MALE CONNECTOR EQUIPPED WITH LOCK MECHANISM

摘要

A lock mechanism includes a hood (20) that is arranged so as to surround the periphery of a male member (10) and is for insertion of a female connector (100), and a single lock lever (30) having a cantilever support structure capable of elastic displacement. The lock lever (30) is arranged with the free end (30a) thereof on the tip side of the male member (10), with the fixed end (30b) thereof on the base end side of the male member (10), and with the lengthwise direction thereof being approximately parallel to the male member (10). The lock lever (30) includes a claw (34) for engaging with the female connector (100). An operation arm (35) protrudes from the face of the lock lever (30) on the side opposite to the male member (10), and extends toward the fixed end (30b) side. If a pressing force in the direction approaching the male member (10) is applied to the tip (35a) of the operation arm (35), the lock lever (30) undergoes elastic deformation such that the claw (34) moves away from the male member (10).

主权项

1. A male connector with a lock mechanism comprising:
a bar-shaped male member for insertion into a female connector; and a lock mechanism for maintaining a state in which the male member is inserted into the female connector, wherein the lock mechanism includes:
a hood that is arranged so as to surround a periphery of the male member and is for insertion of the female connector; anda single lock lever having a cantilever support structure capable of elastic displacement, the lock lever is arranged with a free end thereof on a tip side of the male member, with a fixed end thereof on a base end side of the male member, and with a lengthwise direction thereof being approximately parallel to the male member, the lock lever includes a claw for engaging with the female connector, an operation arm protrudes from a face of the lock lever on a side opposite to the male member, and extends toward the fixed end side, and when a pressing force in a direction approaching the male member is applied to a tip of the operation arm, the lock lever undergoes elastic deformation such that the claw moves away from the male member.
