摘要:
A connector is provided to increase the strength for stopping a forward movement of a terminal fitting. The connector has a housing 11 with a cavity 12. A locking portion 18 is disposed in the cavity 12. Opposite side surfaces of a portion of a locking portion 18 more toward the leading end thereof than a locking projection 19 are cut off to form cut surfaces 21. Contact portions 23 projecting inward are formed continuously with a front wall 13 in areas of side surfaces of the cavity 12 facing the cut surfaces 21. Stabilizers 8 provided on a male terminal fitting 1 can come into contact with the back edges of the contact portions 23. A forward movement of the male terminal fitting 1 properly inserted is stopped by the contact with the front wall 13 and the contact of the stabilizers 8 with the contact portions 23. Since the contact portions 23 are formed taking advantage of spaces obtained by cutting off parts of the locking portion 18, they do not cause any enlargement of the cavity 12. Further, this portion of the locking portion 18 toward the leading end thereof from the locking projection 19 has almost no influence on the strength for locking the terminal fitting 1 so as not to be withdrawn backward, and the same degree of a locking force against the backward movement of the terminal fitting 1 as the locking portion of the prior art connector described above can be secured.
摘要:
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 terminal fitting (10) has a main body (11) and stabilizer (17) for preventing upside-down insertion stands up from a surface of the main body (11). Elongated projections (50) extend from a surface of the main body (11) opposite the stabilizer (17). If the male terminal fitting (10) is inserted upside down, the elongated projections (50) contact a bottom wall (24B) at the entrance of a cavity (24) during the insertion to shift the male terminal fitting (10) transversely. Thus, the stabilizer (17) is caught deeply by a ceiling wall (24C) at the entrance. As a result, the male terminal fitting (10) is prevented from any further insertion.

Female terminal fittings (30) are insertable from behind into cavities (11) in a female housing (10). A slanted guide surface (22) is formed at the peripheral rear edge of each cavity (11) for guiding the female terminal fitting (30) into the cavity (11) and is slanted at an obtuse angle to an inserting direction of the female terminal fitting (30). A stabilizer-inserting groove (20) is formed in a surface of the cavity (11) and has an open rear end into which a stabilizer (47) of the female terminal fitting (30) is insertable. A preventing surface (27) is provided at the peripheral rear edge of the cavity (11) and abuts the stabilizer (47) when the female terminal fitting (30) is inserted in an improper posture. An angle of the preventing surface (27) to the inserting direction is less than an angle of the slanted guide surface (22).
摘要:
A connector has a housing (30) with side-by-side cavities (31). A resiliently deformable lock (40) is formed in each cavity (31) for locking terminal fittings (10) in the respective cavities (31). Locks (40) of adjacent cavities (31) are coupled by coupling pieces (51) to enhance the strength of the locks (40).
摘要:
A connector has a housing (20) with cavities (25) for receiving terminal fittings (10). A resiliently deformable lock (30) extends along a wall (25A) of each cavity (25) and is configured for locking the terminal fitting in the cavity (25). An elongated projection (31) is formed at a widthwise center position of the upper surface of each lock (30) and an escaping groove (34) is formed in the wall (25A) of each cavity (25) for receiving the elongated projection (31) when the lock (30) deforms. The elongated projection (31) reinforces the lock (30) and provides a large engaging area with the terminal fitting (10). Additionally, the escaping groove (34) provides a necessary a deformation permitting space (35) for the thicker lock (30) without increasing the height of the housing (20).
摘要:
A female terminal fitting (30) is provided for insertion into a female housing (10) from behind. A rear end of an outer wall (37) of the female terminal fitting (30) extending along widthwise direction is embossed to project out, thereby forming a locking projection (52) with a vertex (A) at its front end. The female terminal fitting (30) is inserted into the female housing (10) and a lock (13) in the female housing (10) engages the locking projection (52). The locking projection (52) is more outward than an imaginary triangular pyramid (X) formed by connecting the vertex (A) at the front end, a pair of base end points (B) at the rear edge, and an outward-projecting end point (C).

A connector housing (20) has cavities (21) and locks (31) for engaging terminal fittings (10) inserted into the cavities (21). Each lock (31) has an arm (32) and a locking section (33) that projects up from the arm (32). A mold-removal hole (35) is formed in a front wall (27) and in the arm (32). A tab insertion hole (28) is formed in the front wall (27) above the mold-removal hole (35) for receiving a tab terminal (T), and a guide surface (29) is formed at the front edge of the tab insertion hole (28) for guiding the tab (T). Upwardly narrowed portions (38) narrowed are formed on the locking section (33) and have a height overlapping the height of the guide surface (29). Portions of the mold-removal hole (35) corresponding to the narrowed portions (38) define an M-shaped when viewed from the front.
摘要:
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, a spring holder being inserted into this female connector housing so that it can move in an anterior-posterior direction. This spring holder houses springs and, when the two connector housings are being fitted together, a locking arm rises over a stopping protrusion. As a result of the locking arm rising, the spring holder is restrained, its movement in a posterior direction is regulated, and the springs are compressed. When the connector housings are completely fitted together the locking arm springs down, releasing the spring holder, and allowing it to move in a posterior direction under the spring force. All of the half-fitting detector components are provided on one of the connector housings; the other connector housing requires no modification.
摘要:
A housing main body (20) is connectable with a mating male connector (M) and internally formed with an accommodating chamber (22) into which an auxiliary housing (30) can be accommodated. The housing main body (20) is formed with cavities (23) for accommodating female terminal fittings (40) electrically connectable with mating male terminal fittings (11), and the respective cavities (23) are arranged at positions symmetrical with respect to an axis of symmetry (L1). A lock arm (50) is disposed on the axis of symmetry (L1) of the respective cavities (23). The housing main body (20) is integrally formed with the lock arm (50) capable of holding the male connector (M) connected by the engagement with an engaging portion (16) of the male connector (M).
