The connector device is configured so that a first connector part and a second connector part are detachable. The connector device has a first lock part constituting a lock part that engages in the attachment/detachment direction between the first connector part and the second connector part.

Connector device with locking mechanism

A connectorincludes two connection terminalsto be respectively connected to ends of two wiresextending side by side and having through holes in tip parts, and a housingfor accommodating the two connection terminalsseparated from each other with the respective tip parts caused to project out. The tip parts of the two connection terminalsare overlapped each other while being spaced apart in an orthogonal direction Z, and the through holes of the two connection terminalsare located on the same axis along the orthogonal direction Z.

Connector and connector connection structure

A terminal, including: a conductor made of a metal material, the conductor being in a form of a plate and being provided with a contact point to be conductively connected to a mating terminal; and a spring formed to be thinner than the conductor and resiliently deformable and provided with a mount mounted on the conductor and a cantilever cantilevered from the mount and relatively displaceable with respect to the conductor, the mating terminal being resiliently held in contact with the contact point by being pressed by the cantilever, a tip of the mating terminal being disposed between the mount and the contact point.

Terminal having a conductor and a spring

A female terminalto be fit to a male terminalis provided with a box-shaped female body portionincluding a ceiling walland a bottom wallfacing each other in a vertical direction and open in a front-rear direction, the male terminalbeing inserted into the female body portion, contact pressure applying portionsprovided between the ceiling walland the bottom wallof the female body portionand configured to apply a contact pressure to the male terminalby contacting the male terminalfrom the side of the ceiling wall, and a pressure increasing plateconfigured to displace the contact pressure applying portionstoward the bottom wallby being inserted into between the ceiling wallof the female body portionand the contact pressure applying portions

Female terminal

A female terminal () includes a female body () having a ceiling wall () and a bottom wall () facing each other. First contact pressure applying portions () apply a contact pressure by contacting a male terminal from the side of the ceiling wall (), and second contact pressure applying portions () apply a contact pressure by contacting the male terminal from the side of the bottom wall (). First contact portions () of the first contact pressure applying portions () and second contact portions of the second contact pressure applying portions () are shifted from each other in the front-rear direction. The contact pressure applied by the first contact pressure applying portions () is lower than the contact pressure applied by the second contact pressure applying portions ().

A connector () includes a body portion (), a conductive member () including a held portion (A) having conductivity and held in the body portion (), a flexible portion (B) extending from the held portion (A) toward a mating terminal () and having flexibility and a connecting portion (C) provided on a leading end part of the flexible portion (B) and to be connected to the mating terminal () by being pressed into contact with the mating terminal (), and a spring member () having a spring property, held in the body portion () and extending from the body portion () toward the connecting portion (C). The spring member () includes a contact portion (C) configured to give a spring property to the connecting portion (C) by being held in contact with the connecting portion (C).

Connector with a spring terminal ensuring reliable connection to a mating terminal

A connector C to be mounted on a case of a device includes a coated wireformed such that a coreis coated with an insulation coating, a terminal fittingto be fit and connected to a mating terminal, a flexible conductorinterposed between the terminal fittingand an end of the coated wire, and a housingmade of synthetic resin and accommodating the terminal fittingtogether with the flexible conductor. The coreof the coated wireis provided with a core fixing portionintegrated with the coreand the core fixing portionis embedded in the housingby molding.
