Connector with U-shaped terminal fittings insert molded in a tubular shaped housing
A connector includes: a connector housing formed in a tubular shape by an insulating synthetic resin; a cover for closing an opening of one end side in an axial direction of the connector housing; and plural terminal fittings formed inside the connector housing by insert molding, one end of the terminal fittings each being arranged in an opening for coupling of the other end side in the axial direction of the connector housing and the other end of the terminal fittings each being connected to one end of an electric wire. The one end of the terminal fittings each led out of one inner wall part of the connector housing traverses the opening for coupling, and a distal end of the terminal fittings each is buried in the other inner wall part opposed to the one inner wall part.
1. A connector comprising:
a connector housing formed in a tubular shape by an insulating synthetic resin;
a cover for closing an opening of one end side in an axial direction of the connector housing; and
plural terminal fittings formed inside the connector housing by insert molding, one end of the terminal fittings each being arranged in an opening for coupling of the other end side in the axial direction of the connector housing and the other end of the terminal fittings each being connected to one end of an electric wire,
wherein the one end of the terminal fittings each led out of one inner wall part of the connector housing traverses the opening for coupling, and a distal end of the terminal fittings each is buried in the other inner wall part opposed to the one inner wall part, and
wherein a portion of the one end of each of the terminal fittings which is buried in the one inner wall part and a portion of the distal end of each of the terminal fittings which is buried in the other inner wall part are folded to form a U-shaped cross section of each of the terminal fittings.
2. The connector as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the connector housing is formed in substantially a rectangular angular tube shape in which the one inner wall part and the other inner wall part are set at sides of long sides and the terminal fittings are equally spaced with each other along a long side of the connector housing.
3. The connector as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the outside of the connector housing is covered with a shield shell.
4. The connector as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the portion of the one end of each of the terminal fittings which is buried in the one inner wall part and the portion of the distal end of each of the terminal fittings which is buried in the other inner wall part which are folded are located linear and parallel to each other.
