Abstract
It is aimed to reduce a size in an arrangement direction of a plurality of terminal groups. A connector (10) is provided with an inner module (11) including a plurality of terminal groups (22) each having a pair of terminals (60) to be respectively connected to a pair of conductive paths (71), and an outer housing (12) for accommodating the inner module (11). The inner module (11) includes an inner housing (21) integrally configured to support the plurality of terminal groups (22). The outer housing (12) includes one accommodation chamber (84) for accommodating the inner module (11).
Claims10
A connector, comprising:
- an inner module including a plurality of terminal groups each having a pair of terminals to be respectively connected to a pair of conductive paths;
- an outer housing for accommodating the inner module;
- and
- a retainer configured to restrict the inner module from coming out from the outer housing,
- the inner module including an inner housing integrally configured to support the plurality of terminal groups,
- the outer housing including one accommodation chamber for accommodating the inner module,
- wherein the inner housing includes:
- a pair of first supporting portions having slit-like openings for accommodating the terminals;
- and
- a second supporting portion for supporting the first supporting portions,
- the second supporting portion includes a plate portion for closing the openings by being sandwiched between the first supporting portions,
- the retainer includes a protrusion to be locked into a recess of one of the first supporting portions, and
- the one of the first supporting portions is disposed between the plate portion and the protrusion of the retainer.
A connector, comprising:
- an inner module including a plurality of terminal groups each having a pair of terminals to be respectively connected to a pair of conductive paths;
- and
- an outer housing for accommodating the inner module,
- the inner module including an inner housing integrally configured to support the plurality of terminal groups,
- the outer housing including one accommodation chamber for accommodating the inner module,
- a cable being configured by surrounding the pair of conductive paths by a sheath,
- the cable including a projecting portion that includes a crimp ring mounted on the sheath and projects further outwardly of the inner module than the terminals, and
- an opening for exposing the crimp ring of the projecting portion being provided in an outer surface of the inner housing.
