Abstract: A connector is provided with a first housing (10) including a lever 30 rotatably mounted about supporting shaft bearings (34), and a second housing 60 including cam followers (63) engageable with cam grooves 41 of the lever 30 and to be connected with the first housing (10) by a cam action displayed between the cam grooves (41) and the cam followers (63) as the lever (30) is rotated. The second housing (60) includes posture correcting pins (66) at the opposite sides of the cam followers (63). The lever (30) is formed with posture correcting grooves (45) engageable with the posture correcting pins (66) in a rotating process thereof and extending along arcs centered on the supporting shaft bearings (34).

Abstract: First and second connector housings (10, 40) are connected by displacing a force multiplying member (24). The first housing (10) includes a pair of detection terminals (13) and a shorting member (19). The shorting member (19) is displaced between a shorting position where the detection terminals (13) are shorted and a releasing position where the detection terminals (13) are released from a shorted state. The force multiplying member (24) includes a pressing surface (29) that is parallel to a displacing direction of the force multiplying member (24). The pressing surface (29) displaces the shorting member (19) to the shorting position in a partly connected state where the two housings (10, 40) have not reached a completely connected state while displacing the shorting member (19) to the releasing position when the two housings (10, 40) reach the completely connected state.

Abstract: A press-in hole (16) of a housing (10) is formed to be gradually wider from the front end toward the rear end, a large dimensional difference between the width of the press-in hole 16 and that of a press-in portion (21) of a tab-shaped terminal (20) is ensured at a front end portion of the press-in hole 16, so that the tab-shaped terminal (20) can be reliably retained in the housing (10). On the other hand, since the dimensional difference between the width of the press-in hole 16 and that of the press-in portion (21) is small at a rear end portion of the press-in hole (16), press-in resistance at an initial stage of a press-in process is reduced.

Abstract: A first housing (10) and a second housing (30) are connected by leverage brought about by the engagement of pinions (24) of a lever (20) rotatably supported on the first housing (10) and racks 33 of the second housing (30). In the process of rotating the lever (20), cam action brought about by the engagement of cam grooves (25) of the lever (20) and cam followers (37) of the second housing (30) is exhibited. This cam action prevents the first housing (10) from being inclined with respect to the second housing (30) with engaged positions of the pinions (24) and the racks (33) as supports.
