Automotive electrical wiring connector Field of the invention Background
Connectors for electrically connecting electrical systems of a motor vehicle are known in the art. In motor vehicles, connectors are required to be adapted to pass through small openings such as through a hollow shaft while being retained once a given position has been reached.
In many cases, standard connectors are not capable of being passed a standard hollow shaft so they should be designed for this purpose which adversely affects the functionality of the connector.
In this regard, solutions have been proposed in the prior art. For example, document DE202008004542 discloses a connector for electrically connecting an electrical system of a motor vehicle and a mirror unit. The connector comprises at least three connecting elements are divided into at least two plug segments. The plug segments may be arranged in different
configurations in which dimensions are different in order to allow the connector to be passed through a hollow shaft. Said different configurations of the plug segments may be obtained by having the plug segments pivotable to each other.
However, this solution involves the use of pivotable plug segments which renders the connector complex involving a great modification on the connector. Summary
An automotive electrical wiring connector is disclosed herein which it has been found to be simple for insertion through a small opening such as a hollow shaft, and effective as it can keep the standard connection
configuration.
The present connector comprises a body having at least one receiving portion for receiving an electrical conductor end of a cable. The might be for example three receiving portions for three cables. The electrical conductor end of the cables is intended to be connected to corresponding electrical conductor ends of another cables.
The body of the present connector comprises a lid for covering the electrical conductor receiving portion. The lid may be hinged to the connector body.
The lid is suitable to be in several positions:
- at least one operating position in which the lid is closed to the body. In this operating position, the lid itself retains the at least one electrical conductor therein and in turn it also retains the connector body through the small opening; and
- at least one non-operating position in which the lid is open. In this non-operating position, the lid itself allows the at least one electrical conductor to be accessed and released.
In some embodiments of the present connector, the lid may be suitable to be at least in a third additional position:
- at least one intermediate position. In such intermediate position, the lid substantially protrudes from the body such that it retains the at least one electrical conductor therein and capable of being flexed when passing through the small opening.
The body of the connector may further comprise at least one lateral elastic leg, such as for example two, arranged at opposite sides of the body. Such at least one lateral elastic leg may have an inclined portion suitable for facilitating insertion of the connector body inside the small opening.
It is preferred that the body of the lid includes at least one flange. Said flange is adapted to be coupled to a coupling portion of the connector body in order to retain the lid in the above mentioned operating position or in the above mentioned intermediate position.
Said coupling portion may comprise a body provided with at least two projections. Such projections project outwards into at least one corresponding hollow portion formed in the flange for defining said lid operating and intermediate positions. In some embodiments of the connector, the lid may include an inner retaining portion. Said inner retaining portion may protrude inwards for retaining the at least one electrical conductor fitted therein in at least one of the above mentioned lid operating position and lid intermediate position. In addition, the lid may include an outer retaining portion. Said outer retaining portion may protrude outwards for retaining the connector body in at least one of the above mentioned lid operating position and lid intermediate position.
The above described connector is efficient for insertion through a small opening such as a hollow shaft, and effective as it can keep the standard connection configuration. The connector dimensions and its alignment on the connection area are not affected because the connector body does not suffering from structural modifications. In use, the above described connector is easy to fit and insert and it has been shown to provide improved safety as the lid provides extra retention both the connector body and the cable terminals avoiding the connector from coming out of the opening, shaft, etc.
Additional objects, advantages and features of embodiments of the present connector disclosed herein will become apparent to those skilled in the art upon examination of the description, or may be learned by practice thereof.

Detailed description of embodiments
In the example shown in the figures 1 -5 of the drawings an automotive electrical wiring connector is shown, for example, for use in electric rear mirror mechanisms. The wiring connector 100 is suitable for being inserted through a small opening such as standard 16 mm inner diameter hollow shaft 1 10 as it will be described hereinbelow.
The connector 100 comprises a body 120 having standard dimensions, such as for example 19,2 mm wide. The body 120 has three receiving portions 130 for receiving corresponding electrical conductor ends of respective cables (not shown in the drawings) to be connected to corresponding electrical conductor ends of another cables.
The body 120 of the connector 100 comprises a lid 140 that is hinged to the body 120. The lid 140 is sized for covering the electrical conductor receiving portions 130 and it comprises an inner retaining portion 150 for each receiving portions 130. In the embodiment shown, the lid 140 has three inner retaining portions 150. The inner retaining portions 150 protrude inwards each conductor receiving portion 130. In addition, the lid 140 includes a pair of flanges 160 adapted to be coupled to a coupling portion 170 of the connector body 120. Each flange 160 has a hollow portion 180 for receiving a projections 190 formed in one end of the coupling portion 170 for retaining the lid.
The lid 140 can be thus arranged in an operating position as shown in figure 1 of the drawings, where it is closed to the body 120 so that is can be passed through the interior 1 15 of the hollow shaft 1 10. In this lid operating position, the lid retains the electrical conductors inside the conductor receiving portions 130 through the inner retaining portions 150. As the lid 140 is also provided with an outer retaining portion 200 protruding outwards, it retains the connector body 120 when in said lid operating position as shown in figure 1 preventing it from being moved relative to the shaft 1 10.
