Abstract

An outer shell for attachment to a housing. The housing includes a terminal accommodating portion accommodating a terminal, a conductive member accommodating portion provided adjacent to the terminal accommodating portion so as to be immovable and accommodating a portion of a conductive member extending from the terminal, and an opening that opens the terminal accommodating portion and the conductive member accommodating portion to the outside in a first intersecting direction intersecting an arrangement direction of the terminal accommodating portion and the conductive member accommodating portion. The housing includes a first housing covering at least a first one of the openings corresponding to the terminal accommodating portion, and a second housing covering at least a second one of the openings corresponding to the conductive member accommodating portion. The first housing and the second housing are rotatable relative to each other about an axis extending in the first intersecting direction.

Description

Housing and connector Technical Field Embodiments of the present invention relate to a housing and a connector. Background A connector is known that includes a terminal, a housing accommodating the terminal and a conductive member (bus bar or wire) extending from the terminal, and a housing covering an opening of the housing. The opening of the housing is a portion of the housing that opens both a housing portion for the terminal (terminal housing portion) and a housing portion for the conductive member (conductive member housing portion) in the housing to the outside. Prior Art Patent literature Patent document 1 Japanese unexamined patent application, first publication No. 2022-151014. Disclosure of Invention In this type of connector, the direction in which the conductive member extends from the terminal inside the housing (the extending direction of the conductive member) may vary depending on the application. As a result of this, according to various applications of the connector, a plurality of types of housings having different extending directions of the conductive member accommodating portion with respect to the terminal accommodating portion are prepared. Heretofore, since a plurality of types of housings respectively corresponding to the plurality of types of housings are prepared, the manufacturing cost of the connector including the housing and the housing becomes high. One embodiment provides a housing and connector that can reduce the manufacturing cost of the connector. The housing according to one embodiment is a housing for attachment to a shell. The housing includes a terminal accommodating portion accommodating the terminal, a conductive member accommodating portion provided adjacent to the terminal accommodating portion so as not to be movable, and accommodating a portion of the conductive member extending from the terminal, and an opening the terminal accommodating portion and the conductive member accommodating portion to the outside in a first intersecting direction intersecting an arrangement direction of the terminal accommodating portion and the conductive member accommodating portion. The housing includes a first housing covering at least a first opening corresponding to the terminal accommodating portion among the openings, and a second housing covering at least a second opening corresponding to the conductive member accommodating portion among the openings. The first housing and the second housing are rotatable relative to each other about an axis extending in the first intersecting direction. The housing further includes a fixing portion that non-rotatably fixes the first housing and the second housing to each other at a position away from the axis in the radial direction. A connector according to one embodiment includes a terminal, a housing including a terminal accommodating portion accommodating the terminal, a conductive member accommodating portion provided adjacent to the terminal accommodating portion so as to be immovable and accommodating a portion of a conductive member extending from the terminal, and an opening the terminal accommodating portion and the conductive member accommodating portion to the outside in a first intersecting direction intersecting an arrangement direction of the terminal accommodating portion and the conductive member accommodating portion, and the housing. According to the housing and the connector of the embodiment of the invention, the manufacturing cost of the connector can be reduced.
