  • JOINT CONNECTOR WITH CONTACT RETAINER
    Publication number: 20170310037
    Abstract: A joint connector is provided. The joint connector includes a housing, receptacle terminals configured to be inserted into the housing and a retainer configured to be slidably inserted into the housing and displace the receptacle terminals in an insertion direction to fix the position of the receptacle terminals. Accordingly, defects that include an insertion of the terminals during fastening of the retainer to the housing are detected and the receptacle terminals are compressed by the retainer. The shapes of a top surface and a bottom surface of the retainer are formed in an asymmetrical structure to prevent an inverse insertion of the retainer. Simultaneously, a quality problem due to delamination of the retainer is prevented.
