Definitions

  • Figure 1 shows a longitudinal section of an electric connector in accordance with the present invention
  • Figure 2 shows a larger-scale front view of the Figure 1 electric connector
  • Each terminal 7 is inserted inside respective cavity 6 through respective opening 27 and in an insertion direction parallel to respective axis B, so that respective contact portion 31 projects axially from cavity 6 through respective opening 28.
  • Each cavity 6 has a known retaining tooth 32 carried by one of walls 13, 26 laterally defining cavity 6, and which snaps onto the connection portion 30 of respective terminal 7 to retain the terminal one-way inside cavity 6 and prevent withdrawal of the terminal though opening 27.
  • connector 1 also comprises a retaining lever 35 and a tooth 36, which are carried respectively by opposite walls 11, 12 of casing 3, and respectively snap onto an identical tooth 36 and an identical retaining lever 35 carried by identical complementary connector 1'.
  • connecting means 34 comprise a beam element 38, which is fitted integrally at opposite ends to respective lateral edges, parallel to direction A, of wall 11, and is fitted integrally with and extends crosswise to retaining lever 35, which is activated manually to release teeth 36 and 37 and so release connectors 1 and 1'.
  • Tooth 37 has a substantially right-triangular profile, and is defined, towards beam element 38, by a surface 41 substantially perpendicular to direction A, and, on the opposite side, by a surface 42 sloping with respect to direction A.
  • tooth 36 has a substantially right-triangular profile, and is defined, towards electric cables 8, by a surface 43 substantially perpendicular to direction A, and, on the opposite side, by a surface 44 sloping with respect to direction A. Tooth 36 also comprises an intermediate longitudinal groove 45.
  • Beam element 38 has an arc-shaped longitudinal section with the concavity facing wall 11 of casing 3, and decreases in width from the opposite ends towards a central portion connected to retaining lever 35.
  • beam element 38 being highly rigid structurally, is capable of withstanding permanent deformation, and therefore practically unbreakable, as a result of repeated connection and release of connector 1, or in the event of severe accidental pressure on retaining lever 35, as when handling connector 1 during production and assembly.
