Abstract
A connector assembly comprises a male connector and a female connector. The male connector includes a cap housing, an access terminal accommodated in the cap housing, a connecting part fixably mounted in the cap housing, and a protection part configured to be movable relative to the connecting part in a lengthwise direction of the access terminal. The female connector includes a plug housing configured to insert in the cap housing. The plug housing is configured to release a fastening state between the connecting part and the protection part and to push the protection part toward a floor surface of the connecting part during coupling of the male connector and the female connector.

A connector assembly, comprising:
- a male connector including:
- a cap housing, the cap housing being formed to accommodate an access terminal;
- a connecting part including a support structure fixably mounted in the cap housing;
- and
- a protection part engaging with and supported by the support structure of the connecting part within the cap housing and configured to be movable relative to the connecting part in a lengthwise direction of the access terminal;
- and
- a female connector including a plug housing configured to be inserted in the cap housing, the plug housing is configured to release a fastening state between the connecting part and the protection part and to push the protection part toward a floor surface of the connecting part during coupling of the male connector and the female connector.
A connector assembly, comprising:
- a male connector including:
- a cap housing, the cap housing being formed to accommodate an access terminal;
- a connecting part fixably mounted in the cap housing;
- a slider configured to be slidable relative to the connecting part and to prevent the access terminal from separating from the connecting part, wherein the slider has a slider body and a slider lever configured to protrude from the slider body in order to transmit power from an outside to the slider body;
- and
- a protection part configured to be movable relative to the connecting part in a lengthwise direction of the access terminal;
- and
- a female connector including a plug housing configured to insert in the cap housing, the plug housing is configured to release a fastening state between the connecting part and the protection part and to push the protection part toward a floor surface of the connecting part during coupling of the male connector and the female connector.
A male connector, comprising:
- a cap housing having a cap body and a fastening structure provided in the cap body, the cap housing being formed to accommodate an access terminal;
- a connecting part including a connecting body and a support rod configured to protrude from the connecting body and to be elastically deformable, the connecting body and the support rod are manufactured as a member separate from the cap housing and assembled so as to be arranged within the cap housing;
- and
- a protection part provided in the cap housing and configured to engage with and be supported by the support rod, the protection part ascends or descends relative to the cap housing, the connecting part is arranged between an area of the cap housing formed to accommodate the access terminal and the protection part and configured to be immovable relative to the cap housing by the fastening structure that fastens the cap housing and the connecting part to each other.
