Abstract: A connector includes: a female terminal housing provided with a terminal receiving cavity receiving a female terminal; and a male terminal housing retaining a male terminal to be connected to the female terminal. The male and female terminal housings have first and second engagement portions. The male and female terminal housings are fitted in a first fitting position by the first engagement portion. The male and female terminal housings are fitted in a second fitting position by the second engagement portion. The first fitting position is a position in which the locking hole of the female terminal is engaged with the lance of the terminal receiving cavity, and in which the male terminal is not in sliding contact with the female terminal. The second fitting position is a position in which the male terminal is in sliding contact with the female terminal.

Abstract: A PDP comprises: front and back glass substrates facing each other across a discharge space; a plurality of row electrode pairs and column electrodes disposed between the front and back glass substrates and extending in directions at right angles to each other to form discharge cells in positions corresponding to the intersections in the discharge space; and an electride compound in which electrons are substituted for part of anions in the crystal lattice and which is disposed in an area facing the discharge cells and exposed to each discharge cell.

Abstract: A connector is provided. The connector can include a first housing that can define a bore for receipt of a first electrical terminal. The first housing can have an outer housing and an inner housing. The inner housing can include a housing lock, and can be moveable relative to the outer housing to enable the housing lock to move from a locked position to an unlocked position. The connector can include a second housing, which can define a bore for receipt of a second electrical terminal. The second housing can include a ramp that engages a portion of the housing lock when the housing lock is in the locked position to move the housing lock into the unlocked position. The ramp can be retained by the housing lock in the locked position to secure the first housing to the second housing.

Abstract: There is provided a press-connecting tool by which the deformation of a sheath of a wire, as well as the loosening of a conductor of the wire, is prevented at the time of the press-connecting operation so as to keep the conductor in good contact with a press-connecting blade, thereby increasing a wire holding force and also stabilizing a contact resistance. In the press-connecting tool of the invention, a pair of opposed crush prevention walls for preventing the wire from being crushed in the press-connecting direction during the press-connecting operation extend downwardly from each of opposite lower ends of the arcuate pressing portion. The crush prevention walls and the arcuate pressing portion, which jointly form a wire pressing groove for receiving the wire, can contact a sheath of the wire at least over a half of an outer peripheral length of the sheath.
