Releasing effect chimb 35c is in the time taking out terminal metal piece 1 from terminal cavities 31, and pushing and pressing aftermentioned fixture (tool) 40 be so that housing lance shape thing 35 upwards, thereby removes the engagement state of the terminal metal piece 1 of being undertaken by housing lance shape thing 35.
[process of inserting, choosing]
Below, with reference to Fig. 2 and Fig. 3, the order of terminal metal piece 1 being inserted to connector shell 30 is described, in addition, the order that the terminal metal piece 1 that is held in connector shell 30 is chosen is described with reference to Fig. 2~Fig. 6.
[process of insertion]
As shown in Fig. 2 (a), terminal metal piece 1 is inserted to the terminal cavities 31 of connector shell 30. In this stage, terminal metal piece 1 is in A-stage, and the locking protrusion 12a of internal wiring end 10 is inserted in the stop hole 22a of shell 20, and the retainer 24a of shell 20 is positioned at the front of the mobile restriction hole 14a of internal wiring end 10. Thus, shell 20 moves to protective position.
If push terminal metal piece 1 towards the depths of terminal cavities 31, the front end of shell 20 is connected to the rear end side of the locking protrusion 35a of housing lance shape thing 35, if further push terminal metal piece 1,, as shown in Fig. 2 (b), above pushes away housing lance shape thing 35. Therefore the elastic force that, housing lance shape thing 35 is saved down.
If further push terminal metal piece 1, the locking protrusion 35a of housing lance shape thing 35, successively by the upper wall between stop hole 22a and stop hole 22a and the stop hole 22b of shell 20, arrives stop hole 22b, and contacts the locking protrusion 12a of internal wiring end 10. So as shown in Fig. 2 (c), locking protrusion 35a pushes locking protrusion 12a down because of the elastic force of housing lance shape thing 35, thereby remove the engagement state of the stop hole 22b based on shell 20. Now, the spring 12 of the support locking protrusion 12a of internal wiring end 10 is saved elastic force upward.
If further push terminal metal piece 1, the engagement status releasing of the stop hole 22a based on shell 20, and the locking protrusion 35a of housing lance shape thing 35 is inserted in the stop hole 22a of shell 20, thereby internal wiring end 10 can relatively move with shell 20. But, about shell 20, because the locking protrusion 35a of housing lance shape thing 35 is inserted in stop hole 22a, suffer restraints therefore mobile. Thereby if further push internal wiring end 10,, as shown in Fig. 3 (a), only internal wiring end 10 moves to the position of the stop hole 22b of the locking protrusion 12a arrival shell 20 of spring 12. Now, the retainer 24a of shell 20 is positioned at the rear end of the mobile restriction hole 14a of internal wiring end 10. Now, shell 20 is placed in retreating position, and contact 13 moves to the outside of shell 20 and becomes exposed state.
If further push terminal metal piece 1, the rear end of the mobile restriction hole 14a of the retainer 24a of shell 20 contact internal wiring end 10, therefore as shown in Fig. 3 (b), internal wiring end 10 moves to the depths of terminal cavities 31 together with shell 20, until butt omits illustrated location retainer. On the other hand, about housing lance shape thing 35, elasticity returns to compared with the terminal body 11 of its locking surface 35d and terminal metal piece 1 in the wings, and the position of interfering in y direction with terminal body 11. Thereby terminal metal piece 1 is positioned in the inside of terminal cavities 31, and be maintained in the mode that can surprisingly not deviate from.
If terminal metal piece 1 is pushed into depths,, as shown in Fig. 3 (b), contact 13 is exposed to outside connector shell 30. For example as shown in Figure 6, if connector shell 30 is configured obliquely with respect to circuit substrate 50, can make this contact 13 contact with the conductive pattern 51 of circuit substrate 50. But this is only the example being suitable for of terminal metal piece 1.
[process of choosing]
Then, with reference to Fig. 4 and Fig. 5, the process when terminal metal piece 1 of choosing kept from connector shell 30 is described. At the bar-shaped fixture 40 of the middle use of choosing. Shell 20 is placed in retreating position.
In the time choosing terminal metal piece 1, first, as shown in Fig. 4 (a), (b), the releasing of fixture 40 inserted terminals bodies 11 and housing lance shape thing 35 is used between chimb 35c, and on push away to remove and use chimb 35c, thereby the locking surface 35d of releasing housing lance shape thing 35 and the interference state of the terminal body 11 of terminal metal piece 1 in y direction. If in the case of having removed the interference state of locking surface 35d and terminal body 11, pull the wire W at leisure towards the rear,, as shown in Fig. 4 (c), the locking protrusion 35a of housing lance shape thing 35 contacts the upper wall 22 of shell 20 on one side, moves on one side towards front.
If pull on electric wire W, as shown in Fig. 5 (a), locking protrusion 35a inserts the stop hole 22a of upper wall 22, thereby the movement of shell 20 suffers restraints because of locking protrusion 35a. Thereby if further pull the wire W, only internal wiring end 10 together moves towards the rear with electric wire W. As shown in Fig. 5 (b), the locking protrusion 12a of internal wiring end 10, after stop hole 22b deviates from, arrives stop hole 22a. So locking protrusion 12a pushes away locking protrusion 35a on a little. In addition, now, the retainer 24a of shell 20 is positioned at the front of the mobile restriction hole 14a of internal wiring end 10. Thus, shell 20 is back to protective position.
Top end face (locking protrusion) 35a is so-called along cone (Cis テ ー パ with respect to the edge of stop hole 22a and stop hole 22b front side separately). Thereby if from the further pull the wire W of state of Fig. 5 (b), locking protrusion 35a can easily deviate from successively from stop hole 22a and stop hole 22b, thereby remove the engagement of the shell 20 being undertaken by housing lance shape thing 35. And, because retainer 24a is connected to the front end of mobile restriction hole 14a, therefore as shown in Fig. 5 (c), terminal metal piece 1 by housing lance shape thing 35 with becoming one. Thus, from terminal cavities 31 terminal metal piece 1 of choosing.
[effect]
According to terminal metal piece 1 described above, realize following effect.
Terminal metal piece 1 at least covered contact 13 by shell 20 before the terminal cavities 31 of inserting connector shell 30, thereby comprised the operation that connects electric wire W interior, can not apply unnecessary external force to contact 13, thereby can protect contact 13 indeformable.
Terminal metal piece 1 covers contact 13 by the shell 20 that is placed in protective position between inserted terminals chamber 31, but being inserted in the process of terminal cavities 31 depths, can make shell 20 move to retreating position to expose contact 13. In addition, in the process that the terminal metal piece 1 that is held in terminal cavities 31 is chosen, can make shell 20 move to the protective position that covers contact 13. So, according to present embodiment, without operating especially, just can carry out the protection based on shell 20 of contact 13 and keeping out of the way of shell 20, thereby the outstanding terminal metal piece of operability 1 is provided.
Then, terminal metal piece 1 can be had under the state that the shell 20 of smooth contour covers and be inserted connector shell 30 at the contact 13 with fluctuating. Thereby, the waterproof seal that is called serial seal (familyseal) (or total rubber bolt (draws together go system bolt)) can be located to a side of the inserted terminals metalwork 1 of connector shell 30, thereby can improve the water proofing property of card edge connector.
On the other hand, in the case of the exposed terminal metal piece of contact 13, even if contact 13 is inserted in the electric wire insertion through hole that serial seal forms by wish, contact 13 also can be out of shape, thereby can not use serial seal.
Above, the preferred embodiment of the present invention is described, but, only otherwise depart from purport of the present invention, can accept or reject selection to the formation of enumerating in the above-described embodiment, or suitably change to other formations.
For example, as long as the connector shell 30 of storage terminal metal piece 1 possesses the energy supply that makes shell 20 move back and forth required housing lance shape thing between protective position and retreating position, pay no attention to its form.
In addition, the form of internal wiring end 10 and shell 20 is an example after all, as long as can move back and forth to protect contact between protective position and retreating position, and it is exposed, and does not hinder and adopts other forms.
