Latest Patents

Kudo’s recent patent work includes innovations in interlock connectors and busbar-based connectors.

“Connector and interlock connector” describes a connector with two connection terminals, two wires, a connector housing, a cover, and an interlock connector. The interlock connector uses first and second terminals, flexible wires, two housings, and a holder. The holder allows the housings to move within a plane, while extra-length portions of the flexible wires accommodate that movement. A fixing portion in the connector housing secures the holder.

“Connector” presents a design intended to simplify connector construction and improve terminal versatility. Each busbar has a device-side connecting portion at one end and a wire-side connecting portion at the other. A housing is molded around each busbar, leaving both connecting portions exposed. The device-side portions align along one direction, while the wire-side portions align along an orthogonal direction.
