Patent ID: 7658640

Claim:
A cable connector comprising: a cover insulator for holding an end portion of a cable; a base insulator receiving said cover insulator therein; and a terminal held on said base insulator and adapted to be connected to another connector and said cable; said cover insulator having a holding unit holding the end portion of said cable; the terminal having an end portion held in a shape adapted to press the end portion of said cable when said cover insulator and said base insulator are coupled to each other; said cable connector being connected to said cable by coupling said cover insulator and said base insulator to each other and connecting said terminal to the end portion of said cable by laser welding; said holding unit having an edge with a groove to hold the end portion of said cable so that said cable is bent and held at a bending angle α with respect to a coupling direction of said cover insulator and said base insulator; the end portion of said terminal being bent and held at a bending angle β with respect to said coupling direction in the state where the end portion of said terminal is not brought into contact with the end portion of said cable; said angles α and β satisfying the relationship given by: β<π−α (rad).
