CONNECTOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18570573 titled 'CONNECTOR

The patent application aims to prevent the separation of housings stacked on top of each other by providing a connector with housings, terminal fittings, wires, and a rear wall portion.

  • The connector includes housings stacked on each other.
  • Terminal fittings are accommodated into the respective housings.
  • Wires are fixed to the terminal fittings and drawn out rearward.
  • The rear wall portion is molded as a single part and includes a through hole for wire passage.
  • First and second separation restricting portions on the rear wall restrict separation of wires in the stacking direction.

Potential Applications: - Electrical connectors in various electronic devices. - Automotive wiring systems. - Industrial machinery connections.

Problems Solved: - Prevents separation of stacked housings. - Ensures secure wire connections. - Simplifies assembly and maintenance processes.

Benefits: - Enhanced reliability of electrical connections. - Improved durability of stacked housings. - Streamlined manufacturing and installation procedures.

Commercial Applications: Title: "Innovative Connector Technology for Secure Electrical Connections" This technology can be utilized in the electronics, automotive, and industrial sectors to enhance the reliability and durability of electrical connections, leading to improved overall performance and reduced maintenance costs.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the connector prevent the separation of stacked housings?

  - The connector includes separation restricting portions on the rear wall to prevent wire separation in the stacking direction.

2. What are the potential applications of this connector technology?

  - The technology can be applied in various electronic devices, automotive wiring systems, and industrial machinery connections.


Original Abstract Submitted

Separation of housings in a stacked state can be suppressed. A connector () is provided with housings () to be stacked on each other, terminal fittings () to be accommodated into the respective housings (), wires () fixed to the terminal fittings () and drawn out rearward, and a rear wall portion (). The rear wall portion () includes a through hole () for allowing passage of the wires () and is molded as a single part. The rear wall portion () is formed with first separation restricting portions () and second separation restricting portions () for restricting separation of the wires () arranged in a stacking direction of the respective housings () from the other wires () in an opposite direction along the stacking direction.
