[Effect] The space for arranging multiple connector housings can be narrowed.

Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea]

0001

[Industrial application field]

This invention is useful when attaching multiple electrical connectors to a printed circuit board, etc. The present invention relates to an electrical connector housing having an advantageous structure.

0002

[Conventional technology]

For example, conventional electrical connector housings installed on automotive printed circuit boards. The structure was as shown in FIG. In other words, 1 has many male ends inside. A connector housing into which the child 2 is inserted and fixed, and this connector housing 1 are provided on both left and right outer surfaces for fixing the connector housing 1 to a printed circuit board, etc. Mounting parts 3 of the same shape are provided protruding from each other, and mounting screws are inserted into these mounting parts 3. A screw insertion hole 4 is provided for passing the screw through.

0003

[Problem that the idea aims to solve]

In this way, in the conventional connector housing 1, the connector housing 1 Mounting parts 3 for fixing the housing to a printed circuit board, etc. protrude from both left and right sides of the housing. Because of this, it is possible to arrange a plurality of connector housings 1 of such a shape adjacently. When the two connector housings 1 and 1 are connected to each other, as shown in FIG. The mounting parts 3 and 3 of both sides spread out, and the same mounting surface in a narrow space In some cases, it may be difficult to arrange multiple connector housings. There was a problem.

0004

[Means to solve the problem]

The present invention was developed by focusing on the problems with conventional connector housings. When multiple connector housings are placed next to each other on the same mounting surface, When installing the connector housing, the opposing mounting parts of the connector housing should be stacked one on top of the other. This structure allows for narrower arrangement space for multiple connector housings. An object of the present invention is to provide an electrical connector housing that can be used in various ways.

[0005]

【Example】

The present invention will be explained in detail below based on the embodiments shown in FIGS. 3 to 6.

[0006] 11 is a connector housing, and this connector housing 11 has a connector housing (not shown). A casing-shaped housing main body part 12 that arranges and holds a large number of connection terminals, and this housing. projecting from the outside of both left and right sides of the main body 12 and from the respective mounting parts 13 and 14. However, the mounting portions 13 and 14 are formed in an irregular shape. In other words, one The mounting portion 13 is a projection having a thickness a, a width b, and a depth c. At the center of 3 is a mounting plate for mounting the connector housing 11 on a predetermined mounting surface. A through hole 15 for a screw (not shown) is bored. The other mounting portion 14 is A dome-shaped cavity forming a cavity 16 into which one of the mounting parts 13 can be fitted. It is a protrusion. In other words, the shape of the cavity 16 is equal to the thickness a, width b, and depth c. It is shaped like a squid or slightly smaller. 17 is bored in the center of the mounting part 14. This is the mounting screw insertion hole.

[0007] In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. The shapes of the mounting portion 13 on one side and the mounting portion 14 on the other side are irregularly shaped. vinegar That is, the other mounting portion 14 forms a cavity 16 into which the one mounting portion 13 is fitted. One of the mounting portions 13 formed in the adjacent housings is connected to the other mounting portion 13 formed in the adjacent housing. One mounting part 13 and the other mounting part 14 are inserted into the cavity 16 of the mounting part 14 of the (see Figure 6), and then insert the mounting screws into the screw insertion holes 17 and 15. The connector housing 11 is attached by inserting it and screwing it. It is.

[0008] Therefore, one mounting part 13 and the other mounting part 13 of the two-sided connector housing 11 installed next to each other are Since the attachment part 14 is overlapped and fixed, both sides fixed to a printed circuit board etc. The distance R between the housing body parts 12 of the connector housing 11 is reduced. This reduces the installation space for multiple connector housings that are fixed in place. can.

[0009] Furthermore, the stacked mounting parts 13 and 14 can be tightened with one common mounting screw. Since it is possible to reduce the amount of work required for attaching mounting screws compared to the conventional example.

0010

[Effect of the idea]

As described above, in the present invention, the connector housing body 12 is provided with a An electrical connector housing having respective mounting portions 13 and 14 protruding from each other with screw insertion holes. In this case, the shape of one mounting portion 13 is a convex shape having a thickness a, a width b, and a depth c. The other mounting portion 14 has a recess 16 into which the convex mounting portion 13 is fitted. Since this is an electrical connector housing formed with a One mounting part 13 and the other mounting part 14 of the connector housing 11 are overlapped and secured. Therefore, the double-sided connector housing 11 fixed to a printed circuit board etc. The distance R between the housing body parts 12 is shortened, which allows for multiple arrangements. The mounting space for the fixed connector housing can be reduced.

[0011] Furthermore, the stacked mounting parts 13 and 14 can be tightened with one common mounting screw. This has the effect of reducing the amount of work required to install mounting screws compared to conventional methods. You can get results.
