Patent number: 9312646Abstract: A connector includes a first terminal housing that houses a first connecting terminal(s) and is attached to a device as an attached object thereof, and a second terminal housing that houses at least a portion of a cable(s) including a second connecting terminal(s) at an end portion thereof. The first connecting terminal(s) and the second connecting terminal(s) come into contact with each other and form a contact point(s) when the first terminal housing is fitted to the second terminal housing. The two terminal housings are fitted in a direction crossing an extending direction of the cable(s) that extends from the second terminal housing. The second terminal housing further includes a fixing means on a cable side with respect to the contact point(s) so as to fix a portion housing the cable(s) to the device or another member integrally fixed to the device.Type: GrantFiled: April 23, 2014Date of Patent: April 12, 2016Assignee: HITACHI METALS, LTD.Inventors: Tomoya Kuji, Sachio Suzuki, Jun Umetsu, Takanori Komuro, Shinya Hayashi, Takahiro Futatsumori

Patent number: 9306332Abstract: A connector includes a first terminal housing that houses a first connecting terminal, and a second terminal housing that houses at least a portion of a cable including a second connecting terminal at an end portion thereof. The first and second connecting terminals contact with each other and form a contact point when the first and second terminal housings are fitted each other. The two terminal housings are fitted in a direction intersecting with an extending direction of the cable. The first and second terminal housings include a first fitting portion and a second fitting portion, respectively. The connector further includes a fitted-state maintaining member that is configured so as to be fitted to both the first and second fitting portions by being slid along a direction perpendicular to the fitting direction of the two terminal housings after the two terminal housings are fitted to each other.Type: GrantFiled: April 23, 2014Date of Patent: April 5, 2016Assignee: HITACHI METALS, LTD.Inventors: Tomoya Kuji, Sachio Suzuki, Jun Umetsu, Takanori Komuro, Shinya Hayashi, Takahiro Futatsumori
