Abstract: A wire cover member disclosed by this specification is a wire cover member (10) to be mounted on a connector (50) from which wires (W) are pulled out rearwardly, and includes a pair of half covers (20) having a wire inserting portion (22) through which the wires (W) pulled out rearwardly from the connector (50) are inserted, a fixing portion (40) made of synthetic resin and to be accommodated into the wire inserting portion (22) with a tiny clearance defined between the fixing portion and the wire inserting portion while being fixed to the wires (W), and a corrugated tube (30) formed to be resiliently contractible in a front-rear direction and held in the wire inserting portion (22) in a state where the fixing portion (40) can come into contact with the corrugated tube (30) from front.

Abstract: A connector (10) includes a housing (30) with a terminal accommodating portion (31) into which a plurality of differently dimensioned terminals (20) are to be accommodated, and a retainer (60) retains the terminals (20) by being inserted through a side surface of the housing (30). The retainer (60) is moved laterally by operating an operating portion (63) and is held at a partial locking position and a full locking position by locking pieces (65) of the retainer (60) that engage locked portions (44) of the housing (30). The terminals (20) include medium terminals (20M) locked by medium locking lances (56) fit into an escaping portion (68) between the operating portion (63) and the locking pieces (65) in the retainer (60). The escaping portion (68) includes a reinforcement (69) for preventing deformation of the escaping portion (68).

Abstract: A connector (10) has a terminal accommodating portion (31) with a plurality of cavities (34) into which terminals (20) are accommodated from behind and a front holder (50) is mounted into the terminal accommodating portion (31). The front holder (50) includes locks (53) that move onto locked portions (49) on the upper surface of a narrow portion (45) of the terminal accommodating portion (31) when the front holder (50) is mounted into the terminal accommodating portion (31). The narrow portion (45) includes deformation preventing recesses (47) that fit to deformation preventing ribs (57) on the front holder (50) in a convexo-concave manner. The deformation preventing ribs (57) and the deformation preventing recesses (47) contact each other in a vertical direction when the locks (53) move onto the locked portions (49), thereby suppressing excessive deflection of the front holder (50) or the narrow portion (45).

Abstract: A lever-type connector is configured so that a lock piece (65) of a lock (60) resiliently locks a locked portion (49) to hold a lever (50) at an end position when the lever (50) is rotated to the end position. The locked portion (49) is released from a locked state and the lever (50) is permitted to rotate toward an initial position by pulling up an unlocking portion (70) and forcibly deflecting the lock piece (65). Entrance restricting projections (75) project from facing surfaces of the protection walls (70) on an end position side of the unlocking portion (70) of the lock piece (65) in the lock (60).

Abstract: A connector assembly has first and second housings (10, 300). Ribs (305, 306) project from an inner surface of a receptacle (301) of the second housing (300). The first housing (10) has a main body (11) that can fit into the receptacle (301), a seal ring (50) is mounted externally on the housing main body (11) and a retaining member is mounted into the main body (11). The retaining member includes a pressing surface (67, 90) for preventing detachment of the seal ring (50) and grooves (68, 86) that receive the ribs (305, 306) when the housings are connected. Reverse tapered surfaces (74, 91) are formed on the back surfaces of the grooves (68, 86) at a side facing and opposite to the pressing surface (67, 90) of the retaining member and incline toward the housing main body (11) to approach the pressing surface (67, 90).

Abstract: Entrance restricting portions (30, 31, 32) project in a receptacle (100) and are arranged in a width direction at each of opposite sides of a plurality of tabs (20, 21) in a height direction. Drop-in spaces (3A-3E) are formed at an inner side of the entrance restricting portions (30, 31) and (32) adjacently arranged at the substantially opposite sides of the tabs (20, 21). When a spherical surface of a spherical body (201) inserted into the receptacle (10) contacts the front ends of a plurality of entrance restricting portions (30, 31, 32), a top (202) on a central axis of the spherical body (201) is offset from the tabs (20, 21).

Abstract: A female terminal has left and right stabilizers (30) extending from one surface of a rectangular tubular main portion (21). The stabilizers (30) are formed at predetermined distances in from opposite left and right lateral edges of the surface of the main portion (21) toward a widthwise center and assume oblique postures so that both extending ends gradually come closer to each other. The extending ends of the both stabilizers (30) are located within a circumscribed circle (X) of the main portion (21), C-surfaces (35A) are formed on corner portions of the outer lateral edges of extending end surfaces (31) of the both stabilizers (30) and R-surfaces (37A) are formed on lateral edges (36) of the C-surfaces (35A) on base end sides of the stabilizers (30).

Abstract: A connector has a female terminal (20) with stabilizers (30) that contact restricting surfaces (64) of an edge of a terminal accommodating hole (51) at a side opposite to a side where insertion paths (60) are provided, thereby preventing any further insertion of the female terminal (20) when a female terminal (20) is inserted in a posture vertically inverted from a proper posture. Posture displacing portions (65) are provided on the restricting surfaces (64) of the terminal accommodating hole (51) and engage the stabilizers (30) of the female terminal (20) inserted in the inverted posture to displace extending postures of the stabilizers (30) to increase engaging margins with the restricting surfaces (64).
