A connector includes a housing having a first connection portion and a second connection portion adjacent to the first connection portion, a first cap and a second cap pivotally supported by the housing respectively to be displaceable between an open position where the first and second connection portions are exposed to outside and a closed position where the first and second connection portions are shielded from the outside, a first lock and a second lock rotatably supported by the housing configured to lock the first cap and the second cap respectively. The second lock has a power transmission portion configured to transmit a rotational force in a lock releasing direction of the second lock to the first lock such that the first cap and the second cap are integrally displaced to the open position.

Connector with simultaneously operable caps

A connector includes a housing having a first connection portion and a second connection portion adjacent to the first connection portion, a first cap and a second cap pivotally supported by the housing respectively to be displaceable between an open position where the first and second connection portions are exposed to outside and a closed position where the first and second connection portions are shielded from the outside, a first lock and a second lock rotatably supported by the housing to lock the first cap and the second cap respectively, and a power transmission member rotatably supported by the housing. The power transmission member is configured to transmit a rotational force in a lock releasing direction of the second lock to the first lock such that the first cap and the second cap are integrally displaced to the open position.

Connector

A connector includes a terminal configured to be connected to a mating terminal, and having an electric wire led out in a direction orthogonal to a connection direction in which the terminal is connected to the mating terminal, a housing having a cavity part configured to accommodate the terminal, and a rear holder having a terminal holding part configured to hold the terminal. The terminal is accommodated in the cavity part when the rear holder is assembled to the housing. The rear holder includes a locking mechanism that locks the terminal or the electric wire and that maintains a state of the terminal being held in the terminal holding part.
