Grounding method and grounding structure of electrical connector
Abstract
Abstract Translated from Japanese (57)【要約】 【目的】本発明は、一対の雌,雄コネクタから成る電気 コネクタのアース接続方法およびアース接続構造に関 し、例えば電気自動車の充電に用いられる給電コネクタ において、雌,雄コネクタの電源端子同士が接触する前 に、両コネクタのアース回路が接続し、コネクタの帯電 を安全に除去できるようにしたものである。 【構成】 雌,雄コネクタA,Bの一方のコネクタの戻 り止め(51)をアース回路に使用し、他方のコネクタ 内にアース回路と接続した導電部材(仮ロック腕36) を設ける。両コネクタを仮ロックすることにより、端子 (D,D′)同士の接触前に前記導電部材を介して互い のアース回路を接続させる。 (57) [Abstract] [Object] The present invention relates to a ground connection method and a ground connection structure for an electrical connector comprising a pair of female and male connectors. For example, in a power supply connector used for charging an electric vehicle, a female and male connector is provided. Before the power supply terminals come into contact with each other, the ground circuits of both connectors are connected so that the charging of the connectors can be safely removed. [Construction] A conductive member (temporary locking arm 36) in which the detent (51) of one of the female and male connectors A and B is used for a ground circuit and is connected to the ground circuit in the other connector. To provide. By temporarily locking both connectors, the ground circuits of the terminals (D, D ') are connected to each other via the conductive member before the terminals (D, D') are brought into contact with each other.
