Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

There is provided a connector including: an electric wire; a terminal connected to the electric wire; a housing having an accommodation space inside the housing, the accommodation space accommodating a connection portion between the electric wire and the terminal; a seal member configured to seal an opening portion of the accommodation space to isolate the connection portion accommodated in the accommodation space from outside; and a heat storage member disposed in the accommodation space to surround the connection portion. The heat storage member is deformable to elastically expand and contract in accordance with a shape of the accommodation space. A first part of the heat storage member is in contact with an inner surface of the housing defining the accommodation space, and a second part of the heat storage member is in contact with an outer surface of the connection portion.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A connector comprising: an electric wire; a terminal connected to the electric wire; a housing having an accommodation space inside the housing, the accommodation space accommodating a connection portion between the electric wire and the terminal; a seal member configured to seal an opening portion of the accommodation space to isolate the connection portion accommodated in the accommodation space from outside; and a heat storage member disposed in the accommodation space to surround the connection portion, wherein the heat storage member is deformable to elastically expand and contract in accordance with a shape of the accommodation space, and a first part of the heat storage member is in contact with an inner surface of the housing defining the accommodation space, and a second part of the heat storage member is in contact with an outer surface of the connection portion. 2 . The connector according to claim 1 , wherein the heat storage member has a three-dimensional structure made of a metal wire material. 3 . The connector according to claim 2 , wherein the heat storage member has a three-dimensional structure in which a plate-shaped body made of the wire material is wound to surround the connection portion.
