Abstract
A connector 1 includes a connector housing 50 connectable to a mating connector, female terminals 11 and L-shaped terminals 21 accommodated inside the connector housing 50 and made of a conductive material, and braided wires 31 connecting the female terminals 11 and the L-shaped terminals 21. The braided wire 31 is formed by braiding a plurality of strands 32, 33. The plurality of strands 32, 33 include conductor strands 32 made of a conductive material and high attenuation strands 33 made of a high damping material. The high damping material is a rubber, a resin or a high damping metal. The high damping metal is a damping alloy or a steel material.
Claims4
A connector to be connected to a device installed in a vehicle, comprising:
- a connector housing connectable to a mating connector;
- a first conductive member and a second conductive member accommodated inside the connector housing and made of a conductive material;
- and
- a braided wire formed by braiding strands, the braided wire connecting the first conductive member and the second conductive member;
- wherein:
- the strands include conductor strands made of a conductive material and high attenuation strands made of a high damping material and configured to reduce resonance of the braided wire due to vibration of the vehicle;
- and
- the high damping material is a rubber, a resin or a high damping metal.
