Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a connector with which an electrical and/or electronic part such as a relay, resistor, fuse, integrated circuit or the like is connected and is, more particularly, designed to improve a construction of a portion thereof for locking the electrical and/or electronic part, and to a junction box provided therewith.
  • an electrical and/or electronic part such as a relay, resistor, fuse, integrated circuit or the like
  • This type of connector for relay is, as shown in FIG. 8, constructed such that a fitting recess 3 into which a relay 2 is fittable is provided in the upper surface of a housing 1 in which terminal fittings are accommodated, and locking pieces 4 each having a locking hook portion 5 at the leading end thereof are so provided on the circumferential wall of the fitting recess 3 as to project upward and as to be resiliently deformable.
  • the relay 2 When being fitted into the fitting recess 3 from above, the relay 2 is inserted thereinto while resiliently deforming the locking pieces 4 so as to cause them to escape outward.
  • the locking pieces 4 are restored and return to their original positions, whereby the locking hook portions 5 are engaged with the end edges of an upper surface 2A of the relay 2 to lock the relay 2 so as not to come out.
  • locking surfaces 5A of the locking hook portions 5 to be engaged with the upper surface 2A of the relay 2 are formed to horizontally extend in parallel to the upper surface 2A of the relay 2 when the locking pieces 4 are in a natural state.
  • the locking hook portions 5 are pressed, whereby the opposite locking pieces 4 are so resiliently deformed as to widen a spacing therebetween. Accordingly, as enlargedly shown at an upper part in FIG. 8, the locking surfaces 5A of the locking hook portions 5 are inclined upward toward the projecting ends of the locking portions 5 by an angle x, such that projecting end sides thereof are gradually disengaged from the upper surface 2A of the relay.
  • a locking force for locking the relay 2 becomes weaker, and if a force further acts in withdrawing direction, the locking hook portions 5 are disengaged while widening a spacing therebetween by being guided by the locking surfaces 5A inclined upward, with the result that the relay 2 may relatively easily come out of the fitting recess 2A.
  • the present invention was developed in view of the above indicated problem and an object thereof is to firmly lock an electrical and/or electronic part.
  • a connector formed with a fitting recess into which a terminal-provided electrical and/or electronic part such as a relay is at least partly fittable or insertable and used to establish a connection between at least one terminal fitting at least partly mounted therein and the terminal of the electrical and/or electronic part, at least one locking piece having a locking portion engageable with a locking surface or portion (e.g.
  • a locking surface of the locking portion to be engaged with the locking surface of the electrical and/or electronic part is so inclined as to define an angle to a direction substantially normal to the inserting direction of the electrical and/or electronic part into the fitting recess, wherein the angle is smaller than approximately 10°, more preferably smaller than approximately 5°, so that the locking surface of the locking portion gradually approaches the locking surface of the electrical and/or electronic part toward the projecting end thereof when the locking piece is in a natural state.
  • a connector formed with a fitting recess into which a terminal-provided electrical part such as a relay is fittable and used to establish a connection between a terminal fitting mounted therein and the terminal of the electrical part, a locking piece having a locking portion engageable with the rear surface of the electrical part with respect to its inserting direction being so provided at a wall surface of the fitting recess as to be resiliently deformable, wherein a locking surface of the locking portion to be engaged with the rear surface of the electrical part is so inclined as to gradually approach the rear surface of the electrical part toward the projecting end thereof when the locking piece is in a natural state.
  • the locking surface of the locking portion is so inclined as to gradually approach the rear surface of the electrical part toward its projecting end, even if a force acts on the electrical part in withdrawing direction to slightly open the locking piece and the locking portion, the locking surface is still held inclined to gradually approach the rear surface of the electrical part toward its projecting end or at worst held horizontal in parallel with the rear surface of the electrical part.
  • a force for locking the electrical part can continue to act, thereby effectively preventing the withdrawal of the electrical part
  • an insertion portion into which a jig for forcibly resiliently deforming the locking piece in unlocking direction is at least partly insertable is formed at the locking portion of the locking piece, preferably at the projecting end thereof.
  • the locked state is canceled by inserting the jig into the insertion portion of the locking portion and forcibly resiliently deforming the locking piece to such a position where it is disengaged from the electrical part. This makes it easier to resiliently deform the locking piece and further makes it easier to detach the electrical part.
  • an insertion opening which is open to the fitting recess, preferably to or in the back surface of the fitting recess, and through which a jig for lifting the electrical and/or electronic part is at least partly insertable is formed in a surrounding wall of the fitting recess.
  • the electrical and/or electronic part can be lifted or moved in a withdrawing direction in the fitting recess and withdrawn by thrusting the jig between the back surface of the fitting recess and the electrical part via the insertion opening and then twisting the jig.
  • the electrical and/or electronic part can be efficiently detached without being inadvertently damaging or scratching.
  • the insertion opening comprises a guiding surface for guiding the jig for lifting the electrical and/or electronic part towards the electrical and/or electronic part arranged in the fitting recess.
  • the locking piece comprises a guiding portion for coming into contact with the electric and/or electronic piece for guiding a deformation of the locking piece and/or an at least partial insertion of the electric and/or electronic piece into the fitting recess.
  • the locking piece is formed by providing one or more slits in a respective portion of a housing of the connector.
  • the locking surface is so inclined as to gradually approach the locking surface of the electrical and/or electronic part toward the projecting end thereof or held substantially in parallel to the locking surface of the electrical and/or electronic part, when the locking piece is in a state, where the locking piece is resiliently deformed in a deforming direction and/or where the locking portion is at least partly engaged with the locking surface of the electrical and/or electronic part.
  • the locking surface is so inclined as to define an angle to the locking surface of the electrical and/or electronic part wherein the angle is smaller than approximately 10°, more preferably smaller than approximately 5°.
  • a confirming window is provided for confirming the proper position of the electric and/or electronic part bin the fitting recess.
  • junction box for an automotive vehicle comprising a connector according to the invention or a preferred embodiment thereof.
  • a connector 20 for relay with which a relay 10 (as a preferred electric or electronic part) is connected or connectable is illustrated in this embodiment as shown in FIG. 1.
  • the relay 10 is provided with a main body 11 formed e.g. of a synthetic resin material preferably substantially into a short and rectangular column shape and one or more, preferably a plurality of tab-shaped relay terminals 12 (as preferred contact portions) project from the lower surface of the main body 11 by a specified (predetermined or predeterminable) arrangement.
  • a main body 11 formed e.g. of a synthetic resin material preferably substantially into a short and rectangular column shape and one or more, preferably a plurality of tab-shaped relay terminals 12 (as preferred contact portions) project from the lower surface of the main body 11 by a specified (predetermined or predeterminable) arrangement.

  • one or more female terminal fittings 26 connectable with the respective relay terminals 12 and connected or connectable with ends of wires 27 are at least partly accommodated in the corresponding cavities by being inserted thereinto preferably from below or from a side opposite to an insertion side of the relay 10.
  • the fitting recess 24 preferably has a depth substantially larger than the height of the main body 11 of the relay 10 by a specified (predetermined or predeterminable) distance and is formed with window holes or recesses 28 used to hold the relay 10 preferably by cutting upper portions of a pair of opposite side walls of four walls thereof.
  • One or more locking pieces 30 for locking the relay 10 so as not to come out are provided respectively at a side wall, preferably at another pair of opposite side walls of the fitting recess 24. As shown in FIG. 2, each locking piece 30 is formed into a cantilever shape by forming slits 34 at the opposite or lateral sides thereof.

  • a locking hook portion 31 is formed at the inner surface of the upper or distal end or end portion of each locking piece 30.
  • each locking hook portion 31 serves as a guiding surface 32 slanted such that the locking hook portion 31 is tapered toward its upper or distal end. In other words, the distance from the substantially opposite locking hook portions 31 becomes greater towards the distal ends thereof (or to a mating side with the relay 10).
  • the lower or inner surface of the locking hook portion 31 serves as a locking surface 33 arranged at an angle different from 0° or 180°, pref erably substantially normal to a fitting direction FD of the relay 10 into the connector 20 and substantially engageable with the outer edge of the upper surface 14 (as a preferred locking surface or portion) of the main body 11 of the relay 10.
  • this locking surface 33 preferably is inclined downward to its projecting end or the projecting end 31 PE of the locking hook portion 31, defining an angle X to a substantially horizontal surface H which is substantially in parallel to the upper surface 14 of the main body 11 of the relay 10 or to a direction substantially normal to the fitting direction FD.
  • the locking surface 33 preferably is so inclined as to hinder an upward movement of the upper surface 14 of the main body 11.
  • the angle X preferably is smaller than approximately 10°, more preferably smaller than approximately 5° (not including 0°).
  • this locking hook portion 31 has a portion, preferably a widthwise substantially middle portion, of its leading end cut away to form an insertion portion 35 into which the leading end of a jig J1 (see FIG. 5) for forcibly resiliently deforming the locking piece 30 in outward direction or in the deforming direction DD (unlocking direction) is at least partly insertable.
  • a confirming window 37 preferably having a lower edge substantially in flush with the bottom surface of the fitting recess 24, is formed at a lower position or portion of one of the side walls of the fitting recess 24 preferably where the locking pieces 30 are provided.

  • the respective outer edges of the lower or lateral surface of the main body 11 come substantially into contact with the corresponding guide surfaces 32 of the locking hook portions 31 of the locking pieces 30 to press them, whereby the relay 10 is pushed in while resiliently deforming the locking pieces 30 so as to cause them to escape outward or in the deformation direction.
  • the relay 10 when the relay 10 is pushed in substantially to a proper position where the main body 11 comes substantially into contact with the bottom surface or back end of the fitting recess 24, the upper surface 14 (or rear surface as seen in the fitting direction FD) of the main body 11 slips under the locking hook portions 31.

  • the relay terminals 12 at least partly enter the corresponding cavities to be connected with the female terminal fittings 26 at least partly accommodated therein.
  • a force may be exerted on the relay 10 upward in unlocking direction (direction substantially opposite to the fitting direction) as indicated by an arrow in FIG. 6.
  • the locking hook portions 31 are pressed, whereby the opposite locking pieces 30 are resiliently deformed so as to widen a spacing therebetween.
