Abstract
A self-locating connector comprising a first connector that houses male terminals or female terminals, a second connector that houses the female terminals or the male terminals, a support bracket that slidably supports the first connector, and a support bracket that slidably supports the second connector, in which one of the both connectors can be moved in substantially right and left directions when fitting the both connectors, the other one of the both connectors can be moved in substantially up and down directions, and thus an axial deviation between the both connectors is automatically adjusted.
Claims8
A self-locating connector, comprising:
- a first connector that houses male terminals or female terminals;
- a second connector that houses the female terminals or the male terminals;
- a support bracket that slidably supports said first connector;
- and
- a support bracket that slidably supports said second connector, wherein
- one of the both connectors are moved in substantially right and left directions when fitting the both connectors, the other one of the both connectors is moved in substantially up and down directions, and an axial deviation between the both connectors is automatically adjusted.
A self-locating connector, comprising:
- a first connector that houses male terminals or female terminals;
- a second connector that houses the female terminals or the male terminals;
- a support bracket fixed to an instrument module and that slidably supports said first connector;
- and
- a support bracket fixed to an automobile body and that slidably supports said second connector in a direction orthogonal to the movable direction of said first connector, wherein
- one of the both connectors are moved in approximate right and left directions when fitting the both connectors, the other one of the both connectors are moved in approximate up and down directions, and axis core shift between the both connectors are automatically adjusted.
