Patent abstract

A connector includes a main body supporting a power cable, and a sound-proof member attached by a bolt to the top surface of the main body identified as the sound emitting surface to absorb sound emitted from the main body due to vibration. The main body includes a base provided with bulges in which three power cables are accommodated, respectively, and a lid over the base with power cables accommodated. The sound-proof member is effective as long as it is attached to the side face of the lid where it is expected to readily emit noise, i.e., on one side. The sound proof member can be also attached to the side face of the base. A connector having sound generated from the connector caused by vibration reduced is provided.
