Abstract: A female electrical terminal has clamping segments 13 with contact faces 15A for tab-type terminals and contact faces 14A for pin-type terminals. A receiving segment 16 has a tab-type terminal contact face 15B and pin-type terminal contact faces 14B. The space between the tab-type terminal contact faces 15A and 15B forms a tab-type terminal insertion slot 17. The space enclosed by the pin-type terminal contact faces 14A, 14A, 14B forms a pin-type terminal insertion slot 19. Various configurations are disclosed.

Abstract: A connector cover has a simple type of lock device and positively protects a connector. The connector cover includes a cover body having a cover-side projection that is engageable with a projection on a connector housing to prevent removal of the connector cover. Manipulation pieces extend from the cover body. With this construction, by holding the manipulation pieces, that portion of the cover body around the projection is elastically deformed, so that the engagement of the projection with the housing-side projection is released.

Abstract: A connector includes first terminals that are mounted on a vehicle-side housing in a projected manner, and second terminals that are mounted on a power source-side housing. A first contact portion provided at one end of each of the second terminals is so disposed as to be contacted with a respective one of the first terminals, and a first opening/closing switch of a detection circuit is constituted therebetween. A second contact portion provided at the other end of the second terminal is disposed in facing relation to a contact plate affixed to a lower surface of a lock lever, and a second opening/closing switch is constituted therebetween. In a half-fitted condition, the first opening/closing switches are closed, but the second opening/closing switches are open, and therefore, the detection circuit has not yet been closed.
