おいて、６はロック用のレバーである。There is no problem even if the number of stages is one. Moreover, the electric wires connected to the connection terminals 2 and 4 are omitted from illustration. The receiving connection terminal 2 is formed by punching and bending a conductive metal plate.
The connection part for the mating insertion connection terminal 4, which is formed in the same way, is approximately box-shaped, with the bottom part 2a extending forward and then folded back into the connection part, the movable contact piece 2b, and the bottom part 2a being bent from the side to the top. A ceiling portion 2C is formed. The receiving connector 2 has a flexible connector 1F piece 1 inside the first housing 1.
a, the movable contact piece 2b is normally raised to the ceiling 2C side of the connection part, and the insertion part 4a of the insertion terminal 4 is received between the ceiling part 2C and the spring of the movable contact piece 2b. The insertion portion 4a is brought into pressure contact with the force. The free end 2d of this movable contact piece 2b is oriented in an oblique direction, and a curved locking part 2e is provided at the tip thereof, and the locking part 11 is rotatably attached to a part 2e of the first housing 1. A braking member 5 having a comb-shaped portion is engaged. This receiving connection terminal 2 is built-in [7
The housing 1 is inserted and fitted into the second housing 3, but at that time, the second housing 3 is inserted into the second housing 3 by fitting into the groove 1b formed in the first housing 1. A rib-shaped release part 3a is formed, and this release part 3
When the housings 1 and 3 are fitted together, the brake member 5 is rotated to its original state. In addition, in FIG. 1, 6 is a lever for locking.
