Abstract
A connector for preventing a front end portion of a connection terminal, inserted into a terminal insertion hole, from falling into an erroneous insertion prevention groove. The groove for receiving the erroneous insertion prevention projection formed on the connection terminal is formed at each terminal insertion hole formed in a connector housing for receiving the connection terminal. The groove is formed at a position offset from a front end portion of the connection terminal, or the groove is smaller in width than this front end portion.
Claims5
A connector comprising:
- a connector housing having a terminal insertion hole for receiving a connection terminal;
- and
- a groove formed at the terminal insertion hole for receiving an erroneous insertion prevention projection of the connection terminal, and for preventing a front end portion of the connection terminal from falling into said groove, said groove having a width that is larger than a width of the front end portion of said connection terminal,
- wherein when the erroneous insertion prevention projection is fitted in the groove, opposite side edges of the groove are offset in the same direction from the front end portion of the connection terminal.
A connector comprising:
- a connector housing having a terminal insertion hole for receiving a connection terminal;
- and
- a groove formed at the terminal insertion hole for receiving an erroneous insertion prevention projection of the connection terminal and for preventing a front end portion of the connection terminal from falling into said groove, said groove having a width that is larger than a width of the front end portion of said connection terminal,
- wherein when the erroneous insertion prevention projection is fitted in the groove, at least one of opposite side edges of the groove is disposed inwardly of a width of the front end portion of the connection terminal.
A connector comprising:
- a connector housing having a terminal insertion hole for receiving a connection terminal;
- and
- a groove formed at the terminal insertion hole for receiving an erroneous insertion prevention projection of the connection terminal and for preventing a front end portion of the connection terminal from falling into said groove,
- wherein a width of the groove is smaller than a width of a front end portion of the connection terminal.
