  • Connector housing having a latch arm with a lower rigidity
    Patent number: 11239598
    Abstract: A connector housing includes a housing main body formed from a first material and a latch arm formed from a second material having a lower rigidity than the first material. The latch arm extends in a cantilever form, forms a boundary portion at a connection between the latch arm and the housing main body, and is configured to elastically deform in relation to the housing main body to latch a latched member. A transition region having a continuously variable mixing ratio between the first material and the second material is present within an expanded boundary region including the boundary portion and expanding into the housing main body and into the latch arm.
