  • Patent number: 7476123
    Abstract: A connector is provided with a housing (10) to be connected with a mating connector housing (70) upon receiving a pushing force from behind, and a slider (40) (connection detecting member) to be mounted into the housing (10) relatively movably between a standby position and a connection position. The slider (40) includes such an operating plate (41) as to entirely cover the rear end surface of the housing (10) at a position behind the rear end surface of the connector housing (10). If the operating plate (41) is pushed forward, a connecting operation of two housings (10, 70) proceeds and the slider (40) is moved from the standby position to the connection position.

  • Patent number: 7458835
    Abstract: A movable member (36) is located at a malfunction preventing position and a pair of functional terminals (25) are shorted by a shorting terminal (50) unless two housings (10, 20) are properly connected, whereas the movable member (36) is moved to a connection detecting position and the shorting terminal (50) shorts a pair of detection terminals (14) at the same time as being disengaged from the pair of functional terminals (25) when the two housings (10, 20) are properly connected. Since the shorting terminal (50) is commonly used to short the pair of functional terminals (25) for the malfunction prevention and the like and to short the pair of detection terminals (14) for the detection of a connected state of the two housings (10, 20), the number of parts can be reduced.

  • Patent number: 7404730
    Abstract: A housing (10) has a lock arm (20) that pivots about a fulcrum (23) that is rearward of a pivoting portion (24) of the lock arm (20). A detection terminal (50) has a rear support (52) supported on the housing (10) rearward of the pivoting portion (24). An action portion (54) of the detection terminal (50) is engaged with the pivoting portion (24) and displaces with the pivoting portion (24). The lock arm (20) deforms during connection of the housing (10) and a mating housing (90) so that contacts (53) of the detection terminal (50) are not in contact with mating detection terminals (97). However, the lock arm (20) returns resiliently when the housings (10, 90) are connected properly so that the contacts (53) contact the mating detection terminals (97).

  • Patent number: 7329133
    Abstract: A connector has a male housing (10) with a receptacle (11) and a moving plate (14) is disposed in the receptacle (11). A female housing (20) can fit in the receptacle (11) and in the moving plate (14). First cam followers (13F, 13R) project in from the inner peripheral surface of the receptacle (11). Second cam followers 17F, 17R project out from the outer peripheral surface of the moving plate (14) towards the inner peripheral surface of the receptacle (11). A lever (30) is mounted rotatably on the female housing (20). Outer surfaces of the lever (30) have first cam grooves (34F, 34R) for engaging the cam followers (13F, 13R) of the receptacle (11) and inner surfaces of the lever (30) have second cam grooves (35F, 35R) for engaging the cam followers (17F, 17R) of the moving plate (14).

  • Patent number: 7249958
    Abstract: A male housing (30) has a hood (32) and a rib (45) that projects forward in the hood (32). A moving plate (50) is disposed movably in the hood (32) and an insertion hole (62) is formed on a body (51) of the moving plate (50) for receiving the rib (45). Guide walls (64, 65) are formed on the periphery of the insertion hole (62). The moving plate (50) is pressed into the hood (32) from an initial position by a female housing (10). Peripheral sides of the moving plate (50) are guided by the hood (32) and peripheral surfaces of the rib (45) slide in contact with the guide walls (64, 65) to prevent the moving plate (50) from shaking.

  • Patent number: 7201609
    Abstract: A connector (10) has a housing (11) with an outer peripheral surface (11S). A rubber boot (15) has a tubular sealing portion (21) with an inner peripheral surface that mounts over and seals to the outer peripheral surface (11S) of the housing (11). Thus, a compressive elasticity amount of the sealing portion (21) is not affected by a posture of the first connector (10) when the first connector (10) is fit in a second connector (40). Therefore, the sealing performance of the sealing portion (21) does not deteriorate in dependence on the posture of the first connector (10) when the first connector (10) is fit in the second connector (40).
