Definitions

  • the present invention relates to electric connectors. More particularly the present invention relates to plug-type connectors which are arranged to be fitted in a counterpart socket and to be locked by a locking mechanism.
  • Japanese Patent Publication (unexamined) No. 2006-19297 discloses a plug-type connector comprising a housing having connecting parts and locking means, a housing cover, and a partial cover having two locking tongue pieces with a locking protrusion formed at the end thereof, respectively.
  • Said locking means and said locking protrusions together with curved parts of said housing, mechanically lock said plug-type connector, which is being inserted into the socket, in said socket.
  • said locking tongue pieces engage said locking protrusions with annular groove provided in the inner walls of said socket, and said curved parts serve as the engaging parts for said locking tongue pieces.
  • Said housing cover is provided with a concaved part for introducing a tool (such as a screw driver) for unlocking the lock of the partial cover.
  • the plug-type connector of Japanese Patent Publication (unexamined) No. 2006-19297 When the plug-type connector of Japanese Patent Publication (unexamined) No. 2006-19297 is to be inserted into said socket, a pressing force is applied to said partial cover to push the plug-type connector into the socket.
  • the partial cover has a plate-like form which is so structured that its one face serves as a pressing face and two locking tongue pieces extend substantially parallel to each other from the other face, warpage of the plate-like part and flexion of the locking tongue pieces change depending on which part of the plate-like member is pressed.
  • EP 1184232 discloses a cylindrical socket onto which a shunt fits.
  • the shunt comprises annular walls and pins, where the pins achieve an electrical connection when the shunt is fitted onto the socket.
  • DE 19704991 discloses an electrical connector which is lockable via the use of a latch which can be resiliently biased onto a locked state.
  • the present invention was made in view of such points, and is intended to provide a plug connector assembly wherein a housing is provided with leg parts having a hooking part for fitting into an annular groove of a socket, and movements of said leg parts are controlled by a control member which is to be pressed towards said socket, thereby a load for engaging the hooking parts of the leg parts with the annular groove of said socket, in other words, an inserting force for engaging said hooking parts with said annular groove is obtained reliably whatever part of the pressing face of the control member may be pressed, thus the operability is enhanced.
  • a plug connector assembly comprising:
  • the plug connector When electric terminals are received in the first receiving chambers and the second receiving chambers of the plug connector assembly, the plug connector is completed. Then, to insert this plug connector into the socket wherein the annular groove is provided in the circumferential wall of its inner walls, a pressing force is applied to the pressing face of the operating member of said control member and said plug connector is pushed into said socket in the height direction.
  • each of said hooking parts is pressed by the circumferential wall of the inner walls of said socket towards said central plug part, and each of said top-end inner-side parts is so guided by each of said guiding faces that each hooking part is displaced to close towards said central plug part, and in turn said central plug part is inserted into the socket, then each of said hocking parts displaces due to restoring force in a direction of moving away from said central plug part and fits into the annular groove of said socket, and this completes locking of said plug connector in the socket.
  • each of said hooking parts is pulled towards the fitting side, however, as each of said top-end inner-side parts is held by each of said guiding faces and each hooking part is prevented from being displaced towards said central plug part, thus said plug connector is prevented from being pulled out of the socket.
  • each of said guiding members will enter the sheltering part of each of said leg parts, thus when said plug connector is pulled from the socket towards the non-fitting side, each of said hooking parts will be pushed by the circumferential wall of the inner walls of said socket towards said central plug part and come off from said annular groove to undo the locking, and in turn said plug connector will be withdrawn from said socket.
  • two locking tongue pieces extend from the plate-like partial cover
  • a plurality of leg parts extend from the body of the housing, and the body constitutes a three-dimensional structure surrounding the first receiving chambers and has a higher rigidity than that of said plate-like partial cover.
