  • Patent number: 10418737
    Abstract: A terminal connection component including press-fit terminals and terminal metal-fittings. The press-fit terminals have a plate shape in which a taper is disposed at one tip, and the terminal metal-fittings also have a plate shape in which a fitting section is disposed at one end side. The fitting sections of the terminal metal-fittings have a first hole part and a second hole part from the one end in parallel. The tips of the press-fit terminals are press-fitted and are connected to the fitting sections of the terminal metal-fittings, and a portion between the first hole part and the second hole part of the fitting section, which serves as an elastic deformation section, is elastically deformed in a thickness direction of the press-fit terminal and biases the press-fit terminal so that the press-fit terminals are surely press-fitted to the fitting sections of the terminal metal-fittings.

  • Patent number: 10062983
    Abstract: A connector housing includes a hole having a minimum size that a lead section of a connector terminal to penetrate, and a guide wall which is formed along an outer peripheral of the hole, and is protruded in a direction which a lead section protrudes from the connector housing to a bending section of the lead section, wherein, by which inner walls of the guide wall is mutually and directly in contact with side surfaces of the lead section over a height near a top end side of the lead section in a bending section of the lead section from an outer peripheral of the hole, a sealing structure is formed from the bending section of the lead section to an interior of the connector housing.

  • Patent number: 9974178
    Abstract: Multipolar lead parts having plural leads and a retaining member, wherein the retaining member includes a cylindrical portion so as to cover peripheries of the leads, the cylindrical portion facing in a board direction; wherein the leads each include an upper-side board coupling portion and a lower-side board coupling portion; wherein the lower-side board coupling portion comprises a forward protruding portion that the other end side of each of the leads is bent in a direction orthogonal to an arrangement face of the leads, a vertical portion extending downward from a front end, a solder coupling portion extending backward from a lower end, and a rising portion extending upward from the solder coupling portion; and wherein said rising portion is formed as to have an obtuse angle from said solder coupling portion regardless of a bending angle of said vertical portion with respect to said solder coupling portion.

  • Patent number: 9184640
    Abstract: A motor controller and a production method thereof are provided to be capable of lowering the stress applied to joint parts of terminals and a board as much as possible, even if a thermal load or external force is applied to the connector, and in addition, capable of achieving a sufficient coupling strength when arranged in proximity to the electric motor. In the motor controller, there are provided: a first securing section (56a) and a second securing section (56b) configured to secure a connector (50) to the case (20) at an outer circumference of a connector housing (53) of the connector (50); and a positioning section (58) configured to position the connector (50) to the case (20), when the connector (50) is inserted into the connector receiving depression section (22a).

  • Patent number: 9099800
    Abstract: There is provided a connector capable of realizing simple assembly and prevention of entering of foreign matter. A connector terminal (56) includes an insertion part (56a) that has a terminal metal fitting to be electrically connected with an external connection terminal, and a pin (56d) fixed to the insertion part (56a) and has a bent shape. The connector terminal (56) is held by a connector housing (55). In this situation, the connector housing (55) has a hole (57) that has a size at which the pin (56a) can penetrate from a tip side, and a guide wall (57d) formed along an outer circumference of the hole (57) and projects in a direction in which the pin (56d) projects from the connector housing (55).
