Abstract: A connector assembly comprises a first connector and a second connector matable with the first connector in a mating direction. The first connector includes a housing and a slider held by the housing and slidable with respect to the housing in a direction intersecting the mating direction. The slider has a slider backlash restraining device disposed on an inner wall. The slider slides in a first direction to cause the second connector to move in the mating direction and slides in a second direction opposite to the first direction to cause the second connector to move in a direction opposite to the mating direction. The second connector has a connector backlash restraining device disposed on an outer wall of the second connector. The slider backlash restraining device abuts the connector backlash restraining device when the first connector is mated with the second connector.

Abstract: A waterproof connector is provided for ensuring an appropriate intimate contact state to a sealing member without impairing easy assembly. The connector includes a housing that holds at least one contact for establishing an electrical connection with a mating connector; and a ring-shaped sealing member mounted on the housing, the sealing member having a front face and a rear face; at least a first and a second guide portion provided adjacent to each of both faces of the sealing member, the guide portions guiding the housing when being mounted to a case.

Abstract: A water-proof connector includes a connector body and an outer housing surrounding the connector body and fixed to a case. The connector body has contacts and a main body housing having a main body receiving portion receiving a mating connector and holding the contacts. The outer housing includes an outer receiving portion accommodating the main body receiving portion of the connector body and receiving the mating connector with the main body receiving portion and a guide cylinder corresponding to a projection provided in the case when assembled to the case. The space between the case and the outer housing is sealed by a seal member at an outer side of the outer receiving portion.

Abstract: A waterproof connector is mounted on a circuit board fixed within an enclosure. The waterproof connector is connectable with a mating connector through a connector passageway formed in the enclosure. The waterproof connector includes a contact electrically connectable with the mating connector, an insulating housing holding the contact, a first seal disposed on a circumference of the housing, and a faceplate into which the insulating housing is inserted. The having a cylindrical section and a brim section. The cylindrical section includes a first and second open end with the brim section formed at the first open end and spreading outwards. A second seal is interposed between the first open end and the insulating housing.

Abstract: The invention relates to a contact insertion guide structure having a contact and an insulative housing. The contact having a mating portion for contacting a mating contact at one end, a terminal portion for connecting to a circuit board on an opposite end, and a press-fit section between the mating portion and the terminal portion. The housing having a contact receiving passageway through which the contact is inserted, and a securing section which is formed in an inner wall of the contact receiving passageway and into which the press-fit section is received. The contact further includes a first narrow section formed closer to the terminal portion than the press-fit section and thinner than the press-fit section, and a second narrow section formed closer to the terminal portion than the first narrow section and further thinner than the first narrow section.

The contact has a mating portion for contacting a mating contact at one end, a terminal portion for connecting to a circuit board on an opposite end, and a press-fit section between the mating portion and the terminal portion. The housing has a contact receiving passageway through which the contact is inserted, and a securing section which is formed in an inner wall of the contact receiving passageway and into which the press-fit section is received. The housing further includes a wide section that does not contact the contact and is formed in an inner wall of the contact receiving passageway proximate to the securing section. A contact support section is formed in the inner wall of the contact receiving passageway. The contact support section guides the contact while coming in contact with it at the time of insertion.
