Connector Comprising Multiple Outputs

Abstract

A connector includes a case having an input and a plurality of outputs, a terminal housing in the case, a plurality of terminals in the terminal housing, and a bus bar disposed inside the terminal housing and connected to the terminals. At least one terminal of the terminals is exposed to an outside through any one of the outputs and is connectable to an external terminal inserted into the case. Another terminal of the terminals is exposed to the outside through another output of the outputs and is connectable to another external terminal inserted into the case. At least some of the bus bar is in the input and exposed to the outside of the case.

Description

Claims

1. A connector, comprising: a case having an input and a plurality of outputs;a terminal housing in the case;a plurality of terminals in the terminal housing, at least one terminal of the terminals is exposed to an outside through any one of the outputs and is connectable to an external terminal inserted into the case, and another terminal of the terminals is exposed to the outside through another output of the outputs and is connectable to another external terminal inserted into the case; anda bus bar disposed inside the terminal housing and connected to the terminals, at least some of the bus bar is in the input and exposed to the outside of the case.

2. The connector of claim 1, wherein the terminals are detachable from the bus bar.

3. The connector of claim 1, wherein the at least one terminal has a first aperture accommodating the bus bar and a second aperture accommodating the external terminal.

4. The connector of claim 1, wherein the terminals are connected to the bus bar in a direction intersecting a longitudinal direction of the bus bar.

5. The connector of claim 1, wherein the bus bar is caught by the terminal housing.

6. The connector of claim 5, wherein the bus bar has a bus bar body in a plate shape and a bus bar rib protruding from the bus bar body, the bus bar rib is inserted into the terminal housing.

7. The connector of claim 6, wherein some of the terminals are opposite to the other terminals with respect to the bus bar rib.

8. The connector of claim 1, further comprising an inner shield attached to an inner wall of the case and enclosing at least some of the terminal housing.

9. The connector of claim 8, further comprising a head part including a head shield, the head part is connected to the input.

10. The connector of claim 8, wherein the inner shield has a shield outer arm inside one of the outputs.

11. The connector of claim 8, further comprising an upper shield disposed in the case and physically and electrically connected to the inner shield, the inner shield has a shield inner arm overlapping with the upper shield.

12. The connector of claim 8, wherein the inner shield has a first shield attached to an inner wall of any one of the outputs and a second shield attached to an inner wall of another output of the outputs, at least some of the second shield overlaps with the first shield.

13. The connector of claim 12, wherein the first shield has a first shield body inserted into the one of the outputs and a first shield plate extending from the first shield body and overlapping with the second shield.

14. The connector of claim 13, wherein the second shield has a second shield body inserted into the one of the outputs and a second shield plate extending from the second shield body and overlapping with the first shield.

15. The connector of claim 14, wherein the first shield has a first shield head extending from the first shield body, the first shield head is opposite to the first shield body.

16. The connector of claim 1, wherein the terminal housing includes a housing plate in the case and a plurality of accommodating parts connected to the housing plate and accommodating the terminals.

17. The connector of claim 16, wherein the accommodating parts include a front protrusion protruding from the housing plate and enclosed by the one of the outputs and a rear protrusion protruding in a direction opposite to the front protrusion from the housing plate and in the case.

18. The connector of claim 16, wherein the bus bar is in the accommodating parts and spaced apart from the housing plate.

19. The connector of claim 18, wherein the bus bar is inserted into a space between two of the accommodating parts that are spaced apart from each other in a longitudinal direction of the bus bar, the bus bar has a bus bar rib caught by the two accommodating parts.

20. The connector of claim 1, wherein each of the terminals includes a plurality of terminal plates parallel to one another in a longitudinal direction of the bus bar.
