  • Publication number: 20130267114
    Abstract: A male connector housing has a first projection whose leading end projects backward beyond a rear end of a female connector housing when the male connector housing is placed at a location where the male connector housing starts to fit into the female connector housing, and a first recess that is formed in a leading end of the first projection so that a tip of another rod-shaped member can be inserted; wherein the female connector housing has a second projection that is provided so as to oppose the leading end of the first projection, and a first contact surface that an exterior surface of the middle portion of the rod-shaped member whose tip is inserted into the first recess can contact. The rod-shaped member is utilized as a lever for bringing the male connector housing and the female connector housing into a fit connection.

  • Publication number: 20130045644
    Abstract: The upper surface panel 15 and the lower surface 14 of the electric wire connection portion of the crimping terminal 10 are formed in such a cross-sectional shape that when placed and joined together an internal space is formed therein to house the end portion of an electric wire W and also such that when the interior is compressed and sealed by receiving crimping force from an vertical direction the end portion of the electrical connection is crimped thereby. Further, an electric wire insertion aperture 17 is provided in the junction 16 between the lower surface panel 14 and the upper surface panel 15 to allow the end portion of the electric wire W to be inserted therebetween.
