ところで、上記特許文献１のような中継用コネクタでは、係止部が上下方向、すなわち一対のコネクタの嵌合方向に対して隙間をもって係合されているので、例えば、コネクタに接続された電線に上下方向に沿って引張力が加わっても、この引張力を隙間によって吸収することができ、ハウジング本体が固定部材に対して傾くことがなく、ハウジング本体が固定部材から取り外されることがない。   By the way, in the relay connector as in the above-mentioned Patent Document 1, since the engaging portion is engaged with a gap in the vertical direction, that is, the fitting direction of the pair of connectors, for example, on the electric wire connected to the connector. Even if a tensile force is applied along the vertical direction, this tensile force can be absorbed by the gap, the housing body does not tilt with respect to the fixing member, and the housing body does not become detached from the fixing member.

しかしながら、上記特許文献１のような中継用コネクタでは、係止部がハウジング本体に対するコネクタの挿入方向に対して弾性的に係合していないので、例えば、電線に嵌合方向と交差する方向（斜め方向）に引張力が加わると、この引張力を隙間だけでは吸収することができず、ハウジング本体が固定部材に対して傾き、ハウジング本体が固定部材から取り外される恐れがあった。   However, in the relay connector as described in Patent Document 1, since the locking portion is not elastically engaged with the insertion direction of the connector with respect to the housing main body, for example, the direction ( When a tensile force is applied in an oblique direction, the tensile force cannot be absorbed only by the gap, and the housing body may be inclined with respect to the fixing member, and the housing body may be detached from the fixing member.

端子１３は、一端側に固定部材７に設けられた孔部を挿通しＰＣＢ基板２３の回路に電気的に接続される基板接続部２５が設けられ、他端側に他方のコネクタ３内に収容され相手端子の接続部が挿入され相手端子に電気的に接続される箱状の端子接続部２７が設けられている。この端子１３の端子接続部２７を収容する他方のコネクタ３は、係止部９を介してハウジング本体５の一端側に配置された固定部材７に取り付けられる。   The terminal 13 is provided with a board connecting portion 25 that is inserted into a hole provided in the fixing member 7 on one end side and electrically connected to the circuit of the PCB board 23, and is accommodated in the other connector 3 on the other end side. Then, a box-shaped terminal connection portion 27 is provided to which the connection portion of the counterpart terminal is inserted and electrically connected to the counterpart terminal. The other connector 3 that accommodates the terminal connection portion 27 of the terminal 13 is attached to the fixing member 7 disposed on one end side of the housing body 5 via the locking portion 9.

固定部材７は、合成樹脂などの絶縁性材料からなり、筐体状に形成され、内部に他方のコネクタ３の一端側と端子１３の基板接続部２５及びバネ部１５を収容可能な収容部２９が設けられている。また、収容部２９の外周面には、複数の固定部３１が形成され、固定部３１を介して固定部材７がＰＣＢ基板２３上に固定される。この固定部材７と他方のコネクタ３との間には、他方のコネクタ３を固定部材７に保持させる係止部９が設けられている。   The fixing member 7 is made of an insulating material such as a synthetic resin, is formed in a casing shape, and includes a housing portion 29 that can house one end side of the other connector 3, the board connecting portion 25 of the terminal 13, and the spring portion 15. Is provided. A plurality of fixing portions 31 are formed on the outer peripheral surface of the housing portion 29, and the fixing member 7 is fixed on the PCB substrate 23 via the fixing portions 31. Between the fixing member 7 and the other connector 3, a locking portion 9 for holding the other connector 3 on the fixing member 7 is provided.

係止部９は、他方のコネクタ３の両側面にそれぞれ撓み可能に設けられた可撓アームからなる可撓部１１と、この可撓部１１の自由端に設けられた爪部３３と、固定部材７の収容部２９の両側壁にそれぞれ設けられ爪部３３が係止される窓部３５とを備えている。   The locking portion 9 is fixed to a flexible portion 11 formed of a flexible arm that can be bent on both side surfaces of the other connector 3, and a claw portion 33 provided at the free end of the flexible portion 11. And a window portion 35 provided on each side wall of the accommodating portion 29 of the member 7 and to which the claw portion 33 is locked.

この係止部９は、他方のコネクタ３を固定部材７の収容部２９内に挿入することにより、爪部３３が窓部３５に係止され、他方のコネクタ３を固定部材７に保持させる。この係止部９による係止状態では、可撓部１１の撓みにより、他方のコネクタ３が固定部材７に対して一対のコネクタ３の嵌合方向と直交する平面方向への移動が可能となり、一対のコネクタ３の嵌合方向と直交する平面方向に調芯機能をもたせることができる。   In this locking portion 9, the other connector 3 is inserted into the housing portion 29 of the fixing member 7, whereby the claw portion 33 is locked to the window portion 35 and the other connector 3 is held by the fixing member 7. In the locked state by the locking portion 9, the flexure of the flexible portion 11 enables the other connector 3 to move in the plane direction perpendicular to the fitting direction of the pair of connectors 3 with respect to the fixing member 7. The alignment function can be provided in a plane direction orthogonal to the fitting direction of the pair of connectors 3.

一方、他方のコネクタ３に収容される端子１３には、基板接続部２５と端子接続部２７との間にバネ部１５が設けられている。バネ部１５は、所定の付勢力を有するように折り曲げ形成されている。このバネ部１５は、一対のコネクタ３の嵌合方向への伸縮により、他方のコネクタ３が固定部材７に対して一対のコネクタ３の嵌合方向への移動が可能となり、一対のコネクタ３の嵌合方向に調芯機能をもたせることができる。   On the other hand, the terminal 13 accommodated in the other connector 3 is provided with a spring portion 15 between the board connecting portion 25 and the terminal connecting portion 27. The spring portion 15 is bent so as to have a predetermined urging force. This spring portion 15 can be moved in the fitting direction of the pair of connectors 3 with respect to the fixing member 7 by the expansion and contraction of the pair of connectors 3 in the fitting direction. A centering function can be provided in the fitting direction.

このようなバネ部１５により、ハウジング本体５が固定部材７に組付けられた状態で、例えば、ハウジング本体５の他端側の開口２１から引き出されたハーネスに一対のコネクタ３の嵌合方向と交差する斜め方向に引張力が加わったとしても、バネ部１５の付勢力によって引張力を吸収することができ、ハウジング本体５の固定部材７に対する傾きを抑制することができる。   With such a spring portion 15, in the state where the housing body 5 is assembled to the fixing member 7, for example, the fitting direction of the pair of connectors 3 to the harness pulled out from the opening 21 on the other end side of the housing body 5 Even if a tensile force is applied in the intersecting oblique direction, the tensile force can be absorbed by the urging force of the spring portion 15, and the inclination of the housing body 5 with respect to the fixing member 7 can be suppressed.

ここで、固定部材７の収容部２９内には、規制部１７が設けられている。規制部１７は、他方のコネクタ３の一端側が収容部２９に収容された状態で、他方のコネクタ３の端面と隙間をもって対向される当て面３７を有する。この当て面３７は、ハウジング本体５を固定部材７に組付け、端子１３のバネ部１５が撓んだ（付勢力に抗して収縮した）際に、他方のコネクタ３の端面と当接し、バネ部１５の撓み量を制限する。   Here, a regulating portion 17 is provided in the accommodating portion 29 of the fixing member 7. The restricting portion 17 has a contact surface 37 that faces the end surface of the other connector 3 with a gap in a state where one end side of the other connector 3 is accommodated in the accommodating portion 29. The abutting surface 37 is in contact with the end surface of the other connector 3 when the housing body 5 is assembled to the fixing member 7 and the spring portion 15 of the terminal 13 is bent (shrinks against the biasing force). The amount of bending of the spring portion 15 is limited.

この規制部１７によるバネ部１５の撓み量の制限により、ハウジング本体５の固定部材７に対する大きな沈み込みを抑制することができる。加えて、規制部１７によってバネ部１５の撓み量を制限することにより、バネ部１５の永久変形を防止することができ、バネ部１５の耐久性を向上することができる。   By restricting the amount of bending of the spring portion 15 by the restricting portion 17, it is possible to suppress a large sinking of the housing body 5 with respect to the fixing member 7. In addition, by restricting the amount of bending of the spring portion 15 by the restricting portion 17, permanent deformation of the spring portion 15 can be prevented, and durability of the spring portion 15 can be improved.

なお、固定部材７の収容部２９内に設けられた規制部１７としては、他方のコネクタ３の一端側が収容部２９に収容された状態で、他方のコネクタ３の側面と隙間をもって対向される内壁面を規制部１７としてもよい。この規制部１７としての内壁面は、ハウジング本体５を固定部材７に組付け、係止部９の可撓部１１が撓んだ際に、他方のコネクタ３の側面と当接し、可撓部１１の撓み量を制限する。   The restricting portion 17 provided in the accommodating portion 29 of the fixing member 7 is an inner portion facing the side surface of the other connector 3 with a gap in a state where one end side of the other connector 3 is accommodated in the accommodating portion 29. The wall surface may be the restricting portion 17. The inner wall surface as the restricting portion 17 is in contact with the side surface of the other connector 3 when the housing body 5 is assembled to the fixing member 7 and the flexible portion 11 of the locking portion 9 is bent. 11 is limited.

この規制部１７としての内壁面による可撓部１１の撓み量の制限により、ハウジング本体５の固定部材７に対する一対のコネクタ３の嵌合方向と直交する平面方向への大きな移動を抑制することができる。加えて、規制部１７としての内壁面によって可撓部１１の撓み量を制限することにより、可撓部１１の過剰な変形による破損を防止することができ、可撓部１１の耐久性を向上することができる。   By restricting the amount of bending of the flexible portion 11 by the inner wall surface as the restricting portion 17, it is possible to suppress a large movement in the plane direction perpendicular to the fitting direction of the pair of connectors 3 with respect to the fixing member 7 of the housing body 5. it can. In addition, by restricting the amount of bending of the flexible portion 11 by the inner wall surface as the restricting portion 17, damage due to excessive deformation of the flexible portion 11 can be prevented, and durability of the flexible portion 11 is improved. can do.

このように構成された中継用コネクタ１の組付けは、まず、一方のコネクタをハウジング本体５の他端側の開口２１から収容し、ハウジング本体５内に一方のコネクタを保持させる。次に、固定部材７の収容部２９内に端子１３及び他方のコネクタ３の一端側を収容し、係止部９を介して固定部材７に他方のコネクタ３を保持させる。次に、固定部材７を固定部３１を介してＰＣＢ基板２３上に固定する。   In assembling the relay connector 1 configured in this way, first, one connector is received from the opening 21 on the other end side of the housing body 5, and one connector is held in the housing body 5. Next, the terminal 13 and one end side of the other connector 3 are accommodated in the accommodating portion 29 of the fixing member 7, and the other connector 3 is held by the fixing member 7 via the locking portion 9. Next, the fixing member 7 is fixed on the PCB substrate 23 via the fixing portion 31.

そして、ＰＣＢ基板２３上に固定された固定部材７に対してハウジング本体５を組付け、ハウジング本体５の一端側の開口１９から他方のコネクタ３を挿入し、一対のコネクタ３を嵌合させ、相手端子と端子１３とを電気的に接続させる。このとき、中継用コネクタ１では、可撓部１１とバネ部１５とによって全ての方向に対して調芯機能を有するので、相手端子と端子１３とが調芯されながら接続される。   Then, the housing body 5 is assembled to the fixing member 7 fixed on the PCB substrate 23, the other connector 3 is inserted from the opening 19 on one end side of the housing body 5, and the pair of connectors 3 are fitted, The counterpart terminal and the terminal 13 are electrically connected. At this time, since the relay connector 1 has the alignment function in all directions by the flexible portion 11 and the spring portion 15, the mating terminal and the terminal 13 are connected while being aligned.

このような中継用コネクタ１では、他方のコネクタ３に収容される端子１３に一対のコネクタ３の嵌合方向へのハウジング本体５の移動を許容するバネ部１５が設けられているので、ハウジング本体５に一対のコネクタ３の嵌合方向と交差する方向に外力が加わったとしても、バネ部１５の付勢力によって外力を吸収することができ、ハウジング本体５の固定部材７に対する傾きを抑制することができる。   In such a relay connector 1, the terminal 13 accommodated in the other connector 3 is provided with a spring portion 15 that allows the housing body 5 to move in the fitting direction of the pair of connectors 3. Even if an external force is applied to 5 in a direction crossing the fitting direction of the pair of connectors 3, the external force can be absorbed by the biasing force of the spring portion 15, and the inclination of the housing body 5 with respect to the fixing member 7 can be suppressed. Can do.

このため、ハウジング本体５の傾きによる固定部材７からの取り外しを防止することができので、中継用コネクタ１の組付作業において、作業者の気遣いを低減でき、組付作業効率を向上することができる。   For this reason, it is possible to prevent the housing body 5 from being detached from the fixing member 7, so that the operator's concern can be reduced in the assembly work of the relay connector 1, and the assembly work efficiency can be improved. it can.

従って、このような中継用コネクタ１では、端子１３に設けられたバネ部１５によってハウジング本体５にかかる斜め方向の外力を吸収することができるので、ハウジング本体５の傾きを抑制でき、組付作業効率を向上することができる。   Therefore, in such a relay connector 1, the external force applied to the housing body 5 can be absorbed by the spring portion 15 provided on the terminal 13, so that the inclination of the housing body 5 can be suppressed and the assembly work can be performed. Efficiency can be improved.

また、固定部材７には、他方のコネクタ３の移動を規制する規制部１７が設けられているので、可撓部１１及びバネ部１５の撓みより大きな外力がハウジング本体５に加わったとしても、規制部１７によって他方のコネクタ３を介してハウジング本体５の移動を規制することができる。加えて、規制部１７によって可撓部１１及びバネ部１５の撓みを規制することができ、可撓部１１及びバネ部１５の耐久性を向上することができる。   Further, since the fixing member 7 is provided with a restricting portion 17 that restricts the movement of the other connector 3, even if an external force larger than the bending of the flexible portion 11 and the spring portion 15 is applied to the housing body 5, The movement of the housing body 5 can be regulated by the regulating part 17 via the other connector 3. In addition, the bending of the flexible portion 11 and the spring portion 15 can be restricted by the restriction portion 17, and the durability of the flexible portion 11 and the spring portion 15 can be improved.

なお、本発明の実施の形態に係る中継用コネクタでは、他方のコネクタと固定部材との間に設けられた係止部が可撓部を有し、他方のコネクタに収容される端子にバネ部が設けられているが、本発明における技術的思想はこの構成に限られるものではない。   In the relay connector according to the embodiment of the present invention, the locking portion provided between the other connector and the fixing member has a flexible portion, and the spring portion is provided on the terminal accommodated in the other connector. However, the technical idea of the present invention is not limited to this configuration.

例えば、一方のコネクタとハウジング本体との間に設けられた係止部が可撓部を有し、一方のコネクタに収容される端子にバネ部を設ける、或いは他方のコネクタに収容される端子にバネ部を設けるなどという構成は、本発明の技術的思想に含まれるものである。   For example, the locking portion provided between one connector and the housing body has a flexible portion, and a spring portion is provided on a terminal accommodated in one connector, or a terminal accommodated in the other connector. A configuration such as providing a spring portion is included in the technical idea of the present invention.

また、本発明の実施の形態に係る中継用コネクタでは、一方のコネクタに収容される端子が雄端子であり、他方のコネクタに収容される端子が雌端子となっているが、これに限らず、端子の雌雄関係は逆でもよく、互いに電気的に接続できる構成であればどのような形態であってもよい。   Moreover, in the relay connector according to the embodiment of the present invention, the terminal accommodated in one connector is a male terminal, and the terminal accommodated in the other connector is a female terminal. The male-female relationship of the terminals may be reversed, and any form may be used as long as it can be electrically connected to each other.
