CONNECTOR DEVICE

摘要

A connector device includes a wire harness side connector including a first housing, and a sensor side connector including a second housing. The first connector includes a third housing provided so as to be freely rotatable in the first housing. The first housing rotates with respect to the third housing and is fitted to the second housing. The first housing is freely movable with respect to the third housing in the axial direction between a pre-fitting position and a fitting completion position and has a force applied thereto by a spring on the pre-fitting position side. A rotational position return mechanism is provided that returns, when the connector fitting is released, the rotational position of the first housing to an initial rotational position during a process in which the first housing is moved from the fitting completion position to the pre-fitting position by an elastic force of the spring.

主权项

1. A connector device, comprising:
a first connector including a first housing part in which a first terminal is disposed; and a second connector including a second housing part in which a second terminal is disposed, the first connector including a third housing part provided so as to be rotatable to the first housing part, the third housing part provided with an external connector fitting part in which a third terminal is disposed, the third terminal and the first terminal connected to each other through a wire; when a fitting orientation of the first housing part is different from a fitting orientation of the second housing part, the first housing part rotating in relation to the third housing part, thereby fitting the second housing, the first terminal to be connected to the second terminal under condition that fitting of the connectors is complete, the first housing part axially movable to the third housing part between a pre-fitting position thereof and a fitting completion position thereof, the first housing part being urged toward the pre-fitting position by an urging member; and a rotational position return mechanism that returns, when the fitting of the connectors is released, the rotational position of the first housing part to an initial rotation position thereof during a process in which the first housing part is moved from the fitting completion position to the pre-fitting position by an urging force of the urging member.
