Abstract: The electrical connector has a main housing and a turnable member turnably supported on the main housing. The turnable member is turned to move a second connector toward the main housing from an initial mating state of the main housing with the second connector so as to completely couple the main housing with the second connector. The connector has a resilient engagement arm extended from the turnable member, a stopper projection formed in the resilient engagement arm, a guide portion formed in the main housing, and an engagement recess formed in the main housing. The stopper projection abuts against the guide portion so that the resilient engagement arm is in a yielded condition at a half-way mating state of the main housing with the second connector, while the stopper projection locks with the engagement recess by resiliency of the engagement arm when the main housing has completely coupled with the second connector.

Abstract: A temporary locking projection for mounting the engaging ring at a reference position for assembly, and a detecting locking projection positioned forward of the temporary locking projection in a rotating direction of the engaging ring are provided on an outer periphery of the male connector housing and projected outward in a radial direction thereof. A temporary locking wall extending in an axial direction of the engaging ring for engaging with the temporary locking projection, and a resilient locking arm having a locking hook at an inner distal end surface are provided on an outer surface of the engaging ring. The locking hook is engaged with the detecting locking projection. A contact surface for contacting the resilient locking arm is provided at a projecting end of the detecting locking projection. A step having a contact surface for contacting the contact surface of the detecting locking projection is provided on the resilient locking arm.

Abstract: A rear combination lamp 1 is arranged in a manner that a wiring portion 6 is formed and divided into plural pieces along the periphery of the socket inlet 5 of a lamp body 2, a conductor 7 is divided into plural pieces and the plural pieces of the conductors are wired at the plural pieces of the wiring portion 6, respectively, and stop ribs 10 for restricting the insertion amount of a socket 20 are provided at the vicinity of guide grooves 9 which guide bayonets 25 when the bayonets 25 provided at the socket 20 is fitted to the wiring portion thereby to attach the socket to the lamp body. At the time of attaching the socket 20 to the lamp body 2, when a socket body 21 is inserted into the socket inlet 5, terminal contacts are brought into contact with the conductors 7, whereby the one end of the socket 20 abuts against a top face of the stop ribs 10. Thus, since the insertion amount of the socket 20 is restricted, the excessive deformation of the terminal contacts can be surely prevented.

Abstract: In a liquid-tight connector 20 of the present invention, a fitting recess portion 25b for fitting on a mating male connector portion 13 is formed in a female connector portion 25 of a housing 23, and a filling material 15 is filled in a filling material-pouring recess 25d which is formed in an inner bottom wall 25a of the fitting recess portion 25b to receive proximal portions of metal terminals 9 projecting from the inner bottom wall 25a. Three steps 31, 32 and 33 are formed on a peripheral surface of the filling material-pouring recess 25d over the entire periphery thereof to form a stair-like portion spreading outwardly toward an open end of the pouring recess 25d.
