Abstract: A terminal contact portion (15) of a female terminal (11) includes: a bottom plate (35); a first side plate (37) and a second side plate (41); a top plate (39) continuously bent from the first side plate (37); an elastic piece (19) bent to be overlaid on the top plate (39) at an elastic piece bent portion (47) corresponding to an end portion of the top plate (39) along a terminal lengthwise direction; a pair of engaging projections (43) provided to project in a bent edge portion of the elastic piece (19); and a pair of engaging holes (45) formed in the first side plate (37) correspondingly to the engaging projections (43).

Abstract: A connector (11) is provided with a connector housing (13) which is formed to be divided into a connector section (17) with a terminal accommodation chamber (23) formed therein, and a connector cover section (19), and in which the connector section (17) and the connector cover section (19) are integrated with each other by being slide-fitted to each other. A spacer (15) which is locked to the connector housing (13) at a temporary locking position and a final locking position penetrates the connector section (17) and the connector cover section (19), thereby restricting movements of the connector section (17) and the connector cover section (19) in a slide fitting release direction (E), whereby the connector housing (13) is integrally retained.

Abstract: A connector housing includes a terminal receiving chamber and a pair of lances for locking the terminal on both sides of the terminal receiving chamber. A terminal pullout jig inserted into the connector housing displaces the lances to respective unlocking positions, thus pulling out the terminal from the terminal receiving chamber. The connector housing includes a pair of unlocking wall portions configured to be elastically deformed integrally with the pair of lances respectively. The terminal pullout jig includes an unlocking arm portion configured to displace the pair of the lances to the respective unlocking positions, and a terminal pressing portion for pressing the terminal in a terminal pullout direction.

Abstract: A connector assembling structure includes: a connector including a connector housing provided with terminal chambers, lance entry holes opening into the terminal chambers, and a retainer insertion hole opening into the terminal chambers, terminals inserted and housed in the terminal chambers, and a retainer inserted in the retainer insertion hole to lock the terminals housed in the terminal chambers and thereby to prevent the terminals from moving in the direction opposite to the insertion direction of the terminals; and a jig detachably provided on the connector housing, and including flexible locking lances which enter the terminal chambers via the lance entry holes in the state in which the jig is attached to the connector housing.

Abstract: A terminal for a waterproof connector to be inserted through a waterproof plug is provided. A fitting tube part of the terminal has a square tube shape and includes first to third walls. The first wall has a side extending in a longitudinal direction of the terminal. The second wall is extended from the side in orthogonal to the first wall, and has a side edge extending in the longitudinal direction at opposite side with respect to the first wall. The third wall opposes the first wall, and has a side edge extending in the longitudinal direction and contacting the side edge of the second wall. An engaging piece is extended from the side edge of the third wall in orthogonal to the third wall so as to overlap the second wall. The second wall is formed with a concave portion accommodating the engaging piece.

Abstract: A connector comprises: a female terminal configured to connect to a male terminal being inserted thereinto, the female terminal having a first guide surface at an end portion thereof on a fitting surface side to the male terminal, the first guide surface being configured to guide a front end portion of the male terminal to a regular insertion position thereof; and a connector housing having: a terminal accommodation chamber configured to accommodate the female terminal, having an opening into which the male terminal is inserted; and a second guide surface at an peripheral edge of the opening of the terminal accommodation chamber, being configured to guide the front end portion of the male terminal to the regular insertion position.

Abstract: A female terminal for receiving a male terminal is provided. The female terminal includes: a tubular box part having a receiving portion for receiving the male terminal therein; a spring piece which includes a fixed end provided inside the box part, and a free end pinching the male terminal between the spring piece and the box part by an elastic reaction force of the spring piece. The spring piece is made of a metal as a separate member from the box part.
