  • Patent number: 8752286
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a wire harness including a plurality of wires and a connector with a housing. The method includes arranging the plurality of wires in an insertion hole of an airtight block of the housing to have a gap between the plurality of wires and an inner surface of the insertion hole, supplying a molten resin having a fluidity into the gap through a flow channel in communication with the gap, and solidifying the molten resin inside the space to resin-seal the gap between the insertion hole and the plurality of wires. The supplying of the molten resin is conducted such that a tool for melting a solid resin member is attached to the airtight block, the resin member is melted by applying an ultrasonic vibration while being pressed against the tool, and the molten resin obtained by the melting is poured into the flow channel.

  • Patent number: 8721921
    Abstract: To provide a liquid crystal polyester composition that yields compacts that are resistant to cracking. A plate-like filler with a volume-average particle size of 14 ?m or greater and a fibrous filler are combined with a liquid crystal polyester to form a liquid crystal polyester composition. The total content of the plate-like filler and the fibrous filler is 45-55 wt % with respect to the total of the liquid crystal polyester composition. The weight ratio of the fibrous filler content to the plate-like filler content is greater than 0.5 and not greater than 0.65.

  • Publication number: 20140065868
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a connector, which includes a male housing and a female housing. The male housing is formed of three side walls surrounding a circumference of a bottom wall and the female housing is formed of three side walls surrounding a circumference of a bottom wall. The male housing and the female housing are mateable with each other through mutual insertion. Practicing the connector of the present invention may reduce the wall thickness of the connector, making the connector thinner so as to enable use in a backlight module arrangement of relatively small space and provide module designing with more flexibility.
