[0017] The present invention will be described below through embodiments of the invention, but the following embodiments do not limit the scope of the invention as claimed. Furthermore, not all of the combinations of features described in the embodiments are necessarily essential to the solution of the invention.

[0018] 1 shows a perspective view of a device 5 including a clip-type connector 100 according to the first embodiment. The device 5 includes a clip-type connector 110, a workpiece 140, and electric wires 120 and 130. The clip-type connector 100 and the clip-type connector 110 are attached to the workpiece 140 by sandwiching the workpiece 140 between them. The workpiece 140 may be, for example, a plate-like member such as a solar panel, but is not limited to this.

[0019] The clip-type connector 100 is fixed to the clip-type connector 100 so that the electric wire 120 and the clip-type connector 100 are electrically connected. The clip-type connector 110 is fixed to the clip-type connector 110 so that the electric wire 130 and the clip-type connector 110 are electrically connected. The clip-type connector 110 has the same configuration as the clip-type connector 100. Therefore, detailed description of the clip-type connector 110 will be omitted.

[0020] In this embodiment, a right-handed Cartesian coordinate system having an x-axis, a y-axis, and a z-axis is shown along with the configuration of the device 5 or the clip-type connector 100, etc., mainly for the purpose of easily explaining the configuration of the device 5. In this embodiment, the configuration of the device 5 or the clip-type connector 100, etc. may be explained using this Cartesian coordinate system.

[0021] Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the clip-type connector 100. Fig. 3 is a top view of the clip-type connector 100. Fig. 4 is a cross-sectional view of the clip-type connector 100. Specifically, Fig. 4 shows the cross-section A-A of Fig. 3.

[0022] The clip-type connector 100 is formed from a conductive material. For example, the clip-type connector 100 is formed from a metal material. For example, the clip-type connector 100 is formed from a single metal plate. The clip-type connector 100 includes a base 10, a wall 20, a first elastic portion 31, a second elastic portion 32, a connecting portion 40, an extension portion 50, a first crimping portion 101, and a second crimping portion 102.

[0023] The conductive member of the electric wire 120 is crimped to the first crimping portion 101 in a state in which the conductive member of the electric wire 120 is electrically connected to the first crimping portion 101. The covering member of the conductive member of the electric wire 120 is crimped to the second crimping portion 102. In this way, the electric wire 120 is substantially fixed to the clip-type connector 100.

[0024] The base 10 has a main surface 11. The main surface 11 extends in a direction along the z-axis.

[0025] The wall portion 20 stands upright from the base portion 10. Specifically, the wall portion 20 stands upright from the main surface 11 of the base portion 10. The wall portion 20 stands upright from the main surface 11 of the base portion 10 in the positive direction of the y-axis.

[0026] The first elastic portion 31 and the second elastic portion 32 are located on the opposite side of the wall portion 20 from the base portion 10. The first elastic portion 31 and the second elastic portion 32 are spaced apart from each other in a direction along the main surface 11.

[0027] The connecting portion 40 connects the first elastic portion 31 and the second elastic portion 32. The connecting portion 40 connects the first elastic portion 31 and the second elastic portion 32 in the direction along the z-axis. The connecting portion 40 faces the main surface 11 and is located on the opposite side of the first elastic portion 31 and the second elastic portion 32 from the wall portion 20. The connecting portion 40 has an electrical contact 42 at a position facing the main surface 11. The connecting portion 40 has a curved portion 41. The electrical contact 42 is located near the vertex of the curved portion 41. Specifically, the electrical contact 42 is located near the vertex of the curved portion 41 in the y-axis direction.

[0028] As a result, the base 10, wall 20, first elastic portion 31, second elastic portion 32, and connecting portion 40 have a shape that surrounds the space 103 while forming a space 103 and a gap 104 for receiving the workpiece 140. When a force in the positive direction of the z-axis is applied to the connecting portion 40, a restoring force in the negative direction of the z-axis is generated in the first elastic portion 31 and second elastic portion 32. As a result, when the workpiece 140 is inserted between the electrical contacts 42 and the main surface 11, the restoration of the first elastic portion 31 and second elastic portion 32 can cause the workpiece 140 to be sandwiched between the electrical contacts 42 and the main surface 11. This presses the electrical contacts 42 against the workpiece 140.

[0029] 2 and 3, the extension portion 50 extends from the connecting portion 40 toward the wall portion 20 between the first elastic portion 31 and the second elastic portion 32. The extension portion 50 has a first extension portion 51 and a second extension portion 52. As shown in Fig. 4, the first extension portion 51 extends from the connecting portion 40 toward the wall portion 20 between the first elastic portion 31 and the second elastic portion 32. Specifically, as shown in Fig. 4, the first extension portion 51 extends mainly in the positive direction of the x-axis.

[0030] The connecting portion 40 has a curved portion 43 on the opposite side to the first elastic portion 31 and the second elastic portion 32. The curved portion 43 curves toward the wall portion 20 at least between the first elastic portion 31 and the second elastic portion 32. The first extending portion 51 extends toward the wall portion 20 from the opposite side of the curved portion 43 to the first elastic portion 31 and the second elastic portion 32.

[0031] The connecting portion 40 has a second extending portion 52 that extends from the opposite side of the first extending portion 51 to the connecting portion 40 in a direction away from the base portion 10. As shown in Figure 4 and other figures, the first extending portion 51 extends mainly in the positive direction of the x-axis, while the second extending portion 52 extends mainly in the positive directions of the x-axis and the y-axis. In this way, at least a portion of the second extending portion 52 is located between the first elastic portion 31 and the second elastic portion 32 in the direction along the main surface 11.

[0032] 4 and other figures, the first extension portion 51 has a jig receiving portion 53 that abuts against a jig used to attach the clip-type connector 100 to the workpiece 140. The jig receiving portion 53 is a portion of the first extension portion 51 that is located near the second extension portion 52. The jig receiving portion 53 will be described later.

[0033] Fig. 5 is a perspective view showing a situation in which a jig 150 is applied to the clip-type connector 100. The jig 150 is used when attaching the clip-type connector 100 to a workpiece 140. Specifically, the jig 150 is used to widen the gap between the main surface 11 and the electrical contacts 42. Fig. 6 shows a cross section of the clip-type connector 100 and the jig 150 in the situation shown in Fig. 5. Fig. 7 is a cross section showing a situation in which the electrical contacts 42 have been lifted in the positive direction of the y-axis by the jig 150. Figs. 6 and 7 are cross sections taken at the same position as A-A in Fig. 3.

[0034] As shown in Fig. 5 and other drawings, the jig 150 is inserted between the first elastic portion 31 and the second elastic portion 32. For example, the jig 150 is inserted in a direction from the wall portion 20 toward the connecting portion 40. Specifically, as shown in Fig. 6 and other drawings, the jig 150 can be inserted in the negative x-axis direction.

[0035] 5 and 6 , between the first elastic portion 31 and the second elastic portion 32, the end portion 21 of the wall portion 20 on the side opposite to the base portion 10 is located lower than the first extension portion 51 with respect to the base portion 10. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 6 , the end portion 21 is located lower than the first extension portion 51 in the y-axis direction by H. Therefore, when the jig 150 is inserted in a direction from the wall portion 20 toward the connecting portion 40 (the negative direction of the x-axis), the jig 150 comes into contact with the jig receiving portion 53 of the second extension portion 52. When the jig 150 is further inserted in a direction toward the connecting portion 40, a force is applied from the jig 150 to the first extension portion 51 in a direction pushing the first extension portion 51 up in the positive direction of the y-axis. This force elastically deforms the first elastic portion 31 and the second elastic portion 32, pushing up the electrical contacts 42 in the positive direction of the y-axis. By inserting the jig 150 along the x-axis direction in this manner, the electrical contacts 42 can be lifted in the positive direction of the y-axis. This allows the gap between the electrical contacts 42 and the main surface 11 to be increased.

[0036] As described above, the second extension portion 52 extends in a direction toward the wall portion 20 and a direction away from the base portion 10. This allows the jig 150 to be guided in a direction toward the jig receiving portion 53, even if the insertion position of the jig 150 is slightly misaligned in the positive direction of the y axis. The insertion position of the jig 150 in the z axis direction is regulated by the first elastic portion 31 and the second elastic portion 32, and at least a portion of the second extension portion 52 is located between the first elastic portion 31 and the second elastic portion 32 in the direction along the z axis. Therefore, when the jig 150 is inserted, the jig 150 can be reliably abutted against the second extension portion 52.

[0037] 5 and 6 , between the first elastic portion 31 and the second elastic portion 32, the end of the first extension portion 51 on the wall portion 20 side is located closer to the wall portion 20 than the connecting portion 40. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 6 , the end of the first extension portion 51 on the wall portion 20 side is located closer to the wall portion 20 by a distance D in the x-axis direction than the end of the connecting portion 40 on the wall portion 20 side. This allows the connecting portion 40 to receive the jig 150, so that the jig 150 can be positioned in the insertion direction (the negative x-axis direction) before the jig 150 lifts the jig receiving portion 53. Therefore, before the jig 150 lifts the jig receiving portion 53, the jig 150 can be positioned at a position where the jig 150 can reliably lift the jig receiving portion 53.

[0038] 8 is a cross-sectional view showing the clip-type connector 100 attached to the workpiece 140 with the electrical contacts 42 lifted by the jig 150. Fig. 8 is a cross-sectional view taken at the same position as A-A in Fig. 3.

[0039] Electrodes 142 are provided on the workpiece 140. As shown in FIG. 8 , the clip-type connector 100 can be inserted into the workpiece 140 while the electrical contacts 42 are elevated relative to the main surface 11 by a jig 150. This prevents the electrical contacts 42 from exerting a strong force on the electrodes 142 or other parts of the workpiece 140 during insertion of the clip-type connector 100 into the workpiece 140. This prevents the electrical contacts 42 from abrading the electrodes 142 or other parts of the workpiece 140 due to a strong force, thereby preventing poor electrical connections and the like. In particular, when the electrodes 142 are formed by plating or printing, conventional clip-type connectors have a problem in that the electrical contacts apply force to the electrodes 142 during attachment, resulting in significant abrasion of the electrodes 142. In contrast, the clip-type connector 100 prevents abrasion of the electrodes 142, even when the electrodes 142 are formed by plating or printing.

[0040] 9 is a cross-sectional view showing the state in which the jig 150 has been removed from the clip-type connector 100 after the clip-type connector 100 has been attached to the workpiece 140. Fig. 9 is a cross-sectional view taken at the same position as AA in Fig. 3.

[0041] As shown in FIG. 9 , when clip-type connector 100 is attached to workpiece 140, end 21 of wall 20 opposite the base is positioned higher than the portion of base 10 where clip-type connector 100 is attached to workpiece 140. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 9 , end 21 is positioned a height h higher than the position of electrodes 142. This allows the height of jig 150 to be restricted when removing jig 150 from clip-type connector 100, thereby preventing strong force from being applied from jig 150 to electrodes 142 and other portions of workpiece 140. Furthermore, when inserting jig 150 into clip connector 100 to replace clip-type connector 100, strong force from jig 150 can be prevented from being applied to electrodes 142 and other portions of workpiece 140.

[0042] 10 is a cross-sectional view of a clip-type connector 200 that is a modified version of clip-type connector 100. Clip-type connector 200 differs from clip-type connector 100 in that the position and structure of the extension portion that abuts against jig 150 differs from extension portion 50 of clip-type connector 100. Of the components of clip-type connector 200, those that are the same as those of clip-type connector 100 are given the same reference numbers as the corresponding reference numbers given to the components of clip-type connector 100, and descriptions of those components will be omitted.

[0043] Fig. 10 is a cross-sectional view taken at a position corresponding to Fig. 4. Clip-type connector 200 has a connecting portion 240 and an extending portion 250 instead of connecting portion 40 and extending portion 50 of clip-type connector 100.

[0044] Connecting portion 240 has electrical contacts 242 having a shape corresponding to electrical contacts 42, and curved portion 241 having a shape corresponding to curved portion 41. Meanwhile, extension portion 50 of clip-type connector 100 has a structure that extends from the side of connecting portion 40 opposite first elastic portion 31 and second elastic portion 31 toward wall portion 20, whereas extension portion 250 of clip-type connector 200 extends between first elastic portion 31 and second elastic portion 32 from the side of connecting portion 40 facing first elastic portion 31 and second elastic portion 31 toward wall portion 20.

[0045] An opening 253 is formed in the extension 250. The opening 253 functions as a jig receiving portion that receives the jig 150 inserted in the negative x-axis direction. This allows the jig 150 to be used to lift the electrical contact 242 in the positive y-axis direction. Therefore, when the clip-type connector 200 is attached to the workpiece 140, the electrical contact 242 and the jig 150 can prevent a strong force from being applied to the electrode 142 and other parts of the workpiece 140 by the electrical contact 242 and the jig 150.

[0046] 11 is a perspective view showing a clip-type connector 300 according to the second embodiment. As described above, the clip-type connector 100 includes a first elastic portion 31, a second elastic portion 32, and an extension portion 50 between the first elastic portion 31 and the second elastic portion 32, whereas the clip-type connector 300 includes a single elastic portion 330 and extension portions 50a and 50b on either side of the elastic portion 330, which is different from the clip-type connector 100. Components of the clip-type connector 300 that are the same as those of the clip-type connector 100 are designated by the same reference numerals as the corresponding components of the clip-type connector 100, and descriptions of these components will be omitted.

[0047] The clip-type connector 300 includes a base 10, a wall 20, an elastic portion 330, a contact portion 340, extension portions 50a and 50b, a first crimped portion 101, and a second crimped portion 102. The elastic portion 330 is located on the wall 20 opposite the base 10. The contact portion 340 faces the main surface 11 and is located on the elastic portion 330 opposite the wall 20. The extension portion 50a is located on one side of the elastic portion 330 in the direction along the main surface 11 and extends from the contact portion 340 toward the wall 20. The extension portion 50b is located on the other side of the elastic portion 330 in the direction along the main surface 11 and extends from the contact portion 340 toward the wall 20. In this way, the clip-type connector 300 has extension portions located on both sides of the elastic portion 330 in the direction along the main surface 11 and extending from the contact portion 340 toward the wall portion 20 .

[0048] Figure 12 is a top view of clip-type connector 300. Figure 13 is a cross-sectional view of clip-type connector 300. Specifically, Figure 13 shows the cross-section B-B in Figure 12. Since extension portion 50b has the same structure as extension portion 50a, cross-sectional illustration and detailed description will be omitted.

[0049] The contact portion 340 has an electrical contact 342 at a position facing the main surface 11. The contact portion 340 has a curved portion 341. The electrical contact 342 is located near the apex of the curved portion 341. Specifically, the electrical contact 342 is located near the apex of the curved portion 341 in the y-axis direction.

[0050] As shown in Fig. 13 and other figures, the extension portion 50a extends from the contact portion 340 toward the wall portion 20. The extension portion 50a has a first extension portion 51a and a second extension portion 52a. As shown in Fig. 13 and other figures, the first extension portion 51a extends from the contact portion 340 toward the wall portion 20 on one side of the elastic portion 330. Specifically, as shown in Fig. 13 and other figures, the first extension portion 51a extends mainly in the positive direction of the x-axis.

[0051] The extension portion 50a has a second extension portion 52a that extends from the opposite side of the first extension portion 51a to the contact portion 340 in a direction away from the base portion 10. As shown in Fig. 13 etc., the first extension portion 51a extends mainly in the positive direction of the x-axis, whereas the second extension portion 52a extends mainly in the positive directions of the x-axis and the y-axis.

[0052] 13 and other figures, first extension portion 51a has a jig receiving portion 53a that abuts against jig 150 used to attach clip-type connector 300 to attachment workpiece 140. Jig receiving portion 53a is a portion of first extension portion 51a near second extension portion 52a.

[0053] 13, the shape of the B-B cross section of clip-type connector 300 is the same as the shape of the A-A cross section of clip-type connector 100. As a result, when clip-type connector 300 is attached to workpiece 140, clip-type connector 300 can also prevent strong force from being applied from electrical contact 342 and jig 150 to electrodes 142 and other parts of workpiece 140.

[0054] As described above, with clip-type connectors 100, 200, and 300, the clip-type connector can be attached to workpiece 140 without applying strong force from electrical contacts 342 and jig 150. Furthermore, with clip-type connectors 100, 200, and 300, the conductive member of the electric wire can be electrically connected to electrode 142 through first crimping portion 101. This eliminates the need to solder the conductive member of the electric wire to electrode 142. This eliminates the need to make workpiece 140 and electrode 142 heat-resistant. Furthermore, this also makes it easier to remove the electric wire from workpiece 140.

[0055] Although the present invention has been described above using embodiments, the technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the scope described in the above embodiments. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and improvements can be made to the above embodiments. It is clear from the claims that such modifications and improvements can also be included within the technical scope of the present invention.
