Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to a connector used for supplying electricity and a combination of an electric wire and a holder incorporated in the connector.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally known is a connector that includes a pair of electric wires having terminals attached to the ends thereof, a holder that holds the terminals of the pair of electric wires, and a cover that covers the electric wires and the holder.

In such a connector, the terminals attached to the pair of electric wires are mounted in the pair of storage spaces of the holding body.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 The terminals attached to the pair of electric wires as described above are mounted in the pair of storage spaces of the holding body. In this case, each storage space of the holding body is open at both ends, and the terminal is inserted from one end opened in the storage space of the holding body. However, the terminals attached to a pair of wires are inserted one by one into the storage space of the holder, but after inserting the terminals of one wire into one storage space, the terminals of the other wire are inserted into the other. When inserting into the storage space of the other, it is necessary to bend the other wire and insert it. In this case, since the other wire is bent, it is necessary to give the wire a bent portion, and the length of the pair of wires must be unnecessarily lengthened.

The present invention has been made in consideration of the above point, and a set of an electric wire and a holding body that allows the terminals attached to the pair of electric wires to be easily mounted in the storage space of the holding body. The purpose is to provide a combination and a connector.

[0006]

According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a pair of electric wires each having a terminal attached to a tip thereof, and a holder having a pair of storage spaces for storing the pair of terminals. In the combination of the electric wire and the holding body, each storage space of the holding body is opened at the side to communicate with the atmosphere, and the tip of the electric wire can be mounted in the storage space from each side opening. is there.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, there is provided a connector including the combination of the electric wire and the holding body according to the first or second aspect and a cover that covers the combination.

According to the present invention, the terminals attached to the tips of the pair of electric wires are sequentially mounted in the storage space of the holding body from the side openings. Therefore, there is no need to bend the wire when installing the terminal, and there is no need to unnecessarily lengthen the wire.

[Embodiment of the invention]

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the connector 10 includes a pair of electric wires 12 a and 12 b extending from the covering portion 11, terminals 13 a and 13 b attached to the tips of the electric wires 12 a and 12 b, and a pair of terminals. A holding body 15 for accommodating and holding 13a, 13b, a pair of electric wires 12a, 12b to which terminals 13a, 13b are attached, and a cover 20 for covering the holding body 15 are provided.

FIG. 2 shows a combination of the electric wires 12 a and 12 b and the holding body 15. Of these, the holder 15 has storage spaces 16a and 16b in which the terminals 13a and 13b are stored, as shown in FIG. Each storage space 16a, 16b is open at both ends in the arrangement direction of the electric wires 12a, 12b (left and right direction in FIG. 2), and is also open at the side portions 17a, 17b. Further, recesses 14a and 14b are formed in the terminals 13a and 13b, and projections 18a and 18b that engage with the recesses 14a and 14b are formed in the storage spaces 16a and 16b in which the terminals 13a and 13b are stored. There is.

Next, the operation of the present embodiment having such a configuration will be described. First, as shown in FIG. 2, the terminals 13 a and 13 b attached to the ends of the pair of electric wires 12 a and 12 b extending from the covering portion 11 are housed in the housing spaces 16 a and 16 b of the holding body 15. In this case, the terminals 13a, 13b are mounted in the storage spaces 16a, 16b of the holder 15 through the side openings 17a, 17b, and the recesses 14a, 14b of the terminals 13a, 13b are stored in the storage spaces 16a, 16b. The terminals 13a and 13b are fixed in the storage spaces 16a and 16b by engaging with the convex portions 18a and 18b. In this way, the terminals 13a, 13b are mounted in the storage spaces 16a, 16b of the holder 15 through the side openings 17a, 17b, so that the pair of electric wires 12a, 12b extending from the covering portion 11 is unnecessary. It doesn't have to be long.

That is, in the case where the storage spaces 16a and 16b are holders 25 having no side openings (see FIG. 3), the terminals 13a and 13b are sequentially inserted into the storage spaces 16a and 16b from the left and right end openings of FIG. Will be done. In this case, since the electric wire 12a of the terminal 13a to be inserted later is bent and inserted, it is necessary to provide the electric wire 12a with a bent portion 19 of a predetermined length. The length is getting longer. On the other hand, according to the present invention, the pair of electric wires 12a and 12b need not have the bent portion 19 and can be made relatively short.

Next, the cover 20 is put on the holding body 15 holding the pair of electric wires 12a and 12b and the terminals 13a and 13b, and thus the connector 10 is assembled. As shown in FIG. 1, according to the present invention, since the length of the pair of electric wires 12a and 12b can be shortened as described above, the storage spaces 16a and 16b can hold the holding body 25 having no side opening. Compared with the case where it is used (see FIG. 4), the length of the cover 20 can be shortened to make the connector 10 short and compact.

[0015]

[Effect of the invention]

 According to the present invention, since it is not necessary to bend the electric wire when mounting the terminal in the storage space of the holder, the electric wire can be shortened. Therefore, the connector as a whole can be made short and compact.
