A connector includes first terminals configured to be connected to first electric cables, a housing having terminal housing cylinder portions configured to contain the first terminals in parallel, terminal housing portions provided between the terminal housing cylinder portions, second terminals configured to be connected to second electric cables and to be contained in the terminal housing portions, and fasteners configured to fasten and fix terminal metal fittings connected to end portions of the first electric cables to the first terminals protruding from rear ends of the pair of terminal housing cylinder portions. By the fasteners, the terminal metal fittings are fixed to side faces of the first terminals from directions intersecting with axis directions of the first terminals, the side faces being opposite to faces of the first terminals which face each other.

Connector configured to be fitted into a counterpart connector

A connector includes a housing configured to be supported by an attachment object and a terminal configured to be supported by the housing, and the terminal is configured to be electrically connected to a counterpart terminal of a counterpart connector when the counterpart connector is fitted to the connector. The housing includes a body portion having an inner cylinder portion to which the terminal is assembled and to which a counterpart housing of the counterpart connector can be fitted and an attachment portion having an outer cylinder portion which is configured to be fixed to the attachment object and to which the inner cylinder portion is fitted. The body portion is assembled to the attachment portion in a state that the inner cylinder portion fitted to the outer cylinder portion penetrates the outer cylinder portion.

Charging inlet connector assembled to a vehicle body of a vehicle mounted with a battery

A connector includes a terminal configured to be connected to an electric cable, a housing configured to contain the terminal, a terminal holder configured to be attached to the housing, and has a housing space portion configured to contain a connection part between the terminal and an end portion of the electric cable, a sensor housing portion provided in the terminal holder adjacently to the housing space portion, and a temperature sensor configured to be contain and held in the sensor housing portion. The temperature sensor has an end face which is located on a front side in a mounting direction of the terminal holder into the housing. The end face of the temperature sensor is exposed from the sensor housing portion and is brought into directly abutment against the terminal.

Connector

In a terminal including: a terminal body that has a mating terminal contact part with which a mating terminal is brought into contact, and a sensor fixing part; and a thermistor fixed to the sensor fixing part, and a charging connector using the terminal, the sensor fixing part has a cylindrical shape in which the thermistor is inserted, the thermistor has a lock part, and is allowed to be inserted in the sensor fixing part by elastic deformation of the sensor fixing part, and at an insertion completion position, the lock part is locked to the sensor fixing part.

Terminal and charging connector

This connector () includes a connector housing () and a holder () which supports electric wires () connected to terminals () accommodated in the connector housing. The holder includes a first holder () which has a locking portion () and a thermistor accommodation portion () accommodating a thermistor (); and a second holder () which is provided with a locked portion () locked by the locking portion, and with an electric wire accommodation portion () that accommodates the electric wires. Through locking of the locked portion by the locking portion, the thermistor and the electric wires overlapped and mounted on the thermistor are nipped between the thermistor accommodation portion and the electric wire accommodation portion by the second holder ().

A connector terminal includes a terminal connection portion, a wire connection portion, and a flange portion. The connector housing includes a wire connection portion accommodation portion that can accommodate the wire connection potion and a terminal connection portion accommodation portion that can accommodate the terminal connection portion. A rear holder covers an opening of the connector housing, and a part of the wire connection portion is penetratingly inserted into a through-hole of the rear holder to form an accommodation space in which a pipe-shaped spacer or a spring, into which the wire connection portion is penetratingly inserted, can be disposed.

A waterproof structure of an electric parts-containing box includes a containing box body and a front cover which is mounted on the containing box body so as to cover a opening portion thereof. Either the containing box body or the front cover has a through hole. A water intrusion suppressing portion is formed on a face of either the containing box body or the front cover so as to suppress an intrusion of water which flows on the face into the through hole.
