Electric wire connection structure having a mold unit hole
View Patent ↗An electric flat cable wire connection structure for connecting to a mating connector has a plurality of individual electric wires, a plate-shaped intermediate member, a contact part, and a coupler. The plurality of individual electric wires are arranged in a row. The plate-shaped intermediate member has an electric wire connecting part to which the respective ends of the plurality of individual electric wires are connected. The contact part is received by the mating connector. The coupler grasps the intermediate member to which the plurality of individual electric wires are connected for guiding the intermediate member to a predetermined position of the mating connector.
1. An electric wire connection structure for collectively connecting to a mating connector for a flat cable, comprising:
a plurality of individual electric wires arranged in a row,
a plate-shaped intermediate member which has an electric wire connecting part to which the respective ends of the plurality of individual electric wires are connected, and a contact part received by the mating connector,
a coupler having first and second coupler members that grasps the intermediate member to which the plurality of individual electric wires are connected, for guiding the intermediate member to a predetermined position of the mating connector, and
a hole piercing the first coupler member and formed on a side facing the electric wire connecting part.
2. The electric wire connection structure in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the coupler grasps the end part of the insulation covering of the individual electric wires.
3. The electric wire connection structure in accordance with claim 2 , wherein the individual electric wires are connected by solder to the electric wire connecting part.
4. The electric wire connection structure in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the electric wire connection structure further comprises a mold unit consisting of an insulative material that embeds the hole.
5. The electric wire connection structure in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the coupler further comprises a lock unit for engaging with the mating connector.
