Abstract: A connector support mechanism includes a female connector (4) and a male connector (5). A cam lever (27) formed with a cam groove (43) which guides a boss (21) protruding from the female connector (4) is turnably pivoted by the male connector (5). In a state in which the boss (2) is inserted into the cam groove (43), if the cam lever (27) turns, the female connector (4) and the male connector (5) are fitted to each other. The bracket (3) is provided with a resilient temporarily locking arm (14) which abuts a rear side surface of the boss (21) of the female connector (4). Therefore, a fitting load can be reduced by the function of the cam lever (27), and a structure of the female connector (4) which is temporarily locked to the bracket (3) can also be simplified.

Abstract: Press contact terminals are held in terminal housing chambers of a housing body. A longitudinally intermediate part of a flat circuit is positioned above a top surface opening of the terminal housing chambers. Each conductor of the flat circuit is press-connected to each press contact terminal with a press contact jig. A cover is closed, thereby to fold the flat circuit in two in the vicinity of the press-connected part so that one part is overlaid on the press-connected part. The folded part is sandwiched between the cover and the housing body to be held in a connector housing.

Abstract: A first connector (3) includes: a first housing (12); and a pair of rotary members (13) supported on the first housing (12) for rotating in opposite directions to each other. Rotary members (13) each include: a first engagement member (21, 22); and a second connector (4) configured to be mated with the first connector (3). The second connector (4) includes a second housing (27) configured to be mated with the first housing (12). The second housing (12) includes a pair of first mating engagement members (36). First mating engagement members (36) are each configured to be abutted on the first engagement member for rotating a rotary member (13) and to be locked with the first engagement member (21, 22). The second housing (27) includes a pair of cuts (35). Cuts (35) each are for inserting the rotary member (13) thereinto when the rotary member (13) rotates.

Abstract: A plurality of terminals 22 are fixedly press-connected to an end portion of the flat circuitry 21 in electrically connected relation respectively to conductors 21a, and the terminals 22 are inserted respectively into terminal receiving chambers 24 in a connector housing 23. Slits 26 are formed through the end portion of the flat circuitry 21 in such a manner that the slit is arranged between any two adjacent conductors 21a, and extends from the distal end of the flat circuitry to a position beyond press-connecting portions 25 of the terminals.
