【発明の名称】コネクタの端子半挿入検知機構
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP3089183
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
A mechanism for detecting whether a terminal of a connector is full-inserted or half-inserted into a terminal receiving chamber. A housing of the connector has a terminal receiving chamber into which a metal terminal is to be inserted, a flexible engagement arm projecting into the terminal receiving chamber and being designed engage to a metal terminal inserted into the terminal receiving chamber to thereby prevent disengagement of the metal terminal from the terminal receiving chamber, and a wall defining a deformation space between itself and the engagement arm, the engagement arm deformable in the deformation space. A front holder is to be inserted into the deformation space so as to prevent the metal terminal from being disengaged from the terminal receiving chamber, and has a half-insertion detector for detecting half-insertion of the metal terminal into the terminal receiving chamber. The wall includes an abutment surface to which the half-insertion detector abuts when the metal terminal is half-inserted into the terminal receiving chamber, the abutment surface being located closer to the deformation space than to a free end of the engagement arm. The wall further includes, at an inlet through which the front holder is to be inserted into the housing, an abutment surface guide for deforming the half-insertion detector towards the abutment surface.
