Abstract

A connector includes a housing, a shell, and a holder. The housing has a terminal support that supports a terminal, and an electric wire accommodator through which the electric wire connected to the terminal passes. The shell is fitted on an outer side of the electric wire accommodator from an opposite side of the terminal support. The holder holds the electric wire and is fitted in an inner side of the electric wire accommodator. The electric wire accommodator includes a press-fitter that is press-fitted between the shell and the holder.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A connector comprising:
a housing having a terminal support that supports a terminal, and an electric wire accommodator through which an electric wire connected to the terminal passes; a shell fitted on an outer side of the electric wire accommodator from an opposite side of the terminal support; and a holder that holds the electric wire and is fitted in an inner side of the electric wire accommodator; wherein the electric wire accommodator includes a press-fitter that is press-fitted between the shell and the holder.

2 . The connector according to claim 1 , wherein
the press-fitter has a cantilever shape provided along an inner surface of the shell, and the holder includes a pressurizer that pressurizes the press-fitter toward the inner surface of the shell.

3 . The connector according to claim 2 , wherein
the electric wire accommodator is formed in a cylindrical shape extending in a first direction, the pressurizer is inserted into an inner side of the electric wire accommodator from an opposite side of the terminal support, and the press-fitter extends along the first direction and has, as a free end, an end portion on a side opposite to an end portion on the terminal support side.

4 . The connector according to claim 1 , wherein
the press-fitter has a first press-fitter and a second press-fitter, and the first press-fitter and the second press-fitter are arranged in a direction orthogonal to an assembling direction of the shell with respect to the electric wire accommodator.

5 . The connector according to claim 1 , wherein the press-fitter is in pressure contact with the shell in a plurality of directions.
