摘要:
An elastic retaining piece portion (23a) is formed on a terminal retainer (17), and has a completely-retaining portion (23b) at a distal end thereof and an engagement-canceling tapering portion (23c) on a distal end surface thereof. The completely-retaining portion (23a) is engageable with a completely-engaging portion (13c) of a connector housing (13) to retain the terminal retainer (17) in a completely-engaging position relative to the connector housing (13). When the engagement-canceling tapering portion (23c) is pressed by a removal jig (25) which has been inserted in the connector housing through a jig insertion port (13e) so as to be disposed substantially in alignment with the engagement-canceling tapering portion (23c), the elastic retaining piece portion (23a) is retracted while elastically deformed in a direction causing the completely-retaining portion (23b) to be disengaged from the completely-engaging portion (13c).

A connector housing and a manufacturing method thereof are provided, which connector housing includes: an outside wall having an upper and lower walls and sidewalls; horizontal partition and vertical partition which form terminal accommodating chambers 9 inside the outside wall; and a thin sidewall portion 6 formed on each of the sidewalls and being thinner than a remaining portion of the corresponding sidewall, wherein a short shot preventing rib 8 is longitudinally formed on the thin sidewall portion integrally therewith in a generally vertical center thereof. The short shot preventing rib 8 projects outside over the remaining portion 7 continuing from the thin sidewall portion 6. The short shot preventing rib 8 is arranged in a line with the horizontal partition 15. The short shot preventing rib 8 is formed thicker than the horizontal partition 15. And, the manufacturing method includes the steps of: setting a mold for molding a connector housing 1 which has a short shot preventing rib 8 on each of thin sidewall portions 6 formed on both side walls 5; arranging a gate of a runner 3 at a position corresponding to an outside wall of the connector housing; and injecting a melted resin material into the mold through the gate for forming the connector housing 1.

A connector (1) includes terminals (3), and a connector housing (2) having terminal receiving chambers (4). The terminal (3) has resilient curl portions (32, 32) of a generally mountain-like cross-sectional shape which are integrally formed respectively on opposite side edges of a base plate portion (31). A lance (5) is formed within the terminal receiving chamber (4), and two projections (23, 23) are formed integrally on the lance (5), and project in a direction of a width of the terminal receiving chamber (4) which direction is perpendicular to a direction (see P, in FIG. 7) of insertion of the terminal (3), and the two projections can be brought into sliding contact with apexes (41, 41) of the resilient curl portions (32, 32), respectively.

A connector (21) includes at least one terminal (23) and a connector housing (22) having a terminal receiving chamber into which the at least one terminal (23) is insertable. The connector housing (22) has at least one connection port (33) through which a mating terminal is insertable, a detection-pin inserting port (34) through which a lance-displacement detecting pin of a connector conduction-test tool is insertable, and a contact-pin inserting port (35) through which a conduction contact pin (24) of the connector conduction-test tool is insertable. The contact-pin inserting port 35 is formed in such a manner as to cut away an edge portion of the connection port (33).

A connector housing has a lock arm for locking a terminal therein. The lock arm deflects in an complete insertion state of the terminal so that a spacer abuts against a side surface of the lock arm. The lock arm is formed with a projection which abuts the incompletely inserted terminal in the spacer advancing direction. The projection may be a plate piece elongated in the longitudinal direction of the lock to be pinched by a pair of a resilient contact plates of the terminal. Alternatively, the lock arm may have a protrusion engaging with an engagement hole formed in the connector housing. The protrusion is a rectangular plate extending from the fore end of the lock arm. An inclined guide surface continuous with the engagement hole may be provided in the connector housing. Alternatively, the connector housing may have an inner embossed wall positioned closely to the deflected lock arm to oppose to the spacer. A clearance between the embossed wall and the lock arm is determined within the elastic deflection limit of the lock arm.

A method of manufacturing a waterproof connector housing, that enables the formation of a uniform packing ring which is an integral part of the housing by engaging a hollow body of a housing with a trapezoidal engaging portion provided on a male mold, holding the housing by contacting tightly an inner wall of the hollow body with the trapezoidal engaging portion to align the center of the male mold with that of the housing, and injecting a rubber material into a packing ring forming space uniformly defined by one of both of the male and female mold through a rubber supply paths of the housing. The housing having the hollow body with tapered shoulder, a male mold having the trapezoidal engaging portion and a female mold beveled or thinned at the open edge are employed for implementing the method.

The present invention relates to a connector for use in a wiring harness for motor vehicles, and more particularly to a method for shifting a terminal, which is in an incompletely inserted state in a terminal accommodating chamber of a connector housing, to a completely inserted position thereof by use of an inserted position correcting jig.As a general procedure of the above method, a front end portion of the inserted terminal position correcting jig is inserted into an opening formed in a peripheral wall provided extendedly from the rear portion of a connector housing, which opening functioning as its pivot center and having a correcting operation checking member therein, thereby to shift the jig toward the housing pivoting on the opening, and by this operation the jig is fitted with the rear end portion of the terminal which is still in an incompletely inserted state so as to shift the terminal to a completely inserted position and securely locked, wherein since the correcting operation checking member formed in the opening is removed when the front end portion of the jig is inserted, whether or not the correcting operation is perfectly done can be checked from outside by a removal or deformation of the correcting operation checking member.

A slide member is slidable on a wall of one of female and male connector housings for an advancing travel and for a retreating travel and formed with an oblique cam element engageable with a cam follower on the other of the female and male connector housings, and drives in the advancing travel the other connector housing to be attracted for insertion to the one connector housing to couple the female and male connector housings with each other and in the retreating travel the female and male connector housings to be de-coupled from each other, and a sliding surface of the slide member with respect to the one connector housing has a raised part formed thereon, in a longitudinal direction thereof, to be brought into line contact with the one connector housing in the advancing travel of the slide member and in the retreating travel thereof.
摘要:
A slider is mounted on a housing of one of male and female connectors to be fitted together, and is urged in one direction by a spring, and flexible arms and a lock arm are formed integrally with this slider. Second engagement projections, formed on a housing of the female connector, push the flexible arms, respectively, and are engaged respectively with the flexible arms when the two connectors are fitted together. A retaining projection for retaining the lock arm is formed on that housing. In a half-fitted condition, the second engagement projections are not engaged respectively with the flexible arms, and the female connector is pushed back by the spring, so that the half-fitted condition can be detected. The lock arm is engaged with the retaining projection, and also the flexible arms are engaged respectively with the second engagement projections, thereby preventing the two connectors from being accidentally disengaged from each other.
