Description

本発明は、基板と、オス端子と該オス端子を保持する保持部を有するオスコネクタと、基板を挿入するための開口部を有し、基板を内部空間に収容する筐体と、を備える防水型の車載電子制御装置に関するものである。 The present invention is waterproof with a board, a male connector having a male terminal and a holding part for holding the male terminal, and a housing having an opening for inserting the board and accommodating the board in the internal space. The present invention relates to a type of vehicle-mounted electronic control device.

従来、例えば特許文献１に示されるように、基板と、オス端子と該オス端子を保持する保持部を有するオスコネクタと、基板を挿入するための開口部を有し、基板を内部空間に収容する筐体と、を備える防水型の車載電子制御装置が知られている。 Conventionally, for example, as shown in Patent Document 1, a board, a male connector having a male terminal and a holding part for holding the male terminal, and an opening for inserting the board are accommodated in the internal space. There is known a waterproof in-vehicle electronic control device including a housing that performs the above-described operation.

特許文献１では、コネクタピン（オス端子）を保持するコネクタ本体（保持部）と筐体との間に防水シール材が介在されている。また、保持部の一部は筐体の開口部よりも外側に位置し、この外側に位置する部分に、相手側コネクタ（外部メスコネクタ）のハウジングとの嵌合部が設けられている。 In Patent Document 1, a waterproof seal material is interposed between a connector body (holding portion) that holds a connector pin (male terminal) and a housing. Moreover, a part of holding | maintenance part is located outside the opening part of a housing | casing, and the fitting part with the housing of the other party connector (external female connector) is provided in the part located in this outer side.

また、保持部が外部に露出する凹部を有しており、凹部の底面からオス端子が引き出されている。そして、凹部の側面と外部メスコネクタのハウジングとの対向部位にも防水シール材が配置される。 Moreover, the holding part has a concave part exposed to the outside, and the male terminal is drawn out from the bottom surface of the concave part. Further, a waterproof seal material is also disposed at a portion facing the side surface of the recess and the housing of the external female connector.

特開２００６−１００２５２号公報JP 2006-1000025 A

特許文献１に記載のように、防水型の従来の車載電子制御装置では、オスコネクタの保持部に、外部メスコネクタのハウジングが嵌合される構造となっている。また、保持部の凹部側面と外部メスコネクタのハウジングとの間がシールされる。すなわち、オスコネクタが、オス端子とメス端子との電気的な接続部以外に、保持部とハウジングとの機械的な接続部（嵌合部）を有している。このため、メス端子がオス端子に接続された状態で、外部メスコネクタから延びるハーネスの応力が、オス端子の基板へのはんだ付け部に作用し、接続信頼性が低下するという問題がある。 As described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. H10-228707, a waterproof conventional vehicle-mounted electronic control device has a structure in which a housing of an external female connector is fitted into a holding portion of a male connector. Further, the space between the concave side surface of the holding portion and the housing of the external female connector is sealed. That is, the male connector has a mechanical connection part (fitting part) between the holding part and the housing in addition to the electrical connection part between the male terminal and the female terminal. For this reason, in a state where the female terminal is connected to the male terminal, the stress of the harness extending from the external female connector acts on the soldered portion of the male terminal to the board, and there is a problem that connection reliability is lowered.

また、従来の車載電子制御装置によれば、メス端子がオス端子に接続された状態で、基板及びオス端子の一部が収容された筐体の内部空間と、オス端子の残りの部分が配置された凹部の空間を、ともに防水空間とすることができる。しかしながら、オス端子と基板をともに防水状態とするには、保持部と筐体との間、保持部と外部コネクタとの間の、２箇所をシールしなければならない。このため、部品点数、組み付け工数、コストの点で問題がある。 Moreover, according to the conventional vehicle-mounted electronic control device, the internal space of the housing in which a part of the board and the male terminal is accommodated and the remaining part of the male terminal are arranged in a state where the female terminal is connected to the male terminal. Both the spaces of the recessed portions thus made can be waterproofed spaces. However, in order to make both the male terminal and the substrate waterproof, two places between the holding part and the housing and between the holding part and the external connector must be sealed. For this reason, there are problems in terms of the number of parts, assembly man-hours, and cost.

本発明は上記問題点に鑑み、防水型の車載電子制御装置において、オス端子のはんだ付け部の接続信頼性を向上するとともに、構成を簡素化することを目的とする。 In view of the above problems, an object of the present invention is to improve the connection reliability of a soldered portion of a male terminal and simplify the configuration in a waterproof in-vehicle electronic control device.

上記目的を達成するために、開示された発明のひとつは、
基板（１２）と、
外部メスコネクタ（６０）と基板とを電気的に接続するオス端子（２０）と、該オス端子を保持する保持部（２２）と、を有し、オス端子が基板にはんだ付けされたオスコネクタ（１４）と、
基板を挿入するための開口部（２８）を有し、基板を内部空間（３０）に収容する筐体（１６）と、を備え、
保持部は、オス端子及び基板とともに内部空間に収容され、収容された状態で、筐体と嵌合する第１嵌合部（２４）を有し、
筐体は、内面（３２）に設けられ、保持部の第１嵌合部と嵌合する第２嵌合部（３４）と、外面（３６）に設けられ、オス端子に外部メスコネクタのメス端子（６２）が接続される際に、外部メスコネクタのハウジング（６４）と嵌合する第３嵌合部（３８）と、を有し、
オス端子にメス端子が接続された状態で、筐体とハウジングとの対向部分がシールされて、内部空間が防水空間とされることを特徴とする。 In order to achieve the above object, one of the disclosed inventions is:
A substrate (12);
A male connector having a male terminal (20) for electrically connecting the external female connector (60) and the board and a holding part (22) for holding the male terminal, wherein the male terminal is soldered to the board (14) and
A housing (16) having an opening (28) for inserting the substrate and accommodating the substrate in the internal space (30),
The holding part is housed in the internal space together with the male terminal and the substrate, and has a first fitting part (24) that fits into the housing in the housed state.
The housing is provided on the inner surface (32), provided on the second fitting portion (34) to be fitted with the first fitting portion of the holding portion, and on the outer surface (36), and the female terminal of the external female connector is provided on the male terminal. A third fitting portion (38) fitted to the housing (64) of the external female connector when the terminal (62) is connected;
In a state where the female terminal is connected to the male terminal, the facing portion between the housing and the housing is sealed, and the internal space is made a waterproof space.

本発明では、保持部（２２）を内部空間（３０）に収容して筐体（１６）と嵌合させ、筐体（１６）を外部メスコネクタ（６０）のハウジング（６４）と嵌合させるようにした。また、筐体（１６）とハウジング（６４）との間をシールすることで、内部空間（３０）のうち、オスコネクタ（１４）及び基板（１２）の収容された部分が、防水空間となるようにした。これにより、オスコネクタ（１４）は、オス端子（２０）とメス端子（６２）の電気的な接続部を除けば、外部メスコネクタ（６０）と機械的に接続されない。すなわち、メス端子（６２）に接続されたワイヤハーネスの応力が、オスコネクタ（１４）におけるオス端子（２０）のはんだ付け部に作用しがたくなる。したがって、オス端子（２０）のはんだ付け部の接続信頼性を向上することができる。 In the present invention, the holding portion (22) is accommodated in the internal space (30) and fitted into the housing (16), and the housing (16) is fitted into the housing (64) of the external female connector (60). I did it. Further, by sealing between the housing (16) and the housing (64), a portion of the internal space (30) in which the male connector (14) and the board (12) are accommodated becomes a waterproof space. I did it. Thereby, the male connector (14) is not mechanically connected to the external female connector (60) except for the electrical connection portion of the male terminal (20) and the female terminal (62). That is, the stress of the wire harness connected to the female terminal (62) hardly acts on the soldered portion of the male terminal (20) in the male connector (14). Therefore, the connection reliability of the soldering part of the male terminal (20) can be improved.

また、保持部（２２）を内部空間（３０）に配置し、内部空間（３０）のうち、オスコネクタ（１４）及び基板（１２）の収容された部分が防水空間となるように、筐体（１６）と外部メスコネクタ（６０）のハウジング（６４）との間をシールするようにした。このように、オス端子（２０）を含むオスコネクタ（１４）及び基板（１２）を防水状態とするのに、オスコネクタ（１４）と筐体（１６）との間をシールしなくても良い。したがって、防水状態を確保しつつ、構成を簡素化することができる。具体的には、部品点数の削減、組み付け工数の削減、製造コストの低減を図ることができる。 The housing (22) is disposed in the internal space (30), and the housing of the internal space (30) in which the male connector (14) and the board (12) are accommodated is a waterproof space. The space between (16) and the housing (64) of the external female connector (60) was sealed. Thus, in order to make the male connector (14) including the male terminal (20) and the board (12) waterproof, it is not necessary to seal between the male connector (14) and the housing (16). . Therefore, the structure can be simplified while ensuring a waterproof state. Specifically, it is possible to reduce the number of parts, the number of assembly steps, and the manufacturing cost.

また、開示された他の発明は、ハウジング（６４）の一部が内部空間（３０）に配置されて、オス端子（２０）にメス端子（６２）が接続され、
筐体（１６）の内面（３２）のうち、ハウジングと対向する部分の一部がシールされることを特徴とする。 In another disclosed invention, a part of the housing (64) is disposed in the internal space (30), and the female terminal (62) is connected to the male terminal (20).
Of the inner surface (32) of the housing (16), a part of the portion facing the housing is sealed.

このように、筐体（１６）の内面（３２）をシール部位とすると、搬送時等において、シール部位に傷がついたりするのを抑制することができる。したがって、内面（３２）以外の外面（３６）などをシール部位とする構成に較べて、シール性を向上することができる。 As described above, when the inner surface (32) of the housing (16) is used as a seal portion, it is possible to prevent the seal portion from being damaged during transportation or the like. Therefore, the sealing performance can be improved as compared with the configuration in which the outer surface (36) other than the inner surface (32) is used as the sealing portion.

基板１２は、樹脂などの絶縁材料からなる基材に、銅箔などからなる図示しない配線を配置してなる。本実施形態では、図６に示すように、基板１２が平面矩形の平板状をなしている。そして、配線は、基板１２のうち、厚み方向における一方の面である一面１２ａ及び一面１２ａと反対の裏面１２ｂの両面に配置されている。また、基材の内部に配置されている。 The substrate 12 is formed by arranging wiring (not shown) made of copper foil or the like on a base material made of an insulating material such as resin. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, the substrate 12 has a flat rectangular plate shape. And the wiring is arrange | positioned on both surfaces of the back surface 12b opposite to the one surface 12a which is one surface in the thickness direction among the board | substrates 12, and the one surface 12a.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 8, the second fitting portion 34 on the second wall portion 40 b side is provided in a portion that is not the thick portion 42 and is substantially flush with the thick portion 42. Specifically, by removing a portion of the thick portion 42 that is adjacent to the second fitting portion 34 in the width direction, the portion of the thick portion 42 sandwiched between the thin portions that are the removed portions is second fitted. The joint part 34 is used.

第３嵌合部３８は、図１，図２，図７〜図９に示すように、凸状をなしている。また、図２，図７、図８に示すように、凸状をなす第３嵌合部３８は、第１壁部４０ａ及び第２壁部４０ｂにおいて、開口部２８の周辺に設けられている。本実施形態では、第１壁部４０ａ側の第３嵌合部３８と第２壁部４０ｂ側の第３嵌合部３８とで、幅方向の位置がほぼ一致するように設けられている。また、３組の第３嵌合部３８が、幅方向において互いに離間して設けられている。詳しくは、側壁部４０ｄ側の第３嵌合部３８と、真ん中の第３嵌合部３８との間に、第２嵌合部３４が２つ（２組）配置され、側壁部４０ｅ側の第３嵌合部３８と、真ん中の第３嵌合部３８との間に、第２嵌合部３４が１つ（１組）配置されている。 The third fitting portion 38 has a convex shape as shown in FIGS. 1, 2, and 7 to 9.

基板押さえ部４４は、図３及び図９に示すように、袋形状をなす筐体１６の内面３２において、底面に形成されている。具体的には、基板押さえ部４４が、底壁部４０ｃの内面３２から開口部２８側に突出して設けられている。また、幅方向において、底壁部４０ｃの内面３２の中心付近に設けられている。この基板押さえ部４４は、筐体１６の内部空間３０に基板１２が収容された状態で、基板１２の一面１２ａに接触し、後述する溝部４８の壁面との間で、基板１２を厚み方向に挟持するようになっている。 As shown in FIGS. 3 and 9, the substrate pressing portion 44 is formed on the bottom surface of the inner surface 32 of the bag-shaped housing 16. Specifically, the substrate pressing portion 44 is provided so as to protrude from the inner surface 32 of the bottom wall portion 40c to the opening portion 28 side. Further, it is provided near the center of the inner surface 32 of the bottom wall portion 40c in the width direction. The substrate pressing portion 44 is in contact with the one surface 12a of the substrate 12 in a state where the substrate 12 is accommodated in the internal space 30 of the housing 16, and the substrate 12 is disposed in the thickness direction between the wall surface of the groove portion 48 described later. It is designed to be pinched.

受け部４６は、図１，図７〜図９に示すように、オスコネクタ１４の実装された基板１２が内部空間３０に収容された状態で、保持部２２の裏面２２ｂであって、少なくとも幅方向における両端部にそれぞれ接触するように設けられている。また、幅方向において保持部２２よりも外側の内部空間３０のうち、溝部４８を除く部分が、受け部４６によって閉塞されるように設けられている。すなわち、受け部４６は、保持部２２の裏面２２ｂに接触して、保持部２２よりも幅方向外側の空間を閉塞するように設けられている。 As shown in FIGS. 1 and 7 to 9, the receiving portion 46 is the back surface 22 b of the holding portion 22 in a state where the board 12 on which the male connector 14 is mounted is accommodated in the internal space 30, and has at least a width. It is provided so as to be in contact with both ends in the direction. Further, in the inner space 30 outside the holding portion 22 in the width direction, a portion excluding the groove portion 48 is provided to be closed by the receiving portion 46. That is, the receiving portion 46 is provided so as to contact the back surface 22 b of the holding portion 22 and close the space on the outer side in the width direction than the holding portion 22.

このような受け部４６は、第１嵌合部２４と第２嵌合部３４とが嵌合した状態で、保持部２２の裏面２２ｂに接触する支持面４６ａと、保持部２２よりも幅方向外側の空間を閉塞するように設けられた閉塞面４６ｂと、を有している。さらに本実施形態では、裏面２２ｂが支持面４６ａに接触した状態で、保持部２２の端面２２ｅ，２２ｆと対向する対向面４６ｃを有している。このように、受け部４６は、支持面４６ａと閉塞面４６ｂが、対向面４６ｃにより連結された段差形状をなしている。 Such a receiving portion 46 has a support surface 46 a that contacts the back surface 22 b of the holding portion 22 in the state in which the first fitting portion 24 and the second fitting portion 34 are fitted, and a width direction more than the holding portion 22. And a closing surface 46b provided to close the outer space. Furthermore, in this embodiment, it has the opposing surface 46c which opposes the end surfaces 22e and 22f of the holding | maintenance part 22 in the state which the back surface 22b contacted the support surface 46a. As described above, the receiving portion 46 has a stepped shape in which the support surface 46a and the closing surface 46b are connected by the facing surface 46c.

また、図７に示すように、第１壁部４０ａの内面３２にも、支持面４６ａを有する受け部４６が、幅方向に沿って設けられており、第１壁部４０ａに設けられた受け部４６の支持面４６ａにより、幅方向両側の受け部４６の支持面４６ａが連結されている。そして、全ての支持面４６ａは、ほぼ面一となっている。なお、図７及び図１０に示すように、第１壁部４０ａに設けられた第２嵌合部３４の端部が、挿入方向において支持面４６ａと一致している。 Further, as shown in FIG. 7, a receiving portion 46 having a support surface 46a is also provided along the width direction on the inner surface 32 of the first wall portion 40a, and the receiving portion provided on the first wall portion 40a. The support surfaces 46 a of the receiving portions 46 on both sides in the width direction are connected to each other by the support surfaces 46 a of the portions 46. All the support surfaces 46a are substantially flush. As shown in FIGS. 7 and 10, the end of the second fitting portion 34 provided on the first wall portion 40a coincides with the support surface 46a in the insertion direction.

溝部４８は、基板１２を内部空間３０の奥側に導くためのガイド機能を果たすものであり、基板１２の一面１２ａ、裏面１２ｂ、及び幅方向における端面と対向するコの字状の壁面を有している。この溝部４８は、筐体１６において、受け部４６にも設けられており、挿入方向において、受け部４６から底壁部４０ｃに向けて延設されている。具体的には、図１，図８，図９に示すように、受け部４６のうち、厚み方向において基板１２が配置される部分に、溝部４８が設けられている。 The groove portion 48 serves as a guide for guiding the substrate 12 to the back side of the internal space 30, and has a U-shaped wall surface facing the one surface 12 a, the back surface 12 b, and the end surface in the width direction of the substrate 12. doing. The groove portion 48 is also provided in the receiving portion 46 in the housing 16 and extends from the receiving portion 46 toward the bottom wall portion 40c in the insertion direction. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 1, 8, and 9, a groove portion 48 is provided in a portion of the receiving portion 46 where the substrate 12 is disposed in the thickness direction.

なお、本実施形態では、図８に示すように、筐体１６における受け部４６よりも底壁部４０ｃの部分の厚み（第１壁部４０ａと第２壁部４０ｂの外面間の距離）が、受け部４６より開口部２８側の部分の厚みよりも薄くなっている。また、図８に示すように、筐体１６の幅（側壁部４０ｄ，４０ｅの外面間の距離）は、厚み方向において溝部４８の設けられた部分（基板１２をガイドする部分）において、挿入方向でほぼ一定となっている。一方、溝部４８の設けられた部分よりも第１壁部４０ａ側の部分の幅は、受け部４６より開口部２８側において、溝部４８の設けられた部分とほぼ同、且つ、挿入方向でほぼ一定とされ、受け部４６よりも底壁部４０ｃ側において、受け部４６より開口部２８側よりも狭くなっている。このように、筐体１６は、挿入方向全長で一定の形状ではなく、保持部２２よりも底壁部４０ｃ側において、厚み及び幅が縮小されている。 In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8, the thickness of the bottom wall portion 40c (the distance between the outer surfaces of the first wall portion 40a and the second wall portion 40b) is larger than the receiving portion 46 in the housing 16. The thickness of the portion closer to the opening 28 than the receiving portion 46 is smaller. Further, as shown in FIG. 8, the width of the casing 16 (the distance between the outer surfaces of the side wall portions 40d and 40e) is the insertion direction in the portion where the groove portion 48 is provided in the thickness direction (the portion that guides the substrate 12). It is almost constant. On the other hand, the width of the portion closer to the first wall portion 40a than the portion where the groove portion 48 is provided is substantially the same as the portion where the groove portion 48 is provided on the opening 28 side of the receiving portion 46, and is substantially the same in the insertion direction. It is constant and is narrower on the bottom wall 40 c side than the receiving portion 46 and narrower than the opening portion 28 side on the receiving portion 46. Thus, the casing 16 is not a fixed shape in the entire length in the insertion direction, and the thickness and the width are reduced on the bottom wall portion 40c side with respect to the holding portion 22.

そして、基板１２が内部空間３０に収容された状態で、保持部２２の上面２２ｃと、第１壁部４０ａの内面３２における上面２２ｃとの対向部分とが略平行とされ、上面２２ｃと内面３２の間には、殆ど隙間が存在しないか、存在したとしても基板１２側に異物が通過しがたい程度となっている。また、基板１２が内部空間３０に収容された状態で、保持部２２の下面２２ｄと、第２壁部４０ｂの内面３２における下面２２ｄとの対向部分とが略平行とされ、下面２２ｄと内面３２の間には、殆ど隙間が存在しないか、存在したとしても基板１２側に異物が通過しがたい程度となっている。 In the state where the substrate 12 is accommodated in the internal space 30, the upper surface 22 c of the holding portion 22 and the portion of the inner surface 32 of the first wall portion 40 a facing the upper surface 22 c are substantially parallel, and the upper surface 22 c and the inner surface 32. There is almost no gap between them, and even if it exists, it is difficult for foreign matter to pass through to the substrate 12 side. Further, in a state in which the substrate 12 is accommodated in the internal space 30, the lower surface 22d of the holding portion 22 and the portion of the inner surface 32 of the second wall portion 40b facing the lower surface 22d are substantially parallel, and the lower surface 22d and the inner surface 32 are parallel. There is almost no gap between them, and even if it exists, it is difficult for foreign matter to pass through to the substrate 12 side.

次に、図１１及び図１２を用いて、外部メスコネクタ６０、及び、車載電子制御装置１０のオスコネクタ１４に外部メスコネクタ６０が嵌合された構造を説明する。なお、外部メスコネクタ６０は、従来周知のレバー式コネクタであるため、詳細な説明は割愛する。 Next, a structure in which the external female connector 60 is fitted to the external female connector 60 and the male connector 14 of the in-vehicle electronic control device 10 will be described with reference to FIGS. 11 and 12. The external female connector 60 is a conventionally well-known lever-type connector, and thus a detailed description is omitted.

外部メスコネクタ６０は、導電材料からなり、オス端子２０と電気的に接続されるメス端子６２と、ハウジング６４と、を備えている。また、ハウジング６４は、メス端子６２を保持する基部６６と、ワイヤカバー６８と、スライダ７０と、レバー７２と、を有している。 The external female connector 60 is made of a conductive material and includes a female terminal 62 that is electrically connected to the male terminal 20 and a housing 64. The housing 64 has a base 66 that holds the female terminal 62, a wire cover 68, a slider 70, and a lever 72.

基部６６は、挿入方向に貫通し、メス端子６２が挿入・配置される端子収容孔７４を有している。基部６６のうち、端子収容孔７４を有する部分の一部は、オスコネクタ１４との嵌合状態で、筐体１６の内部空間３０に配置される。また、基部６６は、内部空間３０に配置されない部分として、幅方向に沿って延び、スライダ７０を収容するスライダ収容溝７６を有している。 The base 66 has a terminal receiving hole 74 that penetrates in the insertion direction and into which the female terminal 62 is inserted and arranged. A part of the base 66 having the terminal receiving hole 74 is disposed in the internal space 30 of the housing 16 in a fitted state with the male connector 14. Further, the base 66 has a slider receiving groove 76 that extends along the width direction and receives the slider 70 as a portion that is not disposed in the internal space 30.

メス端子６２には、ワイヤハーネス７８が接続されており、基部６６から引き出されたワイヤハーネス７８は、ワイヤカバー６８によって被覆されている。そして、ワイヤハーネス７８は、束ねた状態で、ワイヤカバー６８の一部から外部に引き出されるようになっている。 A wire harness 78 is connected to the female terminal 62, and the wire harness 78 drawn out from the base 66 is covered with a wire cover 68. The wire harness 78 is pulled out from a part of the wire cover 68 in a bundled state.

スライダ７０は、平板状に形成され、幅方向に沿って延びている。このスライダ７０には、凸状の第３嵌合部３８と嵌合する第４嵌合部８０としての溝が形成されている。 The slider 70 is formed in a flat plate shape and extends along the width direction. The slider 70 is formed with a groove as a fourth fitting portion 80 that fits the convex third fitting portion 38.

このように構成される外部メスコネクタ６０では、レバー７２を回動させると、スライダ７０がレバー７２と連動して、スライダ収容溝７６に収容される方向にスライドする。そして、スライダ７０のスライド動作により、スライダ７０に設けられた第４嵌合部８０としての溝が、筐体１６に設けられた凸状の第３嵌合部３８を引き込んでいく。これにより、外部メスコネクタ６０とオスコネクタ１４との嵌合が完了する。すなわち、外部メスコネクタ６０のメス端子６２が、オスコネクタ１４のオス端子２０と電気的に接続される。 In the external female connector 60 configured as described above, when the lever 72 is rotated, the slider 70 is slid in the direction of being accommodated in the slider accommodating groove 76 in conjunction with the lever 72. Then, as the slider 70 slides, the groove as the fourth fitting portion 80 provided in the slider 70 draws the convex third fitting portion 38 provided in the housing 16. Thereby, fitting with the external female connector 60 and the male connector 14 is completed. That is, the female terminal 62 of the external female connector 60 is electrically connected to the male terminal 20 of the male connector 14.

さらに外部メスコネクタ６０は、防水部材８２を備えている。この防水部材８２は、ゴムなどを用いてリング状に形成されており、基部６６のうち、筐体１６の内部空間３０に配置される部分の外面に装着される。そして、外部メスコネクタ６０とオスコネクタ１４とが嵌合した状態で、防水部材８２は、内部空間３０に配置された基部６６の外面と筐体１６の内面３２と基部６６との間をシールする。これにより、防水部材８２（シール部位）よりも底壁部４０ｃ側の内部空間３０の部分に、水が浸入するのを防ぐことができる。 Further, the external female connector 60 includes a waterproof member 82. The waterproof member 82 is formed in a ring shape using rubber or the like, and is attached to the outer surface of a portion of the base 66 that is disposed in the internal space 30 of the housing 16. In a state where the external female connector 60 and the male connector 14 are fitted, the waterproof member 82 seals between the outer surface of the base 66 disposed in the internal space 30 and the inner surface 32 and the base 66 of the housing 16. . Thereby, it is possible to prevent water from entering the portion of the internal space 30 closer to the bottom wall portion 40c than the waterproof member 82 (seal part).

なお、基部６６におけるワイヤカバー６８側の端部にも、図示しない防水部材が配置され、防水部材がワイヤハーネス７８の外周面に密着するとともに、端子収容孔７４を閉塞している。これにより、端子収容孔７４を介してメス端子６２側に水が浸入するのを防ぐことができる。 A waterproof member (not shown) is also disposed at the end of the base 66 on the wire cover 68 side, and the waterproof member is in close contact with the outer peripheral surface of the wire harness 78 and closes the terminal accommodating hole 74. Thereby, water can be prevented from entering the female terminal 62 via the terminal accommodating hole 74.

次に、本実施形態に係る車載電子制御装置１０の特徴部分の作用効果について説明する。 Next, the effect of the characteristic part of the vehicle-mounted electronic control apparatus 10 which concerns on this embodiment is demonstrated.

先ず本実施形態では、オスコネクタ１４の保持部２２全体が、筐体１６の内部空間３０に収容され、保持部２２の第１嵌合部２４と、筐体１６の内面３２に設けた第２嵌合部３４が嵌合する。また、筐体１６の外面３６に設けた第３嵌合部３８と、外部メスコネクタ６０のハウジング６４（スライダ７０）に設けた第４嵌合部８０が嵌合する。すなわち、保持部２２を筐体１６に嵌合させ、筐体１６を外部メスコネクタ６０に嵌合させるようになっている。換言すれば、保持部２２を外部メスコネクタ６０に嵌合させないようにしている。さらに、筐体１６とハウジング６４の対向部分をシールすることで、内部空間３０のうち、オスコネクタ１４及び基板１２の収容された部分が、防水空間となるようにしている。 First, in the present embodiment, the entire holding portion 22 of the male connector 14 is accommodated in the internal space 30 of the housing 16, and the second fitting portion 24 of the holding portion 22 and the second inner surface 32 of the housing 16 are provided. The fitting part 34 is fitted. Further, the third fitting portion 38 provided on the outer surface 36 of the housing 16 and the fourth fitting portion 80 provided on the housing 64 (slider 70) of the external female connector 60 are fitted. That is, the holding portion 22 is fitted to the casing 16 and the casing 16 is fitted to the external female connector 60. In other words, the holding portion 22 is not fitted into the external female connector 60. Further, by sealing the facing portion of the housing 16 and the housing 64, the portion of the internal space 30 in which the male connector 14 and the substrate 12 are accommodated is a waterproof space.

このため、オスコネクタ１４は、オス端子２０とメス端子６２の電気的な接続部を除けば、外部メスコネクタ６０と機械的に接続されず、ワイヤハーネス７８の応力が、ハウジング６４から直接的に保持部２２に伝達されない。したがって、ワイヤハーネス７８の応力が、オス端子２０のはんだ付け部に作用しがたくなり、オス端子２０のはんだ付け部の接続信頼性を向上することができる。 For this reason, the male connector 14 is not mechanically connected to the external female connector 60 except for the electrical connection between the male terminal 20 and the female terminal 62, and the stress of the wire harness 78 is directly applied from the housing 64. It is not transmitted to the holding part 22. Therefore, the stress of the wire harness 78 is less likely to act on the soldered portion of the male terminal 20, and the connection reliability of the soldered portion of the male terminal 20 can be improved.

また、内部空間３０のうち、オスコネクタ１４及び基板１２の収容された部分が、防水空間となるように、筐体１６と外部メスコネクタ６０のハウジング６４と対向部部位がシールされるようになっている。換言すれば、保持部２２と筐体１６との間をシールせずとも、筐体１６とハウジング６４との間にシール部位を設けるだけで、オスコネクタ１４及び基板１２が防水状態となる。したがって、オスコネクタ１４（特にオス端子２０）及び基板１２の防水状態を確保しつつ、構成を簡素化することができる。具体的には、部品点数の削減、組み付け工数の削減、製造コストの低減を図ることができる。 Moreover, the housing | casing 16 and the housing 64 of the external female connector 60, and an opposing part site | part are sealed so that the part in which the male connector 14 and the board | substrate 12 were accommodated among the internal spaces 30 becomes a waterproof space. ing. In other words, the male connector 14 and the board 12 are waterproofed only by providing a seal portion between the housing 16 and the housing 64 without sealing between the holding portion 22 and the housing 16. Therefore, the configuration can be simplified while securing the waterproof state of the male connector 14 (particularly the male terminal 20) and the substrate 12. Specifically, it is possible to reduce the number of parts, the number of assembly steps, and the manufacturing cost.

以上により、本実施形態に係る防水型の車載電子制御装置１０によれば、オス端子２０のはんだ付け部の接続信頼性を向上するとともに、構成を簡素化することができる。 As described above, according to the waterproof in-vehicle electronic control device 10 according to the present embodiment, the connection reliability of the soldered portion of the male terminal 20 can be improved and the configuration can be simplified.

なお、本実施形態に係る防水型の車載電子制御装置１０は、上記した主たる効果に加えて、以下の効果をさらに奏することができる。 In addition to the main effects described above, the waterproof in-vehicle electronic control device 10 according to the present embodiment can further exhibit the following effects.

本実施形態では、外部メスコネクタ６０の嵌合状態で、ハウジング６４を構成する基部６６の一部が、筐体１６の内部空間３０に挿入配置され、基部６６と筐体１６の内面３２との間がシールされるようになっている。このように、筐体１６の内面３２をシール部位とすると、外面３６にシール部位を設ける場合に較べて、車載電子制御装置１０の搬送時等において、シール部位に傷がついたりするのを抑制することができる。したがって、シール性を向上することができる。 In the present embodiment, when the external female connector 60 is fitted, a part of the base 66 constituting the housing 64 is inserted and arranged in the internal space 30 of the housing 16, and the base 66 and the inner surface 32 of the housing 16 are arranged. The space is sealed. As described above, when the inner surface 32 of the housing 16 is used as the seal portion, it is possible to suppress the seal portion from being damaged during the transportation of the in-vehicle electronic control device 10 as compared with the case where the outer surface 36 is provided with the seal portion. can do. Therefore, sealing performance can be improved.

しかしながら、筐体１６の内面３２以外がシールされる構成を採用することもできる。例えば、筐体１６の外面３６のうち、開口部２８の周囲に位置する開口縁部と、ハウジング６４との対向部位がシールされて、オスコネクタ１４及び基板１２の収容された内部空間３０の部分が、防水空間とされる構成としても良い。また、開口縁部を除く外面３６の部分と、ハウジング６４との対向部位がシールされて、オスコネクタ１４及び基板１２の収容された内部空間３０の部分が、防水空間とされる構成としても良い。 However, it is also possible to adopt a configuration in which parts other than the inner surface 32 of the housing 16 are sealed. For example, a portion of the inner space 30 in which the male connector 14 and the substrate 12 are accommodated is sealed in the outer surface 36 of the housing 16 where the opening edge located around the opening 28 and the housing 64 are sealed. However, it may be configured as a waterproof space. Further, the portion of the outer surface 36 excluding the opening edge and the portion facing the housing 64 are sealed, and the portion of the internal space 30 in which the male connector 14 and the board 12 are accommodated may be a waterproof space. .

さらに本実施形態では、筐体１６が、壁部４０の１つに開口部２８を有する箱状をなしており、第２嵌合部３４と第３嵌合部３８は、同一の壁部４０に設けられている。すなわち、内面３２に第２嵌合部３４が設けられた壁部４０の外面３６に、第３嵌合部３８が設けられている。ここで、外部メスコネクタ６０のメス端子６２の位置は、第３嵌合部３８と第４嵌合部８０との嵌合位置を基準として決定される。また、オスコネクタ１４のオス端子２０の位置は、第１嵌合部２４と第２嵌合部３４との嵌合位置を基準として決定される。したがって、第２嵌合部３４と第３嵌合部３８を異なる壁部４０に設ける構成に較べて、オスコネクタ１４（オス端子２０）と外部メスコネクタ６０（メス端子６２）との相対的な位置の精度を向上することができる。これにより、オス端子２０とメス端子６２の接続信頼性を向上することができる。また、オスコネクタ１４と外部メスコネクタ６０とを位置精度よく嵌合することができるので、例えば嵌合時においてオス端子２０のはんだ接続部に作用する応力を低減することもできる。 Furthermore, in this embodiment, the housing | casing 16 has comprised the box shape which has the opening part 28 in one of the wall parts 40, and the 2nd fitting part 34 and the 3rd fitting part 38 are the same wall parts 40. Is provided. That is, the third fitting portion 38 is provided on the outer surface 36 of the wall portion 40 provided with the second fitting portion 34 on the inner surface 32. Here, the position of the female terminal 62 of the external female connector 60 is determined based on the fitting position of the third fitting part 38 and the fourth fitting part 80. Further, the position of the male terminal 20 of the male connector 14 is determined based on the fitting position of the first fitting part 24 and the second fitting part 34. Therefore, compared with the structure which provides the 2nd fitting part 34 and the 3rd fitting part 38 in the different wall part 40, relative of the male connector 14 (male terminal 20) and the external female connector 60 (female terminal 62). The position accuracy can be improved. Thereby, the connection reliability of the male terminal 20 and the female terminal 62 can be improved. Further, since the male connector 14 and the external female connector 60 can be fitted with high positional accuracy, for example, stress acting on the solder connection portion of the male terminal 20 during fitting can be reduced.

特に本実施形態では、開口部２８が、厚み方向よりも幅方向に長い長方形をなしており、箱状をなす筐体１６の壁部４０のうち、厚み方向において開口部２８を挟むように位置する第１壁部４０ａと第２壁部４０ｂに、第２嵌合部３４及び第３嵌合部３８がそれぞれ設けられている。開口部２８が厚み方向よりも幅方向に長いため、筐体１６は、幅方向よりも厚み方向のほうが変形量が小さい。したがって、オスコネクタ１４と外部メスコネクタ６０との相対的な位置の精度を、さらに向上することができる。すなわち、オス端子２０のはんだ接続部に作用する応力をさらに低減することができる。 In particular, in the present embodiment, the opening 28 has a rectangular shape that is longer in the width direction than the thickness direction, and is positioned so as to sandwich the opening 28 in the thickness direction among the wall portions 40 of the box-shaped housing 16. A second fitting portion 34 and a third fitting portion 38 are provided on the first wall portion 40a and the second wall portion 40b, respectively. Since the opening 28 is longer in the width direction than in the thickness direction, the housing 16 has a smaller deformation amount in the thickness direction than in the width direction. Therefore, the accuracy of the relative position between the male connector 14 and the external female connector 60 can be further improved. That is, the stress acting on the solder connection portion of the male terminal 20 can be further reduced.

しかしながら、筐体１６の形状としては、箱状に限定されるものではない。少なくとも基板１２を挿入可能に開口された袋形状であれば良い。また、第２嵌合部３４と第３嵌合部３８が、筐体１６の異なる壁部４０に設けられる構成としても良い。例えば第１壁部４０ａと第２壁部４０ｂに第３嵌合部３８が設けられ、側壁部４０ｄ，４０ｅに第２嵌合部３４が設けられる構成としても良い。また、側壁部４０ｄ，４０ｅに、第２嵌合部３４及び第３嵌合部３８がそれぞれ設けられる構成としても良い。 However, the shape of the housing 16 is not limited to a box shape. It may be a bag shape that is open so that at least the substrate 12 can be inserted. Further, the second fitting portion 34 and the third fitting portion 38 may be provided on different wall portions 40 of the housing 16. For example, the third fitting portion 38 may be provided on the first wall portion 40a and the second wall portion 40b, and the second fitting portion 34 may be provided on the side wall portions 40d and 40e. Moreover, it is good also as a structure by which the 2nd fitting part 34 and the 3rd fitting part 38 are each provided in the side wall parts 40d and 40e.

さらに本実施形態では、筐体１６が、第１嵌合部２４と第２嵌合部３４が嵌合した状態で、保持部２２の裏面２２ｂに接触する受け部４６を有している。これによれば、外部メスコネクタ６０の嵌合時に、受け部４６にて保持部２２を支持し、保持部２２が底壁部４０ｃ側に押されて、保持部２２の挿入方向の位置がずれるのを抑制することができる。したがって、保持部２２の位置がずれ、オス端子２０のはんだ付け部に応力が作用するのを抑制することができる。 Furthermore, in this embodiment, the housing | casing 16 has the receiving part 46 which contacts the back surface 22b of the holding | maintenance part 22 in the state which the 1st fitting part 24 and the 2nd fitting part 34 fitted. According to this, when the external female connector 60 is fitted, the holding portion 22 is supported by the receiving portion 46, and the holding portion 22 is pushed toward the bottom wall portion 40c, so that the position of the holding portion 22 in the insertion direction is shifted. Can be suppressed. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the position of the holding portion 22 from shifting and the stress from acting on the soldered portion of the male terminal 20.

特に本実施形態では、保持部２２の幅が基板１２よりも狭くされ、幅方向両側において、保持部２２よりも外側まで基板１２が配置されている。また、受け部４６は、保持部２２の裏面２２ｂのうち、少なくとも幅方向両端にそれぞれ接触するように設けられている。また、受け部４６には、基板１２を内部空間３０の奥側に導くための溝部４８が設けられている。そして、幅方向において保持部２２よりも外側の内部空間３０のうち、溝部４８を除く部分が、受け部４６によって閉塞されている。 In particular, in the present embodiment, the width of the holding portion 22 is narrower than that of the substrate 12, and the substrate 12 is disposed to the outside of the holding portion 22 on both sides in the width direction. Moreover, the receiving part 46 is provided so that it may contact at least the both ends of the width direction among the back surfaces 22b of the holding | maintenance part 22, respectively. Further, the receiving portion 46 is provided with a groove portion 48 for guiding the substrate 12 to the back side of the internal space 30. In the internal space 30 outside the holding portion 22 in the width direction, the portion excluding the groove portion 48 is closed by the receiving portion 46.

基板１２と保持部２２の幅が同等、又は、保持部２２のほうが幅が広い場合、一般的な搬送キャリアだと、保持部２２に搬送キャリアが接触し、基板１２に傾きが生じて、熱の当り方が変化したり、溶融はんだが流動してオス端子２０が浮いたりする。すなわち、オス端子２０のはんだ付け部の接続信頼性を確保できない虞がある。これに対し、上記したように、オスコネクタ１４の保持部２２よりも基板１２の方が幅が広い構成とすると、特別な搬送キャリアを用いなくても、リフローを行うことができる。また、受け部４６が異物に対するカバーとして機能するため、受け部４６よりも奥側への異物の侵入を抑制することができる。したがって、異物よけのカバーを不要とすることができる。 When the widths of the substrate 12 and the holding unit 22 are the same or the holding unit 22 is wider, if the carrier is a general carrier, the carrier is brought into contact with the holding unit 22, and the substrate 12 is tilted, resulting in heat The contact method changes, the molten solder flows, and the male terminal 20 floats. That is, the connection reliability of the soldered portion of the male terminal 20 may not be ensured. On the other hand, as described above, if the substrate 12 is wider than the holding portion 22 of the male connector 14, the reflow can be performed without using a special carrier. In addition, since the receiving portion 46 functions as a cover for the foreign matter, it is possible to suppress the intrusion of the foreign matter further to the back side than the receiving portion 46. Therefore, a cover for preventing foreign matter can be eliminated.

また、受け部４６は、段差形状をなしており、支持面４６ａ及び閉塞面４６ｂに加えて、保持部２２の両端面２２ｅ，２２ｆと対向する対向面４６ｃを有している。これによれば、対向面４６ｃを有さない構成に較べて、保持部２２の両端側に異物が溜まるのを抑制することができる。そして、蓄積により大型化した異物により、オス端子２０がショートするのを抑制することができる。 The receiving portion 46 has a stepped shape, and has a facing surface 46c that faces both end surfaces 22e and 22f of the holding portion 22 in addition to the support surface 46a and the closing surface 46b. According to this, compared with the structure which does not have the opposing surface 46c, it can suppress that a foreign material accumulates on the both ends of the holding | maintenance part 22. FIG. And it can suppress that the male terminal 20 short-circuits by the foreign material enlarged by accumulation | storage.

しかしながら、受け部４６を有さない筐体１６を採用することもできる。また、受け部４６の接触位置は、保持部２２の裏面２２ｂにおける幅方向両端に限定されるものではない。例えば受け部４６が、裏面２２ｂの幅方向中心付近に接触する構成としても良い。保持部２２の裏面２２ｂに接触して、保持部２２に支持する機能は有するものの、保持部２２の幅方向外側における異物の侵入防止機能を有さない受け部４６を採用することもできる。また、保持部２２の幅を、基板１２の幅と同等、若しくは基板１２よりも広い構成としても良い。 However, the housing 16 that does not have the receiving portion 46 may be employed. Further, the contact position of the receiving portion 46 is not limited to both ends in the width direction on the back surface 22 b of the holding portion 22. For example, the receiving portion 46 may be configured to contact the vicinity of the center in the width direction of the back surface 22b. A receiving portion 46 that has a function of contacting the back surface 22b of the holding portion 22 and supporting the holding portion 22 but not having a foreign matter intrusion prevention function on the outer side in the width direction of the holding portion 22 may be employed. In addition, the width of the holding portion 22 may be equal to the width of the substrate 12 or wider than the substrate 12.

さらに本実施形態では、第１嵌合部２４が凹状をなして挿入方向に延設され、第２嵌合部３４が凸状をなして挿入方向に延設されている。そして、第１嵌合部２４は、延設方向全長で幅が一定とされ、第２嵌合部３４は、開口部２８から遠ざかるほど幅が広くされている。したがって、基板１２を筐体１６に収容する際に、第１嵌合部２４を第２嵌合部３４に嵌合させやすい。また、第２嵌合部３４の幅が徐々に広がっており、底壁部４０ｃ側の端部の幅Ｗ２が、第１嵌合部２４の幅Ｗ１より広くなっている。したがって、基板１２の挿入にともなって、幅方向において第１嵌合部２４を第２嵌合部３４に接触させ、保持部２２、ひいては基板１２を、筐体１６に固定することができる。なお、厚み方向においては、基板押さえ部４４と溝部４８の壁面とにより、基板１２が筐体１６に固定される。また、第１嵌合部２４と第２嵌合部３４の嵌合により、挿入方向において、保持部２２（基板１２）を筐体１６に固定することができるため、筐体１６の開口部２８に別途カバー設けなくとも良い。 Further, in the present embodiment, the first fitting portion 24 has a concave shape and extends in the insertion direction, and the second fitting portion 34 has a convex shape and extends in the insertion direction. The first fitting portion 24 has a constant width over the entire length in the extending direction, and the second fitting portion 34 becomes wider as the distance from the opening 28 increases. Therefore, the first fitting portion 24 can be easily fitted to the second fitting portion 34 when the substrate 12 is accommodated in the housing 16. Further, the width of the second fitting portion 34 gradually increases, and the width W2 of the end portion on the bottom wall portion 40c side is wider than the width W1 of the first fitting portion 24. Therefore, with the insertion of the substrate 12, the first fitting portion 24 can be brought into contact with the second fitting portion 34 in the width direction, and the holding portion 22 and thus the substrate 12 can be fixed to the housing 16. In the thickness direction, the substrate 12 is fixed to the housing 16 by the substrate pressing portion 44 and the wall surface of the groove portion 48. Further, since the holding portion 22 (substrate 12) can be fixed to the housing 16 in the insertion direction by fitting the first fitting portion 24 and the second fitting portion 34, the opening portion 28 of the housing 16 is provided. There is no need to provide a separate cover.

しかしながら、凹状の第１嵌合部２４、凸状の第２嵌合部３４において、第２嵌合部３４の幅を一定とし、第１嵌合部２４の幅を開口部２８から遠ざかるほど広くしても同等の効果を奏することができる。また、第１嵌合部２４を凸状、第２嵌合部３４を凹状とした構成において、第１嵌合部２４及び第２嵌合部３４の一方の幅を一定とし、他方の幅を開口部２８から遠ざかるほど狭くしても良い。これによっても、開口部２８から遠ざかるほど凸状の幅を広くする構成と同等の効果を奏することができる。さらには、上記以外の嵌合構造、例えば突起が孔に嵌る構造、を採用することもできる。 However, in the concave first fitting portion 24 and the convex second fitting portion 34, the width of the second fitting portion 34 is constant, and the width of the first fitting portion 24 increases as the distance from the opening 28 increases. Even in this case, the same effect can be achieved. Further, in the configuration in which the first fitting portion 24 is convex and the second fitting portion 34 is concave, one width of the first fitting portion 24 and the second fitting portion 34 is constant, and the other width is set. The distance from the opening 28 may be reduced. Also by this, the effect equivalent to the structure which makes a convex width | variety wide as it distances from the opening part 28 can be show | played. Furthermore, a fitting structure other than the above, for example, a structure in which the protrusion fits into the hole can be adopted.

さらに本実施形態では、電子部品１８が、基板１２の一面１２ａ及び裏面１２ｂに実装されている。また、オス端子２０が、一面１２ａ側から基板１２を貫通して、基板１２の裏面１２ｂ側に突出している。そして、保持部２２は、基板１２に対して開口部２８側に配置されるとともに、厚み方向において基板１２を跨ぐように配置されている。これによれば、図２に示すように、裏面１２ｂ側にオス端子２０が突出する構成でありながら、保持部２２によって、基板１２の裏面１２ｂと筐体１６の内面との隙間に異物が侵入するのを抑制することができる。また、基板１２の裏面１２ｂに電子部品１８が配置された構成でありながら、保持部２２によって、基板１２の裏面１２ｂと筐体１６の内面との隙間に異物が侵入するのを抑制することができる。特に、受け部４６と組み合わせると、基板１２が配置された内部空間３０側への異物の侵入をより効果的に抑制することができる。 Furthermore, in this embodiment, the electronic component 18 is mounted on the one surface 12 a and the back surface 12 b of the substrate 12. Further, the male terminal 20 penetrates the substrate 12 from the one surface 12 a side and protrudes to the back surface 12 b side of the substrate 12. And the holding | maintenance part 22 is arrange | positioned so that the board | substrate 12 may be straddled in the thickness direction while it is arrange | positioned with respect to the board | substrate 12 at the opening part 28 side. According to this, as shown in FIG. 2, the male terminal 20 protrudes on the back surface 12 b side, but the holding portion 22 causes foreign matter to enter the gap between the back surface 12 b of the substrate 12 and the inner surface of the housing 16. Can be suppressed. In addition, while the electronic component 18 is disposed on the back surface 12 b of the substrate 12, the holding unit 22 can prevent foreign matter from entering the gap between the back surface 12 b of the substrate 12 and the inner surface of the housing 16. it can. In particular, when combined with the receiving portion 46, it is possible to more effectively suppress the entry of foreign matter into the internal space 30 where the substrate 12 is disposed.

なお、電子部品１８が、基板１２の一面１２ａのみに実装され、且つ、オス端子２０が裏面１２ｂ側に突出する構成においても、上記したように、厚み方向において基板１２を跨ぐように保持部２２を配置すると、保持部２２によって、基板１２の裏面１２ｂと筐体１６の内面との隙間に異物が侵入するのを抑制することができる。 Even in the configuration in which the electronic component 18 is mounted only on the one surface 12a of the substrate 12 and the male terminal 20 protrudes toward the back surface 12b, as described above, the holding portion 22 extends across the substrate 12 in the thickness direction. If it is arranged, the holding part 22 can prevent foreign matter from entering the gap between the back surface 12 b of the substrate 12 and the inner surface of the housing 16.

しかしながら、基板１２に対するオス端子２０の実装構造としては、基板１２を貫通する構造に限定されるものではない。例えば、オス端子２０のはんだ付け部が基板１２の一面１２ａに配置される表面実装構造を採用することもできる。そして、基板１２の裏面１２ｂ側にオス端子２０が突出せず、且つ、裏面１２ｂに電子部品１８も実装されない構造を採用することもできる。 However, the mounting structure of the male terminal 20 with respect to the substrate 12 is not limited to a structure that penetrates the substrate 12. For example, a surface mounting structure in which the soldering portion of the male terminal 20 is disposed on the one surface 12a of the substrate 12 may be employed. A structure in which the male terminal 20 does not protrude on the back surface 12b side of the substrate 12 and the electronic component 18 is not mounted on the back surface 12b can also be employed.

以上、本発明の好ましい実施形態について説明したが、本発明は上述した実施形態になんら制限されることなく、本発明の主旨を逸脱しない範囲において、種々変形して実施することが可能である。 The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described above. However, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

オス端子２０の本数、保持部２２に対する配置は上記例に限定されるものではない。 The number of male terminals 20 and the arrangement with respect to the holding portion 22 are not limited to the above example.

第１嵌合部２４及び第２嵌合部３４の個数、配置は上記例に限定されるものではない。また、第３嵌合部３８の個数、配置も上記例に限定されるものではない。 The number and arrangement of the first fitting portion 24 and the second fitting portion 34 are not limited to the above example. Further, the number and arrangement of the third fitting portions 38 are not limited to the above example.

保持部２２として、高背部２６を有さない構成を採用することもできる。 A configuration without the high-back portion 26 may be employed as the holding portion 22.

筐体１６として、厚肉部４２を有さず、内面３２の開口部２８周辺に段差を有さないものを採用することもできる。 As the housing 16, it is possible to adopt a housing that does not have the thick portion 42 and does not have a step around the opening portion 28 of the inner surface 32.

幅方向両側に設けられた受け部４６が、第１壁部４０ａに設けられた受け部４６により連結される構成を示したが、第１壁部４０ａに受け部４６を有さない構成を採用することもできる。 Although the configuration in which the receiving portions 46 provided on both sides in the width direction are connected by the receiving portions 46 provided on the first wall portion 40a is shown, a configuration in which the receiving portions 46 are not provided on the first wall portion 40a is adopted.
