Abstract
In a multi-pole connector formed by combining a plurality of connector housings together, a bolt and a bolt receiving tube are provided at first connector housing, and a frame portion is formed on the second connector housing. The connector housings are combined together, with the frame portion and the bolt receiving tube superimposed together coaxially with each other, so that a bolt guide, formed on a mating multi-pole connector for connection to the multi-pole connector, can be inserted into the frame portion and the bolt receiving tube.
Claims8
A multi-pole connector comprising:
- a first connector housing including a bolt and a bolt receiving tube;
- and
- a second connector housing including a frame portion, in which the frame portion projects towards the first connector housing from a central portion of a side surface of the second connector housing,
- wherein the first and second connector housings are connected together so as to coaxially superimpose the frame portion on the bolt receiving tube so that a bolt guide formed on a mating multi-pole connector for connection to the multi-pole connector can be inserted into the frame portion and the bolt receiving tube.
A multi-pole connector comprising:
- a first connector housing including a bolt and a bolt receiving tube;
- and
- a second connector housing including a frame portion,
- wherein the first and second connector housings are connected together so as to coaxially superimpose the frame portion on the bolt receiving tube so that a bolt guide formed on a mating multi-pole connector for connection to the multi-pole connector can be inserted into the frame portion and the bolt receiving tube, and
- wherein a plurality of the second connector housings are connected to the first connector housing, and a frame portion of each of the plurality of the second connector housings is coaxially superimposed on the bolt receiving tube.
A method of assembling a multi-pole connector comprising a first connector housing including a bolt and a bolt receiving tube, and a second connector housing including a frame portion, the method comprising the steps of:
- connecting the first connector housing to the second connector housing so as to coaxially superimpose the frame portion, which projects towards the first connector housing, from a central portion of a side surface of the second connector housing, on the bolt receiving tube;
- and
- inserting a bolt guide formed on a mating multi-pole connector for connection to the multi-pole connector into the frame portion and the bolt receiving tube.
