摘要:
A connector housing is provided to prevent a locking portion from being excessively deformed when the insufficient insertion of a terminal fitting is detected. Cavities 3 are provided in two stages in the connector housing, and locking portions 11 are arranged back to back to share deformation permitting spaces 16. The upper and lower locking portions 11 are arranged such that the longitudinal axes thereof are transversely offset to each other. Detecting portions 23 to be inserted into the deformation permitting spaces 16 project from a retainer 20. At the left and right ends of an inserting end surface 24 of each detecting portion 23, excessive deformation preventing portions 25 are formed symmetrically with respect to vertical direction. The excessive deformation preventing portions 25 can individually come into contact with leading ends 13 of the upper and lower locking portions 11. If a female terminal fitting 8 is insufficiently inserted as in the upper stage of FIG. 7, the retainer 20 may further deform the locking portion 11 after coming into contact therewith, while being inserted. However, the excessive elastic deformation of the locking portion 11 is restricted by the leading end 13 thereof being brought into contact with the excessive deformation preventing portion 25 at the lower side.

When two connector housings are half fitted together, a fitting detecting connector causes one of the connector housings to be pushed in a direction of separation by means of springs which are provided within a female connector housing 5, a spring holder 15 being inserted into this female connector housing 5 so that it can move in an anterior-posterior direction. This spring holder 15 houses coiled springs 16 and, when the two connector housings are being fitted together, a locking arm 11 rises over a stopping protrusion 2. As a result of this rising up the spring holder 15 is engaged, its movement in a posterior direction is regulated, and the coiled springs 16 are compressed. When the connector housings are completely fitted together the locking arm 11 again moves, releasing the engagement of the spring holder 15, and the spring holder 15 is pushed in a posterior direction by the spring force. In this way the separating force does not act when the connector housings are fully engaged.

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).

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).
摘要:
A connector housing (10) has a terminal accommodating portion (11) with cavities (13) at upper and lower stages, and locks (21) project respectively into each cavity (13). Each lock (21) has a resiliently deformable arm (22) and a locking section (23) engageable with a female terminal fitting (30). A retainer (40) is mounted on the terminal accommodating portion (11) and has deformation restricting portions (44) that enter deformation spaces (24) for the locks (21) to prevent deformation of the locks (21). Each arm (22) has an engaging portion (29). Engaging portions (29B) at the lower stage engage a side wall (25A) of the cavity (13A) at the upper stage during the deformation of the lock (21B). Engaging portions (29A) at the upper stage engage a surrounding wall (41) of the retainer (40) during deformation of the lock (21A). Thus, the locks (21) cannot deform beyond their resiliency limit.
