Abstract: A connector includes a terminal fitting, a housing, a front holder to which an engagement part of the housing is inserted along an inserting direction of the engagement part with respect to a counterpart engagement part, and a water-stopping member with an annular shape that closes an annular space between a projection part from the front holder at an outer peripheral wall surface of the engagement part and an inner peripheral wall surface of the counterpart engagement part. The front holder includes a retained part that projects toward the outer peripheral wall surface of the engagement part. The water-stopping member includes a retained part that projects inward relative to an inner peripheral surface. The engagement part includes a communication retaining part where a first retaining part and a second retaining part are provided in a communicating state.

Abstract: A connector for device is configured to be attached to a device housing including a hole and configured to hold an electric wire inserted into the hole, and the connector for device includes a tube-shaped housing into which the electric wire is inserted and which is configured to be inserted into one end of the hole of the device housing, and a front holder configured to be engaged with one end of the tube-shaped housing, wherein the front holder includes an electric wire holding portion to which the electric wire is held, and a locking portion that is continuous with the electric wire holding portion and configured to be engaged with the tube-shaped housing, and wherein the electric wire holding portion is positioned inside the tube-shaped housing in a state where the locking portion is engaged with the tube-shaped housing.

Abstract: A connector includes a terminal fitting, a housing that houses the terminal fitting at a housing complete position, and a terminal retaining member that, at an assembling complete position to the housing, retains the terminal fitting remaining at the housing complete position. The terminal fitting includes a penetration hole. The terminal retaining member includes a retaining protrusion that is, at the assembling complete position, inserted into the penetration hole at the housing complete position, and retains the terminal fitting while the terminal fitting remains at that position. The penetration hole is formed to have a left-right asymmetric shape including a first hole part on the left side and a second hole part having a shape different from a shape of the first hole part and arranged on the right side of the first hole part.

Abstract: A waterproof connector that is easy to design and manufacture and that can provide sufficiently close contact with respect to a through hole including a tapered opening is provided. A sealing member that provides waterproofness of the waterproof connector includes an inner tube portion and an outer tube portion, and the connector body includes a holding projection. The holding projection is configured to be inserted between the inner tube portion and the outer tube portion from a rear side in an insertion direction and configured to push the outer tube portion against an inner circumferential face of the tapered opening when the sealing member is received between the outer circumferential face of the connector body and the inner circumferential face of the tapered opening.

Abstract: A connector for device that is downsized is provided. The connector for device is configured to be attached to a device housing including a hole and configured to hold an electric wire inserted into the hole, and the connector for device includes a tube-shaped housing into which the electric wire is inserted and which is configured to be inserted into one end of the hole of the device housing, and a front holder configured to be engaged with one end of the tube-shaped housing, wherein the front holder includes an electric wire holding portion to which the electric wire is held, and a locking portion that is continuous with the electric wire holding portion and configured to be engaged with the tube-shaped housing, and wherein the electric wire holding portion is positioned inside the tube-shaped housing in a state where the locking portion is engaged with the tube-shaped housing.

Abstract: A terminal crimping method includes covering an end portion of an electric wire with a fixing cylinder portion of a terminal including a flange portion which protrudes toward an outer periphery and which has at least one notch along a radial direction, caulking and crimping the fixing cylinder portion by a pair of dies including pressing projections, and caulking the fixing cylinder portion by the pressing projections to form crimp recess portions, in the caulking and crimping the fixing cylinder portion.

Abstract: A terminal crimping method includes covering an end portion of an electric wire with a fixing cylinder portion of a terminal, caulking and crimping the fixing cylinder portion by a pair of dies including pressing projections each having a flat shape in which a length in one axial direction is longer than a length in the other axial direction orthogonal to the one axial direction in a plan view, and caulking the fixing cylinder portion by the pressing projections to form crimp recess portions, in the caulking and crimping the fixing cylinder portion.
