Abstract

A harness with sensor includes a sensor including a plurality of detection units to detect a physical quantity, a cable including a plurality of electric wires connected to the plurality of sensor units and a sheath collectively covering the plurality of electric wires, and a connector provided at an end portion of the cable opposite to the sensor. The connector includes a plurality of connector-connecting portions to respectively output detection signals of the plurality of sensor units.

Claims (28)

1. A harness with sensor, comprising:

a sensor comprising a plurality of detection units to detect a physical quantity;

a cable comprising a plurality of electric wires connected to the plurality of sensor units and a sheath collectively covering the plurality of electric wires; and

a connector provided at an end portion of the cable opposite to the sensor,

wherein the connector comprises;

a plurality of connector-connecting portions to respectively output detection signals of the plurality of sensor units; and

a connector housing holding a plurality of terminal fittings respectively connected to the plurality of electric wires, and

wherein the connector housing comprises:

a plurality of terminal fitting accommodating portions respectively accommodating the plurality of terminal fittings; and

a sheath accommodating portion accommodating the sheath and comprising a resin integrally molded with the plurality of terminal fitting accommodating portions.

2. The harness with sensor according to claim 1 , wherein the sensor comprises a sensor housing holding the plurality of sensor units,

wherein one end of the sheath is embedded in the sensor housing, and

wherein the other end of the sheath is embedded in the connector housing.

3. The harness with sensor according to claim 1 , wherein the sheath is solid and directly covers the plurality of electric wires.

4. The harness with sensor according to claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of detection units detects a rotational speed of a wheel.

5. The harness with sensor according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of terminal fittings are partially embedded in the connector housing.

6. The harness with sensor according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of terminal fittings are held by the connector housing.

7. The harness with sensor according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of connector-connecting portions provided on the connector are a same number as a number of the plurality of detection units and respectively output the detection signals of the detection units.

8. The harness with sensor according to claim 1 , wherein one of the plurality of detection units detects temperature.

9. The harness with sensor according to claim 1 , wherein one of the plurality of detection units detects temperature, and

wherein a second of the plurality of detection units detects a rotational speed of a wheel.

10. The harness with sensor according to claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of connector-connecting portions have a same shape.

11. The harness with sensor according to claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of connector-connecting portions have a different shape.

12. The harness with sensor according to claim 1 , wherein connection directions between the plurality of connector-connecting portions and respectively corresponding other connectors are different from each other.

13. The harness with sensor according to claim 12 , wherein an angle formed by the connection directions between the plurality of connector-connecting portions is not less than 30° and not more than 150°.

14. The harness with sensor according to claim 12 , wherein the connection directions between the plurality of connector-connecting portions are parallel to each other.

15. The harness with sensor according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of electric wires provided in the cable are twice as many as a number of the plurality of detection units.

16. The harness with sensor according to claim 15 , wherein the plurality of connector-connecting portions provided on the connector are a same number as the number of the plurality of detection units and respectively output the detection signals of the detection units.
