An unsaturated polyester resin composition includes: a resin component comprising an unsaturated polyester, a polymerizable monomer, and a low profile agent; aluminum hydroxide; and a fire retardant. The unsaturated polyester is a polymerized product of polybasic acid and polyhydric alcohol. The polybasic acid has an ethylenic unsaturated double bond at a predetermined ratio. The polyvinyl acetate is blended as a low profile agent relative to the resin component at a predetermined ratio. Aluminum hydroxide is blended relative to the resin component at a predetermined ratio.

Unsaturated polyester resin composition, molding material, molded article, and battery pack housing for electric vehicles

An unsaturated polyester resin composition contains an unsaturated polyester, a vinyl ester, a polymerizable monomer, and an aluminum hydroxide. The vinyl ester is a reaction product of an epoxy resin and an unsaturated monobasic acid. The vinyl ester is blended in a predetermined ratio to the unsaturated polyester. The aluminum hydroxide is blended in a predetermined ratio to the vinyl ester.

A connector includes a housing that has a terminal accommodating chambers into which terminals are inserted and a housing flexible piece for locking and preventing the terminals from coming off, a rear holder that includes terminal insertion openings and is mounted on the housing at a temporary locking position and a final locking position, the retainer part is disposed at a position just before the retainer is engaged with the housing flexible piece when the rear holder is at the temporary locking position, and the retainer part is disposed at a position where the retainer part restrains the locking release of the housing flexible piece when the rear holder is at the final locking position, and a rail part that is formed in the housing and restrains a movement of the retainer in an inclination direction of a mounting direction by slide contact to the retainer part.

Connector with locking wire holder

A connector includes a housing that has a plurality of terminal receiving chambers into which terminals are inserted and a rear holder that is mounted at the housing and supports a wire connected to the terminal received in each terminal receiving chamber. In the connector, the rear holder has a terminal holding part that holds each terminal at a predetermined position in an insertion direction of the rear holder into each terminal receiving chamber.

A connector includes a housing that has a plurality of terminal receiving chambers into which a terminal is inserted, each terminal receiving chamber being provided with a housing flexible piece for retaining and locking the terminal, and a rear holder that is mounted at the housing, abuts on the housing flexible piece and restrains locking release of the housing flexible piece. In the connector, the rear holder has a holder locking protrusion for retaining and locking the terminal in each terminal receiving chamber.

A terminal having a dissimilar material different from a contact base material, the dissimilar material arranged on a surface of a sliding contact portion on which a mating terminal slides includes a groove provided in the sliding contact portion in a direction different from a sliding direction of the mating terminal.

Terminal

A terminal includes an insulating leading-end insulation portion () that is fixed to a conductive terminal main body () and that protrudes in front of a leading end of a terminal contact portion (). The terminal contact portion () is formed in a cylindrical shape including a rod through-hole () penetrating in an axial direction, and the leading-end insulation portion () is formed as a part of an insulation member () including a penetrating rod portion () penetrating through the rod through-hole () and protruding to a back end side of the rod through-hole (); and the leading-end insulation portion () and the back end side of the penetrating rod portion () are respectively engaged with respect to the terminal main body () in a removal direction to thereby fix the insulation member () into the terminal main body ().

Conductive terminal with insulating leading-end

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.
