Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A connector includes a terminal including an electric wire connection part electrically connected to a conductive electric wire and an electrical connection part that can be electrically connected to a connection counterpart member; a housing that accommodates and holds the terminal therein; and a heat storage member that is formed in a cylindrical shape by a conductive metal material, that accommodates the electric wire connection part therein, and that covers an outer surface of the electric wire connection part. The heat storage member includes a plurality of inner fins that protrude from an inner surface side and that are disposed while being brought into contact with the outer surface of the electric wire connection part.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1 . A connector, comprising: a terminal that includes an electric wire connection part electrically connected to a conductive electric wire and an electrical connection part that is able to be electrically connected to a connection counterpart member; a housing that accommodates and holds the terminal therein; and a heat storage member that is formed in a cylindrical shape by a conductive metal material, that accommodates the electric wire connection part therein, and that covers an outer surface of the electric wire connection part, wherein the heat storage member includes a plurality of inner fins that protrude from an inner surface side and that are disposed while being brought into contact with the outer surface of the electric wire connection part. 2 . The connector according to claim 1 , further comprising: a terminal holder that is assembled to an end part of the housing and that accommodates the electric wire connection part therein, and a water sealing member that is assembled to the terminal holder and that stops water between an outer surface of the electric wire and an inner surface of the terminal holder, wherein the heat storage member is disposed in a watertight region formed between the electric wire connection part and the terminal holder. 3 . The connector according to claim 1 , wherein the heat storage member includes a plurality of outer fins that protrude from an outer surface side, and that are disposed while being brought into contact with an inner surface of a member located outside the heat storage member. 4 . The connector according to claim 2 , wherein the heat storage member includes a plurality of outer fins that protrude from an outer surface side, and that are disposed while being brought into contact with an inner surface of a member located outside the heat storage member. 5 . The connector according to claim 1 , wherein the inner fins are elastically deformable, and deform according to a shape of the outer surface of the electric wire connection part that is brought into contact with the inner fins. 6 . The connector according to claim 2 , wherein the inner fins are elastically deformable, and deform according to a shape of the outer surface of the electric wire connection part that is brought into contact with the inner fins. 7 . The connector according to claim 3 , wherein the outer fins are elastically deformable, and deform according to a shape of the inner surface of the member that is brought into contact with the outer fins. 8 . The connector according to claim 4 , wherein the outer fins are elastically deformable, and deform according to a shape of the inner surface of the member that is brought into contact with the outer fins.
