Abstract
A connector includes: a plate-like terminal which is connected to an end of an electric wire; a rear connector in which the plate-like connector is accommodated; and a front connector in which a box-shaped female terminal that is connected to the plate-like terminal by being assembled to the rear connector and that is to be connected to a counterpart terminal of the electric device side is received. The plate-like terminal and the female terminal are connected by a connection terminal composed of a soft material capable of absorbing both positional displacement between the plate-like terminal and the female terminal and vibration of the plate-like terminal.
Claims4
A connector that connects an electric device for electric power control and an end of an electric wire, comprising:
- a rear connector including a plate-like terminal connected to the end of the electric wire, and a rear housing in which the plate-like terminal is accommodated;
- a front connector including a front housing in which a box-shaped female terminal that is connected to the plate-like terminal by being assembled to the rear connector and that is to be connected to a counterpart terminal of the electric device side is received;
- and
- a connection terminal that connects the plate-like terminal and the female terminal, the connection terminal being made of a soft material capable of absorbing positional shift between the plate-like terminal and the female terminal and vibration of the plate-like terminal.
The connector of 1, wherein:
- a molded waterproof part that prevents water intrusion from a periphery of the electric wire is integrally molded at least around the periphery of the electric wire, and
- the electric wire that includes the molded waterproof part is integrally molded with the rear housing.
