Abstract

Provided is a connector capable of sufficiently preventing a foreign matter from entering from outside by preventing a decrease in compressibility of a filler. A connector (10) according to this disclosure is a connector configured to cut an insulating sheath of a cable by a press-contact groove. The connector includes: a pair of a first fitting object (16) and a second fitting object (30) capable of being fitted together; a contact (50) provided in the first fitting object (16) or the second fitting object (30) and having a press-contact groove; a wall portion (44) provided in at least one of the first fitting object (16) and the second fitting object (30) and opposing the contact (50) when the first fitting object (16) and the second fitting object (30) are fitted together; and a filler (70) provided in at least one of the first fitting object (16) and the second fitting object (30), wherein the wall portion (44) is clamped by the filler (70) and the contact (50) when the first fitting object (16) and the second fitting object (30) are fitted together.

Dependent claims

A connector configured to clamp a core wire of a cable by a press-contact groove, said connector comprising:

a pair of a first fitting object and a second fitting object capable of being fitted together;
a contact provided in said first fitting object or said second fitting object and having a press-contact member by which said press-contact groove is formed;
a wall portion provided in at least one of said first fitting object and said second fitting object and opposing said contact when said first fitting object and said second fitting object are fitted together;
and
a filler provided in at least one of said first fitting object and said second fitting object, wherein
when said first fitting object and said second fitting object are fitted together, said wall portion is opposite said press-contact member on both sides of said contact along a direction perpendicular to each of a fitting direction of said first fitting object and said second fitting object and an extending direction of said cable, and is sandwiched by said filler and said press-contact member on both sides of said contact along said direction perpendicular to each of said fitting direction and said extending direction.
