Abstract

A connector includes a plurality of conductors, a magnetic core, and a housing, the housing includes a housing member that is provided with a housing chamber that houses the plurality of conductors and the magnetic core, an abutment surface on which a core assembling portion abuts, and an opening that is arranged to face the abutment surface at an interval and exposes the core assembling portion housed in the housing chamber outward, the core assembling portion being composed of the respective intermediate portions of the plurality of conductors and the magnetic core housed in the housing chamber; a cover member that closes the opening; and a pressing member that is sandwiched between the cover member and the core assembling portion by pressing the core assembling portion to push the core assembling portion against the abutment surface when the housing member and the cover member are in an assembled state.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A connector comprising:
a plurality of conductors that are electrically connected to counterparts; an annular shaped magnetic core that includes an insertion hole into which respective intermediate portions of the plurality of conductors are inserted; and a housing that houses the plurality of conductors and the magnetic core, wherein the housing includes: a housing member that is provided with a housing chamber that houses the plurality of conductors and the magnetic core, an abutment surface on which a core assembling portion abuts, and an opening that is arranged to face the abutment surface at an interval and exposes the core assembling portion housed in the housing chamber outward, the core assembling portion being composed of the respective intermediate portions of the plurality of conductors and the magnetic core housed in the housing chamber; a cover member that closes the opening; and a pressing member that is sandwiched between the cover member and the core assembling portion by pressing the core assembling portion to push the core assembling portion against the abutment surface when the housing member and the cover member are in an assembled state.

2 . The connector according to claim 1 , wherein
the pressing member is integrated with the cover member.

3 . The connector according to claim 1 , wherein
the conductor includes: a first electrical connection portion that is electrically connected to a first counterpart conductor prepared for each conductor; a second electrical connection portion that is electrically connected to a second counterpart conductor prepared for each conductor; a bent portion that is bent between a side of the first electrical connection portion and a side of the second electrical connection portion; and an intermediate portion that is provided between the first electrical connection portion and the bent portion.

4 . The connector according to claim 2 , wherein
the conductor includes: a first electrical connection portion that is electrically connected to a first counterpart conductor prepared for each conductor; a second electrical connection portion that is electrically connected to a second counterpart conductor prepared for each conductor; a bent portion that is bent between a side of the first electrical connection portion and a side of the second electrical connection portion; and an intermediate portion that is provided between the first electrical connection portion and the bent portion.

5 . The connector according to claim 3 , wherein
the conductor includes: a bus bar that includes the first electrical connection portion, the second electrical connection portion, the bent portion, and the intermediate portion; a first terminal fitting that is physically and electrically connected to the first electrical connection portion and is physically and electrically connected to the first counterpart conductor; and a second terminal fitting that is physically and electrically connected to the second electrical connection portion and is physically and electrically connected to the second counterpart conductor.

6 . The connector according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a liquid-proof member that is arranged between the opening of the housing member and the cover member and fills a gap between the opening of the housing member and the cover member to suppress permeation of a liquid into the housing chamber.

7 . The connector according to claim 2 , further comprising:
a liquid-proof member that is arranged between the opening of the housing member and the cover member and fills a gap between the opening of the housing member and the cover member to suppress permeation of a liquid into the housing chamber.

8 . The connector according to claim 3 , further comprising:
a liquid-proof member that is arranged between the opening of the housing member and the cover member and fills a gap between the opening of the housing member and the cover member to suppress permeation of a liquid into the housing chamber.

9 . The connector according to claim 5 , further comprising:
a liquid-proof member that is arranged between the opening of the housing member and the cover member and fills a gap between the opening of the housing member and the cover member to suppress permeation of a liquid into the housing chamber.
