摘要:
A connector including a housing which includes terminal receiving grooves in which metal terminals are inserted and received, respectively, from one insertion opening, an upper wall closing upper sides of the terminal receiving grooves, and retaining holes formed in the upper wall in such a manner that the inside and outside of each terminal receiving groove communicate with each other through the associated retaining hole, and a flexible retaining arm, formed on and projecting from the metal terminal, is retainingly engaged in the retaining hole. In the connector, outer grooves are formed in an outer surface of the upper wall, and extend from a fitting face of the housing (for fitting in a mating connector) toward the insertion opening, and inner grooves are formed in an inner surface of the upper wall, and extend from the insertion opening toward the fitting face, and that end of each of the inner grooves close to the fitting face communicates with that end of the associated outer groove close to the insertion opening in a direction of a thickness of the upper wall, thereby forming the retaining hole.

A combined connector including a base housing for receiving metal terminals, and a sub-housing which is inserted in the base housing to be combined therewith, the sub-housing including a cover for closing an open portion of terminal receiving grooves for receiving metal terminals. There is provided a combination-confirming mechanism by which it can be confirmed by the closing of the terminal receiving grooves by the cover of the sub-housing, combined with the base housing, that the sub-housing is properly inserted in and combined with the base housing. Therefore, an incompletely-combined condition can be positively prevented.

Each of a plurality of LED lamp modules includes a base, an LED drive circuitry mounted on the base, and a cover coupled with the base to cover the LED drive circuitry. The LED lamp modules are stacked one on another. A single flat cable is extending through the LED lamp modules so as to have at least one first portion disposed outside the LED lamp modules and a plurality of second portions disposed inside the LED lamp modules to be electrically connected to the LED drive circuitry in each of the LED lamp modules. The first portion of the flat cable is sandwiched between the base of an upper one of the LED lamp modules and the cover of a lower one of the LED lamp modules.

A connector support structure including first and second connectors is disclosed. The first connector is supported by a part to be assembled. The second connector is to be fitted with the first connector. The first connector includes a first connector body and a plurality of rotary members. The first connector body has projections. The rotary members include rear engagement projections and cut-out parts for provisionally fastening engagement with the projections of the first connector body. The part to be assembled includes an engagement panel including cut-out parts for receiving the rear engagement projections while the projections of the first connector body are in provisionally fastening engagement with the cut-out parts of the rotary members.
摘要:
A method of press-connecting a coated electric wire with a press-connecting terminal, including the step of pressing an end portion of the coated electric wire into a notched slot provided in a side plate of the press-connecting terminal so as to cut a coating portion of the coated electric wire to thereby make a conductor of the coated electric wire electrically connected to the side plate of the press-connecting terminal. In such a method, before the coated electric wire is press-connected with the press-connecting terminal, the coating portion of the coated electric wire is heated and softened so that the force necessary for pressing the coated electric wire into the notched slot is reduced to be not larger than a predetermined value.

A connector for a flexible printed circuit board includes a male connector 12, having spring terminals 11, and a female connector 15 which is provided with the flexible printed circuit board 13, and has an opening 14 for receiving the terminals 11 of the male connector 12. The flexible printed circuit board 13 is placed on the female connector to cover the opening 14, and then the terminals 11 are pushed into the opening 14 through the flexible printed circuit board 13, and are contacted with the flexible printed circuit board 13. Gaps 20 for allowing the movement of the flexible printed circuit board 13 are provided at the male connector 12.

A substantially parallelepiped engaging protrusion (30) formed on a side wall (24A) of a lever (24) pivoted on a boss (27) of a connector (21) has an upper front edge part tapered to provide a corner part (30B) defined by a pair of neighboring surfaces (30A, 30C) intersecting with an obtuse angle, the corner part (30B) making contact with a lower corner (37B) of an inclined engagement step (37) formed in a front side of an insertion groove (36) in an inner wall of a hood (34) of a mating connector (22), the inclined engagement step (37) having an inclined surface (37A) at an angle of inclination of at least 45 degrees with respect to a mating direction between the connectors (21, 22), and an upper edge (37C) of the inclined surface (37A) and a lower edge (30B) of a tapered surface (30A) of the engaging protrusion (30) are spaced from each other at a distance (D) in the mating direction so that, even with dimensional errors, there is achieved an ensured operative engagement between the engaging protrusion (30) and the engagement step (37).
摘要:
A lever 22 is pivotally supported on a male connector 21 through bosses 27, and an engagement projection 30 is formed on a lower portion of a front end portion of each side wall 28 of the lever 22, and a side projection 31, which is disposed beneath the boss 27 in an initial fitting condition, is formed on each side wall 28. Guide step grooves 37 for respectively guiding the side projections 31 are formed in an inner face 32A of a hood portion 32 of the female connector 23. A first step portion 37A and a second step portion 37B are formed intermediate opposite ends of the guide step groove 37. When the side projection 31 abut respectively against the side projections 31, the engagement projections can be engaged respectively in engagement grooves 35. Therefore, the lever 22 is provisionally retained by the second step portions 37B, and in this condition the lever 22 is pivotally moved so as to positively engage the engagement projections 30 respectively in the engagement grooves 35. Therefore, the lever 22 will not idle, and the male connector 21 can be positively fitted into the hood portion 32.
