connector

Abstract

To easily perform operation to combine a first housing including a terminal storage part and a second housing closing an opening for operation in the first housing, and easily achieve cut-off of water between the housings.SOLUTION: A connector 20 comprises: a first housing 30 including a terminal storage part 32 formed with a terminal storage hole 35h and an electric wire storage part 40; and a second housing 50 combined with the first housing. The terminal storage part and the electric wire storage part are formed with an opening for operation 48. The electric wire storage part is formed in its outer end with an opening for leading out an electric wire 49. The second housing includes a lid part 52 closing the opening for operation, and an electric wire guide end 60 guiding the electric wire outside the opening for leading out an electric wire. An elastic ring 70 is interposed between the first housing and the second housing and is arranged obliquely with respect to an extension direction of the electric wire storage part to be located closer to the terminal storage part than the opening for operation and the opening for leading out an electric wire.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3

Claims

1. A connector in which the wires are drawn out in a direction intersecting the direction of extension of the terminals, A first housing includes a terminal housing portion having a terminal housing hole formed therein in which the terminal is mounted, and a wire housing portion extending outward from a part of the outer circumference of the terminal housing portion, A second housing which combines with the first housing, Equipped with, The terminal housing portion and the wire housing portion are provided with a working opening that opens on the front side in the direction in which the terminal is attached relative to the terminal housing hole. An opening for pulling out electric wires, which is continuous with the work opening, is formed at the outer end of the electric wire housing section. The second housing includes a cover portion that closes the work opening and a wire guide end portion that guides the wire drawn out from the terminal through the wire housing portion outside the wire exit opening, A connector comprising an elastic ring interposed between the first housing and the second housing, which is positioned obliquely to the extending direction of the wire housing so as to be located on the terminal housing side of the working opening and the wire exit opening.

2. The connector according to claim 1, The wire housing section has a bottom and a pair of side walls rising from both sides of the bottom. The second housing has a pair of inner walls that rise from both sides of the lid, A connector in which the pair of inner walls overlap the insides of the pair of side walls.

3. The connector according to claim 2, The inner wall portion has an inclined edge whose protrusion from the cover portion decreases as it moves away from the wire guide end. An inclined step portion is formed on the inner side of the side wall portion, facing the inclined edge. A connector in which the elastic ring is interposed between the inclined edge and the inclined step.

4. The connector according to claim 3, The inner wall portion has a positioning extension edge that protrudes from the inside of the inclined edge and is located on the inner circumference side of the elastic ring, forming a connector.

5. A connector according to any one of claims 2 to 4, The bottom portion has a guide inclined surface that slopes toward the inner side in the direction of terminal mounting relative to the terminal housing hole as it approaches the outer end of the wire housing portion, the connector.

6. A connector according to any one of claims 2 to 4, The wire guide end is formed in a cylindrical shape. The cover portion and the pair of inner wall portions are formed in a shape that extends from one end of the wire guide end, A connector further comprising a wire watertight portion interposed in a watertight state between the inner circumferential surface of the wire guide end and the outer circumferential surface of the wire passing through the wire guide end.

7. The connector according to claim 6, A connector in which an interference avoidance groove is formed on the inner surface of the inner wall portion, which is partially recessed along the extension of the electric wire that passes through the electric wire watertight portion.

8. A connector according to any one of claims 1 to 4, The first housing has a first directional locking portion and a second directional locking portion, The second housing has a first direction mating locking portion that locks with the first direction locking portion, and a second direction mating locking portion that locks with the second direction locking portion. The first locking direction between the first locking portion and the first mating locking portion is the direction in which the terminal extends. A connector in which the second locking direction between the second locking portion and the second mating locking portion is the extending direction of the wire housing portion.
