  • Patent number: 11831096
    Abstract: The connector includes a terminal and a resin housing that houses and retains the terminal. One or a plurality of grooves extend in a part of a region of a surface of the terminal. An inclination surface is formed near an opening of the groove. The groove is formed to have a part with a minimum width parallel to the surface of the terminal and a part with a maximum width parallel to the surface of the terminal. An angle formed by the inclination surface with respect to the surface of the terminal is between 100 degrees and 150 degrees. Moreover, a ratio of the minimum width of the groove with respect to the maximum width of the groove is equal to or greater than 0.58 and less than 1.0. The terminal is embedded and fixed in the resin forming the housing.

  • Publication number: 20220416463
    Abstract: A connector includes a plurality of terminals, a first member made from a first resin to cover a part of a surface of each of the plural terminals, and a second member made from a second resin to cover a part of the surface of each of the plural terminals and a surface of the first member on the side opposite to the respective terminals. The plural terminals each project to be exposed from the surface of the second member. The first resin has breaking energy of 2 J or greater in a transverse direction. The second resin has a comparative tracking index of 400 V or greater.

  • Patent number: 10998663
    Abstract: A liquid-proof connector includes a columnar terminal having a rectangular cross-sectional shape and a connector that includes a connector housing which is obtained through insert molding with the columnar terminal, is made of fiber-reinforced plastic in which fibers are oriented in a longitudinal direction of the columnar terminal, and has a terminal holding hole to which the columnar terminal is inserted and a fitting portion which fits to a counterpart terminal. An in-holding-hole insertion portion which is a portion being present within the terminal holding hole of the columnar terminal is fixed to the terminal holding hole in an airtight state by bringing a surface in close contact with an inner surface of the terminal holding hole. Tensile strength of the fiber-reinforced plastic in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction is 45 MPa or more.

  • Patent number: 10014622
    Abstract: A connector comprising a terminal that is connected to an electric wire, and a resin housing that houses and holds the terminal, wherein one groove or a plurality of grooves, each of which includes a directional component perpendicular to the lengthwise direction of the electric wire and has protrusions on the surface thereof, extends across a region of a portion of the surface of the terminal, and the terminal is embedded and secured within the resin that constitutes the housing in this portion including the region across which the groove extends. By employing this type of structure, the number of components can be reduced, and excellent bonding and airtightness is achieved between the terminal and the housing.
