Connector

摘要

Protection walls (31) stand on an upper surface of a connector housing (11) and a lock arm (17) is arranged between them. A planar portion (44) is formed on the upper surface of the lock arm (17) and is connected to the protection walls (31). Grooves (45) extend forward from the rear of the planar portion (44) and a part of the planar portion (44) before the groove (45) defines a deflection support (16) of the lock arm (17). Reverse-turn preventing walls (47) protrude in from the protection walls (31) and reverse-turn preventing pieces (50) protrude out from the lock arm (17) below the reverse-turn preventing walls (47). The reverse-turn preventing pieces (50) contact the reverse-turn preventing walls (47) to limit deflection of the lock arm (17). The deflection support (46) and the reverse-turn preventing walls (47) are at the same height to miniaturize the connector height.

主权项

1. A connector, comprising:
a connector housing; left and right protection walls projecting from the connector housing; a resiliently deflectable lock arm formed between the protection walls and resiliently engageable with a mating connector; left and right deflection supports respectively connecting the left and right protection walls and the lock arm and supporting the lock arm during resilient deflection; at least one reverse-turn preventing wall protruding from at least one of the protection walls toward the lock arm and being coplanar with the left and right deflection supports; and at least one reverse-turn preventing piece protruding out from the lock arm and disposed below the reverse-turn preventing wall and configured to contact the reverse-turn preventing wall for limiting deflection of the lock arm.
