The invention provides a wire cover, a wiring method and an electrical connector that can ensure routing of wires even in a limited space. The connector includes a housing, a lever, and a wire cover. The lever is mounted to the housing, and the wire cover is mounted to a side of a back surface of the housing. The wire cover includes a cover body, a wire routing passageway, and a hood portion. The cover body includes a plurality of wire receiving passageways positioned in one direction, while the wire routing passageway is directed into an inside of the cover body. The hood portion protrudes from a circumference of the wire routing passageway and provides a leading direction out of the wire routing passageway. The hood portion extends in a direction other than a direction of extension from a front surface and the back surface of the cover body.

This application claims the benefit of the filing date under 35 U.S.C. §119 (a)-(d) of Japanese Patent Application No. 2010-169708, filed Jul. 28, 2010.
The invention relates to a wire cover that covers a plurality of wires, a wiring method, and an electrical connector.
In recent years, electrical connectors used in the field of automobiles have an increasing number of terminals. In an electrical connector having multiple terminals, multiple wires according to the number of terminals are positioned into a housing of the electrical connector.
The invention is described in more detail in the following with reference to the embodiments shown in the drawings. Similar or corresponding details in the Figures are provided with the same reference numerals. The invention will be described in detail with reference to the following figures of which:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a lever connector according to the invention;
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the lever connector shown from an angle different than that in FIG. 1;
Now, the present invention will be described in detail based on an embodiment shown in the accompanying drawings.
As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, a lever connector 1 includes a housing 10 that receives a plurality of terminals (not shown), a wire cover 20 mounted to a side of a back surface 10b (see FIG. 3) of the housing 10, and a lever 30 mounted to the housing 10.
In the embodiment shown, the housing 10 extends in one direction along a front surface 10a facing a connection object of the lever connector 1. In the housing 10, a plurality of terminal receiving passageways 11 are formed in one direction and in a plurality of columns passing through the housing 10 in a direction connecting the front surface 10a and the back surface 10b.
