Description

Connector {CONNECTOR}

The present invention relates to a connector, and more particularly, to maintain a twisted structure of a twisted cable composed of a plurality of wires in a twisted relationship without using additional components and to prevent open-eye occurrence. It relates to a connector that can be assembled and has excellent assembly properties.

Electrical components provided in vehicles and the like apply a connector structure to apply and receive signals, grounds, power, and the like. In general, in a process of coupling a connector housing and a terminal electrically connected to a wire when manufacturing a connector, a worker holds an end of a wire and inserts and fixes the terminal into the housing.

Meanwhile, in order to eliminate signal noise, a twisted cable in which a plurality of wires are twisted with each other is used for Ethernet communication. The twisted cable can reduce electromagnetic noise because the magnetic fields generated by the flow of current respectively transmitted to the wires in a twisted relationship can be mutually canceled. Considering this point, it is very advantageous for the electrical performance of the twisted cable to maintain a twisted structure between a plurality of wires.

By the way, in applying the connector structure to the twisted cable, if the method of pinching the end of the wire and pushing it into the connector housing as in the conventional connector manufacturing method is applied, the end of the wire is parallel to each other over a certain length by removing the twisted structure. They must be placed in a single structure. In particular, an open-eye phenomenon in which the shapes of wires are changed convexly in opposite directions in regions corresponding to each other by a pushing force or the like may occur.

In this way, according to the conventional connector structure or manufacturing method, a section in which the twisted structure of the twisted cable wire is destroyed or an open eye phenomenon of the wire may occur, thereby causing a problem such as signal distortion. In particular, Ethernet connectors for signal transmission with low current and low voltage characteristics can cause not only signal distortion due to twist breakage or open eye phenomenon, but also abnormal output of digital devices due to signal distortion. Anomalies in the equipment may occur during driving due to signal errors in several control units.

Conventionally, in order to maintain the twisted structure of the twisted cable, an additional fixed structure or jacketed twisted cable is used, or an automated facility is provided to minimize the section where the twisted structure is released during assembly. However, since all of these conventional solutions require additional components or additional assembly facilities, the production cost increases.

The matters described as the background art above are only for improving understanding of the background of the present invention, and should not be taken as an admission that they correspond to prior art already known to those skilled in the art.

That is, as shown in (b) of FIG. 11, when the upper housing 10 is disposed above the lower housing 20, the terminal fixing member 30 prevents the upper housing 10 from moving downward at a certain height. It becomes a stumbling block. In this process, as shown in (a) of FIG. 12 , the guide projection 211 is positioned at one end of the guide groove 131 formed on the side wall of the upper housing 10 .

In the process as shown in (b) of FIG. 11, the lower surface of the upper plate 11 of the upper housing 10 does not completely come into close contact with the upper end of the lower housing 20, and is caught by the terminal fixing member 40 to the upper housing. (10) and the lower housing 20 are separated by a predetermined distance.

Subsequently, as shown in (c) of FIG. 11, the terminal 30 to which the cable 50 is connected is inserted into one end of the lower housing 20 in the first direction and moved to the other end in the first direction to be disposed in the terminal accommodating portion. It can be.
