Abstract:
A branch box (100) includes: a branch portion (21) branching a power path (205A) into at least two branch paths (206A, 207A); a fuse (60) located on at least one of the branch paths; a conductive member (33) connecting the branch portion and the branch path having the fuse; a first housing portion (11) receiving the fuse and closing its opening with a lid portion (81) to define a housing space; and a second housing portion (12) receiving the branch portion. The first housing portion is sealed with a first sealing material (85) filling a gap between the lid portion and the opening and is out of contact with the fuse. The second housing portion is sealed with a second sealing material (86) independent from the first sealing material. The conductive member passes through a partition wall (25) separating the first housing portion and the second housing portion.

A second connector housing connected to a first connector housing includes: a second housing body (31) including a cylinder portion (312) into which a body portion (212) is fitted; an axial groove (315a) formed by a cut in the cylinder portion (312) and allowing a connection pin (214) to enter therein, a circumferential groove (315b) arranged to extend circumferentially in the cylinder portion (312) from a distal end of the axial groove (315a), and allowing the connection pin (214) to move therein when the connector housings are operated and rotated relatively to each other; and a lock spring piece (316) formed integrally with the cylinder portion (312) to extend along the circumferential groove (315b), and restricting the connection pin (214) from moving in a return direction in a state in which the connection piece (214) arrives at distal end of the circumferential groove (315b).
Abstract:
In a terminal connection structure, a male terminal and a female terminal are mutually connected by being butted to each other. The male and female terminals are to be connected with respective ends of electric wires. The male terminal includes a male contact portion formed into a curved shape opening on a side opposite to the female terminal. The female terminal includes a female contact portion formed into a curved shape opening on the male terminal side, the curved shape being configured to contact with an outer circumferential surface of the male contact portion. The female contact portion includes contact pieces protruding toward the male contact portion.
Abstract:
A connector (11) includes a female terminal (13) having a terminal connection section (19) to which a mating male terminal (17) is electrically connected and a conductor connection section (23) and an electric insulating female-side housing (15) for holding the female terminal (13). The female terminal (13) includes a male terminal insertion/extraction opening (37) bored in the terminal connection section (19) and a plurality of spring contact pieces (41), the fixed-side ends (43) of which are fixed to the opening peripheral section of the male terminal insertion/extraction opening (37) and the free-side ends (45) of which elastically make contact with the male terminal (17) inserted into the male terminal insertion/extraction opening (37).
Abstract:
A connector includes connector terminals having an elastically deformable contact portion which contacts an apparatus-terminal of a connection counterpart apparatus, a housing to which the connector terminals are assembled, a rotating member which is rotatable with respect to the housing by an external manipulation, and a movable member which moves the housing toward the connection counterpart apparatus via a motion direction converting mechanism which converts a rotation motion of the rotating member into a linear motion. The motion direction converting mechanism includes at least one projection in one of the housing and the movable member and at least one linear groove which meshes with the projection in the other one of the housing and the movable member, wherein the projection and the linear groove are inclined with respect to a moving direction of the housing.
Abstract:
A terminal connection structure for an electric wire includes a first terminal having a first extension section extended from a first connection section in a nearly semi-cylindrical shape and connected to the first terminal member of a mating connection device to be connected to the electric wire and a second terminal having a second extension section extended from a second connection section in a nearly semi-cylindrical shape and connected to the second terminal member of the mating connection device to be connected to the electric wire, the first extension section and the second extension section being disposed coaxially so as to be opposed to each other and to form a nearly cylindrical shape.
Abstract:
A fixing bracket inserted into a cassette type insertion section of a male housing extends to the outside from an opening formed in a hood of a female housing under a state where the male connector is engaged with a female connector. A side face, a bottom face and a side face of the cassette type insertion section extending in the insertion direction of the male housing into the female housing come into face contact with inner faces provided for the hood, respectively.
Abstract:
An electric wire pinch structure of the invention includes a first flat plate including a first aperture into which an electric wire is to be inserted; a second flat plate including a second aperture into which the electric wire is to be inserted; a first stretched area that extends from a first side surface of the first aperture along a direction of insertion of the electric wire; and a second stretched area that extends from a second side surface of the second aperture in the direction of insertion of the electric wire, wherein the electric wire is pinched between the first stretched area and the second stretched area. The electric wire is pinched between the first stretched area and the second stretched area as a result of relative sliding taking place between the first flat plate and the second flat plate.
Abstract:
An outer conductor terminal for connecting an electric wire to an outer conductor, the electric wire including an internal conductor, an insulating cover covering an outer periphery of the internal conductor, an outer conductor having a twisted wire to wrap an outer periphery of the insulating cover, and a protective cover covering an outer periphery of the outer conductor includes a terminal part that is formed at one end portion of a flat plate, a cylindrical part that is formed at the other end portion of the flat plate by bending the other end of the flat plate and covers a part of the outer periphery of the insulating cover adjacent to an exposed portion of the outer conductor exposed by stripping the protective cover or a part of an outer periphery of the protective cover adjacent to the exposed portion.
