Abstract
A connector (1) includes connector terminals (2), an insertion portion (3) having the connector terminals (2) inserted therethrough, a first mounting portion 4A formed on a first side of the insertion portion (3), and a second mounting portion (4B) formed on a second side of the insertion portion (3). The second mounting portion (4B) is mounted on an outer periphery of a second female connector (5B) via a sealing member (41) for waterproofing. A first material constituting the first mounting portion (4A) and a second material constituting the second mounting portion (B) are different materials. The second material has higher adhesion to the sealing member (41) than the first material when being kept in contact with the sealing member (41) in a heated environment.
Claims14
A connector, comprising:
- connector terminals;
- a first component formed from a first synthetic resin material and including an insertion portion having opposite first and second sides and having the connector terminals inserted therethrough, the first component further having a first mounting portion projecting from the insertion portion, the first mounting portion having a tubular shape and surrounding first end parts of the connector terminals projecting from the first side of the insertion portion;
- and
- a second component having a second mounting portion connected to the first side of the insertion portion and formed from a second synthetic resin material, the second mounting portion having a tubular shape and surrounding second end parts of the connector terminals projecting from the second side of the insertion portion;
- the second mounting portion being mounted on an outer periphery of a female connector provided with conduction terminals to be conductively connected to the second end parts of the connector terminals via a sealing member for waterproofing;
- the first synthetic resin material constituting the first mounting portion and the second synthetic resin material constituting the second mounting portion being different materials;
- and
- the second synthetic resin material having an adhesion to the sealing member higher than the first synthetic resin material when being kept in contact with the sealing member in a heating environment.
A connector, comprising:
- connector terminals with opposite first and second end parts;
- a first component formed from a first synthetic resin material and including an insertion portion having opposite first and second sides and being molded into sealing engagement around parts of the connector terminals between the first and second end parts, the second side of the insertion portion including a penetration impeding recess surrounding the connector terminals, the first component further having a first mounting portion projecting from the insertion portion, the first mounting portion having a tubular shape and surrounding first end parts of the connector terminals projecting from the first side of the insertion portion;
- a penetration impeding member arranged in the penetration impeding recess and in sealing contact with the insertion portion and each of the connector terminals;
- a second component having a second mounting portion connected to the first side of the insertion portion and formed from a second synthetic resin material, the second mounting portion having a tubular shape and surrounding second end parts of the connector terminals projecting from the second side of the insertion portion;
- the second mounting portion being mounted on an outer periphery of a female connector provided with conduction terminals to be conductively connected to the second end parts of the connector terminals via a sealing member for waterproofing;
- the first synthetic resin material constituting the first mounting portion and the second synthetic resin material constituting the second mounting portion being different materials;
- and
- the second synthetic resin material having an adhesion to the sealing member higher than the first synthetic resin material when being kept in contact with the sealing member in a heating environment.
