Description

Hybrid female connector

The present invention relates to a hybrid female connector, and more particularly, to a hybrid female connector which is configured to enhance the airtightness and waterproofness while dispersing the coupling point by a mantissa, thereby enhancing the binding force.

In general, according to the trend of electronic and intelligent vehicle, various electronic control equipments are used to control engines, transmissions, fuels, and injection timings. These electronic control devices include cables for various input / output electric signals and power sources. It is inevitably accompanied by use, and it is arranged optimally according to the structure of the vehicle and fixed or mounted by using a clip to fix it in a proper position. A connector for electrically connecting the cables between the two is necessarily used.

That is, an example of the wire harness in which the respective electrically driven devices are connected to the drive source or the power source by the electric wiring, there is an example of the wire harness that first connects various fuses and lamps located in the front and rear of the vehicle body, the engine And wire harnesses that connect to each other in relation to transmissions, and wire harnesses related to doors and wire harnesses that connect various electrical components in relation to dashboards and instrument panels.

And, the end of the wire harness is connected to the female (male) and male (male) connector, respectively, the female connector mounted on the door of these connectors, in particular, frequently open and close frequently, such as rain water or when washing Due to the property of being in contact with water and penetrating into it, it is essential to have waterproofness against liquids such as water penetrating from the outside while maintaining the bonding force against the external vibration continuously applied.

Accordingly, the development of a connector having a more efficient structure of vibration and airtightness with respect to the connector used for the door has been made, but until now, the connector used for the door is easy to manufacture due to its complicated structure when it has a strong durability against vibration. On the other hand, if the airtightness is vulnerable to vibration, development of a connector having both airtightness and durability is urgently required.

Therefore, the present invention was invented in view of the above-mentioned, and by combining with each other by sliding by rotation, the bonding force between the connectors is distributed to a plurality of points to strengthen the bonding force, as well as to maintain the airtightness with the coupling to ensure durability and airtightness The purpose is to meet together.

The present invention for achieving the above object, the connection member is fixed to the door inner panel, the female connector coupled to the mail connector of the device coupled to the connection member, the push of the mail connector inserted into the terminal In order to prevent the non-insertion, it is characterized by consisting of a removable spacer to be inserted into the terminal and the slender holder which is coupled to a plurality of points while surrounding the terminal as a whole and maintains airtightness.
