摘要:
A connector provided with a half-fitting prevention function has a simplified configuration. A spring 40 is provided with a spring member 44 located to the posterior of a spring pressing member 41 which is pressed directly by a female housing. This spring member 44 is compressed when it receives a pressing force. The spring pressing member 41 and the spring member 44 are formed in a unified manner from plastic. The spring 40 is housed within a spring housing chamber 30 of a male housing 20. If the fitting of the two housings is halted part-way through the operation, the spring member 44 which has been compressed is released, the force which has been accumulated thus far is released, and the female housing is thereby caused to move in a direction of separation.

A pair of connector housing may be temporarily engaged so as to facilitate efficient connection operation thereof. A lever 15 is pivotably attached to a side wall of the male connector housing 11. When a female connector housing 12 is inserted into the male connector housing 11, a cam receiving protrusion 17 of a cover 13 resiliently deforms lugs 15a of a lever 15 to be opened, so that the cam receiving portion may be advanced through a portion 23 into a cam groove 16. After such advancement, lugs 15a are returned to their original position by means of resilient deformation, so that the portion 23 is engaged with the cam receiving protrusion 17, so as to prevent dislodgement of the cam receiving protrusion. The thickness of the portion 23 of the cam groove is selected so as to prevent dislodgement of the cam receiving protrusion. A restricting protrusion 24 is protruded laterally from the cam receiving protrusion 17. The restricting protrusion serves to urge the lugs 15 downwardly, so as to maintain constant amount of engagement between the cam receiving protrusion 17 and the portion 23 of the cam groove. Another restricting protrusion 25 extending in a vertical direction may be provided in the side wall 1 of the male connector housing 11.

A connector is provided to clear a shorted state of a shorting terminal without using a clearing rib. The connector includes female and male housings 10, 20. A slider 40 assembled into the male housing 20 is moved backward by elastic restoring forces of elastically contracted coil springs when female and male housings 10, 20 are properly connected and a locking claw 31 of a lock arm 30 is disengaged from a locking surface 53. By integrally assembling a shorting terminal 60 into the slider 40, the shorting terminal 60 can be moved automatically from a shorting position where contact portions 64 of the shorting terminal 60 are held in contact with male terminal fittings 26 to short them to a clearing position where the contact portions 64 are not in contact with the male terminal fittings 26.

A connector includes lever pivotally mounted on a lateral wall of a male connector housing. When a female connector housing is inserted into the male connector housing, a cam follower projection formed on a cover is engaged with a cam groove formed on the lever. The lever is formed of four split pieces: a base plate, a second split piece, a third split piece, and an operating strip. For connecting or disconnecting the connectors, the lever can be expanded to maximize leverage. For storage, the lever can be contracted to minimize the amount of space occupied.

A terminal fitting (10) has a rectangular tube (11) and a wire connecting portion (12) rearward of the rectangular tube (11). Two rib-like stabilizers (31F, 31R) project from the rectangular tube (11) by closely folding pieces extending from a side wall (19) of the rectangular tube (11). The stabilizers (31F, 31R ) are spaced apart in forward and backward directions. An entrance preventing portion (35) in the form of a single plate is formed between the two stabilizers (31F, 31R).
摘要:
A shielding shell (30) of a male housing (10M) and a shielding shell (30) of a female housing (10F) have the same shape, touching portions (35) of the shielding shells (30) are such that outer touching pieces (32) having contact points at the inner sides and inner touching pieces (31) having contact points at the outer sides are arranged in circumferential direction, and the inner touching pieces (31) of one shielding shell (30) and the outer touching pieces (32) of the other shielding shell (30) correspond to and come into contacting with each other in radial directions. Since the shielding shell (30) of the male housing (10M) and that of the female housing (10F) have the same shape, cost can be reduced.

A front mask (70) can be held at a testing position located before a proper position with respect to a mounting direction of the front mask (70). At this testing position, parts of the front ends of connecting portions (28S) of smaller female terminals (26S) accommodated in smaller cavities (24S) located behind the corresponding smaller cavities (24S) with respect to the mounting direction are exposed in smaller terminal insertion openings (75S), and these smaller terminal insertion openings (75S) are used also as testing openings through which probes (80) for an electrical connection test are inserted. The front mask (70) also is formed with test openings (82) where parts of the front ends of the connecting portions (28S) of the smaller female terminals (26S) accommodated in the frontmost smaller cavities (24S) with respect to the mounting direction are exposed when the front mask (70) is at the testing position.
摘要:
A divided connector has a cover (70) that is mounted on a frame (10) in a direction orthogonal to an inserting direction of auxiliary housings (40) into the frame (10). Latches (71) on the inner surfaces of the cover (70) contact guide surfaces (42B) of an insufficiently inserted auxiliary housing (40) to push the auxiliary housing (40) to a proper position and doubly lock the auxiliary housing (40).
摘要:
A divided connector (10) has a housing main body (11) with main cavities (16) and main front walls (17) that define front limit positions for main terminal fittings (15) in the main cavities (16). The housing main body (11) also has an accommodating portion (12) with an accommodating front wall (13) that defines a front limit position for an auxiliary housing (30) in the accommodating portion (12). The auxiliary housing (30) has auxiliary cavities (32) with auxiliary front walls (33) that define front limit positions of auxiliary terminal fittings (31) in the auxiliary cavities (32). A sum of the thicknesses of auxiliary front walls (33) and the accommodating front wall (13) exceeds the thickness of main front walls (17). Thus, the auxiliary terminal fittings (31) are backward from the main-body terminal fittings (15) by this thickness difference and a peak connecting force is reduced.
摘要:
A moving side connector (30) has a housing (31) with a receptacle (32). Male terminal fittings (33) are mounted in the housing (31) and have tabs (33a) that project into the receptacle (32). A waiting side connector (20) has a mating housing (21) that can fit in the receptacle (32). Levers (38) are supported rotatably on the male housing (31). A cam pin (40) is provided at an end of each lever (38) and is supported slidably in a corresponding cam groove (47) of a frame (46). A moving plate (35) is mounted in the receptacle 32 for movement along a connection direction (CD). The moving plate (35) has positioning holes (42) for positioning the tabs (33a) and cam pins (44) that engage cam grooves (39) of the levers (38) together with cam pins (24) of the mating housing (21).
