Abstract: A connector includes: a terminal; a housing; a rear holder; and a rubber plug. A terminal receiving chamber of the housing is provided with: a first receiving portion receiving a wire connecting portion, an electric wire connected to the wire connecting portion, and a rubber plug; a second receiving portion; and a step wall interposed between the first and second receiving portions and allowing a flange portion formed on the wire connecting portion to abut on the step wall. The rubber plug is composed of a ring-shaped packing attached to the electric wire and keeping a space between an outer peripheral wall of the electric wire and an inner wall of the first receiving portion watertight, and a resin member. The resin member is provided with a buried portion buried in the packing, and a cylinder portion extended from the buried portion and interposed between the flange and the packing.

Abstract: A connector is provided with a terminal fitting, a housing, a rear holder, a rubber closures, and a spacers. The spacer is provided with a main body shaped cutaway-circular in cross-section, positioning the electric wire connection part and an electric wire 8 therewithin, and two pairs of projections opposing to each other, projecting from inside of the main body. A width K1 of the cutaway is formed smaller than the diameter of the electric wire. The connector is assembled in such a way that the diametric portion of the electric wire connection part and the electric wire is passed through between the two pairs of projections while the two pairs of projections are enlarged, so as to be positioned within the main body.

Abstract: A lever is attached to a connector housing in a rotatable manner. This lever includes a pair of arm plates having rotation supporting points at one ends and a connection bar linking the other ends of the arm plates. This lever has a substantially U-like shape. According to this lever, when one ends of the pair of arm plates are opened to the outer sides, the rotation supporting point of the lever is attached, in a rotatable manner, to a rotation supporting pivot of the outer face of the connector housing. By this structure, the lever is rotated for operation to realize a cam action to assist the connectors to be fitted to each other and to be disengaged from one another. According to this lever-type connector, the lever is attached to the connector housing, and subsequently the connection between the arm plates at a position closer to the rotation supporting point of the lever than to the connection bar is provided as a link member linking the arm plates.
