An attachment memberof a connection direction converting connectorincludes a frame-shaped second seal memberconfigured to seal between: a frame-shaped housing-side opposing surface-of the attachment housingthat surrounds the accommodation portion that contains a connection portion between an attachment terminaland a connector terminaland faces the shell; and a frame-shaped shell-side opposing surfaceof the shellthat faces the housing-side opposing surface-

Connection direction conversion connector and wire harness

A connector for a shielded electric wire includes: a shield terminal connected to a braid on one end side thereof and grounding the braid by contact at a leaf spring on the other end side thereof; a first packing (sealing member) that seals between a housing and an object inserted into a through hole from an inner surface of the housing to an inner surface of the through hole; and a support member that is a resin ring exteriorly mounted on the shield terminal to be adjacent to the leaf spring and disposed inside the through hole in such a manner that an outer circumferential edge thereof is in contact with the inner surface of the through hole, thereby suppressing an offset of a central axis of the shield terminal with respect to a central axis of the through hole.

Connector for shielded electric wire, and wire harness

Provided is a charging connector () including a terminal (), a housing () which is formed with a lance () which prevents the terminal () in a terminal receiving chamberfrom slipping, a front holder () which abuts on the lance () which prevents slipping of the terminal () so as to regulate an engagement release of the lance (), and a thermistor element () which is pressed and biased by the front holder () to be brought into close contact with the terminal () directly or through a molding resin material.

Terminal and charging connector with temperature measurement

A connector includes: a terminal to be connected to a mating terminal by a relative movement between the terminal and the mating terminal; a connector housing supporting the terminal; and a terminal displacement portion displaceably supporting the terminal in a direction orthogonal to a direction of the relative movement between the terminal and the mating terminal.

Connector

A charging inlet device () includes: an inlet housing () fixed to a vehicle body panel (P) with a charging port (A) open towards an outer side of a vehicle body; a terminal () arranged in the charging port (A); and a rear connector () mounted to the inlet housing () on an opposite side from the charging port (A) and having a wire lead-out terminal () connecting the terminal () and an electrical wire (W) routed through the vehicle body.

Charging inlet device

A male terminal () includes a terminal body () and an insulating member (). The terminal body () includes a cylindrical terminal contact portion () provided with a penetration hole () extending in the axial direction. The insulating member () includes a tip insulating portion () projecting forward from the tip of the terminal contact portion (), a terminal holding portion () disposed on the rear side of the terminal contact portion () to hold the terminal body (), and a communicating resin portion () disposed in the penetration hole () to connect the tip insulating portion () and the terminal holding portion ().

Terminal and terminal manufacturing method

A terminal spacer having a cylindrical shape is attached to the circumference of an electric wire connected to a charge terminal. The terminal spacer includes a slit portion extending across the entire length in the axial direction of the terminal spacer. The slit portion includes an electric wire insertion slit portion into which the electric wire can be inserted, and a narrow slit portion continuously extending from the electric wire insertion slit portion and having an opening width narrower than that of the electric wire insertion slit portion.

Terminal spacer

A charging connector includes a connector housing to be fitted to a power receiving connector, a connector case housing the connector housing, a lock arm arranged to be swingable about a swing fulcrum between a lock position and a release position, and a coil spring located toward a power receiving connector away from the swing fulcrum to bias the lock arm toward the lock position. The lock arm is provided with a spring compartment housing the coil spring in a manner such that the periphery of the coil spring is enclosed. The spring compartment is provided, on a bottom portion thereof, with a penetration hole extending in the lock arm.

Charging connector

A drainage inducing member that promotes drainage is arranged on an edge portion on the back side of a drain hole provided in an inlet base of an inlet assembly, in order to better promote the drainage of water that has reached the drain hole to the outside.
