摘要:
A retainer guide groove having guiding faces which are in parallel with a direction of inserting the retainer into a connector housing and opposed to each other is formed in an inner side face of a side wall of the connector housing. A retainer insertion direction restricting arm having guided faces is formed in the retainer. The guided faces are guided in the retainer guide groove while being respectively in sliding contact with the opposing guiding faces of the retainer guide groove when the retainer is to be inserted into the connector housing. A terminal engagement portion is disposed in the retainer. The terminal engagement portion prevents a connecting terminal which is provisionally inserted into the terminal housing chamber of the connector housing when the retainer is provisionally positioned with respect to the connector housing, from slipping off from the terminal housing chamber.

An electrical connector (1) comprises an insulated housing (2), a number of terminals (3) received in a number of passageways (21) of the insulated housing (2) and a separate spacer (4) which attaches to the housing. The spacer defines a number of through holes (45) each having a configuration of “T” consisted by a wide portion (451) and a narrow portion (453) and corresponding with the passageway. A recess (455) is defined on a bottom of the narrow portion which is far from the wide portion of each through hole and the recess does not run through the spacer. The terminals each are received in the passageway with a pair of shoulders extending from both sides of the connecting portion of the terminal. The shoulders are finally plunged in the recesses to make sure that the terminals will be received in the passageways of the housing without a sliding movement relative to the housing.

The module comprises a connection box that can be coupled to a similar box belonging to a complementary module, and a retention plate adapted to lock each of a number of electric contacts between a shoulder of a passage and a resilient pawl integral with the relation plate, which is movable between a retracted contact-insertion/-extraction position and a forward contact-retention position. Each pawl is extended by a finger having a curved end and a shape such that it is stopped against a terminal projection of the box when the plate is in its retracted position, and it then moves the pawl away from the contact-retention position thereof.

A terminal retainer system is disclosed for an electrical connector assembly. The system includes a dielectric connector housing having a plurality of terminal-receiving passages and a retainer slot adjacent the passages. A plurality of conductive terminals are insertable in an insertion direction into the terminal-receiving passages. Each terminal includes an engaging portion. A terminal retainer is insertable into the retainer slot in a direction generally parallel to the insertion direction of the terminals to a pre-load position allowing insertion of the terminals into the passages. The terminal retainer is movable in a direction transverse to the insertion direction of the terminals from the pre-load position to a retaining position in engagement with the engaging portions of the terminals to retain the terminals in the passages.

An electrical connector includes a housing having a forward mating end and a rearward terminating end and at least one terminal-receiving cavity extending along an axis in a direction between the ends. A terminal is insertable into the cavity from the rearward terminating end of the housing. The terminal has a transversely enlarged portion located at a given axial position when the terminal is fully inserted into the cavity. A TPA device is engageable with the housing at the rearward terminating end thereof. The TPA device includes at least two parts interconnected for relative movement transversely of the axis between open and closed positions. The parts define a passage therebetween for receiving the terminal therethrough when the parts are in their open position. The parts are adapted to abut the enlarged portion of the terminal to prevent movement of the parts to their closed position in the event the terminal is not at least substantially inserted into the cavity and, thereby, indicating a condition of incomplete insertion of the terminal.

A housing has guide holes that have stair-like surfaces constituted by horizontal wall surfaces and slanting surfaces that are continuously connected together. A retainer has guide pieces that have horizontal wall surfaces and a slanting surface that are continuously connected together. When the guide pieces are inserted into the guide holes, respectively, the slanting surfaces are abutted against each other to achieve a provisionally-locked condition. Thereafter, when the retainer is pushed forwardly, the guide piece moves obliquely in the guide hole along their slanting surfaces, and therefore moves downward and forward to reach a completely-locked position.

A double-lock connector includes a connector housing having terminal receiving chambers, metal terminals for being inserted respectively into the terminal receiving chambers, and a terminal retainer connectable to a rear end portion of the connector housing in a two-stage manner, that is, in a provisionally-connected condition and a completely-connected condition, wherein even when the terminal retainer in the provisionally-connected condition, the metal terminal can be smoothly inserted into the connector housing. The double-lock connector of the present invention includes a connector housing and a terminal retainer for being inserted into the connector housing. The connector housing has a plurality of terminal receiving chambers which are separated from one another by a horizontal partition wall and a vertical partition wall. An elastic retaining piece is provided within each of the terminal receiving chambers. A rearwardly-extending tongue-like terminal guide piece is formed on the horizontal partition wall, separating the upper and lower terminal receiving chambers from each other, and is disposed centrally with the width of each terminal receiving chamber. A front end of the terminal guide piece is extended substantially to an inlet end of the connector housing.
摘要:
A connector including a separate terminal retainer for retaining terminals in a connector housing where the retainer can be disengaged from the connector housing without the use of external jigs. The connector includes the connector housing having a plurality of terminal accommodating chambers, and the terminal retainer adapted to be connected to a rear portion of the connector housing in a two-step manner, i.e. a provisional engagement condition and a complete engagement condition, and movable relative to the connector housing. The terminal retainer has flexible retaining pieces and flexible support pieces. In the complete engagement condition, the flexible retaining pieces are engaged with respective metal terminals by their own flexibility, and the flexible support pieces are guided and elastically bent by the drive surfaces of the connector housing to be engaged with respective metal terminals. When the terminal retainer is moved backward from the complete engagement condition beyond the provisional engagement condition, the flexible retaining pieces ride onto projections of the connector housing to be displaced out of the locus of movement of the metal terminals being removed. The metal terminal can be easily removed from the connector housing without using any jigs.
摘要:
An electrical connector includes a housing having terminal chambers, terminals which are inserted into the chambers, and a terminal engagement holder provided with a locking anchor for an engagement portion of the housing in order to be assembled with the housing by two-steps of manipulation, which are a step of tentatively engaging the holder with the housing, and the other step of thereafter engaging the holder with the housing on a full scale. The locking anchor functions to urge the holder toward the housing while the holder is in the full-scale engagement with the rear portion of the housing, so that the holder can be surely engaged with the housing on the full scale even if the rear end of each of the terminals is located slightly behind a prescribed position.
