JP 2006-344524 A (pages 6 to 10, FIGS. 1 to 5)

  As described above, for example, the insulating housing provided in the plug connector to which a plurality of cables are connected is inserted into the fitting recess provided in the receptacle-side insulating housing provided in the receptacle connector that is electrically connected to the solid wiring board. In the plug connector and the receptacle connector that have been proposed in the past, the insulating housing provided in the plug connector is an arrangement direction of the plurality of receptacle-side conductive contacts in the fitting recess forming portion of the receptacle-side insulating housing. In a direction perpendicular to the fitting recess, it is often placed in a state of being inclined with respect to the fitting recess provided in the receptacle-side insulating housing and inserted into the fitting recess. For example, the insulating housing provided in the plug connector has a side surface portion in which a plurality of conductive contacts that are contact-connected to the plurality of receptacle-side conductive contacts are arranged and exposed with respect to the fitting recess provided in the receptacle-side insulating housing. In the inclined state, the separation distance from the fitting recess of the forming portion is larger than the separation distance from the other side surface forming portion from which the plurality of cables facing the side surface forming portion are led out. A situation of being inserted into the joint recess is likely to occur.

  The occurrence of a situation in which the insulating housing provided in such a plug connector is inclined with respect to the fitting recess provided in the receptacle-side insulating housing is caused by the plug connector having a plurality of cables connected to the insulating housing provided on the receptacle side. One of the reasons is that a plurality of cables connected to the plug connector can be accommodated in the notches formed in the receptacle-side insulating housing when being inserted into the fitting recess provided in the insulating housing. I am doing. That is, when inserting a plug connector to which a plurality of cables are connected and a fitting recess provided on the receptacle-side insulating housing by the insulating housing provided therein, first, the plurality of cables connected to the plug connector are connected to the receptacle side. The insulation housing provided in the plug connector that is housed in the notch formed in the insulation housing and then inclined with respect to the fitting recess is inserted into the fitting recess provided in the receptacle-side insulating housing.

  As described above, the insulating housing included in the plug connector is fitted to the fitting recess provided in the receptacle-side insulating housing in a direction orthogonal to the arrangement direction of the plurality of receptacle-side conductive contacts in the fitting recess-forming portion of the receptacle-side insulating housing. When the plug is inserted into the fitting recess in an inclined state, for example, the side surface forming portion where the plurality of conductive contacts in the insulating housing provided in the plug connector is exposed is exposed to the plurality of receptacle-side conductive contacts in the receptacle-side insulating housing. The sliding with the fitting recessed part formation part which produces is produced. When such sliding occurs, this causes wear or deformation of the side surface forming portion where the plurality of conductive contacts in the insulating housing provided in the plug connector are arranged and exposed.

  Further, the wear or deformation of the side surface portion forming portion exposed by arranging and arranging the plurality of conductive contacts in the insulating housing included in the plug connector is a side surface portion exposed by arranging and arranging the plurality of conductive contacts in the insulating housing included in the plug connector. The formed portion is displaced from an appropriate position with respect to the fitting recess forming portion where the plurality of receptacle-side conductive contacts in the receptacle-side insulating housing are exposed, and as a result, the conductive contact in the plug connector is connected to the receptacle-side conductive contact, There is a possibility that the receptacle-side conductive contact may be crushed or buckled by pressing in the insertion direction of the receptacle-side insulation housing of the insulation housing included in the plug connector. That is, the positional displacement of the side surface forming portion caused by abrasion or deformation of the side surface forming portion exposed by arranging and arranging the plurality of conductive contacts in the insulating housing provided in the plug connector is an undesired pushing of the receptacle side conductive contact. There is a risk of causing inconvenience of causing crushing or buckling.
