Patent number: 6921293Abstract: In a connector with a cover or door body, it is a purpose of the present invention to provide a connector and a connector main body of the connector of difficulty being broken into parts when the connector is under use for being plugging in or pulling off although it is possible to detach the cover with ease. It is characterized in that a direction of force to widen a second opening (18) from which a cable (20) of the connector (10) is drawn out is different from a direction of detaching the cover (14) from the housing main body (12). The detaching direction may be a sliding direction on the housing main body (12). Moreover, it is characterized in that a direction of force to widen the opening (18) is substantially orthogonal to the detaching direction of the cover (14) from the housing main body (12).Type: GrantFiled: May 2, 2003Date of Patent: July 26, 2005Assignee: J.S.T. Mfg. Co. Ltd.Inventors: Syoichi Takada, Satoru Kihira, Kiyoshi Washino, Tsuyoshi Fukami, Masato Kato
