Abstract
A connector device includes: a motor-side connector 30 including motor-side terminals 31; an inverter-side connector 60 including inverter-side terminals 70; a motor case 10 including the motor-side connector 30; and an inverter case 50 including the inverter-side connector 60. The connectors 30, 60 are fitted to each other when the inverter case 50 is stacked on and coupled with the motor case 10. The motor-side connector 30 is fixedly mounted in the motor case 10 via a mounting hole 11 of the motor case 10. The inverter-side connector 60 is supported on the inverter case 50 while penetrating through a mounting hole 79of the inverter case 50 in a radially freely movable manner.
Claims4
A connector device comprising:
- a motor-side connector including a motor-side terminal;
- an inverter-side connector including an inverter-side terminal;
- a motor case including the motor-side connector;
- and
- an inverter case including the inverter-side connector,
- the motor-side connector and the inverter-side connector being fitted to each other when the inverter case is stacked on and coupled with the motor case,
- wherein:
- the motor-side connector is fixedly mounted in the motor case while penetrating through a mounting hole of the motor case;
- the inverter-side connector is supported on the inverter case while penetrating through a mounting hole of the inverter case in a radially freely movable manner;
- the inverter case has a stepped hole for receiving a flange circumferentially provided on an outer surface of the inverter-side connector in a radially freely movable manner, and a lock plate having a lock hole opened therein so as to be lockable on a peripheral edge of the flange is attached on a surface of the inverter case;
- and
- whereby the mounting hole supporting the inverter-side connector penetrating therethrough to be radially movable freely is formed.
