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.

摘要翻译： 一种连接器，包括用于将端子保持在连接器壳体中的单独的端子保持器，其中保持器可以从连接器壳体脱离而不使用外部夹具。 连接器包括具有多个端子容纳室的连接器壳体，并且端子保持器适于以两步方式连接到连接器壳体的后部，即临时接合状态和完全接合状态，并且可移动 相对于连接器壳体。 端子保持架具有柔性保持件和柔性支撑件。 在完全的接合状态下，柔性保持片通过其自身的柔性与相应的金属端子接合，并且柔性支撑件被连接器壳体的驱动表面引导并弹性弯曲以与相应的金属端子接合。 当端子保持架从完全接合状态向后移动超过临时接合状态时，柔性保持件骑在连接器壳体的突起上，以移出除去的金属端子的移动轨迹。 金属端子可以容易地从连接器壳体移除而不使用任何夹具。
