摘要:
A terminal fitting has a rectangular tube (10) formed with a locking hole (19). A resilient contact piece (25) is in the rectangular tube (10) for contacting a tab of a mating terminal fitting. Displacement restricting portions (15F, 15R, 18F, 18R) are provided in the rectangular tube (10) at positions before and behind the locking hole (19) for contacting lateral edges of the resilient contact piece (25) and restricting displacement of a resilient contact piece (25) towards a tab entrance space (32). Thus, external matter that may intrude through the locking hole (19) can not cause a damaging deformation of the resilient contact piece (25).

A terminal fitting (T) has a rectangular tube (10). A resilient locking piece (25) is accommodated in a rectangular tube portion (10) and a locking hole (19) in the tube (10) exposes the resilient locking piece (25). A side plate (13R) of the rectangular tube (10) is provided with an intrusion restricting portion (21) near the resilient contact piece (25) and in an opening area of the locking hole (19). Thus, the intrusion of an external matter through the locking hole (19) can be restricted by the intrusion restricting portion (21), thereby preventing the interference of the external matter with the resilient contact piece (25).
摘要:
A female terminal fitting (20) has an approximately tubular connection portion (22) with an open front end for receiving a tab (14) of a male terminal fitting (10). Concavities (30) extend longitudinally in the connection portion (22) at positions opposed to side surfaces of the tab (14). The concavities (30) enable the outside width (W) of the connection portion (22) to be small while securing a large clearance (C) outward from the side surfaces of the tab (14). The concavities (30) do not significantly decrease the strength of the entire connection portion (22). Additionally, the large clearance (C) avoids the need for highly accurate manufacturing.
摘要:
A female housing is provided with cavities (41) into which terminal fittings are insertable, and locks (43) provided in the cavities (41) and resiliently engageable with the terminal fittings being inserted to lock the terminal fittings. Openings (64) formed by removing a mold for forming locking surfaces (58) of the locks (43) engageable with the female terminals are so formed in the female housing as to be open forward. Each lock (43) is supported at both front and rear ends, and a section thereof projecting more forward than the locking surface (58) is connected with side surfaces (64b, 64c) of the circumferential surfaces of the corresponding opening (64) extending along a deforming direction of the lock (43).
摘要:
A connector has a housing (20) formed with cavities (21) for receiving terminal fittings (10). A retainer insertion hole (27) is formed in the bottom surface of the housing (20) over the entire width, and a retainer (40) provided with fasteners (44) is insertable into the retainer insertion hole (27). Locking pieces (45) at the opposite ends of the retainer (40) engage in insertion grooves (29) formed in side surfaces of the housing (20). The insertion grooves (29) cut the outer side surfaces of the cavities (21) at the opposite ends, and the locking pieces (45) serve as side walls of the cavities (21) when the retainer (40) is mounted.
摘要:
Cavities (21) into which terminal fittings (10) are insertable from behind are arranged at upper and lower stages in a housing (20), and locks (28) are provided at the lower surfaces of the respective cavities (21). Each lock (28) is formed by cutting a partition wall (22) partitioning the upper and lower cavities (21) or a bottom wall (23) of the housing (20), and includes an arm (29) supported at both front and rear ends. A locking section (30) engageable with an engaging edge (15) of the corresponding terminal fitting (10) is provided on the upper surface of each arm portion (29) to project into the cavity (21). When the terminal fitting (10) is inserted into the cavity (21), the locking section (30) is pushed by the terminal fitting (10) to resiliently deform the arm (29) into a substantially arched shape with its coupled portions at the front and rear ends as supporting points.
摘要:
A terminal fitting (30) has a substantially box-shaped main body (31) with a base plate (36), first and second side plates (37, 38) projecting from the base plate (36), and outer and inner projecting plates (39, 40) projecting from the side plates (37, 38). The outer projecting plate (39) has a recess (50) for receiving a lock when the terminal fitting (30) is inserted into a cavity of a housing. The recess (50) is rectangular and an opening edge thereof is continuous over the entire periphery. A holding piece (51) projects from an edge of the inner projecting plate (40) and fits into the recess (50) for keeping the box shape of the main portion (31).
摘要:
A connector has a housing (40) with cavities (41) and resiliently deformable locks (43) that project into the cavities (41). Terminal fittings (10) are insertable into the cavities (41) and deform the locks (43) in a deforming direction (DD) that intersects the inserting and withdrawing directions (IWD) of the terminal fitting (10). The locks (43) then restore and locking surfaces (64) of the locks (43) lock the terminal fittings (10) in the cavities (41). Each locking surface (64) has an upper locking surface (58) furthest into the cavity (41) and a lower locking surface (61). The lower locking surface (61) is at an obtuse angle to the withdrawing direction of the terminal fitting (10), whereas an angle of the upper locking surface (58) to the withdrawing direction is smaller than the angle of the lower locking surface (61).
摘要:
A connector has a housing (20) with a receptacle (22) and locks (24) for engaging male terminal fittings (10) in the housing (20). A retainer (30) is mounted in the receptacle (22) and has a preventing plate (31) that projects into a deformation permitting spaces (25) for preventing resilient deformation of locks (24) and doubly locking the terminal fittings (10) in the housing (20). A mating housing (60) can be fit into the receptacle (22) and pushes the retainer (30) back to a pushed-in position while resiliently compressing a spring (43). When the housing (60) is withdrawn from the receptacle (22), the retainer (30) is pushed back by a resilient restoring force of the spring (43). During this time, insertion holes (32) of the retainer (30) move along tabs (12) of the terminal fittings (10) for automatically correcting misalignment.
摘要:
A connector has a housing (10) with cavities (11) into which terminal fittings (30) are insertable. Locks (13) in the housing (10) deform during insertion of the terminal fittings (30) into the cavities (11), but then resiliently restore to lock the terminal fittings (30) in the cavities (11). Lowered portions (12a) of a bottom wall (12) of the housing (10) face the locks (12) and prevent the locks (13) from being excessively deformed. The bottom surface of each lock (13) has a convex arcuate surface (13c) and each lowered portion (12a) of the bottom wall (12) has a recess (12b) substantially conforming to the convex arcuate surface (13c) to accommodate the convex arcuate surface (13c) when the lock (13) deforms.
