Abstract
A press-connecting connector (1) includes a rear holder (4). The rear holder (4) is pivotally connected to a housing body (2) through hinges (3), and includes slide levers (4B). The slide levers (4B) are engageable in guide spaces (7), formed in the housing body (2) and extending in a forward/rearward direction of the connector (1), and can move in accordance with the pivotal movement of the rear holder (4).
Claims16
A press-connecting connector, comprising:
- a housing body having an upwardly-open portion, and a plurality of juxtaposed terminal receiving chambers into which a plurality of press-connecting terminals are respectively insertable;
- a rear holder pivotally connected to the housing body through a hinge, so that the rear holder can close the upwardly-open portion;
- a guide space formed in the housing body so as to extend in a connector forward/rearward direction;
- and
- a slide lever projected on a hinge-connected end portion of the rear holder,
- wherein when the rear holder is pivotally moved to close the upwardly-open portion, the slide lever is engaged in the guide space so as to prevent displacement of the rear holder in an axial direction of pivotal movement thereof.
