  • Arc-resistant structure of connector
    Patent number: 6746258
    Abstract: One of male and female connectors, which are to be fitted together, is provided with a high-speed connector-disengaging unit for increasing the connector-disengaging speed, utilizing a resilient force produced by a resilient deformation. More specifically, one of the male and female connectors, which are to be fitted together, includes a connector housing, a slider for sliding relative to the connector housing 6 in a connector disengaging direction during a connector disengaging operation, and a coil spring (resilient member) which is interposed between the connector housing and the slider, and is resiliently deformed to produce the resilient force when the slider is slid.

  • Arc-resistant structure of connector
    Publication number: 20030049957
    Abstract: One of male and female connectors (2, 3), which are to be fitted together, is provided with a high-speed connector-disengaging unit (4) for increasing the connector-disengaging speed, utilizing a resilient force produced by a resilient deformation. More specifically, one of the male and female connectors, which are to be fitted together, includes a connector housing (6), a slider (13) for sliding relative to the connector housing 6 in a connector disengaging direction during a connector disengaging operation, and a coil spring (resilient member) (14) which is interposed between the connector housing and the slider, and is resiliently deformed to produce the resilient force when the slider is slid.
