  • Patent number: 11355887
    Abstract: A connector applied to a wire harness includes a housing housing a terminal, a front holder assembled to an end portion in an axial direction of the housing, and a restriction member assembled to the housing. One of the housing and the front holder has a latch claw portion that latches the housing and the front holder. The other of the housing and the front holder has a latch arm portion extending along the axial direction and latched to the latch claw portion. The restriction member has a restriction piece that is located adjacent to the latch arm portion that is in a state of being latched to the latch claw portion, the restriction piece restricting displacement of the latch arm portion toward a latch release side.

  • Patent number: 11322880
    Abstract: A packing mounting structure includes a casing having a passage part on a wall part facing a power detection terminal; packing including a seal part and an portion to be held; and a cover installed on the casing in a state in which the portion to be held is held by a hole part, and closing the passage part by the packing. The portion to be held includes a shaft part and a first flange part. The hole part includes a narrow part; an insertion hole part through which the first flange part is capable of passing; and a holding hole part configured to hold the shaft part in a state in which a gap is formed between the holding hole part and the shaft part.

  • Patent number: 11121501
    Abstract: A connector includes a housing member having a fitting part that houses a terminal and is fitted to a counterpart connector provided in a connection target and a fixed part that is fixed to a fixed wall surface of the connection target together with the fitting part in the state in which the fitting part has been fitted to the counterpart connector. The fixed part has through holes, which communicate with fastening holes formed in the fixed wall surface along a fitting direction between the fitting part and the counterpart connector and into which fastening bolts fastened to the fastening holes are inserted along the fitting direction, in the state in which the fitting part has been fitted to the counterpart connector, and a screw hole into which a separation member is screwed.

  • Patent number: 11005208
    Abstract: A connector applied to a wire harness includes: a housing main body including a housing space part for housing a terminal along an axial direction, and an insertion port provided at one side of the housing space part in the axial direction and into which a counterpart terminal connected to the terminal is inserted; a lance that faces the housing space part, that is elastically deformably supported by the housing main body in a cantilever manner, that extends toward the insertion port side along the axial direction, and that engages the terminal housed in the housing space part; and a regulating contact part that comes into contact with the lance and that regulates excessive displacement of the lance toward the housing space part side.
