  • Patent number: 10644429
    Abstract: A connector assembly includes a housing which includes a box portion storing path to store a box portion formed in a vertically or horizontally asymmetric shape and a slot formed perpendicular to an extending direction of a box storing path and a retainer which includes a box portion opening to which the box portion is inserted in a case where the retainer is inserted into the slot and located at a temporary locking position. When a terminal is inserted into the box portion storing path from the box portion opening, the box portion opening is shaped to prevent the insertion when the terminal is rotated about the insertion axis of the terminal from an appropriate position.

  • Patent number: 9985382
    Abstract: Provided is a connector in which first and second connector members are fitted with each other. The first connector member includes a first housing formed with a protrusion. The second connector member includes a second housing; hood member; elastic member; and locking mechanism. The hood member is to cover and to be mounted with the second housing. The elastic member is to be provided between the hood member and second housing. The locking mechanism is to lock the protrusion. The locking mechanism is operated so that the protrusion is drawn in a fitting direction. After the movement of the first and second connector members in the fitting direction is restrained, the locking mechanism is operated so that the hood member is moved while compressing the elastic member, which fix the locking mechanism with the elastic member being compressed.
