[Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0011] Specific embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the figures.

[0012] For the sake of explanation, as shown in Figures 1 to 8, we define "front (F)", "rear (B)", "left (L)", "right (R)", "up (U)", and "down (D)". The "front-back direction", "left-right direction", and "up-down direction" are orthogonal to each other. The up-down direction corresponds to the "alignment direction" of the present invention. The left side in the left-right direction corresponds to the "pull-out direction" of the present invention. The rear side in the front-back direction corresponds to the "erect direction" of the present invention.

[0013] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the wire harness 1 with a connector comprises a connector 2, an LA terminal 3 (see Figure 2) which serves as the mating terminal connected to the connector 2, and a wire 4 (see Figure 2) to which the LA terminal 3 is attached. The connector 2 is attached to an equipment case or the like. The front of the connector 2, which is positioned in the air environment outside the equipment case, is located in the air environment outside the equipment case, and the rear of the O-ring 8 is located in the oil environment inside the equipment case. The LA terminal 3 and the wire 4 are housed inside the equipment case.

[0014] As shown in Figure 2, the connector 2 includes a pair of nuts 5, 5, a pair of male terminals 6, 6, a housing 7, and an O-ring 8. The nut 5 is a well-known nut that penetrates in the front-to-back direction and has a screw hole 51 into which a bolt 9 is screwed.

[0015] The male terminals 6 are formed by cutting out and bending a metal plate. In this embodiment, a pair of male terminals 6 are provided side by side in the left-right direction. The pair of male terminals 6, 6 are housed in the housing 7 such that the plate thickness direction is aligned with the left-right direction.

[0016] The left-side male terminal 6 has a first connecting portion 61 that extends vertically and connects to a mating connector (not shown) located outside the equipment case, a first portion 62 that extends from the lower end of the first connecting portion 61 toward the rear, and a second connecting portion 63 that is bent inward (to the right) in the left-right direction from the rear end of the first portion 62.

[0017] The male terminal 6 on the right side has a first connecting portion 61 that extends along the vertical direction and connects to a mating connector (not shown) located outside the equipment case, a second portion 64 that extends diagonally from the lower end of the first connecting portion 61 toward the rear and downward, a first portion 62 that extends toward the rear from the lower end of the second portion 64, and a second connecting portion 63 that is bent inward (to the left) in the left-right direction from the rear end of the first portion 62.

[0018] The vertical length of the first connecting portion 61 of the pair of male terminals 6, 6 is the same. Also, the front-to-back length of the first portion 62 of the pair of male terminals 6, 6 is the same. By providing a second portion 64 only on the right male terminal 6, the first portion 62 of the right male terminal 6 is positioned lower than the first portion 62 of the left male terminal 6. Furthermore, the second connecting portion 63 of the right male terminal 6 is positioned further back and lower than the second connecting portion 63 of the left male terminal 6. That is, the second connecting portions 63 of the pair of male terminals 6 are arranged side by side in the front-to-back and vertical directions. The second connecting portion 63 is provided with a bolt hole 65 for passing a bolt 9 through.

[0019] The housing 7 is made of resin. As shown in Figure 3, the housing 7 has an air section 71 that runs vertically and an oil section 72 that extends rearward from the lower end of the air section 71. The air section 71 houses the first connection part 61 and the second part 64 of the male terminal 6. The air section 71 is provided in the shape of a bottomed cylinder that opens upward, and watertightness between the air section 71 and the oil section 72 within the housing 7 is ensured by injecting a filler into its bottom.

[0020] The oil portion 72 is provided with an O-ring groove 73 on its front outer surface for accommodating an O-ring 8. The oil portion 72 is also provided with a housing hole 74 for accommodating the first portion 62 of the male terminal 6.

[0021] As shown in Figure 1, the rear end portion 75 is fitted with a pair of nuts 5,5. The first wall portion 76 is erected from the rear end portion 75 toward the rear and extends in the left-right direction. Also, as shown in Figures 4 and 5, the first wall portion 76 is positioned between two adjacent LA terminals 3 in the vertical direction, insulating the two LA terminals 3,3. The second wall portion 771 is erected from the lower and upper sides of the first wall portion 76 and covers the lower LA terminal 3. The second wall portion 772 is erected from the upper side of the first wall portion 76 and covers the upper LA terminal 3.

[0022] The third wall portion 781 is erected rearward from the rear end portion 75 and accommodates the nut 5 positioned below the first wall portion 76 between itself and the first wall portion 76. The third wall portion 782 is erected rearward from the rear end portion 75 and accommodates the nut 5 positioned above the first wall portion 76 between itself and the first wall portion 76.

[0023] As shown in Figure 3, the fourth wall portion 791 is erected rearward from the rear end portion 75 and is provided to connect the lower third wall portion 781 and the first wall portion 76. The fourth wall portion 792 is erected rearward from the rear end portion 75 and is provided to connect the upper third wall portion 782 and the first wall portion 76. The fourth wall portion 792 is provided to the left of the fourth wall portion 791. The housing hole 74 for housing the left male terminal 6 is provided in communication with the left fourth wall portion 792. The housing hole 74 for housing the right male terminal 6 is provided in communication with the right fourth wall portion 791.

[0024] The rear end portion 75 of the oil-filled section 72, the central first wall portion 76, the left fourth wall portion 792, and the upper third wall portion 782 provide a nut-receiving groove for accommodating the nut 5 that connects to the left male terminal 6. This nut-receiving groove extends in the left-right direction, and an insertion opening for inserting the nut 5 is provided on the right side.

[0025] Furthermore, the rear end portion 75 of the oil portion 72, the central first wall portion 76, the right fourth wall portion 791, and the lower third wall portion 781 provide a nut housing groove for accommodating the nut 5 that connects to the right male terminal 6. This nut housing groove extends in the left-right direction, and an insertion opening for inserting the nut 5 is provided on the left side.

[0026] As shown in Figure 1, the rear end of the first portion 62 and the second connecting portion 63 of the male terminal 6 described above protrude from the housing hole 74 to the outside of the housing 7. The second connecting portion 63 is bent from the rear end of the first portion 62 toward the insertion opening of the nut housing groove. The second connecting portion 63 is positioned with a gap in the front-rear direction from the rear end portion 75. When the nut 5 is accommodated between the second connecting portion 63 and the rear end portion 75, the nut 5 is sandwiched between the second connecting portion 63 and the housing 7.

[0027] As shown in Figure 2, the LA terminal 3 has a terminal connection portion 31 that connects to the male terminal 6 and a wire connection portion 32 that connects to the electric wire 4, which are arranged in a left-right direction. The terminal connection portion 31 is plate-shaped and has a bolt hole 33 through which a bolt 9 that penetrates in the front-rear direction passes. In this embodiment, as shown in Figures 4 and 5, the LA terminal 3 is bolted to the male terminal 6 of the connector 2 such that the direction in which the two electric wires 4 are drawn out is to the left.

[0028] Next, a more detailed description of the housing 7 will be given. As shown in Figures 6 and 7, the rear end portion 75 is provided such that the lower side of the first wall portion 76 protrudes further rearward than the upper side of the first wall portion 76. The second wall portion 771, which is erected below the first wall portion 76, is provided further rearward than the second wall portion 772, which is erected above the first wall portion 76.

[0029] Furthermore, as shown in Figures 4 and 5, the second wall portion 771 is erected above and below the first wall portion 76, covering the lower LA terminal 3. The second wall portion 771 is erected from the left end of the first wall portion 76 and is positioned to cover the wire 4 side of the portion where the bolts 9 of the lower LA terminal 3 overlap. This ensures that the second wall portion 771 does not interfere with the bolt fastening work. In addition, the lower end of the second wall portion 771 is not connected to the third wall portion 781, and is provided separately.

[0030] The second wall portion 772 described above is erected above the first wall portion 76 and covers the upper LA terminal 3. The upper end of the second wall portion 772 is connected to the left end of the third wall portion 782. The second wall portion 772 is also provided so as to cover the part of the upper LA terminal 3 that overlaps with the bolt 9 on the wire 4 side. This prevents the second wall portion 772 from interfering with the bolt fastening work. In addition, as shown in Figure 8, the first wall portion 76 is provided with a notch 761 at its left end. The notch 761 is provided at the rear end portion 75 between the lower part of the first wall portion 76 and the second wall portion 771.

[0031] Next, as shown in Figure 3, the procedure for connecting the connector 2 located on the upper side and the other product 100 located on the lower side with an electric wire 4 will be described. As shown in the figure, LA terminals 3 are connected to both ends of the electric wire 4. The LA terminal 3 connected to one end of the electric wire 4 is bolted to the male terminal 6 of the connector 2, and the LA terminal 3 connected to the other end of the electric wire 4 is bolted to the other product 100. The electric wire 4 connected to the lower male terminal 6 is bent more than the electric wire 4 connected to the upper male terminal 6.

[0032] First, with the electric wire 4 facing left, the LA terminal 3 is placed between the second wall portion 771 and the third wall portion 781 and placed on top of the lower male terminal 6 of the connector 2. Next, the LA terminal 3 connected to the other end of the electric wire 4 is bent to the right and placed on the vertically perpendicular side of the other product 100 and bolted together. The LA terminal 3 on the other product 100 side is fastened in front of the LA terminal 3 on the connector 2 side. Therefore, due to the force of the electric wire 4 trying to straighten, the LA terminal 3 on the connector 2 side will be directed upward and backward, but it will be held in place by the first wall portion 76 and the second wall portion 771, and the LA terminal 3 can be temporarily fixed to the connector 2.

[0033] Furthermore, with the electric wire 4 facing left, the LA terminal 3 is passed under the rear end 75 of the second wall portion 772 and placed on top of the upper male terminal 6 of the connector 2. Next, the LA terminal 3 connected to the other end of the electric wire 4 is bent to the right and placed on the side of the other product 100 and bolted together. The LA terminal 3 on the other product 100 is bolted in front of the LA terminal 3 on the connector 2 side. Therefore, due to the force of the electric wire 4 trying to straighten, the LA terminal 3 on the connector 2 side is directed upward and backward, but is held down by the third wall portion 782 and the second wall portion 772, and the LA terminal 3 can be temporarily fixed to the connector 2. For this reason, after bolting the LA terminal 3 to the other product 100, it is not necessary to search for the electric wire 4 to connect to the upper and lower male terminals 6 of the two electric wires 4, but only the temporarily fixed LA terminal 3 needs to be bolted together, thus improving the efficiency of the fastening work.

[0034] According to the embodiment described above, the housing 7 has a pair of second wall portions 771 and 772 that are erected vertically from the first wall portion 76 and cover adjacent LA terminals 3. As a result, even if the electric wire 4 bends and the LA terminal 3 moves away from the rear end portion 75 (towards the rear), it is held in place by the second wall portions 771 and 772, allowing the LA terminal 3 to be temporarily fixed to the housing 7, thereby improving the workability of bolting the male terminal 6 and the LA terminal 3. Furthermore, the second wall portions 771 and 772 act as partitions between adjacent LA terminals 3, 3, increasing the insulation distance.

[0035] According to the embodiment described above, the lower end of the second wall portion 771 is provided separately from the third wall portion 781. This allows the electric wire 4 to be placed on the male terminal 6 from between the tip of the second wall portion 771 and the third wall portion 781 without having to pass it under the rear end portion 75 of the second wall portion 771, thereby improving handling.

[0036] According to the embodiment described above, the upper end of the second wall portion 772 is connected to the third wall portion 782. This further prevents the LA terminal 3 connected to the electric wire 4 from coming loose from its temporary fixing.

[0037] According to the embodiment described above, the first wall portion 76 is provided with a notch 761 at the end of the electric wire 4 in the direction of extraction. As a result, as shown in Figure 4, the electric wire 4 can be inserted into the notch 761, and the bending radius of the electric wire 4 can be increased.

[0038] According to the embodiment described above, the rear end portion 75 is provided such that the lower side of the first wall portion 76 protrudes further rearward than the upper side of the first wall portion 76, and the notch 761 is provided between the lower side of the first wall portion and the second wall portion 771 at the rear end portion 75. As a result, the front-rear positions of adjacent LA terminals 3 are different, so that even if the lower LA terminal 3 is inserted into the notch 761, insulation of the adjacent LA terminals 3 can be ensured.

[0039] According to the embodiment described above, the second wall portion 771 is erected on both the vertical and horizontal sides from the first wall portion 76. This prevents the LA terminal 3 inserted into the notch 761 from coming loose from its temporary fixation.

[0040] Furthermore, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, and can be modified, improved, etc., as appropriate. In addition, 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.

[0041] In the embodiment described above, the tip of the second wall portion 771 was provided away from the third wall portion 781, but this is not limited to this. The tip of the second wall portion 771 may be provided so as to be connected to the third wall portion 781.

[0042] In the embodiment described above, the second wall portion 772 was provided connected to the third wall portion 782, but it is not limited to this. The second wall portion 772 may be provided separately from the third wall portion 782.

[0043] Furthermore, providing a notch 761 in the first wall portion 76 is not essential and may be omitted.

[0044] Furthermore, in the embodiment described above, the rear end portion 75 had the lower side of the first wall portion 76 protruding further rearward than the upper side of the first wall portion 76, but this is not the only configuration. The rear end portion 75 may be provided flat.
