Connector including a housing into which a cable is inserted and a rear housing to guide the cable and maintain shapes of portions of the cable
A connector includes: a housing into which a cable is inserted; and a rear housing mounted on the housing and guiding the cable extending from the housing to maintain shapes of portions and of the cable, the portions and being in the vicinity of the housing.
1. A connector comprising:
a housing into which a cable is inserted;
an exterior component mounted on the housing, configured to cover the cable extending from the housing; and
a rear housing having a cylindrical portion mounted on the housing and provide inside the exterior component, configured to guide the cable extending from the housing to maintain a desired bend radius of a portion of the cable, the portion being in the vicinity of the housing, the guiding of the cable by the rear housing is made as the cable is inserted into the cylindrical portion of the rear housing, the rear housing is divided into at least two components by a first dividing surface on which a central axis of the cylindrical portion is positioned, the cable extending from the housing linearly extends only by a predetermined short distance and then is bent in an arc shape so that a central axis of the cable is positioned in one plane, the cylindrical portion of the rear housing guides the portion of the cable linearly extending by the predetermined small distance and the portion of the cable bent in the arc shape, the rear housing is divided into a first component, a second component, and a third component, the first component is one of the at least two components into which the rear housing is divided by the first dividing surface and is a component engaged with a convex surface of the cable bent in the arc shape, the second component is one of two components into which a component engaged with a concave surface of the cable bent in the arc shape is further divided by a second dividing surface, the component engaged with the concave surface of the cable bent in the arc shape being the other one of the at least two components into which the rear housing is divided by the first dividing surface, the second dividing surface is positioned on a boundary between the portion of the cable linearly extending only by the predetermined short distance and the portion of the cable extending while being bent in the arc shape and is a plane orthogonal to the central axis of the cable, and the third component is the other one of the two components into which the component engaged with the concave surface of the cable bent in the arc shape is divided by the second dividing surface.
2. A connector comprising: a housing into which a cable is inserted; an exterior component mounted on the housing, configured to cover the cable extending from the housing; a rear housing having a cylindrical portion mounted on the housing and provided inside the exterior component, configured to guide the cable extending from the housing to maintain a desired bend radius of a portion of the cable, the portion being in the vicinity of the housing; and a sealing material into which the cable is inserted and which is mounted in the housing to seal between the housing and the cable, wherein one end portion of the rear housing is inserted into the housing to prevent the sealing material from being detached from the housing, the guiding of the cable by the rear housing is made as the cable is inserted into the cylindrical portion of the rear housing, the rear housing is divided into at least two components by a first dividing surface on which a central axis of the cylindrical portion is positioned,
the cable extending from the housing linearly extends only by a predetermined short distance and then is bent in an arc shape so that a central axis of the cable is positioned in one plane,
the cylindrical portion of the rear housing guides the portion of the cable linearly extending by the predetermined small distance and the portion of the cable bent in the arc shape,
the rear housing is divided into a first component, a second component, and a third component,
the first component is one of the at least two components into which the rear housing is divided by the first dividing surface and is a component engaged with a convex surface of the cable bent in the arc shape,
the second component is one of two components into which a component engaged with a concave surface of the cable bent in the arc shape is further divided by a second dividing surface, the component engaged with the concave surface of the cable bent in the arc shape being the other one of the at least two components into which the rear housing is divided by the first dividing surface,
the second dividing surface is positioned on a boundary between the portion of the cable linearly extending only by the predetermined short distance and the portion of the cable extending while being bent in the arc shape and is a plane orthogonal to the central axis of the cable, and
the third component is the other one of the two components into which the component engaged with the concave surface of the cable bent in the arc shape is divided by the second dividing surface.
