Abstract: A connector comprises a contact pin, a housing into which the contact pin is inserted, and a retainer. The contact pin includes a contact point portion formed on an end thereof and defining an opening adapted to receive a mating contact, and an engagement portion. The engagement portion is defined at least partially through the contact point portion, and includes a continuous opening formed partially through a side wall of the contact point portion in a height direction and partially through a top wall or a bottom wall of the contact point portion in a width direction. The retainer is insertable into the housing in a direction intersecting the direction of insertion of the contact pin. The retainer is adapted to be inserted into the housing and engage with the engagement portion of the contact pin to secure the contact pin within the housing.

Abstract: The sealing element of the waterproof connector has a shape in which a family seal portion that waterproofs the peripheries of electric wires which are sandwiched between an inner housing and an outer housing 40, and which are not illustrated, and a seal ring portion that performs waterproofing between the seal ring portion and a mating housing are integrated. The standing board portions of the inner housing penetrate the long openings of the sealing element, and the portion to be caught of the outer housing is caught by catch protrusion portions that are formed in upper portions of the standing board portions and each have a hook shape, whereby the inner housing and the outer housing are assembled in a state in which the family seal portion of the sealing element is sandwiched between the inner housing and the outer housing. The mating housing comes into contact with the third waterproof portion of the sealing element, which acts as the seal ring portion.

Abstract: An electrical connector is disclosed having a terminal housing, a female terminal, and a holding protrusion. The female terminal is positioned in the terminal housing and has a terminal body into which a complementary male terminal may be inserted and extracted. The holding protrusion projects from the terminal body in a direction orthogonal to inserting and extracting directions, and is press-fitted in the terminal receiving terminal housing.

Abstract: An electrical connector is disclosed having a housing and a female terminal. The housing has an assembly receiving space. The female terminal is positioned in the assembly receiving space and has a first female terminal, a second female terminal, and an elastic connecting spring. The first female terminal has a first contact receiving space. The second female terminal has a second contact receiving space and is independently displaceable relative to the first female terminal along a longitudinal axis. The elastic connecting spring connects the first female terminal to the second female terminal.

Abstract: An electrical connector is disclosed having a terminal housing and a female type terminal positioned in the terminal housing. The terminal housing has a first terminal housing, and a second terminal housing positioned independent from the first terminal housing. The female type terminal has a first female terminal, second female terminal, and a coupling member. The first female terminal is positioned in the first terminal housing and is electrically connected to a first male terminal. The second female terminal is positioned in the second terminal housing and is electrically connected to a second male terminal. The coupling member connects the first female terminal to the second female terminal.

Abstract: A water-proof connector has a inner housing, a wire seal, and an outer housing. The outer housing has a plurality of electrical wire insertion passageways and a plurality of first boss pins disposed along an outer periphery of a region in which electrical wire insertion passageways are formed. The plurality of first boss pins include tip end parts with a tapered surface only in a portion facing outward from the region in which the electrical wire insertion passageways are formed.
