Abstract
An assembling structure for assembling a press-fitting connector. In the assembling structure, first, a housing and a cover are assembled together by fitting a locking protrusion of a standing wall portion of the housing and a locking arm of the cover. Next, a coupling wall portion is coupled to the locking arm, a nipping wall portion is coupled to the coupling wall portion, and the standing wall portion is held between the locking arm and the nipping wall portion. Since the locking arm and the standing wall portion integrally follow deformation described below even if electric wire bending tension operates upon the electric wire and the housing and the cover are deformed, the degree of fitting between the locking protrusion and the locking arm is not decreased and the fitting is kept.
Claims6
An assembling structure of a press-fitting connector, comprising:
- a first connecting member having partition portions and a bottom wall portion forming a terminal receiving chamber and a standing wall portion on one surface of which a locking protrusion is formed, said bottom wall portion being perpendicular to said standing wall portion;
- a second connecting member having a locking arm to be fitted to the locking protrusion and to be attached to said first connecting member, and said second connecting member having a bottom portion from which said locking arm extends perpendicularly;
- and
- a nipping wall portion coupled to the locking arm by a coupling wall portion so that said nipping wall portion is opposite to the other surface of the standing wall portion and for nipping the standing wall portion in cooperation with the locking arm, wherein said coupling wall portions are perpendicular to said bottom wall portion of said first connecting member and said bottom portion of said second connecting member.
An assembling structure of a press-fitting connector, comprising:
- a first connector member having partition portions forming a terminal receiving chamber and a standing wall portion on one surface of which a locking protrusion is formed;
- a second connecting member having a locking arm to be fitted to the locking protrusion and to be attached to said first connecting member;
- and
- a nipping wall portion coupled to the locking arm by a coupling wall portion so that said nipping wall portion is opposite to the other surface of the standing wall portion and for nipping the standing wall portion in cooperation with the locking arm,
- wherein a fitting hole is formed in the coupling wall portion, and a fitting protrusion to be fitted into the fitting hole is formed in the standing wall portion.
An assembling structure of a press-fitted connector, comprising:
- a first connector member having a bottom wall portion and a standing wall portion on one surface of which a locking protrusion is formed, said bottom wall portion being perpendicular to said standing wall portion;
- a second connecting member having partition walls forming a terminal receiving chamber and a locking arm to be fitted to the locking protrusion and to be attached to said first connecting member, and a bottom portion from which said locking arm extends perpendicularly;
- and
- a nipping wall portion coupled to the locking arm by a coupling wall portion so that said nipping wall portion is opposite to the other surface of the standing wall portion and for nipping the standing wall portion in cooperation with the locking arm, said coupling wall portion is perpendiular to said bottom wall portion and said bottom portion
- wherein said first connecting member has partition walls forming a terminal receiving chamber and a locking arm so that terminal receiving chambers are formed in both the first and second connecting members, so that each of the first and second connecting members are housings and said first connecting member is additionally a cover for said second connecting member.
