Description

  The present invention relates to a connector for a wiring / piping material holder capable of connecting in a conductive state wiring / pipe material receiving members that have been subjected to an insulating surface treatment.

  Conventionally, wiring / piping material receptacles are arranged so that a plurality of wiring / piping material receptacles are continuous by being coupled by a coupling tool (for example, see Patent Document 1). On the other hand, in order to release the leakage current to the ground through the wiring / pipe material holder, it is necessary to electrically connect the wiring / pipe material holder.

  However, if surface treatment processing (cationic electrodeposition coating, powder coating, etc.) such as painting with synthetic resin paint is applied, with conventional couplers, it is not possible to achieve electrical connection between wiring and piping material receptacles. For this reason, the paint is removed from the portion where the connector comes into contact, or an earth bond wire is attached between the wiring / pipe material receptacles separately from the connector.
