Abstract

A connection module is provided and includes an inner housing, an outer housing, a plurality of second connection terminals, a shell, a first sealing member, and a second sealing member. The inner housing includes a plurality of first connection terminals. The outer housing receives the inner housing and is coupled thereto. The plurality of second connection terminals is disposed at an end portion on one side of the outer housing. The shell receives the outer housing and includes an input and output device coupling end. The first sealing member is positioned between the inner housing and the outer housing, and the second sealing member positioned between the outer housing and the shell.

Claims

1. A connection module comprising:

an inner housing having a plurality of first connection terminals;

an outer housing receiving the inner housing;

a plurality of second connection terminals disposed at an end portion on one side of the outer housing;

a shell receiving the outer housing and having an input and output device coupling end;

a first sealing member positioned between the inner housing and the outer housing; and

a second sealing member positioned between the outer housing and the shell.

2. The connection module of claim 1, further comprising a first connection terminal housing disposed at the end portion of the outer housing and receiving first connection terminals.

3. The connection module of claim 1, further comprising a third sealing member disposed on the input and output device coupling end.

4. The connection module of claim 1, wherein the shell is a watertight structure.

5. The connection module of claim 4, wherein the shell is formed using die casting.

6. The connection module of claim 1, further comprising a coupling device securing the inner housing, the outer housing, and the shell together.

7. The connection module of claim 6, wherein the coupling device is a clip penetrating through the shell.

8. The connection module of claim 7, wherein the clip couples with the inner housing and the outer housing.

9. The connection module of claim 1, wherein the plurality of first connection terminals pass through the outer housing.

10. The connection module of claim 2, wherein the plurality of second connection terminals are disposed on a lower portion of the first connection terminal housing.

11. The connection module of claim 1, wherein the plurality of second connection terminals and the plurality of first connection terminals are disposed vertically relative to each other.

12. The connection module of claim 11, wherein the plurality of first connection terminals are disposed between the plurality of second connection terminals.

13. The connection module of claim 1, wherein the plurality of first connection terminals are disposed below the plurality of second connection terminals.
