Wire harness and waterproof structure
A wire harness includes a connector and a grommet. The connector includes an inner member having an annular plate-shaped flange. The inner member includes a first divided inner part, a second divided inner part, a deformable hinge that connects one end of the first divided inner part and one end of the second divided inner part to each other, and a lock portion that is formed on a fitting portion between the other end of the first divided inner part and the other end of the second divided inner part. The lock portion is formed on a portion where the other end of the first divided inner part and the other end of the second divided inner part are fitted to each other by sliding movement in accordance with a twisting of the hinge about a first axis.

CONNECTOR
A connector includes a housing having a fitting part that is inserted and fitted into a counterpart fitting part, a shield shell having a shell flange part disposed opposite a wall surface of a counterpart wall body with an interval therebetween, a first watertight member between the fitting part and the counterpart fitting part, and a second watertight member that is crushed between the shell flange part and a wall surface of the counterpart wall body. The housing has a housing flange part with an outer peripheral surface thereof disposed inside an outer peripheral edge of the shell flange part and outside an inner edge of the shell flange part, and with a contact surface with an annular shape in contact with the wall surface of the counterpart wall body.
POWER CONVERSION DEVICE
Provided is a power conversion device, including: a casing that has a front surface with an opening; an insertion component including an insertion portion; and a gasket. The casing has an inner wall surface being in contact with the gasket and a casing-side guide surface. The insertion portion has an outer peripheral surface being in contact with the gasket and an insertion component-side guide surface. When a distance in the insertion direction between the front surface and an end of the casing-side guide surface, which is closer to the front surface in the insertion direction, is represented by L1 and a distance between an inner surface of the gasket in the insertion direction and a distal end of the insertion component-side guide surface in the insertion direction is represented by L2, the distance L2 is set larger than the distance L1.
Temporary Header Retention Feature
An electrical header for mounting to an object such as an electrical device. The header comprises a body including a base, a first plug end defined on a first side of the base and adapted to mate with a mating connector, and a second plug end defined on a second side of the base and adapted to be inserted into the object. An elastic locking element is arranged on the second plug end and is adapted to engage with and secure the header to the object. The elastic locking element is sized and shaped to be elastically biased by the object in a direction transverse to an insertion direction of the header during removal of the header from the object.
IN-VEHICLE ELECTRIC COMPONENT-INTERNAL CIRCUIT UNIT
An in-vehicle electric component-internal circuit unit has a novel structure that can reduce the number of in-vehicle electric component-side work processes and reduce in-vehicle electric component size. An in-vehicle electric component-internal circuit unit includes: an insulative holder that holds circuit members; a wire harness that includes a coated wire, a circuit-side connection portion that is provided on an end portion on one side of the coated wire, a connector that is provided on an end portion on the other side of the coated wire, and a grommet through which the coated wire passes; a plate wall portion for covering a housing through-hole provided in a housing of an in-vehicle electric component; and a seal member that is provided on a first surface, which is a surface of the plate wall portion to be attached to the housing and that comes into contact with the rim of the housing through-hole.

FLOATING SOCKET CONNECTOR
A socket connector is configured to mount to a component, such as a printed circuit board. The socket connector includes a base having a passageway and a channel extending outwardly from the passageway, a barrel including a wall having a flange extending outwardly therefrom, at least one biasing member engaging the flange and surrounding the wall, and a contact seated within the barrel. The wall is seated within the passageway and the flange is seated within the channel. The barrel is configured for movement within the base to align a centerline of a pin inserted into the socket connector with a centerline of the hole of the component.
