and rear pair of terminals 31 is placed on the base end face of the terminal 10 housed in the right terminal housing hole 23 or on the other end 72 of the plate-shaped member 70, as shown in Figure 7, the terminal 31 is positioned on the seating surface 26 such that the protruding portion 34 of the terminal 31 engages with one of the multiple engagement grooves 27a provided on the seating surface 26 of the corresponding opening 25. In other words, as shown in Figure 8, by selecting an engagement groove 27a that engages with the protruding portion 34 of the terminal 31 from among the multiple engagement grooves 27a, the extension direction of the terminal 31 from the fastening axis O (i.e., the extension direction of the wire 32 of the wire 30 with terminals) can be adjusted. As a result, by adjusting the position of the terminal 31 in the circumferential direction of the fastening axis O according to the desired wiring direction, the wire 32 can be extended in accordance with the wiring direction without excessive curving of the wire 32. In this case, the bellows boot 50 can be deformed according to the routing direction of the electric wire 32, and therefore does not interfere with the routing of the electric wire 32.

[0029] As can be seen from Figures 2 and 8, the opening 25 has an opening width that allows the terminal 31 to be inserted both inside and outside the cylindrical portion 22, regardless of which of the multiple engagement grooves 27a provided on the seating surface 26 engages with the protruding portion 34 of the terminal 31 (i.e., regardless of the direction in which the terminal-attached wire 30 extends from the fastening axis O of the terminal 31). Therefore, regardless of the direction in which the wire 32 of the terminal-attached wire 30 extends, the terminal 31 of the terminal-attached wire 30 and the opening edge of the opening 25 do not interfere with each other.

[0030] As described above, after the terminals 31 of the pair of terminal-equipped electric wires 30 are fastened and secured, the mounting portion 51 of the bellows boot 50 is attached to the cylindrical portion 22 of the housing 20 so as to collectively close the pair of front and rear openings 25 of the cylindrical portion 22 of the housing 20, as shown in Figure 1. Also, as shown in Figure 1, a lid-like member 28 (see Figure 2) is assembled to the cylindrical portion 22 of the housing 20 so as to partially close the rear end opening of the cylindrical portion 22.

[0031] With the above steps completed, the assembly of connector 1 is finished. The assembled housing 20 of connector 1 is fixed to the vehicle body or the like using the multiple mounting parts 29 (see Figures 1 and 2) provided at multiple locations on the outer circumference of the main body 21. Furthermore, the holder 40 that covers the wires 32 of the pair of terminal-equipped wires 30 is also fixed to the vehicle body or the like using the mounting parts 42 (see Figures 1 and 2) provided on the holder 40. This makes it possible to suppress problems such as vibration of the holder 40 and the bellows boot 50 connected to the holder 40 when using connector 1.

[0032] <Effects and Actions> As described above, according to the connector 1 of this embodiment, the wire with terminals 30 has an engaging portion (protruding portion 34) that engages with the housing 20, and the position of the second terminal (terminal 31) in the circumferential direction of the fastening axis O can be adjusted by adjusting the engagement position of the engaging portion 34 and the housing 20. By adjusting the position of the second terminal 31 in the circumferential direction of the fastening axis O according to the desired routing direction, the wire 32 can be extended in accordance with the routing direction without excessively bending the wire 32. Furthermore, the housing 20 has an opening 25 that has an opening width that allows the wire with terminals 30 to be inserted both inside and outside the housing 20, regardless of the position of the second terminal 31 in the circumferential direction. As a result, the wire with terminals 30 and the housing 20 do not interfere with each other, regardless of the direction in which the wire 32 is extended. Therefore, the connector 1 of this embodiment can accommodate various routing directions while using a common housing 20.

[0033] Furthermore, according to the above embodiment of the connector 1, it is possible to provide a connector 1 that can accommodate various routing directions depending on the number and arrangement of the multiple engagement portions (engagement grooves 27a) provided in the housing 20.

[0034] Furthermore, according to the connector 1 of the above embodiment, by arranging the multiple engaging portions 27a at the opening edge of the opening 25 of the housing 20, there is no need to provide space for the engaging portions inside the housing 20, and thus it is possible to avoid increasing the size of the housing 20 due to the provision of the engaging portions 27a.

[0035] Furthermore, according to the connector 1 of the above embodiment, by inserting the terminal-equipped wire 30 through the cylindrical body (bellows boot 50), waterproofing and insulation of the terminal-equipped wire 30 can be achieved. Since the cylindrical body 50 can be deformed according to the routing direction of the terminal-equipped wire 30, it does not interfere with the routing of the wire 32.

[0036] Furthermore, according to the connector 1 of the above embodiment, by attaching the mounting portion 42 of the cylindrical body (holder 40) to the surrounding member, it is possible to suppress problems such as vibration of the cylindrical body 40 when the connector 1 is in use.

[0037] <Other embodiments> It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, and various modifications can be adopted within the scope of the present invention. For example, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, and can be modified, improved, etc. as appropriate. Furthermore, the material, shape, dimensions, number, placement, etc. of each component in the embodiments described above are arbitrary and not limited as long as they can achieve the present invention.
