A connector including a housing which formed with a work opening in an outer surface on a side of an outer corner of the L-like bent shape of the housing, further includes a lid attached to the work opening, a fixed terminal configured to be inserted through the external-wire leading portion and accommodated in the housing, and a flexible conductor connecting the terminal to one end of the fixed terminal and including an external-force absorbing portion sagging between both ends of the flexible conductor. The other end of the fixed terminal is connected to a conductor of the external wire, and an intermediate portion of the fixed terminal is fixed to the housing and elongates along the axis of the external wire.
1. A connector comprising:
a terminal configured to be connected to a mating terminal;
a front holder accommodating the terminal therein;
a housing having an L-like bent shape, including a holder inserting portion into which the front holder is inserted in an alignable manner and an external-wire leading portion from which an external wire is led out, and formed with a work opening in an outer surface on a side of an outer corner of the L-like bent shape, wherein a center line of the holder inserting portion extends in a holder inserting direction in which the front holder is inserted into the holder inserting portion, a center line of the external-wire leading portion extends along an axis of the external wire, and the center line of the holder inserting portion intersects the center line of the external-wire leading portion to form the housing into the L-like bent shape;
a lid member attached to the work opening;
a fixed terminal configured to be inserted through the external-wire leading portion, and accommodated in the housing, wherein one end of the fixed terminal is connected to a conductor of the external wire, and an intermediate portion of the fixed terminal is fixed to the housing and elongates along the axis of the external wire;
a flexible conductor connecting the terminal to the other end of the fixed terminal, and including an external-force absorbing portion sagging between both ends of the flexible conductor.
2. The connector according to claim 1 , wherein
the intermediate portion of the fixed terminal is fastened and fixed to the housing by a bolt which is inserted through the work opening.
3. The connector according to claim 1 , wherein
a portion of the fixed terminal to which the flexible conductor is connected is bent and inclined toward the work opening.
4. The connector according to claim 1 , wherein
a shield shell covering the housing and configured to be fixed to an electric apparatus is fixed to the housing by a bolt.
