  • Patent number: 10230194
    Abstract: A protective cap is used when a male inner housing to which male terminals and electric wires are attached is passed through a bellows-shaped tubular portion of a grommet. A male outer housing mounted on an annular seal portion of the grommet and the male inner housing accommodated in the male outer housing in a state where the male inner housing accommodates and holds the male terminals connected to the electric wires constitutes the connector. The protective cap includes a circular cap main body having an accommodating recess that accommodates tab portions of the male terminals protruding more than a front face of the male inner housing, at least a front side of the male inner housing being fitted into the accommodating recess. An outer diameter of the cap main body is smaller than an inner diameter of the bellows-shaped tubular portion.

  • Patent number: 8882530
    Abstract: Provided is a lever fitting-type connector wherein the time for connecting a second connector comprised of a plurality of connector segments to a first connector can be reduced; and a compact connector portion of a wire harness can be obtained. A second connector (14) fitted and connected to a first connector (13) by an operation for rotating a fitting operation lever (15) attached to the first connector (13), is configured by combining a main connector segment (31) with a subsidiary connector segment (32). The main connector segment (31) has a lever engagement portion (34) to be engaged with the fitting operation lever (15) when the main connector segment is fitted to an initial fitting position. The main connector segment (31) is shifted from the initial fitting position to a complete fitting position by an operation for rotating the fitting operation lever (15).
