A connector includes a housing having a housing body, a lock arm and a protective wall. The lock arm includes a swingable arm, a lock claw and a locking projection. The protective wall includes a turn-up preventing projection projecting toward the swingable arm, the turn-up preventing projection being provided such that the locking projection is disposed between the housing body and the turn-up preventing projection and such that the locking projection and the turn-up preventing projection overlap each other in a direction in which the swingable arm swings. With respect to the fitting direction, a front end surface of the locking projection and a front end surface of the turn-up preventing projection are flush with each other and a rear end surface of the locking projection and a rear end surface of the turn-up preventing projection are flush with each other.

Connector

A housing includes a housing main body which has a fitting portion configured to be fitted with a mating housing and having a terminal accommodating chamber, and a hood portion which covers a periphery of the fitting portion. The housing further includes an annular seal member configured to be attached to a base part of the fitting portion, and a retainer configured to be inserted into a retainer accommodating hole to lock a terminal accommodated in the terminal accommodating chamber. An opening portion through which the retainer passes to be inserted into the retainer accommodating hole is formed at a position facing the retainer accommodating hole in the hood portion. A guide portion that guides the retainer into the retainer accommodating hole is provided at an edge portion of the opening portion.

A connector structure has a housing including a connection portion and a retainer to be attached to the connection portion from a lateral side of the connection portion and to lock, when the retainer is attached to the connection portion, the terminal. The connection portion includes an upper portion and a lower portion, at least one of which having a guide rail. The retainer includes a pair of plate portions and a coupling portion coupling the plate portions to each other at a first side of the retainer, the retainer being to be attached to the connection portion from a second side of the retainer, the second side being opposite to the first side. At least one of the plate portions has a slide rail to engage with the guide rail when the retainer is attached to the connection portion.

Connector structure

A housing includes a housing main body configured to be fitted with a mating housing, and a cover configured to be mounted to an end portion of the housing main body from which an electric wire is drawn out and to cover the electric wire drawn out from the housing main body. The housing main body includes a lock arm for locking a protruding portion of the mating housing, and a release arm that swings when an operation portion of the release arm is pressed to release a locking of the protruding portion and the lock arm. The cover has a lock piece that is interposed between the housing main body and the operation portion when the cover is mounted to the housing main body so as to restrict a swing of the release arm.

Housing with lock piece

A terminal crimping device includes a terminal feeding device, a crimping device and an electric-wire holding mechanism that holds an electric wire with an end portion of the electric wire placed above an electric-wire connecting portion of a crimp terminal. The electric-wire holding mechanism includes an upper surface of a terminal cutting body, on which the electric wire is placed, and an electric-wire presser that is moved downward toward the upper surface and presses and thereby holds the electric wire placed on the upper surface. Between the electric-wire placing portion and a lower surface of the electric-wire presser, an electric-wire holding space is formed that inclines in the same direction to a declining direction in which the end portion of the electric wire is declined in association with downward move of the second die toward the first die, and that holds the electric wire in a thus inclined state.
