Abstract

Provided is an electric device that includes a connector holder for positioning a connector relative to a control board and fixing a harness. In the electric device, a board-in connector for wire-to-board connection is disposed at an end of a harness for electrical connection, and terminals of the board-in connector are soldered and fixed to terminals in a control board. The electric device includes a connector holder fixed to a housing together with the control board. The connector holder includes a fixation portion for fixing the board-in connector to the connector holder, and a holding portion for holding and fixing the harness.

Claims (42)

1. An electric device in which a board-in connector for wire-to-board connection is disposed at an end of a harness for electrical connection, and a terminal of the board-in connector is soldered and fixed to a terminal in a control board,

the electric device comprising a connector holder fixed to a housing together with the control board, wherein

the connector holder includes a fixation portion to fix the board-in connector to the connector holder, and a holding portion to hold and fix the harness.

2. The electric device according to claim 1 , wherein

the connector holder is provided with a fixation portion to fix the control board.

3. The electric device according to claim 2 , wherein

the connector holder is molded from resin, and,

as the fixation portion to fix the board-in connector to the connector holder, a claw-shaped portion provided to the connector holder is engaged with the board-in connector so as to fix the board-in connector.

4. The electric device according to claim 2 , wherein

the connector holder is molded from resin, and,

as the holding portion to hold and fix the harness, a plurality of claw-shaped portions provided to the connector holder are engaged with the harness so as to hold the harness.

5. The electric device according claim 2 , wherein

an external connector for connection to an external circuit is disposed at an end, of the harness, that is located on a side opposite to the board-in connector side, and

the connector holder is provided with a recess-shaped portion to hold the external connector, or a claw-shaped portion which is engaged with the external connector.

6. The electric device according to claim 2 , wherein

a busbar that serves as a connection terminal to supply power or output AC current is molded integrally with the connector holder, to form a terminal base.

7. The electric device according to claim 1 , wherein

the connector holder is molded from resin, and,

as the fixation portion to fix the board-in connector to the connector holder, a claw-shaped portion provided to the connector holder is engaged with the board-in connector so as to fix the board-in connector.

8. The electric device according to claim 7 , wherein

the connector holder is molded from resin, and,

as the holding portion to hold and fix the harness, a plurality of claw-shaped portions provided to the connector holder are engaged with the harness so as to hold the harness.

9. The electric device according to claim 7 , wherein

an external connector for connection to an external circuit is disposed at an end, of the harness, that is located on a side opposite to the board-in connector side, and

the connector holder is provided with a recess-shaped portion to hold the external connector, or a claw-shaped portion which is engaged with the external connector.

10. The electric device according to claim 7 , wherein

a busbar that serves as a connection terminal to supply power or output AC current is molded integrally with the connector holder, to form a terminal base.

11. The electric device according to claim 1 , wherein

the connector holder is molded from resin, and,

as the holding portion to hold and fix the harness, a plurality of claw-shaped portions provided to the connector holder are engaged with the harness so as to hold the harness.

12. The electric device according claim 11 , wherein

an external connector for connection to an external circuit is disposed at an end, of the harness, that is located on a side opposite to the board-in connector side, and

the connector holder is provided with a recess-shaped portion to hold the external connector, or a claw-shaped portion which is engaged with the external connector.

13. The electric device according to claim 11 , wherein

a busbar that serves as a connection terminal to supply power or output AC current is molded integrally with the connector holder, to form a terminal base.

14. The electric device according to claim 1 , wherein

an external connector for connection to an external circuit is disposed at an end, of the harness, that is located on a side opposite to the board-in connector side, and

the connector holder is provided with a recess-shaped portion to hold the external connector, or a claw-shaped portion which is engaged with the external connector.

15. The electric device according to claim 14 , wherein

a busbar that serves as a connection terminal to supply power or output AC current is molded integrally with the connector holder, to form a terminal base.

16. The electric device according to claim 1 , wherein

a busbar that serves as a connection terminal to supply power or output AC current is molded integrally with the connector holder, to form a terminal base.
