A connector including a male housing and a female housing is provided. A beak portion of the male housing has a push-back surface provided on a front side of the male housing with a top portion of the beak portion as a boundary and inclined outward gradually toward a rear side of the male housing, and a pull-in surface provided on the rear side of the male housing with the portion of the beak portion as a boundary and inclined inward gradually toward the rear side of the male housing. When the locking claw of the locking arm of the fitting assurance member reaches a boundary between the locking projection of the male housing and the lock piece of the female housing, the pressing claw of the elastic arm in the fitting assurance member is disposed on the pull-in surface side over the top portion of the beak portion.

Connector

A vehicle sun visor has a sun visor body including an electrical component, a non-conductive arm including a cylindrical-end portion on which contact parts of a pair of conductor are arranged and rotatably holding the sun visor body, a mounting bracket configured to mount the non-conductive arm to a vehicle, and a connector detachably attached to the mounting bracket and including a pair of terminals each having a contact portion to contact with a corresponding contact part of the pair of conductors and configured to supply electric power. The mounting bracket includes an arm-supporting portion rotatably supporting a cylindrical-end-portion side of the non-conductive arm. The contact parts of the pair of conductors are formed in an arcuate-plate shape. The contact parts in arcuate-plate shape are arranged via a gap on an outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical-end portion exposed outside the arm-supporting portion of the non-conductive arm.

A connector () includes terminals (), a bus bar (), and a housing (). Electric wires () are connected to the terminals (). The bus bar () electrically connects the terminals. The housing () has terminal receiving chambers () and a bus bar receiving chamber (). The terminals () are received in the terminal receiving chambers (). The bus bar () is received in the bus bar receiving chamber (). The bus bar has contact pieces (), a coupling portion (), and support portions (). The support portions () extend from both end portions of the coupling portion. A position where the contact pieces make contact with contact point portions and a position where protrusions () provided in the support portions are locked to the bus bar receiving chamber are aligned with each other in a longitudinal direction of the housing.

Connector with protrusions near contact pieces

A vehicle sun visor includes a sun visor body, an arm including a cylindrical end portion provided with contact parts of a pair of conductors and rotatably holding the sun visor body, a mounting bracket configured to mount the arm to a vehicle, and a connector having a pair of terminals each including a contact portion configured to contact each contact part. The mounting bracket includes an arm-supporting portion supporting the cylindrical end portion. The contact parts are a pair of arcuate-plate-shaped contact parts. The pair of arcuate-plate-shaped contact parts is provided at a predetermined interval on an outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical end portion. The housing of the connector further includes a lubricating oil reservoir being disposed at a position facing to at least one arcuate-plate-shaped contact part and configured to store lubricating oil to be supplied to the at least one arcuate-plate-shaped contact part.

A vehicle sun visor has a sun visor body including an electrical component, an arm including a cylindrical-end portion on which contact parts of a pair of conductors are arranged and rotatably holding the sun visor body, a mounting bracket for mounting the arm to a vehicle, and a connector attached to the mounting bracket and including a pair of terminals each having a contact portion to contact with a corresponding contact part of the pair of conductors. The mounting bracket includes an arm-supporting portion rotatably supporting a cylindrical-end portion of the arm. The connector is provided with an engaging protrusion. The arm is provided with an annular projection formed on an outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical-end portion exposed outside the arm-supporting portion and configured to engage with the engaging protrusion of the connector. The annular projection has a cutout to guide the engaging protrusion.

A connector includes: a housing; terminals inserted in the housing from a first side of the housing; a short circuit terminal inserted in the housing from a second side of the housing, having contact pieces configured to contact the terminals respectively, and connecting the terminals to each other; and a front holder attached to the housing from the second side of the housing, configured to retain the terminals in the housing, and having a displacement portion. The displacement portion of the front holder attached to the housing displaces the contact pieces of the short circuit terminal inserted in the housing with the terminals not inserted in the housing, by a prescribed distance in a direction of separating the contact pieces from the terminals.

Connector having short circuit terminal

A connector includes a male housing having a male beak, a plurality of male terminals, a female housing having a female lock portion climbing over the male beak to be locked to the male beak in a fitted state with the male housing, a plurality of female terminals aligned in the alignment direction in the female housing and connected to the respective male terminals in the fitted state, a CPA member having a CPA lock portion capable of being locked to the female lock portion at a fitting assurance position, and short-circuiting pieces provided in the female housing and short-circuiting the adjacent female terminals in the female housing in a non-fitted state. Contact positions between the female terminals and the short-circuiting pieces and locking positions at which the female terminals are locked in the female housing are different from each other about a fitting direction when viewed therefrom.

A connector includes a substantially box-shaped housing, a female terminal inserted inside the housing, and a busbar supported by the housing. The housing includes a terminal housing chamber in which the female terminal is accommodated, a locking arm having elasticity, and a guide wall which guides the busbar within the housing. The locking arm includes a first securing section at which one end side is secured, a second securing section at which the other end side is secured, and an arm section connecting the first securing section and the second securing section. A linking part provided in a linked manner from the guide wall is integrally formed with the second securing section. The distance between the first securing section and the second securing section is set as the distance at which the elastic force of the locking arm is the desired elastic force.

A connector () includes a connector housing (), a terminal () received in a terminal reception chamber (), and a retainer () inserted in a retainer insertion hole () of the connector housing () and configured to shift between a terminal insertion allowable position and a terminal fit position. A terminal locking protrusion () of the retainer () has a base protrusion () configured to come in contact with a rear wall () of an opposite terminal connection part () of the terminal () with the retainer () being in the terminal fit position, and a tip end protrusion () provided on an enter-side face of the base protrusion () and configured to enter space inside a connection part () of the terminal () with the retainer () being in the terminal fit position.
