Abstract
A connector includes a connector main body 1 having a metallic electrical connecting portion 2, an inner molded portion 10a provided outside the connector main body and having a pair of protrusions 12 which are integrally formed on the opposite surfaces of the inner molded portion 10a, and an outer molded portion 20a provided outside the inner molded portion so that the protrusions 12 are partially exposed on the outer surface of the outer molded portion 20a. The pair of protrusions 12 protrude toward a pair of metal molds for molding the outer molding portion, respectively.
Claims2
A connector, comprising:
- a substantially L-shaped connector main body having a conductive cable and a metallic electrical connecting portion, the metallic electrical connecting portion having a predetermined width and extending in a predetermined direction;
- an inner molded portion provided outside the connector main body, and having opposite surfaces wherein the inner molded portion includes a positioning means comprised of a pair of elongated rib-shaped portions integrally formed on the opposite surfaces of the inner molded portion respectively in a symmetrical manner;
- and
- an outer molded portion provided outside the inner molded portion so that the pair of elongated rib-shaped portions is partially exposed on the outer surface of the outer molded portion wherein the elongated rib-shaped portions protrude toward a pair of metal molds for forming the outer molded portion, respectively, so that the metallic electrical connecting portion is positioned with respect to the outer molded portion without inclination by means of the rib-shaped portions when the outer molded portion is molded outside the inner molded portion using the pair of molds, and each of the elongated rib-shaped portions extending along a direction substantially perpendicular to the extending direction of the metallic electrical connecting portion and having substantially the same width as the width of the metallic electrical connecting portion;
- wherein each of the rib-shaped portions extends along the extending direction of the cable which extends from an end portion of the connector body.
