摘要:
A holding tool (40) is inserted into a retainer-attaching hole or a holding tool-accommodating space (22) with the holding tool (40) supporting a short-circuit terminal (15) therein. The short-circuit terminal (15) is inserted into a cavity (14) in a connector housing (10) by pushing a rear end of the terminal (15) through a handling aperture (23) by means of a pushing pin (45). Since the terminal (15) is inserted into the connector housing (10) from its lower side, a front opening of the cavity (14) can be formed into the smallest size so that a short-circuit-releasing member (31) can enter the opening (20). Extraneous substances hardly enter the cavity (14) in the connector housing (10) through the opening (20). Also, since the handling aperture (23) may be formed into the smallest size so that the pushing pin (45) can enter the aperture (23), the connector housing (10) becomes a small size. Thus, the connector housing (10) can be prevented from becoming a large-sized configuration and from entrance of the extraneous substances through the front opening (20) of the cavity (14).

A cover 20 is attached to connector body 10, and has a connecting and supporting member 30 engageable with a receiving member 16. Once engaged the member 30 cannot be removed. The connecting and supporting member 30 can be released only by breaking a breakable member 32. Consequently the connection of the cover 20 with the connector body 10 is maintained with certainty. In a preferred embodiment a part of the breakable member 31 is retained after breaking, this giving evidence that the cover has been removed.

A second housing (20) is formed with an oscillating portion (24) for creating an aerial vibration by the collision with a resiliently restored lock arm (13) and a resonance space (25) for causing the aerial vibration created by the oscillating portion (24) to resonate. When the lock arm (13) is resiliently restored, the aerial vibration created by the oscillating portion (24) upon the collision with the lock arm (13) resonates in the resonance space (25), and a collision sound of the lock arm (13) and the oscillating portion (24) is amplified by this resonance.

A connector is provided with male terminal fittings (30), seals (50) mountable on the male terminal fittings (30), and a housing (10) formed with cavities (14) for accommodating the male terminal fittings (30) with the seals (50) held in close contact with the inner wall surfaces of the cavities (14). Each seal (50) is mounted on a tab (31) located before a wire barrel (32) in the male terminal fitting (30). Accordingly, even if water enters through the inside of the wire (90), an arrival of the water at mating portions of male and female terminal fittings (30, 80) can be avoided.
摘要:
A horizontally inserted retainer is mounted in a housing, and can be moved between a temporary locked position which allows insertion and removal of female terminal fittings and a final locked position which retains the female terminal fittings in the housing. A front stop plate with insertion openings is provided on the retainer, and the insertion openings are offset from housing chambers containing female terminal fittings when the retainer is in the temporary locked position. A continuity test is carried out by inserting a test probe through the insertion openings when the retainer is in the temporary locked position. Since only a portion of the front rim of the female terminal fitting is accessible through the insertion opening, the test probe contacts the portion of the front rim and does not enter deeply into the female terminal fitting. Therefore, elastic connecting pieces of the female terminal fittings are not excessively bent, and the female terminal fittings are not damaged, during the continuity test.
摘要:
A fixing member (30) is formed by coupling a plurality of mounting portions (31A, 31B) spaced apart along the longitudinal direction of a protector main body (10) by a coupling portion (32). Thus, one fixing member (30) is sufficient for one protector main body (10), thereby reducing the number of parts. The protector main body (10) and the fixing member (30) are so locked as to have their relative displacements prevented only at one position along the longitudinal direction of the protector main body (10) and are permitted to make relative displacements along the longitudinal direction of the protector main body (10) in other areas. Thus, areas of the protector main body (10) excluding the one locked position with the fixing member (30) can independently undergo a deformation caused by heat shrinkage without being influenced by the corresponding deformation of the fixing member (30) as temperature changes.
摘要:
A terminal (10) has opposite front and rear ends and a receiving plate with lateral edges. Front and rear connecting pieces (17A, 17B) project up from the lateral edges and then curve inwardly. The front connecting piece (17A) is shorter in a front-to-rear direction than the rear connecting piece (17B). The connecting pieces (17A, 17B) extend beyond the widthwise center of the receiving plate (15). Thus, the curved connecting pieces (17A, 17B) overlap when viewed in forward and backward directions. The connecting pieces (17A, 17B) have window holes (19A, 19B) for weakening. The provision of front and rear connecting pieces (17A, 17B) causes inserting force peaks at the front and rear when a mating tab-shaped terminal is inserted. As a result, a peak value is lowered to reduce the inserting force.

The invention provides a connector with improved operability during the joining operation of electric wires and terminal fittings, and during the attachment of ferrite cores. A connector is provided with conducting members 20 capable of making contact with corresponding terminal fittings, a ferrite core 25 which is attached from the exterior to the conductive members 20, electric wire terminal fittings 27 capable of making contact with electric wires 36 and the conducting members 20, and a housing 10 which houses all of the above. The conducting members 20, to which the ferrite core 25 is attached, are formed separate from the members (the electric wire terminal fittings 27) that connect with the electric wires 36. Consequently, an automated device is able to connect the electric wire terminal fittings 27 and the electric wires 36.

摘要:
A connector has a terminal accommodating space (12) and a wire accommodating space (22). A terminal fitting (35) is accommodated in the terminal accommodating space (12) and a wire (30) is connected with the terminal fitting (35). The wire (35) is bent into the wire accommodating space (22) to form an L-shape. A bite-in portion (24) is formed on the inner surface of the wire accommodating space (22) for engaging the wire (30) on an inner side of the bend to plastically deform the wire (30). The engagement of the wire (30) by the bite-in portion (24) reduces the resilient restoring force of the wire (30). As a result, the resilient restoring force of the wire (30) is less likely to incline the terminal fitting (35) in the terminal accommodating space (12).
