Abstract
There are provided a connector and a mounting structure, the connector including: a terminal fitting; an electric wire connected to the terminal fitting; a housing that includes a fitting portion having a shape protruding in a fitting direction with a mating part and accommodating the terminal fitting, an outer wall portion defining an internal space in which the electric wire is routed, and a hollow convex portion formed by a part of the outer wall portion protruding outward to have a convex shape in the fitting direction; and a fuse that includes a fused portion accommodated in a hollow portion of the convex portion and is connected to the electric wire.
Claims3
A connector, comprising:
- a terminal fitting;
- an electric wire connected to the terminal fitting;
- a housing that includes a fitting portion having a shape protruding in a fitting direction with a mating part and accommodating the terminal fitting, an outer wall portion defining an internal space in which the electric wire is routed, and a convex portion formed by a part of the outer wall portion protruding outward to have a convex shape in the fitting direction;
- and
- a fuse that includes a fused portion accommodated in a hollow portion of the convex portion and is connected to the electric wire,
- wherein the housing includes an insertion portion through which the electric wire is inserted inside and outside the housing, at a position where the fitting portion is sandwiched between the convex portion and the insertion portion.
A mounting structure, comprising:
- a connector, and
- a mating part to which the connector is mounted,
- the connector comprising:
- a terminal fitting;
- an electric wire connected to the terminal fitting;
- a housing that includes a fitting portion having a shape protruding in a fitting direction with the mating part and accommodating the terminal fitting, an outer wall portion defining an internal space in which the electric wire is routed, and a convex portion formed by a part of the outer wall portion protruding outward to have a convex shape in the fitting direction;
- and
- a fuse that includes a fused portion accommodated in a hollow portion of the convex portion and is connected to the electric wire, wherein
- the mating part includes a fitted portion into which the fitting portion of the connector is fitted, and a concave portion recessed in a direction away from the connector such that the convex portion of the connector is fitted into the concave portion, and
- the connector is mounted to the mating part in a state where the fitting portion is fitted with the fitted portion and the convex portion is fitted in the concave portion.
