Abstract
It is aimed to prevent the expansion of a connector housing sandwiching and holding a terminal fitting. A connector is provided with a terminal fitting (10) fixed to a wire (14) and a connector housing (20) for sandwiching and holding the terminal fitting (10) between an upper housing (30) and a lower housing (40). The upper housing (30) and the lower housing (40) are assembled by being slid in a direction intersecting a sandwiching direction of the terminal fitting (10). The upper housing (30) and the lower housing (40) are formed with hooking portions (34, 43, 51, 52, 55, 56) to be hooked to each other in a non-resilient state in the sandwiching direction of the terminal fitting (10).
Claims5
A connector, comprising:
- a plurality of terminal fittings each fixed to a wire;
- and
- a connector housing for sandwiching and holding the terminal fittings between an upper housing and a lower housing,
- the upper housing and the lower housing being assembled by being slid in a direction intersecting a sandwiching direction of the terminal fittings, and
- the upper housing and the lower housing being formed with hooking portions to be hooked to each other in a resiliently undeformed state in the sandwiching direction of the terminal fittings,
- wherein the wires are led out rearward from a rear end of the connector housing,
- the upper housing includes a plurality of terminal accommodation chambers for accommodating the plurality of terminal fittings in parallel,
- the hooking portions of the upper housing include rear projections formed on rear end portions of separation wall portions each partitioning between adjacent ones of the terminal accommodation chambers,
- at least one of the hooking portions of the lower housing includes at least one rear recess to which the rear projections are hooked, and
- the rear projections are accommodated and hooked to the at least one rear recess.
