  • Patent number: 10797439
    Abstract: A through hole is formed in an end wall part of a first housing, and a slider is arranged in this through hole. The slider can be slid in the left-right direction between a locked position at which the slider is engaged with the second connector and an unlocked position at which the slider is separated from the second connector. The slider is a plate-like member arranged such that the thickness direction thereof is oriented in the height direction of the first housing.

  • Patent number: 10355407
    Abstract: A first connector has the rockable lever for engaging with a second connector. The lever has a working part, the operating part, and the regulating part. When a second connector is pressed downward toward the first connector, the working part is pressed by the second connector. As a result, the lever rocks and the regulating part regulates the upward movement of the second connector. At this time, the operating part moves upward. When an operator subsequently presses the operating part downward, the lever rocks in the opposite direction, and the regulating part allows the second connector to move upward. At this time, the first working part moves upward thus pressing the second connector upward.

  • Patent number: 9876305
    Abstract: A connector composing one of two wire-to-wire connectors is provided. The connector includes a cylindrical outer housing having an insertion opening on one end for inserting the other connector of the two wire-to-wire connectors. The connector further includes an inner housing inserted into the outer housing via an assembly opening on the other end of the outer housing. The connector further includes a retainer inserted into the inner housing via a window hole provided in the cylindrical wall portion of the outer housing for locking a terminal in a detachment-preventing manner on the basis of a push-in operation after a wire with the terminal has been inserted into the terminal holding hole in the inner housing. The retainer enters first and second temporary locking states.

  • Patent number: 8454397
    Abstract: An electrically conductive terminal includes a solder tail configured to be soldered to a contact pad of a circuit member and at least one deflectable contact arm. Each deflectable arm is configured to engage a counterpart terminal of a mating electrical component. A body having a pair of side edges and oppositely facing side surfaces is provided between and connects the solder tail and the contact arm. Each side surface has a pair of non-parallel channels therein with at least one of the channels extending between the pair of side edges.
