摘要:
A male terminal fitting (1) has a rectangular tube (4). A locking edge (15) engageable with a locking portion provided in a cavity is formed over the entire width in an outer surface of a rectangular tube (4). No opening is formed in the outer surface of the rectangular tube portion (4) by forming this locking edge (15). Closing pieces (12) are provided at positions slightly retracted inwardly of the locking edge (15). Thus, problems such as the intrusion of external matter from the outside and the deformation of a leading end portion of another male terminal fitting (1) due to the entrance into the rectangular tube (4) can be avoided.

A female connector (F) has a housing (10) with a front end and cavities (11) extend to the front end. Terminal fittings (40) are mounted in the cavities (11). A front wall (50) is mounted on the front end of the housing (10) and is formed with tab insertion holes (51) that can communicate with cavities (11). An operable surface (59A) is exposed at an end surface of the front wall (50). The front wall (50) can be moved from a full locking position to a partial locking position along the front end of the housing (10) by pushing this operable surface (59A). Portions of the end surface of the front wall (50) other than the operable surface (59A) are covered at least partly by an wall (26) of the housing (10) to limit movement of the front wall (50).
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).
摘要:
A female housing (10) has cavities (11) into which female terminal fittings (30) are insertable from behind. A lock (13) projects forward from its base end and is restorable after being temporarily resiliently deformed by the female terminal fitting (30) being inserted, thereby engaging and locking the female terminal fitting (30) in the cavity (11). Maneuverable recesses (24) maneuverable by a disengagement jig (60) from front are provided at positions on the front surface of each lock (13) retracted from the locked terminal fitting (30) and within a width range of a locking surface of the lock (13) engageable with the terminal fitting (30) and located more toward the base end of the locking portion than the locking surface.
摘要:
A female terminal fitting (10) has a tubular main body (11) with front and rear ends and a bottom wall (13). A fold (20) is folded back from the front end of the bottom wall (13) and a resilient contact piece (18) extends back from the fold (20) to face the bottom wall (13). A bulge (23) on the resilient contact piece (18) includes a contact (25) for contacting a tab (T) of a male terminal fitting (M). The contact (25) is pressed by the tab (T) so that the resilient contact piece (18) is deformed with the fold (20) as a supporting point and an extending end (26) thereof contacts the bottom wall (13). The resilient contact piece (18) has a front narrowed portion (29) between the fold (20) and the contact (25) and a rear narrowed portion 30 between the contact (25) and the extending end (26).
摘要:
A terminal fitting (30) is provided for insertion into a female housing (10) from behind. The terminal fitting (30) has an outer wall (37) with a cut-away portion (44) that permits entrance of a lock (13). Thus, the outer wall (37) is divided into a front portion and a rear portion. A locking projection (52) with which the lock (13) is engageable for locking is provided by causing a front cut end of the cut-away portion (44) to project outward. The lock (13) is engageable with a front cut end surface (44a) of the cut-away portion (44) including the locking projection (52).
摘要:
A terminal fitting (30) has a rectangular tubular main body (31) with a ceiling wall (33), first and second sidewalls (34, 35) extending down from the opposite sides of the ceiling wall (33), a bottom wall (36) projecting from the first sidewall (34) to face the ceiling wall (33), and an outer wall (37) projecting from the second side wall (35) and placed on the outer side of the bottom wall (36). A front-portion holding piece (50) projects from a front portion (37a) of the outer wall (37) and engages a front-portion holding groove (51) in the first sidewall (34). A restrictable projection (70) is provided at the rear end of the front-portion holding piece (50), and engages a restricting groove (71) of the front-portion holding groove (51) for restricting an opening deformation of the outer wall (37).
摘要:
A connector has a housing (20) and a retainer (40) with a pair of side pieces (42). The side pieces (42) are fitted into retainer mount recesses (31) in the opposite side surfaces of the housing (20). Dovetail grooves (34) and dovetail projections (46) are provided between the side pieces (42) of the retainer (40) and the housing (20). Thus, disengagement of the side pieces (42) from the retainer mount recesses (31) can be prevented, thereby preventing the retainer (40) from being detached from the housing (20) while operating the retainer (40).
摘要:
A cover (50) is installed on a rear side of a female housing (21) of a female connector (20) to be fitted on a male connector (10). A shaft hole (73) of a lever (70) is fit on a shaft (51) that projects from a front end of the cover (50). Thus the lever (70) can be rotated around the shaft (51). The lever (70) has a cam groove (74) that engages a follower pin (17) of the male connector (10). The follower pin (17) penetrates into the cam groove 74 with the rotation of the lever (70). A lever accommodation portion (40) is formed on upper and lower walls of a female-side hood part (23). The lever (70) is accommodated in the lever accommodation portion (40), and is sandwiched between a wall (41) and an accommodation wall (42) without forming a gap therebetween. A reinforcing wall (43) connects a front end of the wall (41) and that of the accommodation wall (42) to each other.
摘要:
When a stationary metallic mold and a movable metallic mold are closed, a housing is molded having a retainer insertion hole by the existence of a sliding mold. A retainer is also molded. First, when only the metallic mold is opened, the core pin is withdrawn, and the sliding mold is withdrawn in the longitudinal direction by the cam action of the angular pin, so that the molding portion is withdrawn from the retainer insertion hole. Successively, the sliding mold is relatively drawn out to the front of the advancing and withdrawing passage together with the stationary metallic mold, and the advancing and withdrawing passage becomes open. Next, an auxiliary sliding mold is advanced, and the retainer held by the auxiliary sliding mold is inserted into the retainer insertion hole and temporarily assembled to the housing. It is possible to insert the retainer straight into the retainer insertion hole. The finished product is protruded to the front of the movable metallic mold by the protruding pin.
