Vehicle-side connector |
摘要 |
A vehicle-side connector (10) is to be connected to a battery in a vehicle. The vehicle-side connector (10) includes a housing main body (20) fixed to a body of the vehicle, and a sub-housing (30) fit to the housing main body (20) from an inner side of the vehicle. A seal (31) is sandwiched between the housing main body (20) and the sub-housing (30) to cut off the interior of the vehicle from water. A water guide (27) is formed by a clearance (S) between the housing main body (20) and the sub-housing (30) and is outside a water cut-off area defined by the seal (31). A water drain (28) opens down from the water guide (27) in the housing main body (20) and is configured to drain water to an outer side of the vehicle. |

1. A vehicle-side connector having a front end to be connected to a charging connector and a rear end to be connected to a battery mounted in a vehicle, comprising:
a housing main body to be fixed to a body of the vehicle, the housing main body having a plurality of front terminal accommodating tubes; a sub-housing to be telescoped with and fitted to the housing main body from an inner side of the vehicle, the sub-housing being formed with rear terminal accommodating tubes that align respectively with the front terminal accommodating tubes to form terminal accommodating cavities; vehicle-side terminals passing through the rear terminal accommodating tubes and projecting respectively into the front terminal accommodating tubes; a seal member configured to cut off the interior of the vehicle from water by being sandwiched between the housing main body and the sub-housing at areas where the sub-housing is telescoped with the housing main body; water drainage openings formed through lower parts of the terminal accommodating cavities formed at least by the front terminal accommodating tubes; a water guide portion formed by defining a clearance between the housing main body and the sub-housing in a fitted state and arranged outside a water cut-off area by the seal member, the water guide portion communicating with each of the water drainage openings; and a water drainage portion open downward from the water guide portion in the housing main body and configured to drain water to an outer side of the vehicle. |
