Description

Connector and connector assembly {Connector and connector assembly having the same}

The present invention relates to connectors and connector assemblies.

A connector is made by installing one or more terminals of conductive material in a housing of insulating material. The connector may form one assembly by being combined with the counterpart connector, and may perform electrical connection. To make an electrical connection between connectors, the terminals must be coupled to each other.

When the coupling force between the connectors is large, coupling and separation between the connectors may be performed using a lever. Such a lever includes a rotary lever using the principle of leverage and a slide-type lever that performs linear reciprocating motion.

In general, connectors use a lot of rotational levers. Since rotational levers require a space for rotation, there is a problem in that a relatively large amount of space is required for a connector assembly.

In addition, the rotary lever is configured so that the mounting plates on both sides rotate based on the central axis of rotation on each side of the connector housing on one side, and one interlocking boss is guided to each mounting plate, the interlocking boss and the mounting plate Alternatively, there is a problem in that the risk of breakage is high while a large force is applied to the rotation center axis.

In addition, in the connector assembly, a fastening retainer may be used to maintain the fastening state between the connectors, and the fastening retainer may be operated by an unexpected external force before coupling the connectors together. In this case, there is a problem in that the coupling of the connector assembly becomes cumbersome because the operator has to perform the coupling between the connectors after moving the fastening holder to its original state.

First, the state of FIG. 8 is a state in which the connector 10 can be coupled with the counterpart connector 60 . The slide lever 30 is in a relatively retracted state and is in a pre-lock state. The pre-lock protrusion 37 of the pre-lock arm 36 is hung on one side of the guide channel 20 of the housing 12 . In this state, even if an unexpected external force acts on the slide lever 30, the slide lever 30 does not move relative to the housing 12.

And, in the state of FIG. 8 , the inlet of the guide channel 20 of the housing 12 and the inlet of the interlocking channel 34 of the slide lever 30 may coincide with each other. The fastening rib 57 of the fastening holder 50 is not inserted into the rib channel 42 . The fastening rib 57 may be positioned at the entrance of the moving part 43 of the rib channel 42 .

As shown in FIG. 9 to couple the mating connector 60 to the connector 10, when the front end of the mating housing 62 of the mating connector 60 is inserted into the inner space 14, the interlocking protrusion 64 ) may be located at the entrance of the interlocking channel 34 of the slide lever 30 and the guide channel 20 of the housing 12.

In this state, when the mating connector 60 is moved inside the guide channel 20, the pre-lock protrusion 37 is separated from the guide channel 20 by the interlocking protrusion 64, and the slide lever 30 ) can become a movable state.

When the slide lever 30 is moved in the direction of arrow A shown in FIG. 9, the interlocking protrusion 64 of the mating connector 60 moves along the interlocking channel of the slide lever 30 ( 34), as the distance between the connector 10 and the mating connector 60 decreases, they can be coupled to each other.

In the state shown in FIG. 10 , the slide lever 30 moves to a fully engaged state and the interlocking protrusion 64 enters the innermost side of the interlocking channel 34 . In this state, the terminals of the connector 10 and the mating connector 60 may be coupled to each other.

Meanwhile, the fastening holder 50 moves to the inside of the moving part 43 of the rib channel 42 and is at the entrance of the hook part 45 of the rib channel 42 as shown in FIG. 11 . . In the state of FIG. 11, that is, in the state of FIG. 10, the slide lever 30 may move in the opposite direction of arrow A in FIG. 9 when an operator applies force. Further movement of the slide lever 30 in the direction of arrow A in FIG. 9 may be restricted by the fastening rib 57 .

Therefore, in order to prevent the slide lever 30 from moving arbitrarily in the state of FIG. 10 , the movement of the slide lever 30 must be regulated. To this end, when the fastening holder 50 is moved in the direction of arrow B in FIG. 11, the fastening rib 57 is located inside the hook part 45 of the rib channel 42 and the slide lever 30 moves. can regulate things. This is shown in FIG. 12 .

And, in the state of FIG. 12 , the fastening lever 58 is in a state of being hooked on one side of the slide lever 30 . This is well illustrated in FIG. 12 . The fastening jaw 59 of the fastening lever 58 is caught on the protrusion on one side of the slide lever 30 to regulate the movement of the slide lever 30 . Thus, the slide lever 30 is fixed to the housing 12 .

In order to release the coupled state between the connector 10 and the mating connector 60, the above-described process may be performed in reverse order. First, the fastening rib 57 is positioned in the moving part 43 of the rib channel 42 by moving the fastening holder 50 . To do this, press the fastening shoulder 59 of the free end of the fastening lever 58 to release the hooked state of the fastening lever 56 on the slide lever 30, and move the fastening holder 50.

When the fastening rib 57 is in the moving part 43 of the rib channel 42, when the slide lever 30 is moved in the opposite direction of arrow A in FIG. 9, the mating connector located in the interlocking channel 34 As the interlocking protrusion 64 of (60) moves along the interlocking channel 34, the coupling between the connector 10 and the mating connector 60 can be released.

On the other hand, the linear reciprocating motion of the slide lever 30 relative to the housing 12 is between the lever guide irregularities 22 and the housing guide irregularities 38 and between the lever guide rail 24 and the housing guide rail 32. ) can be made stably by mutual guidance between

The linear reciprocating motion of the fastening holder 50 with respect to the housing 12 is such that the holder guide rail 26 is mutually guided in the housing guide channel 55 and maintained with the housing guide rib 56. This can be achieved stably by mutually guiding the sphere guide channels 28.
