  • Publication number: 20210320453
    Abstract: A connector includes a housing and a seal member. The housing includes a groove portion and a protruding portion. The seal member is attached to the groove portion. The groove portion opens outward in a radial direction of the housing and has a bottom surface, a first side wall and a second side wall. The protruding portion extends from the second side wall toward the first side wall and has an end surface. The end surface has an inclined surface inclined such that an outer end of the inclined surface in the radial direction is closer to the first side wall than an inner end of the inclined surface. A first distance between the outer end and the bottom surface is greater than a second distance between the bottom surface and an outer end of a side surface of the seal member in the radial direction.

  • Publication number: 20210320452
    Abstract: A connector unit includes a first and second housings and a seal member. The second housing includes a groove portion and a protruding portion having an outer circumferential surface. The groove portion includes a bottom surface, a first side wall and a second side wall. The protruding portion extends from the second side wall toward the first side wall. The outer circumferential surface has an inclined surface inclined such that an end thereof is closer to the bottom surface than another end. When the first housing and the second housing are attached to each other, an end portion of the first housing face the outer circumferential surface. The seal member includes an engaging portion to engage with the protruding portion to prevent the seal member from moving in a circumferential direction with respect to the second housing.

  • Patent number: 10840628
    Abstract: A connector which can improve reliability of electrical connection is provided. Accommodation recesses are formed to a plate-like terminal member, and a coil member accommodated in the accommodation recesses is retained to the terminal member, thereby allowing wire winding portions of the coil member to be deformed within the accommodation recesses when the winding wire portions are sandwiched between bottom faces of the accommodation recesses and a mating terminal. Consequently, the obliquely wound coil member is not likely to experience deformation other than fall over of ring portions, and/or is not likely to be displaced, improving contact between the coil member and both of the terminal member and the mating terminal. As a result, reliability of electrical connection can be improved.
