Waterproof connection structure, connection structure body, and partition member

A waterproof connection structure comprising:

• a plurality of connection terminals that are arranged in parallel in a width direction and connect a plurality of flat conductors of a flat cable formed by sandwiching the flat conductors in a sheet-like insulating covering, the flat conductor being arranged in parallel in the width direction, and conductors of a plurality of insulated wires each obtained by covering one of the conductors with an insulating covering;
• a partition member that includes:
• a plurality of insulating rod-like portions to partition the connection terminals in an insulating manner, adjacent insulating rod-like portions being separated by a predetermined distance, and
• a link that links the rod-like portions together only at a first end side of the rod-like portions that receives the flat conductors, the link extending less than a full length of the rod-like portions and being substantially half of a height of the rod-like portions;
• and
• a waterproof covering member that integrally covers the plurality of connection terminals partitioned by the partition member and the partition member, and has waterproofing properties, insulating properties, and stretching properties.

A partition member partitioning connection terminals in an insulating manner being disposed between a plurality of connection terminals that are arranged in parallel in a width direction and connect a plurality of flat conductors of a flat cable formed by sandwiching the flat conductors in a sheet-like insulating covering, the flat conductor being arranged in parallel in the width direction, and conductors of a plurality of insulated wires obtained by covering one of the conductors with an insulating covering, the partition member comprising:

• a plurality of insulating rod-like portions to partition the connection terminals, each of the rod-like portions having a rod shape and insulating properties, adjacent rod-like portions being separated by a predetermined distance;
• outer frame portions disposed on outer sides of the plurality of rod-like portions arranged in parallel;
• and
• a link that links the rod-like portions and the outer frame portions only on a first end side that receives the flat conductors, the link extending less than a full length of the rod-like portions and being substantially half of a height of the rod-like portions.
