Patent number: 9431745Abstract: A connector includes a plurality of terminals, a housing, and a retainer. The housing includes terminal housing chambers and partition portions. Each of the terminal housing chambers accommodates therein each of the plurality of terminals. Each of the partition portions is provided between adjacent terminal housing chambers and partition the adjacent terminal housing chambers from each other. The retainer is attached to the housing. The retainer is configured to prevent each of the terminals from falling out and to move between a temporary locking position and a proper locking position. The retainer includes communication cut portions. While the retainer is moving between the proper locking position and the temporary locking position, each of the communication cut portions is kept in contact with its corresponding partition portion and cut off communication between the adjacent terminal housing chambers.Type: GrantFiled: August 26, 2014Date of Patent: August 30, 2016Assignees: Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki Kaisha, Sumitomo Wiring Systems, Ltd.Inventors: Yosuke Kurono, Toshiki Muramatsu, Naomichi Kawashima

Patent number: 9425665Abstract: In a stator and a rotating electric machine equipped with this stator, the insulation properties of a coil are ensured by suppressing lead wire stress generated during a stator assembly process. The stator has a stator core, a coil wound around the stator core, lead wires led out from the coil, and power lines provided between the lead wires and a connection terminal of an external circuit. The lead wires and the power lines are electrically connected with each other through an elastically deformable elastic bus bar. Even if a shift occurs in the relative position between the coil and the connection terminal during the assembly process of the stator, this configuration allows the elastic bus bar to absorb the shift and makes it possible to suppress the stress generated on the lead wires.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2010Date of Patent: August 23, 2016Assignees: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHA, DENSO CORPORATIONInventors: Kazuhiro Goto, Yosuke Kurono, Tatsuhiko Mizutani, Kazuya Onuki
