  • Patent number: 9407081
    Abstract: In a wiring harness, a plurality of terminals are mounted on end parts of a plurality of wires to touch strands of the wires. A connector set includes a first connector in which the plurality of terminals are inserted and a second connector to be connected to the first connector. The strands of the plurality of wires and the plurality of terminals are made of mutually different metals. A busbar for shorting the plurality of terminals by being connected to the plurality of terminals inserted in the first connector when the first connector is connected to the second connector is provided in the second connector. A covering member covers the connector set.

  • Patent number: 9270101
    Abstract: A protector for covering a wire harness is simplified and is enabled to be used commonly with other types of vehicles. Provided is an outer cover structure for a wire harness that is routed from a front portion of a vehicle interior toward a vehicle rear portion along an upper surface side of a sill side panel, only a narrow region of a floor harness from a position where a kicking plate is arranged to a rear tire house being covered with a protector that is small-sized, the narrow region corresponding to a rear end of the kicking plate, the protector having a shape of a small rectangular box with a shallow bottom, including only one clip for fixation that is provided projecting, and being used commonly with other types of vehicles.

  • Patent number: 9039466
    Abstract: A crimp terminal (10) has a connecting portion (12) that is conductively connected to an electrical connection target, a crimp portion (14) that is fixed by crimping to a core (58) of a coated wire (56), and a link (16) extending between the connecting portion (12) and the crimp portion (14). The crimp portion (14) has a placement portion (36) on which the core (58) of the coated wire (56) is placed, and a core crimping portion (38) protruding from opposite edges of the placement portion (36). Extended portions (48) are provided on ends of the core crimping portions (38) toward the link (16) and at least one engaging corner (52) is formed on an upper end surface (50) of each of the extended portions (48).

  • Patent number: 8951063
    Abstract: A crimp terminal (10) has a connecting portion (12) that is conductively connected to an electrical connection target, a crimp portion (14) that has a core crimping portion (22) that is fixed by crimping to a core (38) of a coated wire (32), and a link (16) that extends between the connecting portion (12) and the crimp portion (14), a positioning protrusion (30) is formed by a pair of slits (26) penetrating through the link (16) and extending in a direction along which the link (16) so as to be separated from each other in a width direction orthogonal to the extension direction. An intermediate region (28) sandwiched between the slits (26) in the width direction is deformed to protrude on a side on which the core crimping portion (22) protrudes.

  • Patent number: 5649626
    Abstract: A protector for carrying a flat wire harness with a flat wire part and connectors, includes a bottom porion and a rim porion around the bottom portion. The bottom member is provided for positioning and holding the flat wire harness such that the flat wire apart is stretched and the connectors are fit in recesses formed in the bottom portion. The rim portion extends upward and radially outward from the bottom portion for enabling plural protectors to be stacked vertically with a flat wire harness stored in each bottom portion.
