摘要:
L-shaped terminal fittings (11A, 11B) have terminal connecting portions (12) at one end. The terminal connecting portions (12) are pressed into upper and lower stages of a housing (20) for connection with a mating terminal. Narrower board connecting portions (13) are at the opposite ends of the terminal fittings (11A, 11B) and have mounting portions (16) to be soldered to a PCB (40). The terminal connecting portions (12) of the upper stage align respectively with the terminal connecting portions (12) of the lower stage. However, the board connecting portions (13) in the upper and lower stages are offset laterally with respect to longitudinal axes (X) of the terminal connecting portions (12). Additionally, all of the board connecting portions (13) of the terminal fittings (11A, 11B) are arrayed in one row equally spaced from the housing (20).

A female housing (40) has a lock arm (40) with an arm main body (43) that cantilevers back from the front of the female housing (40). A lock (46) is formed on the arm main body (43). An unlocking portion (44) is at the rear end of the arm main body (43) and extends normal to the arm main body (43). Arm portions (55) project obliquely downward from the opposite sides of the unlocking portion (44), and are coupled to protection walls (52) to sandwich the unlocking portion (44). Two restricting walls (55) project from the upper ends of the protection walls (52) at positions behind the arm portions (50) and higher than the arm portions (50) and face each other. The restricting walls (55) prevent an operator's finger from touching the arm portions (50).

Collision preventing projections (50) are provided on an outer surface of a female housing (20) and will contact an opening of a receptacle (11) of a male housing (10) if a main portion (21) of the female housing (20) is inserted into a receptacle (11) in an oblique posture. Thus, the collision preventing projections (50) ensure that the main portion (21) and male terminals (12) are spaced apart when the main portion (21) is pushed into the receptacle (11) in this oblique posture.

A wire connection sleeve includes a pipe-like outer tube (20) and an inner tube (30) inserted inside this outer tube (20). The inner tube (30) is formed by winding a sheet-like metal material (P) formed with projections or recesses into a tubular shape with both ends being open, and a longitudinal middle part of this inner tube (30) serves as an inner-tube small-diameter portion (32) which is so squashed or deformed that the opening size thereof is smaller than those of the opposite longitudinal ends.

A connector (10) has a terminal fitting (17) press-fit into a terminal holding portion (18). The terminal fitting (17) has a wide rectangular cross-sectional shape and includes a lower surface (17A), two side surfaces (17B) standing upward from the opposite lateral edges of the lower surface (17A) and an upper surface (17C) connecting the upper edges of the side surfaces (17B). The terminal holding portion (18) includes two side walls (18B) that interfere with the side surfaces (17B), a bottom wall (18A) formed with lower interfering portions (18E) that interfere with non-touching parts (17D) of the lower surface portion (17A) not to be held in contact with a mating terminal fitting (21) and a ceiling wall (18C) formed with upper interfering portions (18D) that interfere with non-touching parts (17D) of the upper surface (17C) not to be held in contact with the mating terminal fitting (21).
摘要:
Male connectors (10) are accommodated in an ECU casing C, and connect with female connectors (20) connected with ends of wires (Wa). The male and female connectors (10, 20) are locked together by engaging a lock (45) on a lock arm (40) of the female connector (20) with an engaging portion (47) of the male connector (10). The fracture strength of the engaging portion (47) of the male connector (10) exceeds the fracture strength of the lock (45) of the female connector (20). Thus, an excessive force acting to separate the locked connectors (10, 20) will fracture the lock (45) of the female connector (20) first to cancel the locked state. This avoids fracturing the engaging portion (47) of the male connector (10).
摘要:
Receiving portions (26, 27) for partial locking and full locking are formed on walls of a retainer mount hole (24) in a housing (10). The receiving portions (27) for full locking are before the receiving portions (26) for partial locking with respect to an inserting direction of a retainer (30). Resiliently deformable holding arms (35A, 35B) for partial locking and full locking are cantilevered on the retainer (30), and locking sections (41, 42) resiliently engageable with the corresponding receiving portions (26, 27) are formed at the free ends of the holding arms (35A, 35B). The holding arms (35A) for full locking extend in the inserting direction of the retainer (30) from their supported ends to their free ends, whereas the holding arms (35B) for partial locking extend in a direction opposite from the inserting direction of the retainer (30) from their supported ends to their free ends.

A board connector (10) has a housing (20) with a terminal holding portion (40) for holding terminals (30) in forward and backward directions and a receptacle extends forward from the terminal holding portion (40). Mount grooves (60) are formed in side walls (52) of the receptacle (50). Board fixing portions (70) are held in the mount grooves (60) within the thickness range of the side walls and are soldered to the upper surface of a printed board (P). Mounting portions (54) are formed in the side walls (52) and have open front ends. Restricting members (80) are formed separately from the mating connector and mountable within the thickness range of the side walls (52) forward of the board fixing portions (70). One end of each restricting member (54) engages lower surfaces (54A) of the mounting portions (54) and the other end engages the lower surface of the printed board (P).

A wire connection sleeve includes a pipe-like outer tube (20) and an inner tube (30) inserted inside this outer tube (20). The inner tube (30) is formed by winding a sheet-like metal material (P) formed with projections or recesses into a tubular shape with both ends being open, and a longitudinal middle part of this inner tube (30) serves as an inner-tube small-diameter portion (32) which is so squashed or deformed that the opening size thereof is smaller than those of the opposite longitudinal ends. Thus, connection reliability at connected parts of wires (W) can be improved.
摘要:
A female terminal fitting (12) has wire barrels (17) to be crimped around a core (10) that extends in a first direction. A connecting portion (18) extends from the wire barrels (17) and is connectable with a male terminal fitting. The wire barrels (17) have a contact surface (22) to be held in contact with the core (10). Grooves (30) are formed in a surface of the wire barrels (17) opposite to the contact surface (22) and extend in a second direction intersecting the first direction.
