Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Field of Application of the Invention] The present invention relates to a joint connector that can ensure fitting of short terminals.

[Background of the idea]

A conventional joint connector has a configuration as shown in FIG. This is divided into a plurality of terminal accommodating chambers 2 by a partition wall 1, and each terminal accommodating chamber 2.
It has a housing 6 which is integrally constructed with a holding lid 5 for preventing detachment of a plurality of short terminals 4 and 5 which are brought into fitting contact with a joint terminal 3 inserted therein. When fitting the short terminals 4 and 5, the short terminals 4 and 5 are fitted so that the contact tongue pieces 7 of the short terminals 4 and 5 are in contact with the joint terminals 3 housed in each terminal housing chamber 2, and then the housing is 6 is placed on the back of the short terminals 4 and 5, and the locking claw 8 provided on the edge of the presser cover 5 is locked into the locking hole 9 provided on the side surface of the housing 6. It is designed to prevent the short terminals 4 and 5 from coming off. Note that reference numeral 10 indicates an electric wire connected to each joint terminal 3, and reference numeral 11 indicates a thin hinge connecting the presser cover 5.

However, in the case of a joint connector having such a conventional structure, when fitting the respective short terminals 4 and 5 into the housing 6, the respective terminal accommodating chambers 2 of the housing 6 and these terminals are There is no play between the short terminals 4 and 5 connected to the terminal 3 located in the housing chamber 2 and the contact tongue piece 7, and between the back of the fitted short terminals 4 and 5 and the presser cover 5. Therefore, the fitting mode of the respective short terminals 4 and 5 fitted into the housing 6 may be in an inclined state as shown in FIG. In some cases, short-circuiting of short terminals 4 and 5 occurred.

[Purpose of invention]

The present invention was developed by focusing on such conventional problems, and by providing a positioning protrusion on the housing to position the short terminals in an orderly manner, it is possible to prevent short circuits between the short terminals on both sides. The purpose of this invention is to provide a joint connector.

[Embodiment of the invention] The present invention will be explained in detail below based on the embodiment shown in FIG. The reference numerals are given and the structural description thereof is omitted.

That is, the feature of this embodiment is that the notch recess 20 formed in each short terminal 4 and 5 is engaged with the opening edge of the terminal accommodating chamber 2 formed in the housing 6 on the side where the short terminal is inserted. 21 was established. Further, the protrusion length of the protrusion 21 is set so as not to be larger than the thickness of the short terminals 4 and 5. In this way, the housing 6 is provided with a protrusion 21 for positioning the short terminals 4 and 5, and the recess 20 formed in the short terminals 4 and 5 is positioned on this protrusion 21, so that the short terminals 4 and 5 can be connected. Since it is designed to fit inside the housing 6, the short terminals 4 and 5 housed within the housing 6 are neatly positioned within the housing 6 due to the engagement between the protrusion 21 and the recess 20. As a result, there is an effect that problems caused by short-circuiting of both short terminals 4 and 5 can be eliminated.

[Summary of the idea]

As described above, the present invention has a plurality of terminal accommodating chambers 2 partitioned by a partition plate 1, and a housing 6 in which joint terminals 3 are accommodated in these terminal accommodating chambers 2. In a joint connector in which a plurality of short terminals 4 and 5 having contact tongue pieces 7 are fitted to connect the joint terminals 3 to each other, the short terminals 4 and 5 of the partition plate 1 are fitted. A joint characterized in that a protrusion 21 is provided on the edge of the short terminal, and a recess 20 into which the protrusion 21 fits is provided in the short terminals 4 and 5 to regulate the positions of the short terminals 4 and 5. It is a connector.

[Effect of idea]

Therefore, according to this joint connector, the short terminals 4 and 5 housed in the housing 6 are neatly positioned within the housing 6 due to the engagement between the protrusion 21 and the recess 20, and as a result, both short terminals 4 and 5 are positioned neatly within the housing 6. This has the effect of eliminating the problem that would occur if the short terminals 4 and 5 were short-circuited.
