    Description
    Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which similar reference numbers refer to similar elements. However, the present disclosure may be carried out in many different ways and should not be construed as being limited to the embodiment set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are provided so that the present disclosure will be exhaustive and complete and will fully convey the concept of the description to those skilled in the art.
    In the following detailed description, for the purpose of explanation, numerous specific details are described in order to provide a complete understanding of the described embodiments. It will be evident, however, that one or more embodiments can be practiced without these specific details. In other cases, well-known structures and devices are schematically shown in order to simplify the drawing.
    In accordance with a general concept of the present invention, a connector is provided comprising an insulating housing formed with a channel through which a wire is to be inserted, and a contact is provided to be substantially perpendicular to the channel in a portion of reception of the insulating housing. The channel is defined by a continuous channel wall with a thin wall part. The channel is defined by a continuous channel wall with a thin wall part, and the thin wall part is intended to be pierced by one end of the contact inserted in the channel in an insertion direction, so that the contact is connected electrically with the wire in the channel.
    Next, in this specification, a connector according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Figures 1 to 9. Figure 1 is an illustrative perspective view of a connector according to an embodiment by way of example of the present invention; Figure 2 is an illustrative perspective view of an insulating housing of the connector of Figure 1; Figure 3 is an illustrative perspective view of a contact of the connector of Figure 1; Figure 4 is an illustrative perspective view of the connector of Figure 1, in which a part of the connector is cut; Figure 5 is an illustrative side cross-sectional view of the connector of Figure 1; Figure 6 is an enlarged local view of the connector of Figure 5 in a channel of the insulating housing; Figure 7 is an illustrative perspective view of the connector of Figure 1, in which a wire has been inserted; Figure 8 is a cross-sectional view of the connector of Figure 7; and Figure 9 is an enlarged local view of the connector of Figure 8 in the channel.
    As shown in Figures 1-9, the connector 100 mainly comprises an insulating housing 1 made, for example, of plastic and a contact 2 made of metal, such as copper or stainless steel. The insulating housing 1 is formed with a channel 11 which extends in a horizontal direction of Figure 5 through which a wire 3 must be inserted. The contact 2 is intended to be substantially perpendicular to an axis of the channel 11 and be received in a receiving part 13 of the insulating housing 1 extending in a vertical direction of Figure 5.
    As shown in Figures 7 to 9, when the wire 3 is inserted into the channel 11 of the insulating housing 1, one end (the upper end in Figure 5) 221 of the contact 2 is adapted to pierce an insulating cover of the wire 3 inserted in the channel, and electrically in contact with a conductive core of the wire 3, such that an electrical connection between the conductive core of the wire 3 and the contact 2 is achieved.
    In one embodiment, as shown in Figures 4 to 6, the channel 11 of the insulating housing 1 is defined by a continuous channel wall. That is, the channel wall has a continuous integral surface 15 in an axial direction of the channel 11, and the channel wall is not formed with any groove that causes the channel wall to break. Thus, in the present invention, the channel 11 is not communicated with the receiving part 13 to receive the contact 2. In this way, a thin wall part 12 is formed on the channel wall 14 at a place in the that the channel 2 and the reception part 13 are cut. The end 221 of the contact 2 is capable of being inserted in the channel 11 in an insertion direction by piercing the thin-walled part 12, to electrically connect the wire 3 in the channel 11.
    In one embodiment, after the end 221 of the contact 2 pierces the thin wall part 12 and comes into contact with the insulating cover 31 of the wire 3, the contact 2 is further inserted into the channel 11 to pierce the insulating cover of the thread 3 and electrically contacting the conductive core 32 of the wire 3. In this way, an electrical connection between the conductive core of the wire 3 and the contact 2 can be achieved.
    With such a configuration, since the wall of the channel 14 of the insulating housing 1 has the continuous integral surface 15 and the thin-walled part 12 is formed in the wall of the channel 14 at the place where the channel and the receiving part 13 are cut, the thread 3 can be inserted gently into the channel 11 without being hindered by the receiving part 13. That is, the thin-walled part 12 can prevent the thread 3 from being inserted into the receiving part 13, improving the efficiency of the insertion of the thread 3 and ensuring that the thread 3 is inserted in the correct position. Furthermore, after the wire 3 is inserted in the correct position of the channel 11 of the insulating housing 1, the end 221 of the contact 2 can pierce the thin-walled part 12 of the channel 11 by moving towards the channel and electrically connecting to the wire 3, ensuring reliable electrical connection between contact 2 and wire 3 and ensuring the performance of use of connector 100.
    In one embodiment, the thin wall part 12 may have a thickness equal to or less than 4 mm, such that the contact 2 can easily pierce the thin wall part 12. But the present invention is not limited thereto, the thickness of the thin-walled part 12 can be appropriately selected by those skilled in the art according to the hardness of the contact material and the insulating housing, the desired thrust force, etc., as long as the contact 2 can pierce the part thin wall 12.
    As shown in Figures 4 to 6 and 8 to 9, after the wire 3 is inserted in the correct position of the channel 11 of the insulating housing 1, if the contact 2 is pushed up or the insulating housing 1 is pushed down, the end 221 of the contact 2 can pierce the thin-walled part 12 of the channel 11. In one embodiment, each of an upper part and a lower part of the wall of the channel 14 in the direction of insertion of the contact 2 is provided with the thin wall part 12. The end 221 of the contact 2 can successively pierce upwards and the thin wall parts 12 at the top and the bottom parts of the channel 11. In this way, it is easy to confirm if the contact 2 passes through the insulating cover of the wire 3 and is electrically connected with the wire 3.
    In one embodiment, as shown in Figures 1 to 3 and 7, the insulating housing 1 defines three channels 11 in which three contacts are held, respectively. The three contacts 2 are adapted to pierce the thin-walled portions of the three channels 11, respectively. Although three channels and three contacts are shown in the illustrated embodiment, the number of channels and contacts can be set to one, two, four or more according to the actual requirements.
    In one embodiment, as shown in Figures 3 and 5, the contacts 2 each comprise two branches 21, 22. Correspondingly, two thin-walled parts 12 corresponding to the two branches 21, 22, respectively, are provided on the channel wall 14 of the insulating housing 1 in the axial direction of the channel 11. But the present invention is not limited to this, those skilled in the art appreciate that the contacts 2 can comprise three or more branches each, and the wall of the channel 14 of the insulating housing 1 can be correspondingly provided with three or more thin-walled parts 12 to be pierced by the contact branches, respectively, in the axial direction of the channel 11. Each branch 21 or 22 comprises two arms 222 between which a gap is defined. When the contact 2 pierces the thin-walled part of the channel 11 and moves towards the channel 11, the wire 3 that has been inserted into the channel 11 is inserted into the gap, and the insulating cover 31 of the wire 3 is pierced by the blades 223 of the two arms 222. In this way, the conductive core 32 of the wire 3 and the contact 2 are electrically connected to each other. Each branch 21 or 22 is further provided with at least one projection 224 that is constructed to protrude into the insulating housing 1, such that the contact is reliably maintained in the insulating housing 1.
    In one embodiment, the connector may be a RAST connector. The connector can be used, for example, in an appliance, to connect a control circuit board and an electrical component of, for example, a heat exchanger. But the application of the connector of the present invention is not limited to this, it can be applied to any two components that need to be electrically connected through a wire and a contact.
    In another embodiment of the present invention, as shown in Figures 2 and 5 to 9, an insulating housing 1 is provided for the connector 100 of Figure 1. The insulating housing 1 comprises a channel 11 through which inserting a wire 3 and a receiving part 13, substantially perpendicular to the channel 13, configured to receive a contact 2. The channel 11 is defined by a continuous channel wall 14 with a thin wall part 12 formed in the channel wall 14 in a place where the channel and the reception part 13 are cut. One end of the contact 2 can pierce the thin wall part 12 and electrically connect the wire 3 in the channel 11.
    With the previous configuration of the connector, the wire 3 can be inserted gently into the channel 11 without being hindered because the channel 11 of the insulating housing 1 has a continuous channel wall 14 and improves the insertion efficiency of the wire 3.
    Those skilled in the art should appreciate that the above embodiments are intended to be illustrative and not restrictive.
