[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  In the present invention, a discrete wire is connected to a flat wiring material connector fixed to a circuit board or the like so as to connect a flat wiring material such as a flat cable, a ribbon electric wire, and an FPC (Flexible Printed Circuit) having parallel rectangular conductors. YouRucoIt relates to nectars.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, for example, an audio module or an electrical module such as a navigation system is generally assembled to an instrument panel (hereinafter abbreviated as an instrument panel) of an automobile, and in many models, each module is stored in a storage box in the center of the instrument panel. The module is stored in a stacked state.
[0003]
And when it is necessary to connect each module electrically, the modules installed up and down are connected by a flat wiring material such as a flat cable, and the flat wiring material is placed along the side or back of the module. As a result, the wires are routed in a limited space.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
By the way, depending on the vehicle model, there are modules that store modules in positions separated in the vehicle width direction due to the layout of the instrument panel, etc. In such a vehicle model, a flat wiring material for connecting the modules to each other is provided on the vehicle body. It may be routed in a state of being bundled together with a wire harness (a bundle of discrete wires).
[0005]
However, when the flat wiring material is bundled together with the wire harness by a binding band or the like, it is considered that the flat wiring material is twisted or forcibly bent, which may be one cause of disconnection, for example. Therefore, in the electrical module as described above, a flat wiring material is used as a wiring material when the modules are arranged in a stacked state, while a wiring material is used when the modules are arranged apart from each other. There is a request to be able to use discrete wires.
[0006]
In addition, it is also conceivable to provide a plurality of types of connectors corresponding to different wire types in each electric module so that either a flat wiring material or a discrete wire can be used. Not only does this increase costs, but it also hinders space saving and is not a good idea.
[0007]
The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to make it possible to connect a discrete wire to a circuit board or the like by using a flat wiring material connector fixed to the circuit board or the like as it is. .
[0009]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
  In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides:Multiple terminalsButIn parallelIn the housingStorageIsFlat wiring material connectorA connector for electrically connecting a discrete wire to each terminal, the connector for the flat wiring materialFits into the housingFormed andHolds multiple discrete wires with exposed conductors at the tip, in an arrangement corresponding to the terminal arrangement with the conductor exposed portions aligned.Have housing toBy fitting this housing to the housing of the flat wiring material connector,,Constructed so that the exposed conductor of each discrete wire is in direct contact with the corresponding terminalAnd the housing for holding the discrete wires includes a plate-like support member having a positioning portion for positioning the conductor exposed portions of each discrete wire in a state of being separated from each other, and the positioning member by being assembled to the support member. Each positioned discrete wire, and a holding member for fixing the tip of the exposed conductor of each discrete wire, and each discrete wire in a state where the tip of the exposed conductor portion penetrates from one side of the support member to the other side. Is configured such that the terminal is in contact with a conductor exposed portion of each discrete wire on the one side of the support member, and the tip of the exposed conductor on the other side is the support member. And the holding memberIsIs.
[0010]
According to such a connector, when the connector is fitted to the flat wiring material connector, the counterpart terminal is in direct contact with the conductor exposure of each discrete line, and the discrete line and the terminal are electrically connected. Become.
[0011]
Therefore, for example, when the flat wiring material connector is fixed to the circuit board and the terminal is electrically connected to the circuit of the circuit board, the discrete line connector holding the discrete line is connected to the circuit board. The discrete wire can be electrically connected to the circuit of the circuit board by being fitted to the flat wiring material connector.
[0014]
  In addition,In this discrete wire connector, a support member for supporting each discrete wire in an arrangement corresponding to the arrangement of terminals in the flat wiring material connectorButProvided in the housingIsAnd a positioning part for positioning the exposed conductors of the discrete wires on the support member in a state of being separated from each other.Therefore, it is possible to reliably prevent shorting between exposed conductors of adjacent discrete lines, and this is particularly effective when arranging discrete lines at a narrow pitch. Also, workability when holding the discrete wire on the connector is improved.
[0016]
  Also,Presser member to support memberButAssemblyIsThe tip of each discrete wire positioned by the positioning portion is exposed while being pinched by a support member and the pressing member.Therefore, the positioning state of the conductor exposed portion is maintained well. In particular, each discrete wire is supported on one side of the support member, and the terminal is in contact with the conductor exposed portion of each discrete wire on the one side, and the tip of the conductor exposed portion of each discrete wire is supported. Since it is configured to sandwich the tip of the exposed conductor between the support member and the pressing member on the other surface side in a state of penetrating from one side of the member to the other surface side,
The resistance force against the mating terminal during connector fitting is further improved. That is, even when the mating terminal is in pressure contact when the connector is fitted, the exposed conductor portion is hardly pushed back in the axial direction of the conductor, and as a result, the axial positioning of the exposed conductor portion is improved.
[0020]
In the discrete wire connector, it is preferable that the housing is configured such that a portion of the retained discrete wire other than the conductor exposed portion is sandwiched between the support member and a fixing member assembled thereto.
[0021]
In this way, each discrete line can be firmly fixed with a simple configuration.
[0022]
In this case, if a groove-like positioning portion for positioning a portion other than the conductor exposed portion of each discrete wire is formed on the fixing member or the supporting member, the discrete wires can be easily arranged on the supporting member. There is an advantage that workability when holding the discrete wire with respect to the housing is improved.
[0023]
In the description of the claims, the “discrete wire” includes all independent electric wire forms such as a single core wire, a stranded wire, a round wire, a square wire, etc., and it does not matter whether there is a plating treatment or the like. .
[0024]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
[0025]
FIG. 1 is a schematic perspective view illustrating a discrete wire connector and an electrical connection structure (method) according to the present invention. In this figure, C1 is a board-side connector comprising a flat wiring material connector, and is fixed in a state of being mounted on the surface of the circuit board P. Further, C2 and C3 are both wiring material side connectors configured to be able to be fitted to the circuit board P. The connector C2 is a flat cable 10 (flat wiring material), and the connector C3 is a circuit board with discrete wires 14. It is configured to connect to P. That is, the board side connector C1 and the wiring material side connector C2 are so-called flat wiring material connection connectors, and the wiring material side connector C3 corresponds to the discrete wire connector of the present invention.
[0026]
The board-side connector C1 has an elongated connector housing 20 (hereinafter abbreviated as the housing 20) in the width direction provided with a slit-like insertion port 20a.
[0027]
In the housing 20, as shown in FIG. 2, a large number of terminal storage chambers 22 are juxtaposed in the width direction (the direction orthogonal to the paper surface in the figure), and the terminals 24 are stored in the respective terminal storage chambers 22. Has been.
[0028]
All terminals 24 stored in each terminal storage chamber 22 have the same shape. Specifically, a connecting flexure piece 24a that can be flexed and displaced up and down is provided at the front end (right end in FIG. 2), and a leg portion 24b is provided at the rear end. The leg portion 24b is a land for fixing the circuit board P. It is connected to the circuit (pattern) on the substrate by being soldered to the substrate.
[0029]
On the upper surface of the housing 20, a guide 26 for fitting the wiring material side connectors C2 and C3 and a hook 28 for locking the connectors C2 and C3 after the fitting are formed.
[0030]
On the other hand, the wiring member side connector C2 has a housing 30 that holds the flat cable 10. As shown in FIG. 3, the housing 30 includes a housing main body 30a and a retainer 30b. The flat cable 10 is inserted into the housing main body 30a in a state where the flat cable 10 is overlaid on the retainer 30b. 10 is held.
[0031]
More specifically, the housing 30a is a member for protecting the latter conductor 11 of the flat cable 10, and as shown in FIGS. 3 and 5, an elongated upper hood 42 extending in the width direction of the flat cable 10 and A square bar-like presser that extends in the width direction below the upper hood 42 is provided at the distal end portion (left end portion in FIG. 5) of the housing body 30a. A member 46 is provided. A slit 47 for guiding the guide 26 of the board-side connector C1 and an operation piece 48 provided with a locking hole 48a of the hook 28 are integrally formed on the upper hood 42.
[0032]
The retainer 30b is a thin plate-like member having a flat cable support surface 32 on the upper portion, and is configured to superimpose the flat cable 10 on the support surface 32. A convex portion 38 for positioning the distal end of the cable 10 is formed in the width direction at the distal end portion of the support surface 32, and guide grooves 38a of the terminals 24 are formed in the convex portion 38 at equal intervals in the width direction. At the rear end portion, a pair of fixing convex portions 34 are formed on both sides in the width direction.
[0033]
As shown in FIG. 3, the flat cable 10 is in a state in which the end portions are processed and the respective conductors 11 are exposed, and a reinforcing plate 12 that restricts the bending of the cable end portions on the back surface of the end portion. Are stacked and fixed.
[0034]
The flat cable 10 is held by the wiring material side connector C2, first, as shown by the white arrow in FIG. 3, the end of the flat cable 10 is overlapped with the retainer 30b (support surface 32), and the end of the flat cable 10 is projected. The cable 10 is fixed to the retainer 30b in a state where it abuts against the portion 38. This fixing is performed by inserting a protruding piece 12b protruding from the tip of the reinforcing plate 12 of the flat cable 10 into a slit 38b formed in the protruding portion 38 and further drilling at the rear end portion of the reinforcing plate 12. This is performed by press-fitting the hole 12a into the convex portion 34 of the retainer 30b.
[0035]
Next, in this state, the retainer 30b and the flat cable 10 are inserted between the upper hood 42 and the pressing member 46 from the lower side of the housing body 30a as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, and the tip of the retainer 30b is pressed. The rear part of the retainer is pushed up as shown by the arrow in FIG. In this way, the hook 36 (shown in FIG. 3) formed on the side surface of the retainer 30b fits into the locking recess 44a formed in the side hood 44, and as shown in FIG. The flat cable 10 is held by the housing 30 with the exposed portion facing the hollow portion 49 formed at the front end of the housing.
[0036]
Then, in order to connect the flat cable 10 to the circuit board P, as shown in FIG. 2, the wiring material side connector C2 is opposed to the insertion port 20a of the board side connector C1, and the retainer 30b of the wiring material side connector C2 is connected. The housings of both the connectors C1 and C2 are fitted to each other while the portion is inserted into the insertion port 20a from the distal end side. At this time, the housings are fitted together while guiding the guide 26 of the board side connector C1 along the slit 47 of the wiring material side connector C2.
[0037]
In this way, when the operation piece 48 of the wiring material side connector C2 is pushed up by the hook 28 of the board side connector C1, and the two connectors C1 and C2 are completely engaged, the hook 28 is moved as shown in FIG. The operating piece 48 and the hook 28 are engaged with each other by entering the locking hole 48a, and as a result, the connectors C1 and C2 are locked in a fitted state. When the connectors C1 and C2 are thus fitted, the exposed portion of the conductor 11 of the flat cable 10 is inserted into the housing 20 of the board-side connector C1 together with the retainer 30b, and the connection of the terminal 24 to each conductor 11 is performed. The bending piece 24a for use will contact. By this contact, each conductor 11 of the flat cable 10 is connected to the circuit of the circuit board P via the corresponding terminal 24.
[0038]
Next, the wiring material side connector C3 will be described.
[0039]
Since the basic configuration of the wiring material side connector C3 is the same as that of the wiring material side connector C2, the description overlapping with the wiring material side connector C2 increases, but the description of the common part is simplified as much as possible. I will explain it.
[0040]
The wiring member side connector C3 has a housing 50 that holds a plurality of discrete wires 14, specifically, the same number of discrete wires 14 as the conductors 11 of the flat cable 10.
[0041]
As shown in FIG. 7, the housing 50 includes a housing main body 50a, a retainer 50b (support member), and a fixing plate 50c (array regulating member: fixing member). The discrete wire 14 is arranged in parallel with the retainer 50b. The fixing plate 50c is fixed to the housing body 50a.
[0042]
More specifically, the housing body 50a includes an upper hood 62 and a side hood 64 as shown in FIGS. 7 and 11, and further has a tip portion (left end portion in FIG. 11) at the upper hood. A pressing member 66 extending in the width direction is provided below 62. On the upper surface of the pressing member 66, recesses 66a for positioning the discrete wire 14 are formed at regular intervals in the width direction. The upper hood 62 is integrally formed with a slit 67 for guiding the guide 26 of the board-side connector C1, an operation piece 68 provided with a locking hole 68a of the hook 28, and the like.
[0043]
The retainer 50b is a member on a thin plate, and a support portion 52 for the discrete wire 14 is provided on the upper surface thereof. The retainer 50b is configured to support the discrete wire 14 while being positioned in the width direction.
[0044]
More specifically, as shown in FIG. 7 and FIG. 10A, a convex portion 58 extending in the width direction is formed at the tip of the support portion 52, and the guide groove 58 a of the terminal 24 is formed in the convex portion 58 in the width direction. Are formed at regular intervals. On the rear side of the convex portion 58 (on the right side in FIG. 10A), a concave portion 54 for positioning the discrete wire 14 in the width direction is provided side by side corresponding to each guide groove 58a. Each concave portion 54 is formed such that the tip side is narrow (narrow portion 54a) and the rear side is wide (wide portion 54b). In other words, the conductor exposed portion at the tip of the discrete wire 14 is positioned by the narrow portion 54a, and the covering portion on the rear side thereof is positioned by the wide portion 54b. Note that the height of the partition wall 54a is set so that the conductors of the adjacent discrete wires 14 are reliably separated from each other.
[0045]
Further, a concave portion 56 corresponding to the concave portion 66a of the pressing member 66 is formed in the width direction at the tip of the retainer 50b and on the lower side (back side) of the support portion 52 so as to face the guide groove 58a. The respective recesses 56 on the lower side of the retainer and the corresponding recesses 54 on the upper side of the retainer are communicated with each other through a through hole 57.
[0046]
The fixed plate 50c is an elongated member having a thin plate shape, and a discrete wire positioning concave portion (not shown) corresponding to the concave portion 54 (wide portion 54b) of the retainer 50b is arranged in parallel in the longitudinal direction on the lower surface thereof. ing. In addition, fixing holes 60 to the housing 50b are formed at both ends in the longitudinal direction of the fixing plate 50c.
[0047]
In addition, as shown in FIG. 7, each discrete wire 14 is in a state in which the end portion is processed and each conductor 15 is exposed.
[0048]
The discrete wires 14 are held by the wiring material side connector C3 as follows.
[0049]
First, the discrete wires 14 are arranged in parallel with their tips, that is, the tips of the conductors 15 aligned, and the fixing plate 50 c is bonded to the discrete wires 14. As a result, the discrete wires 14 are connected together in an aligned state. At this time, the discrete wires 14 and the fixing plate 50c are bonded to each other in a state where the discrete wires 14 are positioned by the concave portions of the fixing plate 50c.
[0050]
Next, as shown in FIG. 8 and FIG. 10A, the distal end portion (the distal end of the conductor 15) of each discrete wire 14 is led out downward from the upper side of the retainer 50 b through the through hole 57. Then, as shown in FIG. 10B, the exposed portion of the conductor 15 is fitted into the recessed portion 56 on the lower side of the retainer and the recessed portion 54 (narrow portion 54a) on the upper side of the retainer, respectively, and the portion other than the exposed portion of the conductor 15 (covering) Portion) along the wide portion 54b of the recess 54, and in this way, the discrete wires 14 are positioned in a state parallel to each other in the width direction. And the said convex part 53 of the retainer 50b is press-fitted in the fixing hole 60 of the fixed plate 50c, and thereby each discrete wire 14 is clamped by the retainer 50b and the fixed plate 50c.
[0051]
Next, in this state, the retainer 50b and each discrete wire 14 are inserted between the upper hood 42 and the pressing member 66 from the lower side of the housing body 50a as shown in FIGS. 9 and 11, and the tip of the retainer 50b is inserted. The rear part of the retainer is pushed up as shown by the arrow in FIG. At this time, the retainer 50 b is overlapped with the pressing member 66 while the conductor tip portion of each discrete wire 14 is fitted in the corresponding recess 66 a of the pressing member 66. In this way, the hook 55 (shown in FIG. 7) formed on the side surface of the retainer 50b fits into the locking recess 64a (shown in FIG. 11) formed in the side hood 64 of the housing body 50a. As shown in (a), each discrete wire 14 is held by the wiring member side connector C3 in a state where the exposed portion of the conductor 15 faces the hollow portion 69 formed at the front end of the housing. Further, the pressing portion 62a projecting from the center of the upper hood of the housing main body 50a is the upper portion of the retainer 50b and abuts the portion slightly in front of the hook 55 so that the tip of the retainer 50b has the hook 55 as a fulcrum. As a result, the distal end portion of the conductor exposed portion of each discrete wire 14 is firmly fixed in a state of being sandwiched between the retainer lower surface and the pressing member 66.
[0052]
Then, in order to connect each discrete wire 14 to the circuit board P, as shown in FIG. 12A, the wiring material side connector C3 is opposed to the insertion port 20a of the board side connector C1, and the wiring material side connector C3. The housings of both connectors C1 and C3 are fitted together while the retainer 50b portion is inserted into the insertion port 20a from the distal end side. At this time, the housings are fitted together while guiding the guide 26 of the board-side connector C1 along the slit 67 of the wiring material-side connector C3.
[0053]
In this way, when the operation piece 68 of the wiring material side connector C3 is pushed up by the hook 28 of the board side connector C1, and both the connectors C1 and C3 are in a completely fitted state, as shown in FIG. The hook 28 enters the locking hole 68a and the operating piece 68 and the hook 28 are engaged with each other. As a result, the connectors C1 and C3 are locked in a fitted state. When the connectors C1 and C3 are fitted in this way, the tip of each discrete wire 14, that is, the exposed portion of the conductor 15, is inserted into the housing 20 of the board-side connector C1 together with the retainer 50b, and the conductor of each discrete wire 14 is inserted. 15, the connecting flexures 24 a of the terminals 24 come into contact with each other. By this contact, each conductor 15 of each discrete wire 14 is connected to the circuit of the circuit board P via the corresponding terminal 24.
[0054]
As described above, according to the wiring material side connector C3, the discrete wire 14 is electrically connected to the circuit board P in the same manner as the flat cable 10 by being fitted to the board side connector C1 which is a flat wiring material connector. Can be connected. Therefore, as explained in the prior art, if you want to change the wire type of the wiring material according to the situation, that is, connect the electrical modules usually using flat cables, but want to connect using discrete wires as necessary Can meet the market needs.
[0055]
In particular, if the wiring material side connector C3 is used, the configuration of the circuit board P and the board side connector C1 can be left as they are, that is, the discrete line 14 can be connected to the circuit board P using the board side connector C1 as it is. There are no adverse effects such as increasing the cost as in the case where a plurality of types of connectors are provided in the electric module, and hindering space saving. Therefore, there is an advantage that the market needs as described above can be reasonably handled.
[0056]
In addition to the feature that the above-described wiring material side connector C3 uses the board side connector C1 that is a flat wiring material connector as it is to connect the discrete wire 14 to the circuit board P, the following details in the configuration are as follows. It has characteristics.
[0057]
First, in this wiring material side connector C3, it is necessary to hold a plurality of discrete wires 14 in parallel. In this respect, in this wiring material side connector C3, as described above, the positioning recess 54 is provided in the retainer 50b. Since each discrete wire 14 is provided and positioned, the discrete wire 14 can be easily assembled to the housing 30 (retainer 50), and the short circuit between the conductors 15 of the discrete wire can be reliably prevented. There is a feature that can be. In particular, in this embodiment, the discrete wires 14 are lined up, and the discrete wires 14 are integrally connected in advance by adhering the fixing plate 50c thereto. In this state, the discrete wires 14 are assembled to the retainer 50b. As a result, it is possible to simultaneously perform the assembly work of the discrete wires 14 to the retainer 50b. Therefore, there is a feature that such assembling work can be performed efficiently.
[0058]
Further, since the exposed conductor portion of each discrete wire 14 is held in a state of being sandwiched between the pressing member 66 and the retainer 50b, the exposed conductor portion is reliably prevented from being pushed back to the terminal 24 due to the connector fitting. As a result, the position of the exposed conductor portion in the axial direction (the axial direction of the conductor 15; the left-right direction in FIG. 12) is improved. In particular, in the above example, the exposed portion of the conductor 15 is sandwiched in a state where the conductor 15 is bent by passing the exposed portion from the upper side to the lower side of the retainer 50b. It is possible to more reliably prevent the conductor 15 from being pushed back due to the pressure contact of the terminal 24.
[0059]
By the way, the above example is one embodiment of the discrete wire connector and electrical connection structure (method) according to the present invention, and the specific configuration is appropriately changed without departing from the gist of the present invention. For example, it may be configured as follows.
[0060]
(1) In the above wiring material side connector C3, the housing 50 is provided in the housing 50 for protecting the conductor exposed portion of the discrete wire 14, but this may be omitted to simplify the connector structure. .
[0061]
(2) In the above wiring material side connector C3, the conductor tip of each discrete wire 14 supported on the front side (support portion 52) of the retainer 50b is passed through the back side of the retainer 50b, and the tip of the conductor is clamped on the back side. However, it is not always necessary to adopt such a holding structure. For example, the conductor 15 may be held in a state of being straightly extended on the support portion 52. However, if the leading end of the conductor is passed through the back side of the retainer 50b as described above, the leading end portion is bent and is difficult to be pulled out, so that even if the terminal 24 comes into pressure contact with the connector fitting operation, the terminal There is an advantage that the tip portion of 15 is difficult to be pushed back.
[0062]
{Circle around (3)} In the wiring material side connector C3, the concave portion 54 having the narrow portion 54a and the wide portion 54b is provided in the support portion 52 of the retainer 50b as one of the positioning members of the discrete wire 14, but the discrete wire 14 is Since the conductor exposed portion at the tip only needs to be correctly positioned, this may be omitted for the wide portion 54b for positioning the rear portion (covered portion) from the conductor exposed portion.
[0063]
(4) In the above wiring material side connector C3, the fixing plate 50c is not necessarily provided with a discrete wire positioning recess, and may be, for example, a simple flat plate. In this case, for example, the fixed plate 50c may be bonded and fixed to the discrete wire in a state where the discrete wires are positioned in parallel using a jig.
[0064]
(5) When the conductor 15 of the discrete wire 14 is a stranded wire, it is conceivable that adjacent discrete wires are short-circuited when the stranded wire is unwound. Therefore, in order to prevent this, when the conductor 15 is a stranded wire, the conductor exposed portion of the discrete wire 14 may be preliminarily impregnated with solder and integrated.
[0065]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, the discrete wire connector according to the present invention is electrically connected to each terminal accommodated in the flat wiring material connector by being fitted to each flat wiring material connector. can do. Therefore, when the board-side connector composed of the flat wiring material connector is fixed to the circuit board or the like, the discrete wiring can be connected to the circuit board using the flat wiring material connector as it is.
