Abstract
A connector includes an outer housing, an inner housing, and a sliding member. The inner housing includes a protrusion catch and a slide channel including a slide surface, and to be engaged with the outer housing. The sliding member includes a protrusion to latch the protrusion catch, and a lower surface. The lower surface faces with the slide surface, and includes a plane part, and a thickened part upraised from the plane. The thickened part is formed with an offset surface offset from the plane of the lower surface, formed at a position contacting the slide surface, and formed as a plane.
Claims6
A connector comprising:
- a first housing;
- a second housing comprising a protrusion catch and a slide channel including a slide surface, the second housing being to be engaged with the first housing;
- and
- a sliding member comprising a protrusion to latch the protrusion catch, and a first surface facing the slide surface, the first surface comprising a part that is a plane, and a thickened part upraised from the plane, the sliding member being placed in the slide channel,
- wherein:
- the thickened part is formed with a second surface offset from the plane of the first surface, formed at a position contacting the slide surface, and at least partially formed as a plane;
- and
- when the first housing and the second housing are engaged with each other, the first housing depresses the protrusion latching the protrusion catch of the second housing to cancel a latching between the protrusion catch and the protrusion, enabling the sliding member to be slidable.
