Connector with functional portion projecting from side surface of connector hosing and terminal accommodating chamber in the functional portion

摘要

A female connector (F) includes a block-like main body (11) formed with terminal accommodating chambers (17). Projection-like functional portions (16) made of synthetic resin project from outer surfaces of the main body (11) and terminal accommodating chambers (17) are formed in the projection-like functional portions (16). Terminal fittings (40) are accommodated into the terminal accommodating chambers (17). Spaces constituting the terminal accommodating chambers (17) are present in the projection-like functional portions (16). Thus, even if the projection-like functional portions (16) are enlarged, sinks will not form in the projection-like functional portions (16) in a molding process.
