Electrical connector for vehicle air bag wiring system - has wrong connection preventing mechanism inserted into second connector element to prevent insertion of first connector element before connector elements are coupled

摘要

The connector includes a pair of connector elements (A, B) which are to be connected together. The first connector element (A) has a bolting arm (4). The second connector element has a cap (10) to receive the first element and a bolting ledge (12) inside the cap. The bolting arm engages with the ledge when the connector elements are fully coupled with each other. A mechanism (C) to prevent the insertion of the first connector element into the second is itself inserted into the second connector element before the connector elements are coupled. The mechanism is removed later. ADVANTAGE - Prevents wrong connection of pair of connector elements.
