Abstract
An electric connecting structure is provided, which includes an outer casing, at least two electrical connection terminals, at least two cables, and an electronic component. At least part of each electrical connection terminal is fixed in the outer casing. Each of the at least two cables has an end connected to the corresponding electrical connection terminal. The electric connection structure further includes at least one cable holder molded onto the at least two cables and mounted in the outer casing. The electronic component is connected between the ends of the at least two cables. The electric connection structure can simplify the wiring operations and consequently reduce the time and costs required for the wiring operations.
Claims20
An electric connecting structure, comprising:
- an outer casing;
- at least two electrical connection terminals supported by the outer casing;
- at least two cables, each of which having an end connected to a corresponding electrical connection terminal;
- and
- an electronic component;
- wherein the electric connecting structure further comprises at least one cable holder molded onto the at least two cables, the at least one cable holder is mounted in the outer casing, and the electronic component is connected between the ends of the at least two cables, and
- wherein the outer casing comprises a main lid and a main body coupled together, and the at least one cable holder is mounted to the main body;
- the main body comprises a through opening corresponding to an electrical connection area of the at least two cables and the at least two electrical connection terminals;
- and
- the outer casing further comprises a secondary lid which is coupled to a side of the main body opposite to the main lid to cover the through opening.
A manufacturing method for an electric connecting structure, comprising:
- providing at least two cables, each of which having an end;
- forming at least one cable holder integral with the at least two cables by injection molding;
- connecting an electronic component between the ends of the at least two cables, mounting the at least one cable holder to a main body of an outer casing with at least two electrical connection terminals, and connecting the ends of the at least two cables and corresponding electrical connection terminals, the main body having a through opening corresponding to an electrical connection area of the at least two cables and the at least two electrical connection terminals;
- and
- mounting a main lid and a secondary lid to opposite sides of the main body, the secondary main lid being corresponding to the through opening.
An electric connecting structure, comprising:
- an outer casing, comprising two opposite sides;
- at least two cables comprising two power cables;
- and
- an electronic component arranged inside the outer casing;
- wherein the electric connecting structure further comprises at least one cable holder at least molded onto the two power cables and mounted in the outer casing,
- each of the two power cables passes through the two opposite sides in turn,
- the electronic component is connected between the two power cables, and
- the outer casing comprises a lid and a main body coupled together, and the at least one cable holder is mounted in the main body.
