Abstract
A terminal-operating plate is movably mounted on an upper wall of a connector housing. The upper wall has guide slits formed therein which communicate to respective terminal-accommodating chambers where terminal lugs each with a wire are accommodated. The terminal-operating plate has terminal drive arms projecting therefrom which engage with the terminal lugs in the terminal-accommodating chambers. The connector housing is coupled to a mating connector housing, with terminal lugs positioned in the terminal-accommodating chambers, followed by moving the terminal-operating plate in the fitting direction of the connectors to bring the terminal lugs into contact with terminal lugs in a mating connector housing. A pair of connector housings are securely and easily fitted to each other with a low coupling force. The construction is suited for a multipolar connector.
