Abstract:
A connector (A) includes a resiliently deformable resilient receiving portion (35) arranged to traverse an opening area of a lock hole (32) formed in a holder (30) and linked to an inner surface of the lock hole (32) at links (36) on opposite ends in a longitudinal direction. A locking rib (15) projects from a lock projection (12) formed in a housing (10) and extends along the longitudinal direction of the resilient receiving portion (35). The locking rib (15) causes the resilient receiving portion (35) to curve and deform in the process of assembling the housing (10) and the holder (30). Escaping edges (18) are formed on opposite longitudinal ends of a projecting edge (16) of the locking rib (15). The escaping edges (18) are oblique to the longitudinal direction of the resilient receiving portion (35) that is not resiliently deformed, and substantially face the links (36).
Abstract:
A flexing strip (41) is formed on a housing (20). An interference part (63) is formed on a fit-on detector (50). A distinguishing part (46) having a color different from the fit-on detector (50) is formed on the flexing strip (41). The flexing strip (41) interferes with the interference part (63) and deforms while moving the fit-on detector (50) from a wait position to a detection position. The flexing strip (41) is released from an interference state with the interference part (63) and elastically restores to its original state when the fit-on detector (50) has reached the detection position. A position of the distinguishing part (46) relative to the interference part (63) changes before and after a flexing of the flexing strip (41) so that the distinguishing part (46) is exposed and can be seen from a distinguishing position.
Abstract:
A return preventing portion flexible locking piece (20) and return preventing portion (52) for preventing a lever (40) from returning from a standby position to a mount position and a locking means flexible locking piece (20) and lock arm (47) for locking the lever (40) at a connection position are provided. The flexible locking piece (20) return preventing means, locking means of a first housing (10) one member is engaged with the lock arm (47) of the lever (40) (other member), whereby the lever (40) is locked at the connection position. The shape of the first housing (10) can be simplified since it is not necessary to provide the first housing (10) with a locking means for exclusive use in addition to the flexible locking piece (20).
Abstract:
In a side plate (52) of a retainer (50), a jig insertion groove (70) is cut at an upper end portion of its front edge. A releasing jig (J) is insertable into a gap between the bottom surface of the jig insertion groove (70) and a vertical front edge of a recessed surface (27) of a female housing (20). If the releasing jig (J) is rotated so as to be pried, the retainer (50) is pushed back diagonally downward along a guide groove (60) and reaches a temporary retaining position.
Abstract:
A lever (40) is mounted rotatably on a female housing (10) and includes a cam plate (47) with a cam groove (41). The cam plate (47) is arranged on only one surface of the female housing (10). In addition to an engaged position of a cam groove (41) and a cam pin (88), a position is set between the lever (40) and a male housing (80) to produce forces to pull the housings (10, 80) towards each other. For example, a hook (43) is formed on a posture correcting arm (46) at a position facing the cam plate (47) of the lever (40) and engages a receiving portion (91) in the male housing (80) to pull the housings (10, 80) together.
Abstract:
A male housing (20) has cavities (23) into which male terminal fittings (10) are insertable and locks (24) for locking the male terminal fittings (10) in the cavities (23). Each lock (24) is deformed temporarily resiliently during insertion of the male terminal fitting (10), and is restored resiliently to lock the male terminal fitting (10) when the male terminal fitting (10) reaches a proper depth. Lowered parts (35) of bottom walls (34) of the cavities (23) facing the locks (24) with deformation spaces (S) therebetween are provided at their portions coupled to the locks (24) with bulges (49) bulging toward the locks (24). Each bulge (49) is inclined such that a bulging distance thereof gradually increases toward the corresponding lock (24).
Abstract:
A male housing (10) includes male terminal fittings (11), and a receptacle (12) for surrounding tabs (11a) of the male terminal fittings (11). A female housing (20) includes female terminal fittings (21) and a tubular fitting (29) fittable on the receptacle (12). Since preventing projections (32A, 32B, 32C) for preventing relative displacements of the receptacle (12) and the tubular fitting (29) by contacting the outer surface of the receptacle (12) are provided at the back end of the inner surface of the tubular fitting (29), an abrasion between the terminal fittings (11, 21) due to fine sliding movements resulting from the relative displacements of the two housings (10, 20) can be prevented.
Abstract:
A male housing (20) is provided with cavities (23) for inserting male terminal metal pieces (10) in two upper and lower stages and a retainer mounting hole (27) opening the respective cavities (23) in a lower direction and in two side directions. The retainer (40) is mounted movably and skewedly to a direction of inserting and drawing the male terminal metal piece (10) between a full locking position permitting to insert and draw the male terminal metal piece (10) and a regular locking position locked to the male terminal metal piece (10).
Abstract:
A joint connector (JC) has a ground terminal (50) mounted in a housing (30) so that a grounding plate (52) projects outside. The grounding plate (52) is fastened to a metal panel (80) by a nut (83) and bolt (87). A mount hole (85) of rectangular cross section is formed at a specified distance in a specified direction from the nut (83). A clip (70) is formed on the bottom of the housing (30) so that the positional relationship of the clip (70) and an insertion hole (53) of the grounding plate (52) corresponds to that of the mount hole (85) of the nut (83) of the metal panel (80). The housing (30) is mounted on the metal panel (80) by inserting the clip (70) into the mount hole (85). Thus, the insertion hole (53) of the grounding plate (52) is at a position aligned with the nut (83).
Abstract:
A connector has a housing (10) with a cavity (11) and a resiliently deformable lock (13) in the cavity (11). The connector further has a terminal fitting (30) that can be inserted into the cavity (11). The insertion of the terminal fitting (30) deforms the lock (13). However, the lock (13) restores when the terminal fitting (30) is inserted completely, and locks the terminal fitting in the cavity (11). The terminal fitting (30) and the cavity (11) are formed with mutually engageable structures (53, 26) for preventing inclination of the terminal fitting (30) in the deforming direction of the lock (13).
