Abstract
A connector is provided with a cable retainer which has a thin plate extending in one direction, five main parts projecting from the thin plate so as to align along the extending direction, and caulking portions projecting from the main parts so as to cross at right angles in the extending direction of the main parts. The cable retainer clips cables between the caulking portions plastically deformed by caulking and the main parts.
Claims4
A connector, comprising:
- a conductive cable retainer that retains a plurality of cables;
- a supporter that supports the cable retainer;
- and
- a plurality of terminals that are supported by the supporter, wherein
- the plurality of terminals are joined with cores of the cables retained by the cable retainer, wherein the cable retainer includes:
- a thin plate extending in a first direction;
- a plurality of main parts that project from the thin plate in a direction substantially perpendicular to the first direction of the thin plate and along the plane of the first direction;
- and
- projections that project from the main parts in the first direction, wherein the projections, by being plastically deformed by caulking project substantially perpendicular to the direction of projection of the main parts and the first direction and, clip a plurality of cables disposed on the main parts, wherein the plurality of cables are along a longitudinal direction of the main parts.
