Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a cable alignment structure of a connector.

[Conventional technology]

Connectors for connecting to external cables are mounted on the printed circuit boards that make up various electronic devices. External cable side connector (hereinafter referred to as connector) 1 that fits into this printed circuit board side connector
0 is a plurality of contacts 1 as shown in FIG.
a connector body 12 having a connector body 1;
It consists of cover bodies 13 and 13' that are assembled into the rear part of the vehicle. The connector body 12 has a plurality of contacts 11.
The contact 11 has a contact portion 11a protruding from one side of the connector body 12 that contacts a contact of a mating printed circuit board side connector (not shown), and a contact portion 11a protruding from the other side of the connector body 12. A connecting portion 11b connected to the cable 14 is exposed from the connector body 12. The tip of the connecting portion 11b has a notch groove 11c, and this notch groove 11c
The individual cables 14 that constitute the external cable 15
Insert and push to connect. By doing so, the insulation coating 14a of the individual cable 14 is cut off by the notch groove 11c, and the internal conductor of the individual cable 14 is brought into pressure contact with the notch groove 11c. On the other hand, on the upper surface of the cover bodies 13, 13', as shown in FIG. 11 connection parts 11
It is provided at a position corresponding to b.

Therefore, in order to attach the connector 10 to the external cable 15, each individual cable 14 is first pushed and held in the groove 13a of the corresponding cover body 13, 13'. Next, after positioning the cover body 13 on the rear part of the connector body 12, the cover bodies 13, 13' are pressed toward the connector body 12 and assembled using a press machine or the like using a press-fitting jig. At this time, the individual cables 14 held and positioned in the grooves 13a enter the notched grooves 11c formed in the connecting portions 11b of the contacts 11 and are connected as described above.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

However, a large number of individual cables 14 extending separately from each other from the external cable 15 are held in alignment within the cover body 13, but become entangled with each other outside the cover body 13 as shown in FIG. 3b. It was hot. Therefore, when assembling the cover body 13 into the connector body 12 using a pressure welding jig, the individual cables 14 intertwined in the pressure welding jig interfere with each other, causing malfunction within the pressure welding jig, and greatly reducing work efficiency. It was.

Furthermore, when the individual cable 14 is pushed into the notch groove 11c formed in the connecting portion 11b of the contact 11, all the tensile force in the direction of arrow X generated in the individual cable 14 is absorbed by the clamping force acting between the groove 13a and the individual cable 14. I had to accept it only. Therefore, the individual cables 14 are likely to shift or come off from the cover body 13, and there is a risk of incomplete pressure contact with the contacts 11. Therefore, the present invention is an attempt to solve the above-mentioned problems, and is to provide an inexpensive cable alignment structure for a connector that can align and fix individual cables outside the cover body without requiring any special mechanism. It is about providing.

[Means for solving problems]

The present invention provides a connector comprising a connector body having a large number of contacts, and a cover body that can connect individual cables to the contacts all at once by being coupled to the connector body. An adhesive member for adhesively positioning the individual cables is attached.

With the above structure, the individual cables that are aligned and fixed inside the cover body are also aligned and adhesively fixed by the adhesive member outside the cover body.

Therefore, it is possible to prevent malfunctions of the pressure welding jig due to misalignment of the individual cables, and since the individual cables are attached to the cover body with further increased holding force by the adhesive member, the individual cables are attached to the cover body during pressure welding. It has also become possible to prevent the cable from slipping or coming off. Therefore, it is possible to obtain an inexpensive connector cable alignment structure that improves workability and allows reliable pressure connection.

〔Example〕

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows a partially cutaway perspective view of the individual cables aligned and fixed to the cover body.
Since most of the configuration in the figure is the same as that in FIGS. 3a and 3b, the same or corresponding parts as in FIGS.

That is, the difference from FIGS. 3a and 3b is that an insulating adhesive member 16 is attached to a surface 13b of the cover 13 opposite to the surface where the groove 13a is formed. This adhesive member 16 is set to have a dimension larger than that of the cover body 13 in a direction perpendicular to the direction in which the grooves 13a of the cover body 13 are arranged. Therefore groove 13
When the end of the adhesive member 16 is aligned with one end of the cover body 13 in the direction perpendicular to the arrangement direction of a,
As shown in the figure, from the other end of the cover body 13, the adhesive member 1
A portion of 6 extends to expose the adhesive surface 16a.

With this configuration, the external cable 15
In order to fix the longer individual cables 14 to the cover body 13, the individual cables 14 are inserted into the corresponding grooves 13a and held, aligned within the cover body 13, and the external cables 15 are inserted from the cover body 13.
The individual cables 14 pulled out to the side are inserted into the groove 13a.
While maintaining the aligned posture, the adhesive member 16 is pressed against the adhesive surface 16a to be adhesively disposed.

With this cable alignment structure, when assembling the connector 10' as shown in FIG. , malfunctions due to entanglement of the individual cables 14 of the pressure welding jig are prevented. In addition, since the individual cables 14 are held by the clamping force of the grooves 13a of the cover body 13 and also by the adhesive force of the adhesive member 16, the individual cables 14 are held by the cover body with even greater holding force than before. It is attached to 13. Therefore, when the individual cable 14 is pressed into contact with the connecting portion 11b of the contact 11, it is possible to prevent the individual cable 14 from slipping or coming off from the cover body 13 due to the tensile force generated in the individual cable 14 in the direction of the arrow X. Connected with high reliability.

[Effect of idea]

As is clear from the above explanation, this invention involves attaching an adhesive member to the cover body and attaching adhesive to each individual cable pulled out from the cover body, so that the individual cables can be aligned and fixed even outside the cover body. Ru.
Therefore, when assembling the cover body into the connector body using a pressure welding jig, malfunction of the pressure welding jig due to entanglement of individual cables is prevented, and work efficiency is improved.In addition, the individual cables are attached to the cover body by the adhesive force of the adhesive member. Since the cables are held more reliably, it is possible to provide an inexpensive connector cable alignment structure that can achieve highly reliable pressure contact between individual cables and contacts.
