Abstract

A connector (C) is formed such that a plurality of terminal insertion holes ( 12 ), into which terminals crimped to end parts of wires ( 40 ) are inserted, are arranged side by side in a width direction of a terminal insertion surface part ( 11 ) on the terminal insertion surface part ( 11 ) of a connector housing ( 10 ), and includes a plurality of guiding portions ( 25 ), ( 26 ) and ( 27 ) provided side by side in the width direction of the terminal insertion surface part ( 11 ) in correspondence with the terminal insertion holes ( 12 ). The guiding portions ( 25 ), ( 26 ) and ( 27 ) are configured to guide the wires ( 40 ) having the terminals inserted into the terminal insertion holes ( 12 ) in a perpendicular direction until the wires ( 40 ) are separated from the terminal insertion surface part ( 11 ) by specified distances.

Claims (9)

1. A connector formed such that a plurality of terminal insertion holes, into which terminals crimped to end parts of wires are inserted, are arranged side by side in a width direction of a terminal insertion surface on the terminal insertion surface part of a connector housing, comprising:

a plurality of guiding portions provided side by side in the width direction of the terminal insertion surface in correspondence with the plurality of terminal insertion holes,

wherein:

the plurality of guiding portions include a plurality of frames at specified distances from the terminal insertion surface part;

the plurality of frames guide the wires having the terminals inserted into the terminal insertion holes in a perpendicular direction until the wires are separated from the terminal insertion surface part by specified distances and are provided so that a distance from the terminal insertion surface is shorter for the frame closer to a side toward which the wires are laterally extended; and

the frame closest to the side toward which the wires are laterally extended includes a supporting rib extending in a laterally extended direction from the frame, supporting the plurality of wires in contact and fixed together with the plurality of wires by a band.

2. A wiring harness, comprising:

the connector of claim 1 ; and

wires having terminals inserted into the terminal insertion holes of the connector housing.
