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 that can be 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 the wires to pass through.
- First and second separation restricting portions are formed on the rear wall portion to prevent 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 of connectors.
Benefits: - Enhanced stability of stacked housings. - Improved reliability of wire connections. - Streamlined manufacturing processes.
Commercial Applications: Title: "Innovative Connector Technology for Secure Stacking" This technology can be used in the manufacturing of electronic devices, automotive components, and industrial equipment to improve the reliability and stability of wire connections in stacked housings.
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 keep the wires secure in the stacking direction. 2. What are the potential applications of this connector technology? - The technology can be used in various electronic devices, automotive systems, and industrial machinery for secure wire 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.
