Connector

A connector fittable into a mount hole of a panel, the connector comprising first and second housings connected with each other, a lever pivotally mounted on the first housing and being formed with a cam groove, a cam follower being provided on the second housing and being engaged with the cam groove, connection of the housings being assisted by moving the lever while the cam follower is engaged with the cam groove, a movable detector formed on the lever and being in the standby position when the lever is moved to a position for properly connecting the first and second housings, the movable detector being configured to avoid interference with an edge of the mount hole when the movable detector is in the standby position, a pusher which projects from an outer surface of the first housing and has a substantially arcuate shape extending along a trace of rotation of the movable detector, the pusher being configured for pushing the movable detector into an interfering position when the lever is at a partial connection position corresponding to incomplete connection of the first and second housings, the movable detector being configured to interfere with an edge of the mount hole when the housings are connected partly.

A connector fittable into a mount hole of a panel, the mount hole defining a selected cross section, the connector comprising first and second housings connectable with each other, the housings comprising at least one movable detector located at a standby position when the housings are connected properly, the movable detector being displaced to an interfering position when the two housings are connected partially, such that a cross section of the connector taken through the movable detector is smaller than the cross section of the mount hole when the movable detector is at the standby position so that the housings are insertable through the mount hole of the panel when the housings are connected properly, and such that a cross section of the connector taken through the movable detector is larger than the cross section of the mount hole in at least one direction when the movable detector is at the interfering position so that the housings cannot pass through the mount hole of the panel when the housings are connected partial .

A connector comprising first and second housings connectable with each other, a cam follower being formed on the second housing, a lever movably mounted on the first housing and being formed with a cam groove configured and disposed to engage the cam follower, such that movement of the lever causes the cam groove and the cam follower to move the housings into connection with one another, at least one movable detector formed on the lever and having an unbiased position where the movable detector is substantially flush with portions of the lever adjacent the movable detector, a pusher formed on portions of the first housing adjacent the lever, the pusher being dimensioned and disposed to deflect the movable detector resiliently from adjacent portions of the lever when the lever is moved from the standby position, the pusher being disposed to push the movable detector away from adjacent portions of the lever when the first and second housings are only partly connected with one another, and being configured for permitting the movable detector to move into the unbiased position substantially flush with portions of the lever adjacent the movable detector when the first and second housings are connected properly, such that the movable detector defines a larger cross section when the housings are connected only partly.
