Connector
A shield connector ( 10 ) includes a housing ( 20 ) and first and second terminals ( 50, 60 ) accommodated in the housing ( 20 ). The housing ( 20 ) includes first recesses ( 17 ) for positioning first connecting portions ( 51 ) in a rotation stop state by having first protrusions ( 52 ) fitted therein, second recesses ( 18 ) for positioning second connecting portions ( 61 ) in a rotation stop state by having second protrusions ( 62 ) fitted therein and terminal connecting portions ( 13 ) to which the first and second connecting portions ( 51, 62 ) are to be connected by coaxially arranging first bolt holes ( 54 ) and second bolt holes ( 64 ) as the first and second connecting portions are positioned.
1. A connector, comprising a housing and at least one first terminal and at least one second terminal at least partly accommodated in the housing, wherein:
the first terminal includes a first connecting portion with a first bolt hole and at least one first protrusion formed on the first connecting portion;
the second terminal includes a second connecting portion with a second bolt hole and at least one second protrusion formed on the second connecting portion; and
the housing includes at least one first recess for positioning the first connecting portion in a rotation stop state by having the first protrusion at least partly fitted therein, at least one second recess for positioning the second connecting portion in a rotation stop state by having the second protrusion at least partly fitted therein and a terminal connecting portion to which the first and second connecting portions are to be connected by substantially coaxially arranging the first and second bolt holes as the first and second connecting portions are positioned.
2. A connector of claim 1 , wherein the first protrusion includes at least one retaining portion for positioning the first connecting portion in a retained state by being locked to the first recess from an inner side.
3. The connector of claim 1 , wherein the first connecting portion is substantially flush with the first protrusion and the second connecting portion is substantially flush with the second protrusion.
4. The connector of claim 1 , wherein the first and second connecting portions are connected in a crossing arrangement.
5. The connector of claim 1 , wherein the first and second terminals are fixed immovably to the terminal connecting portion.
6. The connector of claim 1 , wherein the second terminal is to be connected to a wire and the housing includes a terminal inserting portion, into which the second terminal is to be inserted, and a guide for guiding the second terminal from a back end portion of the terminal inserting portion toward the terminal connecting portion.
7. The connector of claim 1 , wherein the first terminal is an intermediate terminal to be connected to a connecting terminal connectable to a mating connector via a braided wire.
8. The connector of claim 1 , wherein the housing comprises a floating housing which is mounted therein with a specified clearance so as to be loosely movable in vertical and lateral directions within a range of the clearance.
