Abstract
In a connector, a flange portion is provided at an end portion of an electric wire fixing portion. A rib is provided on outer surface of the electric wire fixing portion. A biding band winding space is provided between an end of the rib and the flange portion. An interval therebetween has a width equal to a width of the binding band. The electric wire is fixed by the binding band wound on the binding band winding space. A band passing hole is formed between the end of the rib and the flange portion. A plurality of side ribs are symmetrically provided at both sides of the rib. The binding band is inserted through the band passing hole, in response to a volume of the electric wire or in response to a size of a radius of curvature of the electric wire led out from the connector housing.
Claims11
A connector, comprising:
- a connector housing, configured to accommodate a terminal connected to an end of an electric wire;
- a cover, attached to the connector housing, and configured to lead the electric wire from the connector housing to an outside;
- an electric wire fixing portion, provided at an electric wire leading port formed in the cover where the electric wire is led out;
- a flange portion, provided at an end portion of the electric wire fixing portion where the electric wire is pulled out from the connector housing;
- a rib, separate from a covering of the electric wire, provided on an outer surface of the electric wire fixing portion, extending in a longitudinal direction of the electric wire fixing portion at a center thereof;
- a binding band winding space, provided between an end of the rib and the flange portion, and interval therebetween having a width equal to a width of a binding band, wherein the electric wire is fixed by the binding band wound on the binding band winding space;
- a band passing hole, formed between the end of the rib and the flange portion, configured so that the binding band is inserted therethrough;
- and
- a plurality of side ribs, separate from the covering of the electric wire, symmetrically provided at both sides of the rib,
- wherein, when the electric wire is fixed in the electric wire fixing portion by the binding band, the binding band is inserted through the band passing hole, in response to a volume of the electric wire or in response to a size of a radius of curvature of the electric wire led out from the connector housing.

- a binding band winding space, provided between an end of the rib and the flange portion, and interval therebetween having a width equal to a width of a binding band, wherein the electric wire is fixed by the binding band wound on the binding band winding space;
- a band passing hole, formed between the end of the rib and the flange portion, configured so that the binding band is inserted therethrough;
- and
- a plurality of side ribs, separate from the covering of the electric wire, symmetrically provided at both sides of the rib,
- wherein, when the electric wire is fixed in the electric wire fixing portion by the binding band, the binding band is inserted through the band passing hole, in response to a volume of the electric wire or in response to a size of a radius of curvature of the electric wire led out from the connector housing, and
- the band passing hole is a slit provided at a center of the binding band winding space on a prolonged line of the rib, the slit extending in the longitudinal direction of the electric wire fixing portion.
