A female terminal includes a female terminal member and a protective sleeve. The female terminal member has a receptacle section to which a male terminal is to be connected and an electrical wire connecting section to which an electrical wire is to be connected. The receptacle section has a base cylindrical part and a flexible contact part extending from the base cylindrical part. The protective sleeve for protectively covering the receptable section of the female terminal member is fitted around the receptacle section. The sleeve has a base cylindrical portion fixedly fitted onto the base cylindrical part of the receptacle section and an enlarged diameter portion integrally connected to the base cylindrical portion through a step portion. When the female terminal thus constituted is fitted in a connector housing, at least one stopper arm provided in the connector housing come to engage with the step portion to securely hold the female terminal in the housing. The engagement between the stopper arm and the step portion of the female sleeve is made relatively near from a front opening of the housing.

An electrical socket contact for receiving a pin contact comprises an electrical socket contact portion which includes a pair of spring tines having free ends, extending as cantilevers from a body thereof and opposite to each other. Flat contact portions having respectively a converging contact point which projects inward are formed at the free ends of the spring tines. Since a pair of the spring tines are formed so that two lines linking the converging contact points opposite to each other with respect to sections thereof are substantially orthogonal, it is possible to precisely and easily measure the distances between the contact points of the spring tines to define an opening for receiving the pin contact.

In a connector equipped with a rear holder, the rear holder in an open state is coupled with a housing of the connector by a fixing belt. A rear holder mounting device is provided with a cutter and slide bar. The cutter is moved to cut the fixing belt. The slide bar is moved to close the rear holder so that the rear holder is engaged in the housing. Thus, working before mounting the rear holder in the connector can be smoothly carried out. The rear holder, without being damaged or deformed, can be easily mounted in the connector.

An insulating base plate 113 of a housing 11 includes an upper plate portion 114, a lower plate portion 115, and reinforcing plate portions 116 are formed on and extend between the upper and lower plate portions 114 and 115, and are disposed respectively at those portions of the upper and lower plate portions corresponding respectively to positions where wires of a wire harness W are press-connected to respective terminals. With this construction, the weight of the housing can be reduced because of the provision of hollow portions 117. And besides, since the reinforcing plate portions 116 are formed at those portions of the insulating base plate corresponding respectively to the positions where the wires of the wire harness W are press-connected to the respective terminals, the press-connecting operation can be carried out in a stable manner without flexing the insulating base plate 113. Therefore, the press-connecting metal terminals 13 will not be displaced upward and downward, and each wire of the wire harness W is prevented from being disposed out of alignment with the associated press-connecting metal terminal 13.

A terminal crimping method utilizing an anvil (5) which has a receiving surface (20) to receive an electrical terminal (4) and a punching hole (6) penetrating through the anvil (5) with an opening in the receiving surface (20). A crimper (2) has a curved surface to crimp the terminal (4). An auxiliary punch (8) has a protrusion (7) that can pass through the punching hole (6) to extend from the opening in the receiving surface (20). A wire core portion (25) is crimped to the electrical terminal (4) between the crimper (2) and the anvil (5). Then, the auxiliary punch (8) strikes out a crimped portion (21) to form a concave portion (27) in the state that the crimped portion (21) is compressed by the crimper (2) and the anvil (5).

A connector body has a horizontal flat base plate, and vertical partition walls are formed on the flat base plate to form terminal receiving chambers each having an open top or bottom serving as a wire press-fitting opening. Tension-absorbing plates and are pivotally connected to a rear end of the flat base plate through respective hinge portions. The tension-absorbing plate is disposed generally flush with the flat base plate, and the tension-absorbing plate is pivotally movable into an upstanding position.

Connectors with a lever in which a pair of male and female connectors are mated with and disconnected from each other by rotating the lever. The lever having cam grooves and a lock portion is rotatably attached to the female connector. Cam pins are attached to the male connector. When both connectors are initially mated with each other, the cam pins engage with the cam grooves, and when the lever is rotated in a direction in which both connectors are mated with each other, the male connector moves toward the female connector. An elastic locking member is interposed between the lever and the female connector. An operational portion, reverse spring portions for urging the lever toward a direction opposite to that in which both connectors are mated, and lock spring portions to be engaged with the lock portion of the lever so as to maintain the lever in a locked position, are all integrally formed in the elastic locking member. The elastic locking member is elastically displaced by pressing the operational portion so as to disengage the lock portion of the lever from the lock spring portions of the elastic locking member. The reverse spring portions retain the lever in the released position. The locking member for locking the lever and the reverse spring portions for retaining the lever in a released position are integrally formed.

According to the present invention, cam grooves are formed in a lower surface of a rotation plate of a cam member, and are disposed symmetrically with respect to a rotation shaft. A rotation retaining plate is mounted on a distal end of the rotation shaft. A pair of housing have cam follower pins, respectively, which are engaged in the cam grooves, respectively. One housing has a pin guide groove which guides the rotation shaft and the cam follower pin. A flexible lock member having a lock release projection is provided at an introduction groove of one cam groove in the rotation plate. Upon the initial fitting of the pair of housings, the cam follower pin is engaged with the lock release projection to release the locking of the rotation plate by the flexible lock member, thereby allowing the angular movement of the cam member.

A connector having a pair of opposed housings capable of being fitted to and detached from each other, guide slits formed in one of the housings, driven pins provided on the other housing, and a lever rotatably attached to the one of the housings and capable of engaging with the driven pins. The housings are fitted to or detached from each other by an operation of rotating the lever. Mating engagement holes and projections capable of engaging with each other when the housings are normally fitted are provided on one of the housings and the lever, and other engagement holes and projections for fitting confirmation are provided on the other housing and the lever. Therefore the operator can easily confirm the locked state of the lever with eye. Also, the facility with which the connector is designed and manufactured is improved.
