  • Patent number: 6386917
    Abstract: In a wire module (1), a terminal (4, 5) is pressed to be clamped to each of opposite end portions of a wire (6) to thereby provide a terminal-assembled wire member (2), and molded connector members (10, 11) and a wire circuit member (12) are formed in such a manner that a plurality of terminal-assembled wire members are arranged in an insulative covering layer (3). In the case where the terminals (4) are of the female type, the molded connector member comprises a connector housing, in which the terminal-assembled wire members (2) are inserted, and a terminal holder attached to a terminal-inserting side of the connector housing. The connector housing is of the waterproof type, and includes a waterproof wall which is formed in a bulged manner on an outer peripheral surface of a housing body, receiving the terminals therein, and extends in a direction away from the terminal-inserting side.

  • Patent number: 5015199
    Abstract: An electric connector which can prevent soiling to terminals thereof without the necessity of provision of an additional part such as a cap. The electric connector comprises a pair of female and male housings formed for fitting engagement with each other in one direction, a locking arm extending from the male housing in parallel to and resiliently displaceable in a direction perpendicular to the fitting direction, and a first engaging projection formed on the locking arm for fitting in an opening formed in the female housing. A first arresting element is provided on the female housing for engaging with the first engaging projection in a fully fitted position of the female and male housings to lock the housings in the position.
