  • 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.

  • Patent number: 8434767
    Abstract: A sealing unit with a mounting error preventing construction, includes a cylindrical member and an annular sealing member mounted in a circumferential groove formed on an outer circumference of the cylindrical member. At least two projections having different sizes are provided on the sealing member asymmetrically with respect to an axis of the sealing member and are projected in a direction in which the axis extends. Cutout portions for receiving the projections are provided on the cylindrical member.

  • Patent number: 7749025
    Abstract: There is provided a method of manufacturing a shielded connector which includes: a terminal-attached wire; a housing containing the terminal of the terminal-attached wire; a shielded shell integrated to the housing; a knitted conductor mounted to the wire; and a shield ring interposing the knitted conductor between the shield ring and the shielded shell so that the knitted conductor is electrically connected to the shielded shell. The method includes: inserting, into the shielded shell, a single core having a stepped portion formed in a opposed drawing direction; bringing a contact portion formed at the shielded shell into contact with the core; covering the shield ring on the shielded shell via the knitted conductor; and calking the shield ring, the knitted conductor, and the shielded shell from outer side of the shield ring to form, on the shielded shell, a calk-deformed portion contained into the stepped portion of the core.

  • Patent number: 7677911
    Abstract: A connector connection structure includes: a case having a side surface and a top surface, respectively extending in directions crossing each other at a first angle, and an opening; a connector terminal portion inserted into the case from the opening; a shield plate closing the opening; a bolt fastening the case and the shield plate; and a terminal block arranged in the case and connected to the connector terminal portion. The shield plate has a first portion extending along the side surface and closing the opening, a second portion extending along the top surface, and a bent portion positioned between the first portion and the second portion and bent at a second angle being smaller than the first angle. The bolt fastens the case and the second portion of the shield plate.
