  • the retainer insertion opening of the tubular portion is open and a mating connector housing is inserted into an insertion space defined between the tubular portion and the terminal accommodating portion through the inside of the retainer insertion opening, whereby the two connector housings are properly connected.
  • the present invention was developed in view of the above situation, and an object thereof is to improve quality and operability by smoothly carrying out an operation of connecting two connectors.
  • a connector comprising:
  • a connecting operation of the two connectors can be started while the mating connector housing is inserted into the insertion space between the tubular portion and the terminal accommodating portion.

  • the retainer 60 is pushed or displaced to reach the full locking position 2P (second position).
  • the male connector housing 80 and the female connector housing 10 are relatively brought closer to each other along the inserting direction ID (arrow shown in FIG. 1).

  • the receptacle 81 is at least partly inserted into the insertion space A between the tubular portion 21 and the terminal accommodating portion 11 from front and passes the opening edge of the insertion opening 22 of the tubular portion 21 without being interfered. Thereafter, if the lever 40 is operated (preferably rotated or pivoted) towards or to the rotation ending position (operation ending position) as shown in FIG. 2, the leading end of the receptacle 81 reaches a position where it can come into contact with the coupling portion 61, whereby the two connector housings 10, 80 are connected to a proper depth and, simultaneously, the female and male terminal fittings 30, 70 are electrically connected at proper depths.
  • the leading end of the receptacle 81 at least partly enters the insertion space A, but might come into contact with the opening edge of the insertion opening 22 of the tubular portion 21, i.e. the pair of lateral (left and right) opening edges 28, 29 during the insertion. If the connecting operation proceeds in this contact state, the leading end of the receptacle 81 moves in sliding contact from the lateral opening edges 28 to the guiding edges 29 and moves further backward substantially along the guiding edges 29.
  • the inserting posture of the receptacle 81 is corrected little by little in such a direction that the leading end of the receptacle 81 substantially faces the insertion space A (direction of an arrow shown in FIG. 3) as the connecting operation proceeds since the guiding edges 29 are formed to gradually shorten the spacing therebetween (or to converge) toward the back side.
  • the leading end of the receptacle 81 reaches the proper connecting position while passing the opening edge of the insertion opening 22, particularly the rear opening edge 27B without being interfered.
  • the connecting operation of the two connector housings 10, 80 smoothly proceeds without being stopped halfway, thus improving overall operability of the connector assembly.
  • this embodiment has the following effects.
  • the pair of lateral (left and right) opening edges 28, 29 of the insertion opening 22 of the tubular portion 21 are formed in the arcuate or bent or curved portions 25 substantially in the form of curved surfaces and include the guiding edges 29 extending in the directions oblique to the inserting direction ID of the male connector housing 80 and formed to narrow the spacing therebetween toward the back side.
  • the connecting operation of the two connector housings 10, 80 smoothly proceeds particularly without being stopped halfway, with the result that operability can be improved and an undesirable situation such as the breakage of the male terminal fittings 70 can be prevented.
  • the connecting operation might be forcibly carried out as the lever 40 is operated without the interfering state of the male connector housing 80 and the opening edge of the insertion opening 22 of the tubular portion 21 being noticed, which might lead to a breakage. Therefore, the meaning of being able to guide the two connector housings 10, 80 to the properly connected state by such guiding edges 29 is significant.
  • the leading end of the male connector housing 80 (leading end of the receptacle 81) can move from the front end sides toward the rear end sides of the guiding edges 29 while being held substantially in sliding contact with the guiding edges 29, wherefore the connecting postures of the two connector housings 10, 80 can be reliably corrected to proper ones.
  • a female connector F is provided with a terminal accommodating portion 11, a tubular portion 21 at least partly, preferably substantially fully surrounding the terminal accommodating portion 11 and defining an insertion space A for a male connector housing 80 to the terminal accommodating portion 11, and preferably a retainer 60 for retaining one or more female terminal fittings 30 by being at least partly mounted into the terminal accommodating portion 11 and at least partly entering cavities 12.
  • the tubular portion 21 is formed with an insertion opening 22 for the retainer 60, and the four corner portions of the tubular portion 21 serve as curved or arcuate portions 25 substantially in the form of curved surfaces.
  • One or more guiding edges 29 arranged in areas including the curved or arcuate portions 25, oblique to an inserting direction ID of the male connector housing 80 and formed to narrow spacing therebetween toward the front side in the inserting direction ID are formed at the (preferably substantially opposite) opening edge(s) of the insertion opening 22 of the tubular portion 21.
