Abstract: A coupling confirming mechanism for an electric connector having a first and second connector housings, capable of confirming the proper coupling of the first and second connector housings and double-locking the first and second connector housings. The coupling confirming mechanism comprises: a locking arm having a locking projection formed on the first connector housing; a locking lever pivotally joined at its rear end to the first connector housing and provided at its front end with an insulating projection, and at its front end with locking fingers; locking projections formed on the second connector housing; a break contact formed of a pair of short-circuiting terminals disposed in a short-circuiting terminal chamber formed in the second connector housing. The locking fingers of the locking lever is able to engage the locking projections of the second connector housing and the insulating projection of the same is able to break the break contact only when the first and second connector housings are properly coupled. The first and second connector housings can be double-locked by the engagement of the locking projection of the locking arm and the second connector housing and by the engagement of the locking lever and the second connector housing only when the first and second connector housings are properly coupled.

Abstract: An apparatus for confirming the fitting of an electric connector in which a male connector housing is fitted in a hood of a female connector housing so as to connect together metal terminals received respectively in the terminal receiving chambers of the male and female connector housings. A lock lever, having a holder spring, is pivotally connected at one end to a first side portion of the hood. A locking plate, having a provisional locking groove and a complete locking groove, is formed on a second side portion of the hood. Both the provisional and complete locking grooves are engageable with the holder spring. A fitting confirmation projection is formed on a reverse surface of the lock lever, and interferes with the male connector housing when the fitting of the male connector housing is imperfect, thereby preventing the engagement between the holder spring and the complete locking groove. The apparatus also may be used when a hood of a female connector housing is fitted in an electronic unit case so as to provide an open window in the electronic unit case. In this embodiment, a manipulation press portion is formed on a second end of the lock lever. Additionally, a screen portion is formed on the press portion so as to close the window in the electronic unit case to prevent foreign matter from penetrating the electronic unit case.

Abstract: A perfect coupling confirming mechanism for an electric connector having a first connector housing and a second connector housing, employing two electrical contactors, among those accommodated in contactor chambers formed in the second connector housing, as check contactors for the confirmation of the perfect coupling of the first and second connector housings. The first connector housing is provided with a principal locking arm provided with a first and second locking projections. A locking slider and a short-circuiting member are provided movably in the second connector housing. When the first and second connector housings are coupled perfectly, the first locking projection and the second connector housing are engaged to lock the first and second connector housings to each other in a primary locked state. In this state, the locking slider is advanced so that the locking slider engages the second locking projection of the principal locking arm to lock the first and second connector housings in a secondary locked state and to disconnect the check contactors electrically by the short-circuiting member. Thus, the first and second connector housings are double-locked. When the first and second connector housings are coupled imperfectly, the locking slider is unable to engage the second locking projection of the principal locking arm and the check contactors remain connected electrically.

Abstract: The mating structure includes a bracket defined to be fitted to a base body. The bracket has a guide portion consisting of an inclined portion and a lock opening turned from the inclined portion. The structure further has a first connector pivotably attached to the bracket and a second connector provided on a fitting panel constructed to be attached to the base body. The second connector has an engagement piece associated with the guide portion of the bracket. The fitting panel is pivotable toward the base body side when the first and second connectors have mated completely. The first and second connectors are completely mated with each other when the engagement piece has reached the lock opening. The lock opening is directed perpendicularly to the disengagement direction of the first and second connectors when the fitting panel has completely pivoted toward the base body. The structure may include a third connector mounted on the base body and a fourth connector that is provisionally held by a resilient holding arm formed on the fitting panel. The attachment completion of the fitting panel also allows the complete mating of the third and fourth connectors.
