To provide a terminal that can improve versatility.SOLUTION: A terminal 1 includes: a coated fixing portion; an extending wall extending from the coated fixing portion; and a lance 30 formed by folding back a part of the extending wall and capable of being engaged with a housing 90. When the terminal 1 is inserted into the housing 90, the lance 30 abuts against a guide surface 91a formed on the locked portion 91 and elastically deforms in a second direction D2, thereby allowing the terminal 1 to be inserted. The lance 30 is formed such that when the terminal 1 is held in the housing 90, the abutment with the guide surface 91a of the locked portion 91 is released, and elastic deformation of the lance 30 is released. The lance 30 is formed such that when elastic deformation is released, a locking portion 32, which is a part of the lance 30, engages with a locked surface 91b of the locked portion 91, thereby removal of the terminal 1 in a third direction D3 opposite to the first direction D1 can be prevented.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 12

[0009] Embodiment 1 A connector 100 including terminals 1 according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. For ease of understanding, mutually orthogonal XYZ coordinates are set and referenced as appropriate. The -Y direction of the XYZ coordinates is the same direction as the first direction D1, which is the direction in which terminals 1 are inserted into housing 90, as shown in FIG. 1. The Z-axis direction is the height direction of connector 100, and the X-axis direction is the width direction of connector 100.

[0010] 2 and 3, the terminal 1 is a component of a connector 100, which is, for example, an automobile component. The terminal 1 is mounted on a circuit component B and connected to an electric wire E when in use. In addition to the terminal 1, the connector 100 includes a housing 90.

[0011] As shown in Figures 4 and 5, the housing 90 accommodates and protects the terminals 1. The housing 90 is made of, for example, an insulating material. Specifically, the housing 90 is formed, for example, by injection molding a resin. However, this is not limiting, and the material and manufacturing method of the housing 90 may be other than those mentioned above. A terminal accommodating chamber is formed inside the housing 90 to accommodate the terminals 1. The housing 90 has a locked portion 91 formed on the inner wall surface of the terminal accommodating chamber.

[0012] A part of the terminal 1 is locked in the locked portion 91. By this locking, the locked portion 91 holds the terminal 1 in the terminal accommodating chamber. The locked portion 91 is formed with a guide surface 91a and a locked surface 91b.

[0013] The guide surface 91a is formed at a position closer to the +Y side (a position closer to the rear in the first direction D1) in the locked portion 91. The guide surface 91a is an inclined surface that is inclined with respect to the first direction D1. The guide surface 91a is formed to guide the terminal 1 into the terminal accommodating chamber when inserting the terminal 1 into the terminal accommodating chamber, making it easier to insert the terminal 1 into the terminal accommodating chamber.

[0014] The locked surface 91b is formed at a position closer to the -Y side (a position closer to the front in the first direction D1) in the locked portion 91. The locked surface 91b is a surface that is approximately perpendicular to the first direction D1. The locked surface 91b is formed so that after the terminal 1 is inserted into the terminal accommodating chamber, a part of the terminal 1 is caught thereon, thereby preventing the terminal 1 from slipping out of the terminal accommodating chamber.

[0015] 2, a fixing protrusion 92 used for fixing to the circuit component B is formed on the lower surface (the surface closer to the -Z direction) of the housing 90. The fixing protrusion 92 is formed to protrude in the -Z direction. The fixing protrusion 92 is formed in a shape that can be hooked onto the lower surface of the circuit component B. The fixing protrusion 92 is inserted into the fixing hole B2 while being hooked onto the lower surface of the circuit component B so that the housing 90 does not come off from the circuit component B.

[0016] The housing 90 thus formed is disposed on the surface of the circuit component B closer to +Z as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, and the electric wires E are drawn out from the housing 90. As shown in FIG.

[0017] As shown in Figures 2 and 3, in this embodiment, circuit component B is a printed circuit board with a conductive electrode portion formed on the surface closer to +Z. However, this is not limited to this. Circuit component B is not limited to a printed circuit board, and may be other types of boards. This circuit component B has a through hole B1 and a fixing hole B2 formed therein.

[0018] The through-holes B1 are holes that penetrate in the thickness direction (Z-axis direction). In this embodiment, two through-holes B1 are formed in the circuit component B.

[0019] The fixing holes B2 are holes that penetrate in the plate thickness direction (Z-axis direction). In this embodiment, two fixing holes B2 are formed in the circuit component B. Fixing protrusions 92 that protrude from the lower surface of the housing 90 are inserted into the fixing holes B2.

[0020] The electric wire E is an insulated electric wire having a conductive core wire E1 and an insulating coating E2 that covers the core wire E1. The material of the core wire E1 is, for example, copper or aluminum.

[0021] The terminal 1 is made of a conductive material and electrically connects an electrode portion of the circuit component B and a core wire E1 of the electric wire E. The terminal 1 is formed, for example, by bending a metal plate. The metal plate may be, for example, a copper (Cu) plate plated with tin (Sn). However, the material of the metal plate is not limited thereto. Metal plates other than copper (Cu) plate plated with tin (Sn) may also be used. As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the terminal 1 includes a sheath fixing portion 10, an extension wall 20, a lance 30, a stabilizer S, a shaft fixing portion 40, and a connecting portion 50 that is inserted into and connected to the through hole B1.

[0022] The covering fixing portion 10 is provided at the end of the terminal 1 closer to the +Y direction. This covering fixing portion 10 is an insulation barrel that presses the end of the covering portion E2 of the electric wire E by crimping. The covering fixing portion 10 protects the connection portion between the shaft core fixing portion 40 and the core wire E1 from a force that would pull out the electric wire E in a third direction D3 (+Y direction) opposite to the first direction D1.

[0023] 7 and 8, the extending wall 20 extends from the covering fixing portion 10. In this embodiment, the extending wall 20 is a side wall having a surface parallel to the YZ plane, as shown in FIG.

[0024] As shown in FIG. 8, the lance 30 is formed by folding back a portion of the extension wall 20 at the upper end (the end closer to +Z) of the extension wall 20. As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the lance 30 is formed to be elastically deformable in a second direction D2 that intersects with the first direction D1. In this embodiment, the second direction D2 in which the lance 30 elastically deforms is a direction perpendicular to the first direction D1. However, this is not limited to this. The second direction D2 may be a direction other than a direction perpendicular to the first direction D1. As shown in FIG. 10, the lance 30 has a lance main body 30-1 and a lance extension portion 30-2.

[0025] The lance body 30-1 includes a base end portion 30-1a that protrudes from the extension wall 20, and an arc-shaped extension portion 30-1b that further extends from the base end portion 30-1a.

[0026] The base end portion 30-1a protrudes from the extending wall 20 in a protruding direction D4, which is a direction perpendicular to the first direction D1. In this embodiment, the protruding direction D4 is the same as the +X direction, which is one direction of the second direction D2. However, this is not limited to this. The protruding direction D4 may be a direction other than the +X direction.

[0027] The arc-shaped extension portion 30-1b extends in an arc shape from the base end portion 30-1a. As shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, this arc-shaped extension portion 30-1b extends from an end portion of the base end portion 30-1a closer to the +X direction, after being folded back about a second folding axis A2 (second axis). In this embodiment, the second folding axis A2 is an axis parallel to the first direction D1. As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the arc-shaped extension portion 30-1b is formed in an arc shape that is convex in the -X direction. Because the arc-shaped extension portion 30-1b is formed in an arc shape, the lance 30 is formed to be elastically deformable in the second direction D2.

[0028] As shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, the lance extension 30-2 extends from the end of the arc-shaped extension 30-1b closer to the +Y direction and is folded back around a first folding axis A1 (first axis). In this embodiment, the first folding axis A1 (first axis) is an axis parallel to the protruding direction D4. As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the lance extension 30-2 is folded back and then extends in the first direction D1 (-Y direction) toward the stabilizer S. The extended tip of the lance extension 30-2 protrudes to a position where it does not come into contact with the stabilizer S. Therefore, a predetermined clearance is formed between the lance extension 30-2 and the stabilizer S.

[0029] As shown in FIG. 12, the lance 30 is formed with a spring fulcrum 31 and a locking portion 32.

[0030] The spring fulcrum 31 is provided on the lance 30 toward the back (nearer to -Y) in the first direction D1. More specifically, the spring fulcrum 31 is provided at the folded-back portion of the arc-shaped extension portion 30-1b, as shown in Figures 10 and 11. As shown in Figure 12, by providing this spring fulcrum 31, the lance 30 is formed to be elastically deformable around the spring fulcrum 31.

[0031] The locking portion 32 is provided on the lance 30 toward the front (+Y side) in the first direction D1. More specifically, the locking portion 32 is provided at the tip of the arc-shaped extension portion 30-1b of the lance body 30-1. The locking portion 32 is formed to protrude in the +X-axis direction. The locking portion 32 is locked to a locked surface 91b of a locked portion 91 of the housing 90.

[0032] 12(A) and 12(B), when the terminal 1 is inserted into the housing 90, a part of the lance 30 (more specifically, the locking portion 32) comes into contact with a guide surface 91a formed on the locked portion 91. The contact with the guide surface 91a causes the lance 30 to elastically deform in the second direction D2, thereby allowing the terminal 1 to be inserted.

[0033] As shown in Figure 12(C), the lance 30 is configured so that when the terminal 1 is held in the housing 90, the engagement portion 91 is released from contact with the guide surface 91a, and the elastic deformation of the lance 30 is eliminated.

[0034] Furthermore, the lance 30 is configured so that, when the elastic deformation is released, a part of the lance 30 (the locking portion 32) locks onto the locking surface 91b of the locking portion 91, thereby preventing the terminal 1 from being removed in a third direction D3 opposite to the first direction D1.

[0035] 12(C), the lance 30 is formed so that when the terminal 1 is held in the housing 90, the locking portion 32, which is a part of the lance 30, is sandwiched between the locked surface 91b and the stabilizer S. As a result, the lance 30 is formed to be able to prevent the terminal 1 from being removed from the housing 90 while preventing plastic deformation.

[0036] As shown in Fig. 5, the stabilizer S is formed to prevent an operator from inserting the terminal 1 into the terminal accommodating chamber of the housing 90 in the wrong direction. Furthermore, when the terminal 1 is held in the housing 90, the stabilizer S can prevent the terminal 1 from tilting inside the terminal accommodating chamber. Here, tilting refers to the terminal 1 rotating around the Z axis and tilting relative to the Y axis, or rotating around the Y axis. In this embodiment, the stabilizer S is disposed between the spring fulcrum 31 and the locking portion 32 and the lance extension portion 30-2, as shown in Fig. 13.

[0037] As shown in Fig. 6, the shaft core fixing portion 40 is provided at the end portion of the extending wall 20 closer to the -Y direction. The shaft core fixing portion 40 is a wire barrel that is crimped to the core wire E1 of the electric wire E. More specifically, the shaft core fixing portion 40 is crimped to the core wire E1 by crimping. The shaft core fixing portion 40 is electrically connected to the core wire E1 by this crimping.

[0038] As shown in Figures 6 and 8, the connection portion 50 is formed to protrude from the extending wall 20 in a direction perpendicular to the first direction D1. In this embodiment, the connection portion 50 is formed to protrude from the extending wall 20 in the -Z direction. However, the protruding direction of the connection portion 50 is not limited to this. The connection portion 50 may be formed to protrude in a direction other than perpendicular to the first direction D1. This connection portion 50 is inserted into a through hole B1 of the circuit component B. The connection portion 50 inserted into the through hole B1 is electrically connected to the conductor portion of the circuit component B by solder.

[0039] Next, a method for forming the terminal 1 and the lance 30 configured as described above will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0040] First, a worker who manufactures the terminal 1 prepares a sheet of conductive plate-like material. Then, the plate-like material is bent to form, for example, the coating fixing portion 10 and the shaft fixing portion 40, thereby forming the terminal 1 before the lance 30 is formed, as shown in FIG.

[0041] Next, the worker folds back the portion of the arc-shaped extension 30-1b extending from the end closer to the +Y direction around the first folding axis A1 (first axis), as shown in Fig. 15. As a result, the lance extension 30-2 is formed so that its tip faces the first direction D1.

[0042] Next, as shown in Fig. 16, the worker folds back the portion extending from the end of base end 30-1a closer to the +X side around second folding axis A2 (second axis). As a result, arc-shaped extension 30-1b is formed into a generally arc shape that bulges in the -X direction. Also, by folding back the portion extending from the end of base end 30-1a closer to the +X side around second folding axis A2 (second axis), the tip end from which lance extension 30-2 is extended protrudes to a position where it does not come into contact with stabilizer S, with a predetermined clearance C between them.

[0043] In this way, the lance 30 is formed, thereby completing the terminal 1. As described above, the manufacturing method of the lance 30 and the terminal 1 has been exemplified, but it is not limited to this. The order of each step may be changed as appropriate.

[0044] As described above, the terminal 1 according to this embodiment includes the lance 30 formed by folding back a portion of the extending wall 20 extending from the cover fastening portion 10, as shown in Figures 6 and 7. Therefore, the terminal 1 according to this embodiment can improve versatility.

[0045] For example, as shown in FIG. 17 , a terminal 1A according to the comparative example includes a sheath fixing portion 10, a lance 30, a shaft fixing portion 40, and a rectangular cylindrical terminal fitting portion 60. A male terminal 200, which is a mating partner of the terminal 1A, is inserted into the terminal fitting portion 60. The shaft fixing portion 40 is provided adjacent to the sheath fixing portion 10, and the terminal fitting portion 60 is provided adjacent to the shaft fixing portion 40. The lance 30 is generally provided in the terminal fitting portion 60, as in the terminal 1A according to the comparative example. Therefore, in the comparative example, the terminal fitting portion 60 is essential to realize the retaining function of the lance 30. Therefore, it is difficult to apply the structure of the lance 30 according to the terminal 1A to a terminal without a terminal fitting portion, resulting in a lack of versatility. Furthermore, applying the structure of the lance 30 to a terminal without a terminal fitting portion may increase the number of parts in the terminal.

[0046] In contrast, in this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, a lance 30 is provided which is formed by folding back a portion of the extending wall 20 extending from the cover fastening portion 10. Therefore, in this embodiment, the structure of the lance 30 can be applied to a terminal 1 which does not have a rectangular tubular terminal fitting portion 60. Therefore, in this embodiment, it is possible to provide a terminal 1 which improves versatility. Furthermore, in this embodiment, it is possible to apply the structure of the lance 30 to a terminal 1 which does not have a rectangular tubular terminal fitting portion 60 without increasing the number of parts of the terminal 1. Therefore, in this embodiment, it is possible to provide a terminal 1 which can suppress an increase in the number of parts.

[0047] In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 12, when the terminal 1 is inserted into the housing 90, the lance 30 elastically deforms around the spring fulcrum 31. Therefore, the degree of elastic deformation of the lance 30 can be increased around the spring fulcrum 31. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 18, when a force F is applied in the third direction D3 in which the terminal 1 is pulled out of the housing 90, the lance 30 elastically deforms around the fulcrum 33, which is closer to the front (+Y direction) than the spring fulcrum 31. The degree of elastic deformation of the lance 30 can be reduced compared to when the lance 30 elastically deforms around the spring fulcrum 31. As a result, the terminal 1 according to this embodiment can be easily inserted into the housing 90 and has a holding force that makes it difficult for the terminal 1 to be pulled out of the housing 90.

[0048] 12(C), when the terminal 1 is held in the housing 90, the locking portion 32, which is a part of the lance 30, is sandwiched between the locked surface 91b and the stabilizer S. Therefore, in this embodiment, it is possible to provide a terminal 1 that can prevent the terminal 1 from being removed from the housing 90 while preventing plastic deformation of the lance 30.

[0049] In this embodiment, the stabilizer S is disposed between the spring fulcrum 31 and the locking portion 32, as shown in Figures 6 and 7. Therefore, when a force is applied in the third direction D3 in which the terminal 1 is pulled out of the housing 90, the stabilizer S comes into contact with the lance extension portion 30-2, which is a part of the lance 30, as shown in Figures 13 and 14. As a result, in this embodiment, it is possible to prevent the terminal 1 from being pulled out of the housing 90 while suppressing plastic deformation of the lance 30.

[0050] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments.

[0051] For example, in the above embodiment, as shown in Figures 10 and 11, the lance extension 30-2 extends from the lance body 30-1 and is folded back about a first folding axis A1 parallel to the protruding direction D4. Therefore, the first folding axis A1 is an axis parallel to the protruding direction D4. However, this is not limited to this. The first folding axis A1 may be an axis other than parallel to the protruding direction D4. However, it is preferable that the first folding axis A1 be an axis parallel to the protruding direction D4.

[0052] The lance body 30-1 is formed in a shape that includes a portion that is folded back about a second folding axis A2 that is parallel to the first direction D1. However, this is not limited to this. The lance body 30-1 may be formed in a shape that does not include a folded back portion. However, it is preferable that the lance body 30-1 be formed in a shape that includes a folded back portion.

[0053] In the above embodiment, the stabilizer S is formed on the extension wall 20. However, this is not limitative. The stabilizer S may be formed on a portion other than the extension wall 20.

[0054] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the terminal 1 has a stabilizer S disposed between the spring fulcrum 31 and the locking portion 32. However, this is not limited to this. The terminal 1 does not have to have the stabilizer S. However, from the viewpoint of suppressing plastic deformation of the lance 30, it is preferable that the terminal 1 has the stabilizer S.

[0055] The present invention allows various embodiments and modifications without departing from the broad spirit and scope of the present invention. The above-described embodiments are for the purpose of explaining the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. [Explanation of symbols]
