Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present disclosure relates to a terminal fitting and a connector. [Background technology]

[0002] Patent Document 1 discloses a terminal fitting including a terminal body and a slide part attached to the terminal body. The terminal fitting is accommodated in a housing. A core wire exposed from the coating at the end of an electric wire is inserted into the terminal body. As the slide part moves relative to the terminal body, the lower contact surface and the upper contact surface of the terminal body change between a contact state in which they contact the core wire and a non-contact state in which they do not contact the core wire. Patent Document 2 also discloses a similar configuration to this terminal fitting. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Patent Publication No. 2021-34307 [Patent Document 2] Patent Publication No. 2021-28882 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] In the configurations of Patent Documents 1 and 2, the coating is not held by the housing, so a configuration for holding the coating is necessary. Conventionally, a configuration has been adopted in which a holding member for holding the coating is attached to a housing that accommodates terminal fittings, thereby indirectly holding the coating to the housing. Furthermore, when the configurations of Patent Documents 1 and 2 are adopted, it is preferable that the sliding portion in the non-contact state does not come into contact with the coating of the core wire. In this case, when the sliding portion is moved relative to the terminal body from the non-contact state to the contact state, the sliding portion and the front end of the coating may separate, exposing the core wire. Conventionally, a configuration has been adopted in which a cover member is attached to a housing that accommodates terminal fittings to cover the exposed core wire.

[0010] [Description of the embodiments of the present disclosure] First, the embodiments of the present disclosure will be listed and described. (1) A terminal fitting connected to a core wire exposed from a coating at the front end of an electric wire, a connection member having a contact portion into which the core wire is inserted and which can come into contact with the core wire; a slide member slidably attached to the connection member; Equipped with the sliding member is slidable between a first position where the contact portion is in a separated state away from the core wire and a second position where the contact portion is in a contact state with the core wire, The slide member covers the core wire when disposed at the second position and has a holding portion that holds a front end of the coating.

[0011] The terminal fitting (1) can cover and hold the front end of the covering with the holding portion and can also cover the exposed core wire even when the sliding member is in the second position.

[0012] (2) The holding portion has a guide portion that guides the electric wire while contacting the coating, and a protrusion portion that protrudes toward the guide portion and is disposed on the opposite side to the guide portion across an arrangement space in which the electric wire is arranged, the protrusion is displaceable between a spaced position spaced from the guide and a close position close to the guide, The terminal fitting according to (1), wherein the protrusion bites into the coating that contacts the guide portion when in the adjacent position.

[0013] (2) The terminal fitting has a protrusion that can bite into the coating, so that the coating can be held in place well.

[0014] (3) The slide member has a tubular portion into which the contact portion is inserted, The terminal fitting described in (2), wherein, when viewing the slide member from the front-to-rear direction, the protrusion portion is positioned only between the two outermost ends of the tubular portion in the moving direction from the separated position to the close position, and is positioned only between the two outermost ends of the tubular portion in a direction perpendicular to the moving direction.

[0015] Before being wrapped around the insulation barrel, the insulation barrel tends to protrude in the left-right direction beyond the cylindrical portion. In contrast, if the protruding portion is arranged only between the outermost ends of the cylindrical portion in the direction of movement and only between the outermost ends of the cylindrical portion in the direction perpendicular to the direction of movement, as in the terminal fitting (3), the outermost dimensions of the terminal fitting are unlikely to change when comparing before and after the insulation is held. For this reason, in a configuration in which multiple terminal fittings are housed in a housing, it is easy to construct a configuration in which adjacent terminal fittings are arranged closer to each other and electric wires are connected to each of the terminal fittings housed in the housing at the same time.

[0016] (4) A terminal fitting according to any one of (1) to (3), a housing for accommodating the terminal fitting; Equipped with The housing includes a first housing having a groove-shaped recess and a second housing stacked on the first housing to cover the recess, The first housing and the second housing have a cover portion that covers the holding portion when the terminal fitting is accommodated in the recess.

[0017] In the connector (4), by covering the holding portion with the covering portion, it is easy to keep the coating held by the holding portion.

[0018] (5) The holding portion has a guide portion that guides the electric wire while contacting the coating, and a protrusion portion that protrudes toward the guide portion and is disposed on the opposite side to the guide portion across an arrangement space in which the electric wire is arranged, The guide portion is disposed along a bottom surface of the recess, The connector according to (4), wherein the protrusion is arranged on an opening side spaced from the bottom surface.

[0019] The connector of (5) is easy to construct a configuration in which the protrusions are displaced from the separated position to the adjacent position with the terminal fittings accommodated in the recesses of the first housing.

[0020] [Details of the embodiment of the present disclosure] <Embodiment 1> As shown in FIG. 1, the connector 100 of the first embodiment includes a terminal fitting 10 and a housing 90. The terminal fitting 10 includes a connecting member 11 and a sliding member 12, which are separate from each other. The connecting member 11 and the sliding member 12 are formed by pressing a conductive metal plate. The housing 90 includes a first housing 91, a second housing 92, and a third housing 93. The first housing 91, the second housing 92, and the third housing 93 are made of synthetic resin. In the first embodiment, the "front side", "rear side", "upper side", "lower side", "right side", and "left side" are represented by "F", "B", "U", "D", "R", and "L", respectively, in the drawings. The front-rear direction is the direction in which the connector 100 is fitted into a mating connector (not shown).

[0021] [Configuration of connecting parts] As shown in Fig. 2, the connection member 11 has a connection body 11A having a rectangular cylindrical shape and extending in the front-rear direction, and a pair of contact portions 11B extending rearward from the rear end of the connection body 11A. The connection body 11A is open on both sides in the front-rear direction. The connection member 11 has a locking portion 11C protruding upward from the upper wall of the connection body 11A. The connection body 11A has a resilient contact piece (not shown) inside. The resilient contact piece is connected to a tab of a mating terminal fitting (not shown). The tab is inserted into the connection member 11 from the front of the connection member 11, contacts the resilient contact piece, and is connected to the connection member 11.

[0022] Each contact portion 11B extends backward in a strip shape from the rear end of each of the upper and lower walls of the connection body 11A. Each contact portion 11B is elastically deformable in the vertical direction with the rear end of each of the upper and lower walls of the connection body 11A as a fulcrum. This allows each contact portion 11B to elastically deform in the vertical direction and move closer to and away from each other.

[0023] [Configuration of slide parts] As shown in FIG. 3, the sliding member 12 has a square-tube-shaped tube portion 12A extending in the front-rear direction, and a holding portion 12B that is connected to the rear end of the tube portion 12A and extends rearward. The tube portion 12A is open on both sides in the front-rear direction. A downwardly cutout portion 12C is formed on the upper side of the rear portion of the tube portion 12A. The tube portion 12A is slidable between a first position and a second position with respect to the connecting member 11 in a state in which each contact portion 11B of the connecting member 11 is inserted (see FIGS. 6 and 7). The first position is a position in which the upper contact portion 11B is in a separated state away from the core wire 83 of the electric wire 81 (see FIG. 6). The second position is a position in which the upper contact portion 11B is in a contact state with the core wire 83 (see FIG. 7). The first position is a position rearward of the second position.

[0024] 1, the electric wire 81 is, for example, a coated electric wire, and at the front end, the coating 82 is stripped off to expose the core wire 83. For example, the electric wires 81 are arranged in parallel, and the coatings 82 are fixed to a sheet 84 made of nonwoven fabric or the like (see FIG. 4). By handling the sheet 84, each of the multiple electric wires 81 fixed to the sheet 84 can be inserted into each of the multiple terminal fittings 10 at the same time.

[0025] 3, the holding portion 12B has a guide portion 12D, a connecting piece 12G, and a protrusion portion 12H. The guide portion 12D extends rearward in a U-shape from the rear end of the lower end portion of the tube portion 12A. The guide portion 12D has a bottom wall 12E and left and right side walls 12F rising from both left and right side edges of the bottom wall 12E.

[0026] The connecting piece 12G is provided in a belt shape extending backward from the rear end of the upper wall of the tube portion 12A. The rear part of the connecting piece 12G is bent backward and inclined upward. The protruding portion 12H has a base portion 12J extending backward from the rear end of the connecting piece 12G, and a hanging piece 12K hanging from both left and right side edges of the base portion 12J. The rear end edge of the hanging piece 12K is formed to be inclined forward and downward. The pair of hanging pieces 12K of the protruding portion 12H are formed to protrude toward the guide portion 12D. Between the protruding portion 12H and the guide portion 12D, an arrangement space S is formed in which the electric wire 81 is arranged. The protruding portion 12H is arranged on the opposite side of the guide portion 12D with the arrangement space S sandwiched therebetween. When the slide member 12 is viewed from the front-rear direction, the outer lateral dimension D1 of the pair of hanging pieces 12K is smaller than the outer lateral dimension D2 of the pair of left and right side walls 12F (see FIG. 5).

[0027] For example, connecting member 11 is provided with a locking portion (not shown), and sliding member 12 is provided with a locked portion (not shown). The locking portion locks into the locked portion, thereby holding sliding member 12 in a first position relative to connecting member 11 (see FIG. 6). Furthermore, sliding member 12 is provided with a front locked portion (not shown) forward of the locked portion. The locking portion locks into the front locked portion, thereby holding sliding member 12 in a second position relative to connecting member 11 (see FIG. 7).

[0028] [First housing configuration] As shown in FIG. 1, the first housing 91 is flat with its thickness oriented in the up-down direction. The first housing 91 has a plurality of recesses 91A. Each recess 91A is partitioned by a partition wall 91F that extends in the front-rear direction and stands upward (see FIG. 5). Each recess 91A extends in the front-rear direction like a groove and is aligned in the left-right direction. A cavity 91B is provided in front of each recess 91A so as to be continuous with each other (see FIGS. 6, 7, and 8). A protrusion 91D is provided on each side edge in the left-right direction of the first housing 91 so as to protrude outward in the left-right direction. Only the left protrusion 91D is shown in FIG. 1.

[0029] [Second housing configuration] The second housing 92 has a flat cover portion 92A with its thickness oriented in the up-down direction, and side walls 92B hanging down from both left and right edges of the cover portion 92A. Locking recesses 92C are formed on the inner left-right sides of each side wall portion 92B, recessed outward in the left-right direction. The cover portion 92A of the second housing 92 is stacked on the first housing 91 from above to cover each recess 91A of the first housing 91 (see FIG. 10).

[0030] [Third housing configuration] The third housing 93 has a flat plate portion 93A with a plate thickness direction facing the up-down direction, a standing wall 93B rising from both left and right end edges of the flat plate portion 93A, and a front wall 93C rising from the front end edge of the flat plate portion 93A. The front wall 93C has a plurality of insertion holes 93H penetrating in the front-rear direction. A locking rib 93G protruding outward in the left-right direction and extending in the front-rear direction is provided on the left-right outer side of the standing wall 93B. Only the left locking rib 93G is shown in FIG. 1. The flat plate portion 93A has a plurality of recesses 93D. Each recess 93D extends in the front-rear direction and is lined up in the left-right direction. A cavity 93E is provided in front of each recess 93D so as to be connected to each other. The plurality of insertion holes 93H correspond to the cavity 91B of the first housing 91 and the cavity 93E.

[0031] [An example of how to connect a wire to a terminal] As shown in FIG. 6, the terminal fitting 10 is placed in the recess 91A and the cavity 91B of the first housing 91. At this time, the slide member 12 is in a state of being located at a first position with respect to the connection member 11. First, the connection member 11 is in a position protruding forward of the slide member 12, and the terminal fitting 10 is inserted from the rear into the cavity 91B. Then, the front end of the connection member 11 is abutted against the protrusion 91C provided at the front end of the cavity 91B. Then, the locking portion 11C of the terminal fitting 10 is locked in the through hole 91E formed in the upper wall of the cavity 91B. This makes the terminal fitting 10 in a state of being prevented from coming off from the first housing 91. At this time, the guide portion 12D of the holding portion 12B is arranged along the bottom surface of the recess 91A, and the protrusion portion 12H of the holding portion 12B is arranged on the opening side of the recess 91A spaced upward from the bottom surface of the recess 91A (see FIG. 5).

[0032] Next, the electric wire 81, from which the coating 82 has been stripped and the core wire 83 has been exposed, is inserted from the rear into the terminal fitting 10 in which the slide member 12 is disposed at the first position relative to the connection member 11. Specifically, after the terminal fitting 10 is accommodated in each recess 91A and cavity 91B, the electric wires 81 fixed to the sheet 84 are inserted all at once. At this time, the electric wire 81 is inserted into the terminal fitting 10 while the coating 82 is brought into contact with and aligned with the guide portion 12D of the holding portion 12B. At this time, the guide portion 12D guides the electric wire 81. When the front end portion of the coating 82 slightly enters the rear end portion of the tube portion 12A, the insertion of the electric wire 81 into the connection member 11 is stopped. At this time, the protrusion portion 12H is disposed at a spaced position spaced upward from the guide portion 12D.

[0033] Next, the slide member 12 is slid from the first position to the second position relative to the connection member 11. At this time, only the slide member 12 slides, and the position of the electric wire 81 does not change. As a result, as shown in FIG. 7, the upper contact portion 11B is pressed downward by the upper wall of the tube portion 12A and elastically deformed, approaches the lower contact portion 11B, and contacts the core wire 83 from above. As a result, the core wire 83 is sandwiched from above and below by the upper and lower contact portions 11B. The front end portion of the coating 82 is separated backward from the rear end of the tube portion 12A. The partition wall 91F of the first housing 91 covers the holding portion 12B from the left and right directions in a state in which the terminal fitting 10 is accommodated in the recess 91A. In other words, the partition wall 91F is a cover portion that covers the holding portion 12B from the left and right directions.

[0034] Next, the protrusion 12H is pressed downward by a pressing tool such as a crimper. As a result, as shown in FIG. 8, the protrusion 12H moves downward. Then, the pair of hanging pieces 12K bite into the sheath 82 of the electric wire 81 arranged in contact with the guide portion 12D (see FIG. 9). In this way, the terminal fitting 10 accommodated in the first housing 91 is connected to the core wire 83 exposed from the sheath 82 at the front end of the electric wire 81. When the slide member 12 is arranged at the second position and the protrusion 12H is pressed downward, the holding portion 12B covers the core wire 83 from above and below and holds the front end of the sheath 82. At this time, the protrusion 12H is arranged at a close position close to the guide portion 12D. For example, the protrusion 12H arranged at the close position can be moved to the separated position by inserting a jig (not shown) with a pointed tip between the protrusion 12H and the sheath 82H.

[0035] 5 and 9, when the slide member 12 is viewed from the front-rear direction, the protrusions 12H arranged at the separated position and the adjacent position are arranged only between the two outermost ends of the tube portion 12A in the moving direction (vertical direction) from the separated position to the adjacent position. Here, the two outermost ends of the tube portion 12A in the moving direction (vertical direction) from the separated position to the adjacent position are the upper end E1 and the lower end E2 of the slide member 12 (see FIG. 5). The dimension between the upper end E1 and the lower end E2 in the vertical direction is the maximum dimension of the slide member 12 (terminal fitting 10) in the vertical direction.

[0036] Furthermore, the protrusions 12H are disposed only between the two outermost ends of the tube portion 12A in the direction (left-right direction) perpendicular to the movement direction (up-down direction). Here, the two outermost ends of the tube portion 12A in the direction (left-right direction) perpendicular to the movement direction (up-down direction) are the left end E3 and the right end E4 of the slide member 12 (see FIG. 5). The dimension between the left end E3 and the right end E4 in the left-right direction is the maximum dimension of the slide member 12 (terminal fitting 10) in the left-right direction.

[0037] Next, similarly to the first housing 91, the terminal fitting 10 is accommodated in the recess 93D and the cavity 93E of the third housing 93, and then the electric wire 81 is inserted into the terminal fitting 10, the slide member 12 is moved from the first position to the second position, and the protrusion 12H is pressed downward by the pressing jig. In this manner, the electric wire 81 is connected to the terminal fitting 10 accommodated in the third housing 93.

[0038] Next, the first housing 91, the second housing 92, and the third housing 93 are assembled. First, the first housing 91 is assembled to the third housing 93. At this time, the first housing 91 is placed in a position in which the recessed portion 91A of the first housing 91 faces upward and the electric wires 81 are drawn out backward. Then, the first housing 91 is attached from above between a pair of standing walls 93B of the third housing 93. The standing walls 93B are formed with locking holes 93F penetrating in the plate thickness direction, and each of the protruding portions 91D of the first housing 91 is locked into each of the locking holes 93F (see FIG. 1).

[0039] Next, the first housing 91 and the third housing 93 are attached between a pair of side wall portions 92B of the second housing 92. At this time, each locking rib 93G is locked into each locking recess 92C (see FIG. 1). In this manner, the connector 100 is completed. As shown in FIG. 10, in the completed connector 100, the cover portion 92A of the second housing 92 covers from above the holding portion 12B of the slide member 12 of the terminal fitting 10 housed in the recess 91A of the first housing 91. Also, in the completed connector 100, the first housing 91 covers from above the holding portion 12B of the slide member 12 of the terminal fitting 10 housed in the recess 93D of the third housing 93.

[0040] Next, the effects of this configuration will be illustrated. The terminal fitting 10 is connected to a core wire 83 exposed from a coating 82 at a front end of an electric wire 81, and includes a connection member 11 having a contact portion 11B into which the core wire 83 is inserted and capable of coming into contact with the core wire 83, and a slide member 12 attached to the connection member 11 so as to be slidable in the front-rear direction. The slide member 12 is slidable between a first position where the contact portion 11B is separated from the core wire 83, and a second position where the contact portion 11B is in contact with the core wire 83. The slide member 12 has a holding portion 12B that covers the core wire 83 and holds the front end of the coating 82 when the slide member 12 is disposed at the second position.

[0041] According to this configuration, even when the sliding member 12 is placed in the second position, the holding portion 12B can cover and hold the front end portion of the coating 82, and can also cover the exposed core wire 83.

[0042] The holding portion 12B has a guide portion 12D that guides the electric wire 81 while contacting the coating 82, and a protrusion portion 12H that protrudes toward the guide portion 12D and is disposed on the opposite side of the guide portion 12D across the arrangement space S in which the electric wire 81 is disposed. The protrusion portion 12H is displaceable between a distant position away from the guide portion 12D and a close position close to the guide portion 12D. When in the close position, the protrusion portion 12H bites into the coating 82 that is in contact with the guide portion 12D. With this configuration, the protrusion portion 12H can bite into the coating 82, so that the coating 82 can be well held.

[0043] The slide member 12 has a tube portion 12A into which the contact portion 11B is inserted. When the slide member 12 is viewed from the front-rear direction, the protrusions 12H are disposed only between both outermost ends of the tube portion 12A in the movement direction from the separated position to the close position, and are disposed only between both outermost ends of the tube portion 12A in the left-right direction perpendicular to the movement direction.

[0044] Before being wrapped around the insulation barrel, it tends to protrude in the left-right direction beyond the tubular portion. In contrast, as in the case of the terminal fitting 10, if the protrusion 12H is arranged only between the outermost ends of the tubular portion 12A in the moving direction and only between the outermost ends of the tubular portion 12A in the left-right direction perpendicular to the moving direction, the outermost dimensions of the terminal fitting 10 are unlikely to change when comparing before and after the covering 82 is held. For this reason, in the case of a configuration in which a plurality of terminal fittings 10 are housed in the housing 90, it is easy to construct a configuration in which adjacent terminal fittings 10 are arranged closer to each other and the electric wires 81 are connected collectively to each of the terminal fittings 10 housed in the housing 90.

[0045] The connector 100 includes a terminal fitting 10 and a housing 90 that accommodates the terminal fitting 10. The housing 90 includes a first housing 91 having a groove-shaped recess 91A formed therein, and a second housing 92 that is stacked on the first housing 91 and covers the recess 91A. The first housing 91 includes a partition wall 91F that is a cover that covers the holding portion 12B from the left and right when the terminal fitting 10 is accommodated in the recess 91A. The second housing 92 includes a cover portion 92A that covers the holding portion 12B when the terminal fitting 10 is accommodated in the recess 91A. With this configuration, by covering the holding portion 12B with the cover portion 92A, it is easy to protect the holding portion 12B and maintain the state in which the coating 82 is held by the holding portion 12B.

[0046] The holding portion 12B has a guide portion 12D that guides the electric wire 81 while contacting the coating 82, and a protrusion portion 12H that protrudes toward the guide portion 12D and is disposed on the opposite side of the guide portion 12D across the arrangement space S in which the electric wire 81 is disposed. The guide portion 12D is disposed along the bottom surface of the recess 91A, and the protrusion portion 12H is disposed on the opening side spaced apart from the bottom surface of the recess 91A. With this configuration, it is easy to construct a configuration in which the protrusion portion 12H is displaced from the separated position to the close position while the terminal fitting 10 is accommodated in the recess 91A of the first housing 91. Also, it is easy to connect the electric wires 81 to each of the terminal fittings 10 accommodated in the recess 91A all at once.

[0047] <Other embodiments> The embodiments disclosed herein should be considered to be illustrative and not restrictive in all respects. The scope of the present invention is not limited to the embodiments disclosed herein, but is indicated by the claims, and is intended to include all modifications within the meaning and scope of the claims.
