Abstract
An electrical apparatus includes an electrical connector having a plurality of terminals and a connector housing retaining the terminals, a case containing the electrical connector, a circuit board electrically connected with the terminals, and an entrapping structure corresponding to at least a portion of a gap between the connector housing and the case. The entrapping structure has a dead end with an opening facing the gap.
Claims20
An electrical apparatus, comprising:
- an electrical connector having a plurality of terminals and a connector housing retaining the terminals, the connector housing including a mating sleeve with a first upper wall and a first lower wall disposed at a predetermined distance in a height direction of the connector housing, and a pair of first side walls, the first upper wall and the first lower wall are connected only by the pair of first side walls;
- a case containing the electrical connector;
- a circuit board electrically connected with the terminals and arranged parallel to the first upper wall and the first lower wall;
- and
- an entrapping structure corresponding to at least a portion of a gap between the connector housing and the case, the entrapping structure including:
- a second lower wall protruding outward in a width direction of the connector housing from one of the first side walls;
- a second side wall extending from an outer end of the second lower wall in a vertical direction;
- a rear wall connecting a rear end of the second lower wall and a rear end of the second side wall;
- and
- a dead end with an opening facing the gap.
