Abstract

Provided is a cable holding device including: a housing includes a terminal having a crimping portion, a cable holding member includes an insertion hole and a guide portion, the crimping portion is insertable into the cable holding member through the insertion hole, the guide portion is provided in the insertion hole, has such a recessed shape that the crimping portion inserted into the insertion hole is fittable therein, and an inner wall of the guide portion includes a first inner wall and a second inner wall provided on a far side with respect to the first inner wall in the insertion hole, and a horizontal width of the second inner wall is set smaller than a horizontal width of the first inner wall such that the second inner wall restricts expansion of a horizontal width of the crimping portion when the crimping portion crimps the cable.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A cable holding device comprising:
a housing; and a cable holding member, wherein the housing includes a terminal having a crimping portion, the cable holding member includes an opening, a through-hole, an insertion hole, and a guide portion, the opening is formed in a first surface of the cable holding member, the through-hole is configured to hold the cable with the cable inserted from the first surface to a second surface, which faces the first surface, of the cable holding member through the opening, the insertion hole is formed in a third surface of the cable holding member parallel with a cable insertion direction, communicates with the through-hole, and is configured such that the crimping portion is insertable into the cable holding member through the insertion hole, the guide portion is provided in the insertion hole, has such a recessed shape that the crimping portion inserted into the insertion hole is fittable therein, and has a hole in which the cable is insertable and holdable therein, and an inner wall of the guide portion includes a first inner wall and a second inner wall provided on a far side with respect to the first inner wall in the insertion hole, and a horizontal width of the second inner wall is set smaller than a horizontal width of the first inner wall such that the second inner wall restricts expansion of a horizontal width of the crimping portion when the crimping portion crimps the cable.

2 . The cable holding device according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a boundary portion is formed between the first inner wall and the second inner wall.

3 . The cable holding device according to claim 2 , wherein
the boundary portion is an inclined portion having an inclination.

4 . A cable connector device comprising:
the cable holding device according to claim 1 ; a shell covering an outer peripheral surface of the cable holding device; and a case covering an outer peripheral surface of the shell.

5 . A cable holding member including an opening, a through-hole, an insertion hole, and a guide portion,
wherein the opening is formed in a first surface of the cable holding member, the through-hole is configured to hold the cable with the cable inserted from the first surface to a second surface, which faces the first surface, of the cable holding member through the opening, the insertion hole is formed in a third surface of the cable holding member parallel with a cable insertion direction, communicates with the through-hole, and is configured such that a crimping portion that crimps the cable is insertable into the cable holding member through the insertion hole, the guide portion is provided in the insertion hole, has such a recessed shape that the crimping portion inserted into the insertion hole is fittable therein, and has a hole in which the cable is insertable and holdable therein, and an inner wall of the guide portion includes a first inner wall and a second inner wall provided on a far side with respect to the first inner wall in the insertion hole, and a horizontal width of the second inner wall is set smaller than a horizontal width of the first inner wall such that the second inner wall restricts expansion of a horizontal width of the crimping portion when the crimping portion crimps the cable.

6 . The cable holding member according to claim 5 , wherein
a boundary portion is formed between the first inner wall and the second inner wall.

7 . The cable holding member according to claim 6 , wherein
the boundary portion is an inclined portion having an inclination.
