Abstract

A connector connecting member ( 10 ) is used to connect holding-side connectors ( 60 ) to device-side connectors ( 80 ) respectively provided in solenoids ( 90 ) serving as a plurality of electrical devices, and configured as a plate ( 11 ) including connector holding portions ( 12 ) and restrictions ( 13 ). A plurality of the connector holding portions ( 12 ) are arranged side by side in a direction intersecting a connecting direction. The restrictions ( 13 ) are arranged adjacent to the connector holding portions ( 12 ), restrict movements of the solenoids ( 90 ) by coming into contact with the solenoids ( 90 ) and align the holding-side connectors ( 60 ) at positions connectable to the device-side connectors ( 80 ).

Claims (8)

1. A connector connecting member for connecting holding-side connectors to device-side connectors provided in electrical devices, comprising:

connector holding portions arranged side by side in a direction intersecting a connecting direction of the device-side connectors and the holding-side connectors and configured to hold the holding-side connectors; and

restricting portions arranged adjacent to the connector holding portions and configured to restrict movements of the electrical devices by contacting the electrical devices and aligning the holding-side connectors at positions connectable to the device-side connectors;

the restricting portions being arranged at both sides across the connector holding portions.

2. The connector connecting member of claim 1 , wherein the connector connecting member is constituted by a plate, the connector holding portions are recesses open at intervals on one side edge of the plate, and the restricting portions project along plate surfaces of the plate from another side edge facing the one side edge.

3. The connector connecting member of claim 1 , wherein the connector connecting member is moved toward the device-side connectors in a connecting process with the holding-side connectors held by the connector holding portions, and the restricting portions have stopper surfaces for stopping a movement of the connector connecting member by coming into contact with the electrical devices.

4. A connector connecting structure, characterized in that the holding-side connectors held by the connector holding portions in the connector connecting member of claim 3 are connected to the corresponding device-side connectors.

5. A connector connecting structure, characterized in that the holding-side connectors held by the connector holding portions in the connector connecting member of claim 1 are connected to the corresponding device-side connectors.
