Abstract

A noise filter includes: a capacitor-side accommodating body including capacitors, a grounding conductor connected to one electric connector, and conductors connected to the other electric connector; an inductor-side accommodating body including inductors and conductors connected to the inductors; an accommodating body connecting structure that connects the capacitor-side accommodating body to the inductor-side accommodating body by engaging a holding groove with a protrusion; a terminal connecting structure that electrically connects the capacitors to the inductors, and connects the capacitor-side accommodating body to the inductor-side accommodating body by connecting one terminal connector of a connection terminal fitting to a terminal connector of a capacitor-side conductor, and connecting the other terminal connector of the connection terminal fitting to a terminal connector of an inductor-side conductor.

Claims (20)

1. A noise filter comprising:

a capacitor-side accommodating body that includes at least one capacitor, a grounding conductor electrically connected to one electric connector of the at least one capacitor, and a capacitor-side conductor electrically connected to another electric connector of the at least one capacitor;

an inductor-side accommodating body that includes at least one inductor and an inductor-side conductor electrically connected to the at least one inductor;

an accommodating body connecting structure that includes a first engaging portion provided in the capacitor-side accommodating body and a second engaging portion provided in the inductor-side accommodating body, and connects the capacitor-side accommodating body to the inductor-side accommodating body by engaging the first engaging portion with the second engaging portion; and

at least one terminal connecting structure that electrically connects the at least one capacitor to the at least one inductor, and connects the capacitor-side accommodating body to the inductor-side accommodating body by connecting one terminal connector of a connection terminal fitting to a terminal connector of the capacitor-side conductor, and connecting another terminal connector of the connection terminal fitting to a terminal connector of the inductor-side conductor.

2. The noise filter according to claim 1 , wherein

one of the terminal connector of the capacitor-side conductor and the one terminal connector of the connection terminal fitting is a male tab terminal, and the other one thereof is a female box terminal, and

one of the terminal connector of the inductor-side conductor and the other terminal connector of the connection terminal fitting is a male tab terminal, and the other one thereof is a female box terminal.

3. The noise filter according to claim 1 , wherein

the terminal connecting structure is provided for each ones of the at least one capacitor.

4. The noise filter according to claim 2 , wherein

the terminal connecting structure is provided for each ones of the at least one capacitor.

5. A wire harness comprising:

a noise filter; and

electric wires on an input side and an output side thereof, the electric wires are pulled out from the noise filter, wherein

the noise filter includes

a capacitor-side accommodating body that includes at least one capacitor, a grounding conductor electrically connected to one electric connector of the at least one capacitor, and a capacitor-side conductor electrically connected to another electric connector of the at least one capacitor,

an inductor-side accommodating body that includes at least one inductor and an inductor-side conductor electrically connected to the at least one inductor,

an accommodating body connecting structure that includes a first engaging portion provided in the capacitor-side accommodating body and a second engaging portion provided in the inductor-side accommodating body, and connects the capacitor-side accommodating body to the inductor-side accommodating body by engaging the first engaging portion with the second engaging portion, and

at least one terminal connecting structure that electrically connects the at least one capacitor to the at least one inductor, and connects the capacitor-side accommodating body to the inductor-side accommodating body by connecting one terminal connector of a connection terminal fitting to a terminal connector of the capacitor-side conductor, and connecting another terminal connector of the connection terminal fitting to a terminal connector of the inductor-side conductor.
