Abstract
When a terminal unit (U) is mounted into an accommodation recess (8 of a connector housing (1), a rear part thereof projects from the connector housing (1). A displacement restricting member (2) including positioning portions (16) is mounted on the projecting part. Since the positioning portions (16) are fit into receiving portions (15) of the connector housing (1) while being position in a direction intersecting with an inserting direction, a situation where the projecting part of the terminal holding member (H) is deformed is avoided even if a second wire (25) is swung.
Claims9
A connector, comprising:
- a connector housing (1;
- 62;
- 81;
- 102;
- 123;
- 132;
- 144) including at least one terminal accommodation chamber (3) and at least one accommodation recess (8);
- a first terminal fitting (4) to be at least partly inserted into the terminal accommodation chamber (3);
- one or more second terminal fittings (26) to be connected to a wire (25), particularly a twisted pair cable;
- a terminal holding member (H) being capable of at least partly accommodating the second terminal fitting(s) (26);
- a terminal unit (U) including the second terminal fitting(s) (26) connected to the wire (25) and the terminal holding member (H) at least partly accommodating the second terminal fitting(s) (26), a rear part of the terminal holding member (H) projecting rearward from the connector housing (1;
- 62;
- 81;
- 102;
- 123;
- 132;
- 144) when the terminal unit (U) at least partly is mounted into the accommodation recess (8);
- and
- a displacement restricting member (2;
- 60;
- 87;
- 100;
- 120;
- 130;
- 140) to be provided at least on either one of the connector housing (1;
