Electric wire holder having a hole with an internal diameter smaller than an external diameter of an accommodated electric wire
View Patent ↗The connector is provided with a connector housing ( 3 ) having a holder accommodating chamber ( 31 c ), and a rear holder ( 32 A), with an electric wire ( 21 ) inserted into an electric wire insertion hole ( 39 ) thereof, accommodated within the holder accommodating chamber ( 31 c ). The external diameter dimension (D 1 ) of the electric wire ( 21 ) is larger than the internal diameter dimension (D 2 ) of the electric wire insertion hole ( 39 ) of the rear holder ( 32 A), and the internal diameter dimension (D 4 ) of the holder accommodating chamber ( 31 c ) of the connector housing ( 3 ) is smaller than the external diameter dimension (D 3 ) of the rear holder ( 32 A) with the electric wire ( 21 ) accommodated within the electric wire insertion hole ( 39 ).
1. A connector comprising:
a connector housing provided with a holder accommodating chamber, and
an electric wire holder including an electric wire insertion hole with a substantially constant internal diameter dimension and a substantially constant external diameter dimension, wherein the electric wire holder is configured to receive an electric wire into the electric wire insertion hole and to be accommodated within the holder accommodating chamber,
wherein an external diameter dimension of the electric wire is configured to be larger than the internal diameter dimension of the electric wire insertion hole of the electric wire holder, and
an internal diameter dimension of the holder accommodating chamber of the connector housing is configured to be less than an external diameter dimension of the electric wire holder in a state where the electric wire is accommodated in the electric wire insertion hole, and
wherein the electric wire insertion hole and the electric wire are shaped such that no gaps are formed between the electric wire insertion hole and the electric wise.
2. The connector according to claim 1 , wherein the electric wire holder includes two divided bodies each provided with an electric wire groove, and the electric wire insertion hole is formed by the two electric wire grooves.
3. The connector according to claim 2 , wherein the two divided bodies have a coupling portion for coupling with each other.
4. The connector according to claim 2 , wherein each of the electric wire grooves includes at least one protruding rib extending along an axial direction of the electric wire holder.
5. The connector according to claim 2 , wherein each divided body includes an elastic arm locking portion.
