Case with connector and method of manufacturing case with connector
View Patent ↗A case with connector includes a connector; a case body that has a cylindrical side wall portion and an end wall portion closing one end side of the side wall portion and forming an accommodation portion along with the side wall portion, the case body being formed by insert molding and integrated with the connector at the side wall portion; and an electrical wire that has an end connected to the connector and the other end projecting to the accommodation portion.
1. A case with connector, comprising:
a connector;
a case body that includes a cylindrical side wall portion and an end wall portion closing one end side of the side wall portion and forming an accommodation portion along with the side wall portion, the case body being formed by insert molding and integrated with the connector at the side wall portion; and
an electrical wire that has one end side connected to the connector and another end side projecting into the accommodation portion; and
a retaining mechanism that retains the electrical wire in a state contacting with a terminal disposed inside a housing of the connector.
2. The case with connector according to claim 1 , wherein
the conductive member projects into an inner portion of the accommodation portion in a depth direction.
3. A method of manufacturing a case with connector, comprising:
a connector retention process of causing a mold retain a connector, the mold having a hollow portion into which resin is injected and a conductive member accommodation portion partitioned from the hollow portion, and of accommodating an electrical wire that is connected to a terminal disposed inside a housing of the connector in the conductive member accommodation portion; and
a case formation process of forming a case body by integrating the case body with the connector and accommodating the electric wire in an inside room of the case body with insert molding in which resin is injected into the mold.
