Abstract: A female connector includes an upper retainer and a lower retainer to be mounted into a connector housing and movable along a retainer moving direction intersecting a terminal inserting direction between a partial locking position for allowing insertion of terminals into cavities and a full locking position for locking and retaining the terminals. The upper and lower retainers include upper cam pins and lower cam pins projecting in a pin projecting direction intersecting the retainer moving direction and different from the terminal inserting direction. The upper and lower cam pins are fit into upper cam grooves and lower cam grooves provided in a jig and move in the upper and lower cam grooves, whereby the upper and lower retainers move between the full locking position and the partial locking position.

Abstract: A connector terminal that is to be attached to a connector housing includes: a terminal main body unit including a wire connection section that is to be electrically connected to a core wire of a wire; and a cover unit configured to be attached to the wire connection section, and to cover the wire connection section. The wire connection section includes a locking portion configured to lock the cover unit. The cover unit includes an engagement portion configured to be engaged with the locking portion so as to lock the cover unit to the wire connection section, and a pressing portion configured to, in a state in which the engagement portion is engaged with the locking portion, sandwich and press the core wire of the wire between the pressing portion and the wire connection section.

Abstract: An electric wire with terminal includes an electric wire covering an outer periphery of a core wire with an insulating coating and a female terminal. The female terminal includes: a wire barrel having a bottom plate on which the core wire is placed and crimped onto the core wire; a groove portion extending from the bottom plate in a direction in which the core wire extends and whose surface on the side where the core wire is placed is bent into a concave shape. The groove portion has a water blocking wall molded by synthetic resin. The water blocking wall is provided to fill the inside of the groove portion. A region extending from the water blocking wall to the end of the insulating coating is covered with a water blocking coating, and the inner surface of the water blocking coating is in close contact with the water blocking wall.

Abstract: A male terminal fitting (1) is formed by bending a flat metal plate worked into a specified shape and includes a contact (2), a rectangular tube (4) formed to be wider than the contact (2), and a link (3) between the contact (2) and the rectangular tube (4). The link (3) is not connected with the front edge of the upper surface of the rectangular tube (4) over the entire width. Thus, bending resistance against an external force can be improved by increasing deflectability while holding down bending rigidity.

Abstract: A female connector (F) has a housing (10) with a front end and cavities (11) extend to the front end. Terminal fittings (40) are mounted in the cavities (11). A front wall (50) is mounted on the front end of the housing (10) and is formed with tab insertion holes (51) that can communicate with cavities (11). An operable surface (59A) is exposed at an end surface of the front wall (50). The front wall (50) can be moved from a full locking position to a partial locking position along the front end of the housing (10) by pushing this operable surface (59A). Portions of the end surface of the front wall (50) other than the operable surface (59A) are covered at least partly by an wall (26) of the housing (10) to limit movement of the front wall (50).

Abstract: A terminal fitting (T) has a rectangular tube (10) with a side plate (13R) and a receiving plate (35) that extends inwardly in a width direction from the front edge of the side plate (13R). A probe (P) can be brought into contact with this receiving plate (35). Thus, a contact area of the probe (P) along the width direction is wider than the thickness of the right side plate (13R). Thus, the probe (P) can be brought securely into contact with the rectangular tube (10) even if displaced along the width direction.

Abstract: A male terminal fitting (1) has a rectangular tube (4). A cut is made in wall of the rectangular tube (4) to form a stabilizer (20) and produces a cut hole (22). An end edge of a closing plate (21) is arranged to face the cut hole (22) and a closing piece (23) is formed at a rear-end opening of the rectangular tube (4). The closing plate (21) and the covering piece (23) substantially prevent external matter or a leading end of another male terminal fitting (1) from intruding into the rectangular tube (4).

Abstract: A male terminal fitting (1) has a rectangular tube (4). A locking edge (15) engageable with a locking portion provided in a cavity is formed over the entire width in an outer surface of a rectangular tube (4). No opening is formed in the outer surface of the rectangular tube portion (4) by forming this locking edge (15). Closing pieces (12) are provided at positions slightly retracted inwardly of the locking edge (15). Thus, problems such as the intrusion of external matter from the outside and the deformation of a leading end portion of another male terminal fitting (1) due to the entrance into the rectangular tube (4) can be avoided.
