Abstract: It is aimed to prevent water intrusion into a housing. A connector is provided with a housing and a sheet-like flexible conductive path formed by fixing a terminal fitting to a front end part of a sheet-like conductive path. The housing is formed with a draw-out portion for causing the sheet-like conductive path to be drawn out downward to outside of the housing with the terminal fitting accommodated in the housing. Since the sheet-like conductive path is drawn out downward from the housing, liquids such as dew condensation water and adhering water do not intrude into the housing even if dew condensation occurs on a surface of the sheet-like conductive path or moisture adheres to the surface of the sheet-like conductive path.

Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to secure a long creepage distance between adjoining male terminal fittings. The connector (A) is provided with a housing (10) having a wall-like terminal holding section (11), multiple press-fit holes (13) formed in the terminal holding section (11), and multiple male terminal fittings (20) individually press-fitted in the multiple press-fit holes (13) and protruding from a rear surface (11R) of the terminal holding section (11) to the outside. Protrusions (16) are formed on the terminal holding section (11) so as to protrude from the rear surface (11R) of the terminal holding section (11) and arranged to separate adjoining press-fit holes (13) from each other.

Abstract: A connector includes a terminal fitting and an upper housing and a lower housing slidable in a direction orthogonal to an overlapping direction while being overlapped to sandwich the terminal fitting. A resilient lock piece cantilevered in the overlapping direction with respect to the lower housing is formed on a side edge part of the upper housing. A lock projection to be locked by the resilient lock piece when the both housings are overlapped is formed on a side surface of the lower housing. A stopper for locking the resilient lock piece when the both housings are slid is formed on the side surface of the lower housing. The stopper is disposed at a position further separated from a base end portion of the resilient lock piece than the lock projection.

The releasing member (63) can displace the lock functioning portion (57) to disengage the lock functioning portion (57) from the male housing (10) while being mounted on the female housing (30).

Abstract: A connector is provided with a plurality of terminal fittings (10), a holding member (20) configured such that the plurality of terminal fittings (10) are arranged in parallel therein, a circuit board (90) to which the plurality of terminal fittings (10) are connected, and a housing (50) for holding the holding member (20). The connector is manufactured by successively performing an arranging step of arranging the plurality of terminal fittings (10) in parallel in the holding member (20), a reflow step of reflow-connecting the plurality of terminal fittings (10) to the circuit board (90) and a holding step of holding the holding member (20) in the housing (50).

Abstract: A terminal to be connected to a front end part of a flexible board including an insulating base film and a conductive path is provided with a terminal body including a sandwiching portion for sandwiching the flexible board and a tubular shell to be disposed outside sandwiching portion. The sandwiching portion includes a conductive contact portion for contacting the conductive path of the flexible board. The shell includes a pressurizing portion for pressing the sandwiching portion toward the flexible board, the pressurizing portion projecting inwardly of the shell. The shell includes a wide portion not formed with the pressurizing portion and a narrow portion narrower inside than the wide portion by being formed with the pressurizing portion. The narrow portion is located outside the sandwiching portion, whereby the conductive contact portion of the sandwiching portion contacts the conductive path.

Abstract: Looseness of two housings are suppressed. A connector includes a lower housing and an upper housing. The lower housing is provided with a locking portion. The upper housing is provided with an elastic locking piece that is hooked on the locking portion. The elastic locking piece has a cantilever shape, and restricts relative movement of the lower housing and the upper housing in a separation direction, which is a direction opposite to a coupling direction. The lower housing is provided with a protruding piece portion that protrude outward in a left-right direction. The upper housing is provided with a protruding piece restriction portion that restricts movement of the protruding piece portion. The protruding piece restriction portion is provided with an inclined surface that is inclined in an assembly direction to reduce a movable range of the protruding piece portion in a separation direction.

Abstract: It is aimed to reduce connection resistance between a female housing and a male housing without causing the settling of a resilient contact piece of a female terminal fitting. A female connector (F) includes a female housing (10) configured to accommodate female terminal fittings (20) and to be connected to a male housing (50), and a movable portion (31) displaceable between a terminal deforming position where resilient contact pieces (25) are resiliently deformed away from male terminal fittings (60) and a releasing position where the movable portion is disengaged from the resilient contact pieces (25). As the connection of the female housing (10) and the male housing (50) proceeds, a retainer-side slide-contact portion (32) slides in contact with male-side slide-contact portions (55) and the movable portion (31) is displaced from the releasing position to the terminal deforming position.
