Abstract
To allow a quick and reliable check with a simple structure as to whether a signal transmission medium has been inserted up to a predetermined position or whether a lock operation has been completed, an insulating housing is provided with lock checking device allowing a displaced state or an engaged state of a lock member to be visually checked. With this, the displaced state of the lock member or a state in which the signal transmission medium has fallen in an engagement positioning part when the signal transmission medium is inserted up to the predetermined position can be visually checked through the lock checking device, thereby allowing the quality of an insertion state of the signal transmission medium to be immediately determined.
Claims8
An electric connector comprising:
- an insulating housing;
- and
- a lock member provided inside the insulating housing and holding, in an approximately unmovable state, a terminal portion of a signal transmission medium inserted in the insulating housing up to a predetermined position,
- the electric connector being configured so that, after a part of the lock member is elastically displaced so as to override the surface of the signal transmission medium with the insert ion of the signal transmission medium, the part of the lock member falls in an engagement positioning part provided at a terminal portion of the signal transmission medium to become in an engaged state,
- wherein the insulating housing is provided with lock checking device allowing a displaced state or an engaged state of the lock member to be visually checked.
