Abstract
A connector includes ferrite cores (30A, 30B) with through holes (30H). A terminal fitting (20) has tab terminals (22A, 22B) inserted into the respective through holes (30H) to define input and output portions and a base (23) couples end parts of the respective tab terminals (22A, 22B) to each other. A connector housing (11) is molded to surround the ferrite cores (30A, 30B) and the terminal fitting (20) and is connectable to a mating connector housing. The ferrite cores (30A, 30B) include long sides LL and short sides SL. Clearances S are defined between side surfaces M located on the opposite short sides SL of the ferrite cores (30A, 30B) and facing surfaces of the connector housing (11), thereby separating the side surfaces M from the facing surfaces.
Claims6
A connector (10), comprising:
- at least one ferrite core (30A;
- 30B) including a plurality of through holes (30H), the ferrite core (30A;
- 30B) including long sides (LL) and short sides (SL),;
- a terminal fitting (20) formed with a plurality of tab terminals (22A;
- 22B) inserted into the respective through holes (30H) to define input and output portions, and a base (23) coupling the respective tab terminals (22A;
- 22B) to each other;
- and
- a housing (11) molded to partly surround the ferrite core (30A;
- 30B) and the terminal fitting (20) and connectable to a mating connector housing, clearances (S) being defined between side surfaces (M) of the housing (11) located on the opposite short side portions (SL) of the ferrite core (30A;
- 30B) and facing surfaces of the housing (11), thereby separating the side surfaces (M) from the facing surfaces.
