Charging inlet device
View Patent ↗A charging inlet device ( 1, 2, 3 ) includes: an inlet housing ( 10 ) fixed to a vehicle body panel (P) with a charging port ( 11 A) open towards an outer side of a vehicle body; a terminal ( 20 ) arranged in the charging port ( 11 A); and a rear connector ( 50 ) mounted to the inlet housing ( 10 ) on an opposite side from the charging port ( 11 A) and having a wire lead-out terminal ( 52 ) connecting the terminal ( 20 ) and an electrical wire (W) routed through the vehicle body.
1. A charging inlet device comprising:
an inlet housing fixed to a vehicle body panel with a charging port open towards an outer side of a vehicle body;
a terminal arranged in the charging port; and
a rear connector mounted to the inlet housing on an opposite side from the charging port and having a wire lead-out terminal connecting the terminal and an electrical wire routed through the vehicle body, wherein
the wire lead-out terminal is fixed to the rear connector,
the wire lead-out terminal comprises:
a first portion extending in an extension direction of the terminal and connected to the terminal, and
a second portion extending in a direction different from the extension direction and connected to the wire, and
the rear connector is a separate member from the terminal.
2. The charging inlet device according to claim 1 , wherein
the first portion of the wire lead-out terminal extends towards the charging port, and
the second portion of the wire lead-out terminal extends in a direction orthogonal to the first portion of the wire lead-out terminal.
3. The charging inlet device according to claim 1 , wherein the wire lead-out terminal is connectable to a removable connector of the electrical wire.
4. A charging inlet device comprising:
