Abstract: In a connection structure, electric wire includes an inclined sheath section between an exposed core wire section and a whole circumferential sheath section. In the inclined sheath section, an end surface of the insulating sheath on one end side in a longitudinal direction inclines in a direction intersecting the longitudinal direction and thereby a portion of the core wire is exposed. Each of crimping pieces of a terminal has a core wire crimping section that crimps the exposed core wire section, a whole circumferential sheath crimping section that crimps the whole circumferential sheath section, and an inclined sheath crimping section that crimps the inclined sheath section. The terminal is crimped to the electric wire so that the end surface of the inclined sheath section faces a base plate section of the terminal.

Abstract: A lever connector includes a first connector, a second connector and a lever. The lever includes a locking portion provided to be bendable inward and outward with respect to a rotation direction of the lever. The first connector is provided with a locked portion to be locked with the locking portion. The rotation of the lever causes the locking portion to be bent outward with respect to the rotation direction of the lever, and then causes the locking portion to be bent inward with respect to the rotation direction of the lever such that the locked portion is locked with the locking portion. The locking portion is provided with an abutment portion that abuts on an edge part of an attachment hole of a panel when the first connector and the second connector are attached to the attachment hole in the middle of the rotation of the lever.

Abstract: A lever-operative connector which can be downsized includes a frame and a lever rotatably coupled to the frame. The frame has a circumferential wall having one opening and the other opening at both ends. The frame has a notch formed in the circumferential wall and communicating with the one opening. When the lever is rotated toward the one opening side, a part of a lever side wall is exposed from an interior of the circumferential wall so as to compensate the notch of the circumferential wall, thereby forming, together with the frame, a hood having the housing-receiving width. When the lever is rotated toward the other opening side, the part of the lever side wall is received inside the circumferential wall so as to open the notch of the circumferential wall, thereby eliminating the housing-receiving width and the hood.

Abstract: A lever-type connector (1) comprises: a first connector (11); a second connector (21); and a lever (31) configured to be turned to fit the connectors (11, 21) each other. The first connector (11) has a lock portion (14) designed to be flexurally deformed toward its inner surface side and inserted into the attachment hole (42) when the connectors are attached to the attachment hole (52). The lever (31) includes an arm portion (32) located on the inner surface side of the first connector (11) while the lever (31) is being turned. The arm portion (32) includes: a deformation blocking part (36) configured to block the flexural deformation when the deformation blocking part (36) is located on the inner surface side of the lock portion (14); and a deformation allowing part (37) configured to allow the flexural deformation.

Abstract: A boss drawing-in groove of a lever includes: a lever inversion groove portion configured to cause the lever drawing-in boss to rotate the lever in an opposite direction opposite to a fitting rotation direction, in response to an insertion of a male connector into a hood with the lever being positioned at an initial rotation position; a drawing-in groove portion configured to guide the lever drawing-in boss by a rotating operation of the lever in the fitting rotation direction and cause the male connector to be fitted into a female connector; and a lever inertial rotation portion configured to rotate in the fitting rotation direction due to an inertial force of the lever after rotation of the lever in the opposite direction and cause the lever drawing-in boss to move to the drawing-in groove portion.

Abstract: A connector device is provided in which a fitting force acts on a female connector and a male connector by operating a lever from a fitting start operation position to a fitting end operation position. The connector device includes a semi-fitting detection portion and a pressing portion. The semi-fitting detection portion is located at a non-projecting position below a peripheral surface of a frame of the female connector and is shifted to a projecting position to project from the peripheral surface of the frame by a pressing force. The pressing portion is provided in the male connector, presses and shifts the semi-fitting detection portion to the projecting position when located at a fitting halfway position before a fitting end position, and stops pressing the semi-fitting detection portion when located at the fitting end position so as to shift the semi-fitting detection portion to the non-projecting position.
