  • Patent number: 9865961
    Abstract: A connector including: a housing; a cover that is fixed to the housing so as to cover an opening of the housing; a slider that is housed within the housing, is provided so as to be slidable along the housing, and is configured to slide so that the housing is fitted to the partner connector; an operation-target part configured to slide the slider upon being operated; and a lock mechanism that includes a slider engagement part that is formed on the slider, and a second cover engagement part that is formed on the cover, and is configured such that the slide engagement part engages with the second cover engagement part in a situation where fitting of the housing and the partner connector to each other is complete, so that the cover is prevented from being separated from the slider.

  • Patent number: 7077673
    Abstract: A connector including: a male connector having a generally-box-shaped first housing and a first connection terminal; and a female connector having a generally-box-shaped second housing and a second connection terminal. The second housing has an airway for allowing the second housing inside to communicate with the outside. The first connection terminal has a communicating path for allowing the first housing inside to communicate with the outside. Because the inside of the sealed case and connector can be opened to the atmosphere through the communicating paths, the internal pressure of the sealed case can be brought into a condition close to or agreement with the atmospheric pressure. Even when temperature variations rapidly change the internal pressure of the sealed case, cracking in the sealed case can be avoided because internal pressure changes in the sealed case can be relieved.
