CONNECTOR

摘要

A connector includes a pressure receiving surface (16) on a front of a locking lance (12) and a lock (36) on a terminal (30) is configured to lock the pressure receiving surface (16). An inclined surface (15) on a facing surface (13) of the locking lance (12) faces the terminal (30) and is inclined to be more separated from the terminal fitting (30) toward the back. A guiding surface (18) on the pressure receiving surface (16) is configured to deflect the locking lance (12) toward the terminal (30) when the lock (36) presses the pressure receiving surface (16). A contact surface (21) behind the pressure receiving surface (16) on the locking lance (12) faces the terminal (30). A deflection regulating portion (38) behind the lock (36) on the terminal (30) faces the contact surface (21) while being spaced apart parallel to a resilient deflecting direction of the locking lance (12).

主权项

1. A connector, comprising:
a housing with opposite front and rear ends and internally formed with a terminal accommodating chamber; a terminal fitting to be inserted into the terminal accommodating chamber from behind; a locking lance made of synthetic resin, cantilevered forward along an inner wall of the terminal accommodating chamber and configured to be resiliently deflected in a direction intersecting with an inserting direction in the process of inserting the terminal fitting into the terminal accommodating chamber and resiliently return to a free state when the terminal fitting is properly inserted into the terminal accommodating chamber; a pressure receiving surface formed on a front end surface of the locking lance; a locking portion formed on the terminal fitting and configured to retain the terminal fitting by locking the pressure receiving surface from the front; an inclined surface formed on a facing surface of the locking lance facing the terminal fitting and inclined to be more separated from the terminal fitting toward back; a guiding surface formed on at least one of the pressure receiving surface and the locking portion and configured to deflect the locking lance in a direction toward the terminal fitting when the locking portion presses the pressure receiving surface; a contact surface formed at a position of the locking lance behind the pressure receiving surface and facing the terminal fitting; and a deflection regulating portion formed at a position of the terminal fitting behind the locking portion and configured to face the contact surface while being spaced apart in a direction substantially parallel to a resilient deflecting direction of the locking lance when the locking lance is in the free state free from resilient deflection.
