Abstract: An operating member (11) includes a plate-like arm (37) configured to cover an outer surface of a housing (10) and is displaceable to an initial position and a connection position. A resilient piece (48) is provided on an outer edge of the arm (37) and projects along a plate surface of the arm (37). The resilient piece (48) restricts a displacement of the operating member (11) from the initial position to the connection position by resiliently locking a lock receiving portion (32) while being unlocked from the lock receiving portion (32) by being pressed by an unlocking portion (15) of a mating housing (12) and allowing displacement of the operating member (11) to the connection position. The resilient piece (48) is shaped to be delectable and deformable in a direction along the plate surface of the arm portion (37) when being pressed by the unlocking portion (15).

Abstract: A connector is miniaturized and while still preventing damage to locking lances. Deflectable first and second locking lances (19, 79) configured to lock first and second terminal fittings (11, 61) are arranged to be exposed on first and second facing surfaces (15, 75) of first and second housings (10, 60). When the first and second housings 10, 60 are assembled, the first and second locking lances (19, 79) are arranged back-to-back with each other. Surfaces of the first and second locking lances (19, 79) facing the first and second cavities (17, 77) on tip parts in a projecting direction are continuous without any step and include locking surfaces (23, 83) configured to lock the first and second terminal fittings (11, 61) on tips in the projecting direction.

Abstract: A connector includes a pressure receiving surface (16) on a front of a locking lance (12) and a lock (36) on a terminal (30) is configured to lock the pressure receiving surface (16). An inclined surface (15) on a facing surface (13) of the locking lance (12) faces the terminal (30) and is inclined to be more separated from the terminal fitting (30) toward the back. A guiding surface (18) on the pressure receiving surface (16) is configured to deflect the locking lance (12) toward the terminal (30) when the lock (36) presses the pressure receiving surface (16). A contact surface (21) behind the pressure receiving surface (16) on the locking lance (12) faces the terminal (30). A deflection regulating portion (38) behind the lock (36) on the terminal (30) faces the contact surface (21) while being spaced apart parallel to a resilient deflecting direction of the locking lance (12).

Abstract: A connector includes two receiving ribs (16) in a housing (10) at opposite sides of a locking lance (12) in a width direction. Two first restrictions (17) are formed on opposite left and right outer side surfaces of the locking lance (12) in the width direction and at a side of the receiving ribs (16) opposite to a terminal accommodating chamber (11) in the resilient deforming direction of the locking lance (12) and held out of contact with the receiving portions (16) when the locking lance (12) is not deformed. Two second restrictions (18) are formed on the opposite left and right outer side surfaces of the locking lance (12), opposed to a bottom surface (32) of a terminal fitting (30) formed with a locking hole (35) and held out of contact with the bottom surface (32) when the locking lance (12) is not deformed.

Abstract: A connector includes a housing (10) made of synthetic resin and formed with a terminal accommodating chamber (11). A resiliently deformable locking lance (12) is cantilevered forward along an inner wall surface of the terminal accommodating chamber (11) and a locking projection (15) is formed on the locking lance (12). A terminal fitting (30) is inserted into the terminal accommodating chamber (11) from behind and has a locking hole (33) configured to engage the locking projection (15) when the terminal fitting (30) is inserted in the terminal accommodating chamber (11). Reinforcing ribs (20) are formed integrally on the locking lance (12) and project in a direction opposite to the terminal accommodating chamber (11) in a resilient deforming direction of the locking lance (12).

Abstract: A terminal fitting (10) includes a terminal main body (11) and a shell (12), which is a component separate from the terminal main body (11). The terminal main body (11) has a fitting portion (18) and resilient contact pieces (14). The shell (12) is a rectangular tube engaged with the fitting portion (18) of the terminal main body (11) and surrounding the resilient contact pieces (14). Even though being relatively expensive, an electrically conductive material such as copper alloy needs to be used as the material of the terminal main body (11) formed with the resilient contact pieces (14). However, an inexpensive material can be used for the shell (12) since electrical conductivity is not required. Therefore, cost can be reduced as compared with the case where a terminal fitting is made entirely of an expensive electrically conductive material.

Abstract: A terminal fitting (T) includes a terminal main body (10) with a tab (11) at a front end part and a wire connecting portion (13) at a rear end part, and a shell (30) provided on the terminal main body (10) to be relatively displaceable between a protecting position for surrounding the tab (11) and an exposing position located behind the protecting position for exposing the tab (11). If the shell (30) is displaced to the protecting position, the tab (11) is protected from the interference of an external matter and the like, wherefore deformation, breakage and the like of the tab (11) can be prevented. Further, if the shell (30) is displaced to the exposing position to expose the tab (11), a mating terminal and the tab (11) can be connected.

Abstract: A connector includes two receiving ribs (16) in a housing (10) at opposite sides of a locking lance (12) in a width direction. Two first restrictions (17) are formed on opposite left and right outer side surfaces of the locking lance (12) in the width direction and at a side of the receiving ribs (16) opposite to a terminal accommodating chamber (11) in the resilient deforming direction of the locking lance (12) and held out of contact with the receiving portions (16) when the locking lance (12) is not deformed. Two second restrictions (18) are formed on the opposite left and right outer side surfaces of the locking lance (12), opposed to a bottom surface (32) of a terminal fitting (30) formed with a locking hole (35) and held out of contact with the bottom surface (32) when the locking lance (12) is not deformed.
