CONNECTOR COVER AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING THE SAME

摘要

In order to provide a connector cover amenable to precise control of the outer diameter dimensions and suppression of shininess on the outer surface thereof, and a method for manufacturing the same, a shaping mold (21) in which a through-hole (22) having a predetermined inner diameter dimension is formed along an immersion direction is immersed in a solution of thermoplastic resin. The shaping mold (21) is pulled up from the solution, and the resin adhering to an inner surface portion of the through-hole (22) of the shaping mold (21) is gelled, so that a precursor (110) is shaped. The precursor (110) is released from the shaping mold (21), and an unnecessary portion (111) of the precursor (110) is cut off. The thus manufactured connector cover (10) that is attachable to a connector into which a terminal connected to ends of an electrical wire bundle in a wire harness is inserted and fastened has an outer diameter dimension in conformity with the inner diameter dimension of the through-hole (22) and has an outer surface that is a matte face or a grainy satin face.

主权项

1. A connector cover configured to be attachable to a connector into which a terminal, connected to respective ends of an electrical wire bundle in a wire harness, is inserted and fastened, the connector cover prepared by the process comprising the steps of:
immersing a mold in a solution of thermoplastic resin, the mold having a through-hole, the through-hole having a predetermined inner diameter formed along an immersion direction and pulling up the mold; shaping a precursor by gelling the resin adhering to the mold; releasing the precursor from the mold; and cutting off an unnecessary portion of the precursor.
