Retainer for connector terminals

摘要

A retainer for insert-retaining a plurality of pin terminals includes a ferrite member having an aligned arrangement of through holes formed at insertion positions of the pin terminals and a resin member covering one surface of the ferrite member. The resin member also has an aligned arrangement of holes for receiving the pin terminals. The ferrite member functions as a filter element to reduce noise. Thin portions are formed along the inner circumferential surfaces of resin member defining the holes. The thin portions are deformed or fractured by the insertion of the pin terminals, and then each deformed or fractured portion is sandwiched between the inserted pin terminal and the inner circumferential surface to thereby elastically engage the pin terminal, resulting in the retainer being secured to the pin terminals in a manner which prevents the terminals from shifting in position.
