摘要:
A copper alloy for terminals of the Cu—Ni—Sn—P system or Cu—Ni—Sn—P—Zn system and that has a tensile strength of at least 500 N/mm2, a spring limit of at least 400 N/mm2, a stress relaxation of no more than 10%, a conductivity of at least 30% IACS and a bending workability in terms of a R/t ratio of no more than 2. The spring portion or the entire part of such terminals are produced from the copper alloy, and have an initial insertion/extraction force of 1.5 N to 30 N and a resistance of no more than 3 m&OHgr; at low voltage and low current as initial performance. The terminals experience not more than 20% stress relaxation. The alloy is superior to the conventional bronze, phosphor bronze and Cu—Sn—Fe—P alloys for terminals in terms of tensile strength, spring limit, stress relaxation characteristics and conductivity and, hence, the terminals manufactured from such alloys have higher performance and reliability than terminals made of the conventional copper alloys for terminals.

Elastic retaining lances (161, 162), provided in a connector housing (2), serve also as partition walls of terminal receiving chambers (3), and project into the terminal receiving chambers (3). Slanting partition walls (101, 102) are disposed rearwardly of the retaining lances (161, 162) in continuous relation thereto, and the slanting partition walls (101, 102) are continuous with horizontal rear partition walls (91, 92). Front partition walls (222, 223) are disposed forwardly of the retaining lances (161, 162), and are disposed respectively at levels equal respectively to levels of the rear partition walls (91, 92), and each of the front partition walls (222, 223) has a tapering guide surface (22a) for urging a distal end of the terminal in a direction of flexion of the retaining lance (161, 162). The distance (L4) between the front partition walls (222, 223) is at least the sum of a height of the terminal and a margin (L1) for the flexion of the retaining lance (161). The front partition walls (222, 223) are formed on a front holder (4). The slanting partition walls (101, 102) are formed on a terminal-retaining spacer (6), and serve also as terminal-retaining walls. The terminal includes a first engagement step portion for engagement with the retaining lance (162), and a second engagement step portion for engagement with the slanting partition wall (102), and the second engagement step portion is lower in height than the first engagement step portion.

A terminal for charging with large current, used for charge of an electric vehicle for example, is provided, wherein unequal deformation of leaf spring pieces acting as contacts on a female terminal side is prevented for attaining sure electrical contact between a male terminal and a female terminal. The terminal includes: a female terminal having a terminal accommodating chamber with an inlet portion having a larger diameter formed at an inlet thereof for accommodating a rod-like male terminal; a contact spring member with a lot of arced leaf spring pieces integrally linked at one side to form a substantially cylindrical shape and a fixing rib projecting in a radial direction to abut on an inlet wall portion of the inlet portion; and a cap having a terminal insertion hole to put the male terminal therethrough and attached to the inlet portion to hold the fixing rib for fixing the contact spring member in the terminal accommodating chamber. Thus, each of free ends of the leaf spring pieces is capable of freely sliding on a surface of the terminal accommodating chamber in the axial direction upon insertion or pulling-out of the male terminal so that each of the leaf spring pieces surely gets in contact with an outer surface of the male terminal for attaining sure electrical contact between the male and female terminals.

A female terminal for a large current is provided which includes a tubular contact portion having an inlet for inserting a terminal pin of a male terminal. The female terminal for a large current also includes a plurality of projections formed on an inner face of the tubular contact portion, which is adjacent to the inlet, which has adequate spaces therebetween, and which protrudes inwardly of the tubular contact portion. The plurality of projections are formed from outside of the terminal contact portion easily and at a low cost.

A method for shifting a terminal which has been incompletely inserted into a terminal accommodating chamber of a connector housing of a connector for use in a wiring harness for motor vehicles to completely insert the terminal by the use of an inserted position correcting jig is provided. The method includes inserting a front end portion of the inserted terminal position correcting jig into an opening formed in a peripheral wall extending from a rear portion of the connector housing. The opening functions as a pivot center and has a correcting operation checking member therein to thereby shift the jig toward the housing pivoting on the opening. The jig is thus fitted with the rear end portion of the terminal which is still in an incompletely inserted state so as to shift the terminal to a completely inserted position and securely lock the terminal. Since the correcting operation checking member formed in the opening is removed when the front end portion of the jig is inserted, whether or not the correcting operation is perfectly done can be checked from outside by a removal or deformation of the correcting operation checking member.

A plurality of kinds of multi-pole sub-connectors are provided with retaining means for retaining them on a frame, and provisionally-retaining projections. If an erroneous insertion is not encountered, the multi-pole sub-connectors are fitted in the frame, and are retained relative thereto, and thus are integrally connected together to provide a first connector. A second connector (i.e., a mating connector) to be connected to this first connector is provided with provisionally-retaining arms each of which forces a corresponding one of the multi-pole sub-connectors from the frame if this corresponding sub-connector is incompletely retained on the frame.

A dummy plug is composed of a shielding plug to be inserted in a terminal accommodating chamber and a shielding plug holding means, wherein the shielding plug holding means further comprises; a lid portion which is formed larger than an inner diameter of the terminal accommodating chamber, a pushing projection for pushing the shielding plug formed on one side surface of the lid portion, and a housing locking section formed integrally with the lid portion. With the construction above, when the shielding plug is pressed by the pushing projection to be inserted into the terminal accommodating chamber and the housing locking section thereof is engaged with a locking claw provided at the outer circumferential surface of the connector housing, the pushing projection and the housing locking section can be observed from outside, and the location of the shielding plug stuffed in the terminal accommodating chamber can be consistent, so that even a conventionally adopted connector terminal checking tool can be used.
