  • Patent number: 11239596
    Abstract: A connector includes: a plurality of terminals; a housing having a tubular outer wall part, a holding part having a plurality of terminal housing chambers, lances positioned radially outside the respective terminal housing chambers, and a locking part; and a detection member having a tubular fitting part to be fit to the holding part and an engaging part. The lances, when the respective terminals are inserted into a regular position in the respective terminal housing chambers, enter the inside of the fitting part when the fitting part is fit to the holding part and, when the respective terminal are not inserted into the regular position, are pressed by the respective terminals to become deformed radially outward and to lock the fitting part at a first position, the first position being short of a position at which the engaging part is engaged with the locking part.

  • Patent number: 11189952
    Abstract: A connector includes: a housing having terminal housing chambers, one passage part, and lances; terminals inserted into the respective terminal housing chambers and locked by the respective lances at a regular position; and a detection member inserted into the passage part to detect whether the terminals are inserted to the regular position. The passage part is adjacent to each of the terminal housing chambers. The lances are provided at a boundary between the respective terminal housing chambers and the passage part. The lances, when the respective terminals are not inserted to the regular position, are pressed by the respective terminals to lock the detection member at a first position. The lances, when the respective terminals are inserted to the regular position, allow the detection member to be inserted into a more inner position than the first position.
