At first, with reference to Fig. 4, plug connector 10 be in one with female type connector 100 on groove 104 corresponding positions, simultaneously bend 30 faces female type connector 100.If plug connector 10 is pressed downward in the groove 104 from this state, the sidewall 4 of plug connector 10 will be moved along the inwall 110 of groove 104 so, thereby makes plug connector 10 be placed in the groove 104.Kayser projection 5 on the plug connector 10 cooperates with the kayser projection 146 (lock part) on the groove 104, and makes that thus described connector is interfixed.Cooperate with 146 by kayser projection 5, can prevent that plug connector 10 from getting loose from female type connector 100, apply one and tear power even locate guiding line W in the derivative end of lead W.
Next, as shown in Figure 5, when plug connector 10 and female type connector 100 are cooperated fully, tongue piece 46 on the plug connector 10 can enter in the grooving 114 on the female type connector 100, and the upper surface 106 of the lower surface 14 of plug connector 10 and female type connector 100 coplane that can become.Thus, the cooperation fully of described connector can be confirmed by range estimation.
Under plug connector was pressed into situation in the female type connector 100 with being reversed, tongue piece 46 can dock with grooving 114 in the starting stage of compounding practice, and plug connector 10 can't be pressed further in the female type connector 100.Meanwhile, plug connector 10 is in this state, i.e. its projection from female type connector 100 is come out, and estimates affirmation thereby help mistake cooperated.In addition, tongue piece 46 is as a lever, this lever can be pointed or similar tool grips, and in order to when needs are removed plug connector 10 from female type connector 100, upwards spurs plug connector 10 when lead W is also upwards spurred.
Next, with reference to Fig. 6 the mated condition between the contact 11 and 132 in connector 10 and process that 100 cooperate fully is described.Along with plug connector 10 cooperates mutually with female type connector 100, the flange 42 on the contact 11 passes the extension 140a of contact 132, and cooperates with this extension 140a.Thus, contact 11 with 132 by being electrically connected mutually, meanwhile, prevented to be separated from each other the phenomenon of extracting on the direction at them.That is to say that extension 140a and flange 42 are also with the lock part that acts on connector 10 and 100.
The part that electrically contacts on the contact 11 and 132 all is positioned at the inside of device 1, has prevented that touching these from the outside electrically contacts part.Except two contact elements 140 were set on each contact 11, this can improve the reliability of electrical connection.In addition and since flange 42 and extension 140a in opposite directions projection come out, so when they intersect mutually, can perceive " card clatter " sound.Also can utilize this " card clatter " sound to be discerned cooperating fully between the connector 10 and 100.
If upwards tear the lead W that from plug connector 10, draws from the position shown in Fig. 5, so owing to contact 11 and 132 is locked mutually, and cooperate between the kayser flange 5 and 146, separate with female type connector 100 so prevented plug connector 10.Owing to compare with the contact portion on 132 with contact 11, kayser projection 5 and 146 is oriented to more close wire termination of drawing from plug connector 10, so lock function is effective especially.
In addition, when lead W is upwards torn, utilize the diapire 26 of the housing 2 of plug connector 10, prevented that lead W from moving upward, and can not cause any damage housing 2.When lead W was torn downwards, although active force is applied on the bend 30, this active force can be received by the diapire 112 of the housing 102 of female type connector 100, and bend 30 will can not be subjected to any damage.
Described a preferred embodiment in front in detail, but the present invention is not limited to aforesaid embodiment.Under the condition that does not break away from the protection range of stating the back of the present invention, can carry out multiple changes and improvements.For example, the contact of plug connector 10 can be the crimping contact.
