Description

Terminal bracket and terminal Technical Field The present disclosure relates to a terminal bracket and a terminal. Background Conventionally, a protector disclosed in patent document 1 is known, which includes an electric wire housing portion for housing an electric wire, and a terminal housing portion for housing a terminal mounted on an end portion of a branch wire of the electric wire. The terminal housing portion has a main body portion having an opening shape for housing the terminal, and a cover portion for opening and closing the opening of the main body portion. Prior art literature Patent literature Patent document 1 Japanese patent application laid-open No. 2012-235623 Disclosure of Invention Problems to be solved by the invention However, in the case of patent document 1, the terminal accommodated in the terminal accommodating portion is sandwiched and held between the main body portion and the cover portion of the terminal accommodating portion. Accordingly, in the case of patent document 1, the cover is required to hold the terminal accommodated in the terminal accommodating portion, and therefore, simplification of the structure is hindered. The purpose of the present disclosure is to provide a terminal bracket and a terminal that can simplify the structure. Means for solving the problems The terminal holder is provided with a terminal housing part for housing the terminal in a state in which an upper surface of the terminal is exposed, a temporary positioning mechanism for temporarily positioning the terminal in an insertion posture in the terminal housing part during housing the terminal in the terminal housing part, and a locking mechanism for locking the terminal to the terminal housing part after the terminal temporarily positioned by the temporary positioning mechanism is pushed in to be housed in the terminal housing part. Effects of the invention The present disclosure can simplify the structure of a terminal bracket. Drawings Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a terminal bracket according to an embodiment.

Detailed Description First, embodiments of the present disclosure will be described. [1] The terminal holder is provided with a terminal housing part for housing the terminal in a state in which the upper surface of the terminal is exposed, a temporary positioning mechanism for temporarily positioning the terminal in an insertion posture in the terminal housing part during housing the terminal in the terminal housing part, and a locking mechanism for locking the terminal to the terminal housing part after the terminal temporarily positioned by the temporary positioning mechanism is pushed in to be housed in the terminal housing part. According to this configuration, the temporary positioning mechanism and the locking mechanism for fixing the terminal to the terminal housing portion are provided between the terminal and the terminal housing portion, so that the terminal can be fixed to the terminal housing portion without using a cover. Therefore, there is no need to provide a cover for the terminal housing portion of the terminal bracket. Thus, the structure of the terminal bracket can be simplified. [2] In addition to the above [1], the temporary positioning mechanism has a structure including a protrusion formed on one of the terminal and the terminal housing portion and a recess formed on the other of the terminal and the terminal housing portion so that the protrusion engages with the recess. According to this configuration, the terminal can be temporarily positioned in the terminal housing portion in the insertion posture by a simple structure and operation in which the protrusion formed on one of the terminal and the terminal housing portion is engaged with the recess formed on the other of the terminal and the terminal housing portion. In addition, when the terminal is completely accommodated in the terminal accommodating portion, the terminal can be firmly fixed to the terminal accommodating portion by the structure in which the protrusion is deeply inserted into the recess.
