CONNECTOR

摘要

A connector includes a connector housing provided with multiple terminal housing chambers. The multiple terminal housing chambers are separated by top walls, bottom walls, and side walls. Lances are supported by the bottom walls of the terminal housing chambers, which are located on the same surface side. Each of the bottom walls includes a cutout portion which avoids interference with the lance when the lance bends in a direction to retreat from the terminal housing chamber. Each lance bends in the direction to retreat from the terminal housing chamber when a terminal is inserted into the terminal housing chamber. When the terminal is fully inserted into a regular insertion position, each lance recovers from flexural deformation and is locked to the terminal.

主权项

1. A connector comprising:
a connector housing including a plurality of terminal housing chambers on a plurality of stages; and lances each being supported by a wall of the corresponding terminal housing chamber, projecting into the terminal housing chamber, and being configured to bend in a direction to retreat from the terminal housing chamber when a terminal is inserted into the terminal housing chamber and to recover from flexural deformation when the terminal is fully inserted into a regular insertion position;wherein
the lances are supported by the walls of the terminal housing chambers, which are located on the same surface side; the terminal housing chambers on one of the stages and the terminal housing chambers on a stage adjacent to the one of the stages are arranged in such a way as to be shifted from one another; and each of the walls includes a cutout portion configured to avoid interference with the corresponding lance when the lance bends in the direction to retreat from the terminal housing chamber.
