確認することがある。 A conventional connector housing has a cantilever-shaped elastic piece integrally inside the cavity to hold the electrical connector housed therein, and the elastic piece is deflected by bending to hold the electrical connector. When the electrical connector is allowed to be inserted into the cavity and enters the proper position in the cavity, it returns to its original state and is caught by a protrusion or the like provided on the free end in a locking part such as a hole provided in the electrical connector. The elastic piece presses the electrical connector while bending during the insertion of the electrical connector. is held in the cavity, and the operator may mistakenly confirm that the electrical connector is in the correct position within the cavity.

フードが包嵌しないようにしたものである。 This causes "disconnection" and "poor contact" of electrical connectors when connecting male and female connectors. The purpose of the present invention is to solve the above problem by providing an electrical connector locking piece that deforms outward when the electrical connector is not completely inserted into the housing. This prevents the hood from getting wrapped up.

び形状が定められている。 Hereinafter, the connector according to the present invention will be explained in detail. FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the present invention. This connector consists of a housing body 1 and a housing hood 2 that fits around the housing body 1, and the housing body 1 has a housing chamber 5 (not shown) into which an electrical connector is inserted and accommodated from the rear (right side in the figure). There are a total of 4 electrical connector locking pieces 6 in the shape of a cantilever above each storage chamber 5, and a raised electric connector locking piece 6 near the tip of the electric connector locking piece 6. It has a structure in which the correct insertion position is locked by fitting the locking pawl 7 into a locking hole provided in an electrical connector (not shown). A locking protrusion 3 having a slope 3A on the front side is provided at a required position on the side surface of the housing body 1. On the other hand, housing hood 2
is a box with openings on the left and right front and rear surfaces as shown in the figure, and a frame surrounding the other four sides, and is formed in a shape that is inserted in the direction of the arrow in the figure and fits with the housing body 1 without any play, and wraps around the housing body 1. On both sides of the rear end 2' are provided stop strips 8 which are slightly raised inward. Further, a cantilever-shaped elastic locking piece 4 is formed on the side surface, and has a free end at the front edge 2'' and is isolated from the side wall surface by a slit 9. A locking hole 10 into which the locking protrusion 3 is fitted is bored near the end.When the housing hood 2 is fitted into the housing body 1, the locking strip 8 and the front edge of the housing body 1 are connected to each other. Their relative positions and shapes are determined so that the locking protrusion 3 fits into the locking hole 10 of the elastic locking piece 4 at the same time that the locking protrusion 1' comes into contact with the elastic locking piece 4.

る。 In the connector configured as described above, the electrical connector 12 is inserted into the accommodation chamber of the housing body 1 as shown in FIG. The insertion position is determined, and at the same time the locking claw 7 of the electrical connector locking piece 6
is fitted into the locking hole of the electrical connector 12, and is locked to prevent the electrical connector 12 from retreating. The housing hood 2 is fitted into the housing body 1 described above, and the stop strip 8 and the front edge 1' of the housing body 1 are brought into contact with each other to fix the position in the insertion direction. At that time, the elastic locking piece 4 is guided by the slope 3A of the locking protrusion 3 and deforms outward, and in the final position, the locking protrusion 3 is inserted into the locking hole 1.
0 and both are completely locked so that they do not move back. The connector fitted with the housing hood 2 can function without being hindered by the front opening of the housing hood 2 from being connected to other connectors (using the locking piece 20). Furthermore, even if an attempt is made to attach the housing hood 2 with the electrical connector 12 not fully inserted into the housing body 1, as shown in FIG.
Since the housing hood 2 is not attached, incomplete insertion of the electrical connector 12 can be prevented. That is, ● When the electrical connector is in a half-inserted state, the locking piece 6 protruding outward interferes with the housing hood 2, so that insufficient insertion of the electrical connector is caused by the sensation of insertion of the hood 2. It has a quick and accurate detection effect that can be detected by touch and visually confirmed.
● そして、電気接続子が一旦正常位置に係止さ
れると、包嵌したフード２によつて係止片６が
確実に押え込まれ、電気接続子の係止解離を生
ずる危険がない。- Once the electrical connector is locked in the normal position, the locking piece 6 is reliably pressed down by the hood 2, which eliminates the risk of the electrical connector becoming unlatched.
● さらに、フード２の包嵌構成によつて、ハウ

きる。 As described above, according to the present invention, when the electrical connector is not completely inserted into the housing, the electrical connector locking piece that deforms outward is provided to prevent the hood from fitting into the housing, thereby preventing insufficient insertion. In addition, when the electrical connector is fully inserted and the hood is wrapped in the housing, the hood prevents the electrical connector locking piece from deforming outward, preventing the electrical connector from being assembled as it is. It is possible to reliably prevent "falling out" of.
