The socket side binding members 140 and 330 prevent the socket side terminals 22 and 32 from being separated from the inside of the connector socket 100. Therefore, in the case where the sliding phenomenon of the terminal assembled by the external force occurs, the force is first transmitted to the socket-side fastening members 140, 330. Therefore, even if an external force in a direction of separating the socket-side cables 20 and 30 acts, the socket-side terminals 22 and 32 before the binding members 140 and 330 are broken or broken. ) Can be prevented from being separated from the plug side terminals 42 and 52.

Meanwhile, as shown in FIG. 8, a first socket-side engaging hole 22c may be formed in the first socket-side terminal 22. The first socket-side locking hole 22c may be coupled to the first socket-side locking protrusion 116 formed inside the first socket-side terminal accommodating part 110. Through such a structure, the first socket-side terminal 22 may be coupled to the first socket-side terminal accommodating part 110. The first socket-side locking hole 22c and the first socket-side locking protrusion 116 may be referred to as a 'socket-side primary locking member'. In this case, the socket-side binding members 140 and 330 may be referred to as 'socket-side secondary locking members'. Similarly, the second socket-side terminal 32 and the second socket-side terminal accommodating part 120 may be provided with a second socket-side locking hole and a second socket-side locking protrusion, respectively. In addition, the plug-side terminals 42 and 52 and the plug-side accommodating portion 210 and 220 may be provided with plug-side locking holes and plug-side locking protrusions, respectively. Detailed description thereof will be omitted.

On the other hand, it is difficult to find out from the outside whether the terminals 22, 32, 42, 52 are separated from the inside of the connector assembly 10. However, whether the binding members 140 and 330 are separated or damaged can be easily recognized from the outside, and according to the present invention, it is easy to identify the connector assembly 10 having the possibility of disconnection.

The socket side position assurance member 300 may further include a reinforcing rib 340 protruding to the rear of the support 310.

The reinforcing rib 340 may have a shape in which the thickness thereof increases toward the center side. For example, the reinforcing rib 340 may have a half moon shape. The reinforcing rib 340 may overlap the first socket-side terminal accommodating part 110 and the second socket-side terminal accommodating part 120 in the front-rear direction. According to the reinforcing rib 340, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of cracks in the support 310 during the assembly and separation of the position guarantee member 300.

On the other hand, the position assurance member 300 may be formed in an injection method. In this case, due to the shape difference between the pressing parts 312, 314, 322 in the injection process, the thickness or density difference of the injection material may occur, which may cause a weakening of the strength of the injection molding. According to the reinforcing rib 340, this effect can be reduced.

The above description of the socket-side position assurance member 300 may be equally applicable to the plug-side position assurance member 400 unless otherwise stated. However, the plug side position assurance member 400, the object to be coupled is different from the connector plug 200. If the shapes of the ends 115 and 125 of the connector socket 100 and the ends 215 and 225 of the connector plug 200 are symmetrical, the size of the plug-side position assurance member 400 and The shape may be the same as the size and shape of the socket-side position assurance member 300. Detailed description of the plug-side position guarantee member 400 will be omitted.

According to the present invention, since two or more types of cables conventionally standardized can be assembled using one connector, the cables can be smoothly coupled and separated. In addition, as the number of parts is reduced, the efficiency of the installation space can be increased, and the manufacturing cost of the connector assembly can be reduced. In addition, by using the position assurance member provided at both ends of the connector assembly, by pressing the terminal provided on one side of the cable, it is possible to accurately combine the respective cables. In addition, by using the fixing member located on one side of the position assurance member, it is possible to prevent the risk of disconnection of the cable to double. Further, by arranging the engagement positions of some terminals differently from the engagement positions of the other terminals, the force required for the engagement of the cables can be lowered, thereby improving workability.

The present invention has been described above with reference to preferred embodiments thereof, which are merely examples and are not intended to limit the present invention. Those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains do not depart from the essential characteristics of the present invention. It will be appreciated that various modifications and applications are not possible that are not illustrated above. For example, each component shown in detail in the embodiment of the present invention may be modified. And differences relating to such modifications and applications will have to be construed as being included in the scope of the invention defined in the appended claims.
