- the connector 1 in the present embodiment is located in front of the second temporary fixing portion 32 (Y1 direction) from the front end 16a of the top plate 16 to the front end of the second temporary fixing portion 32.
- a groove D extending in the front-rear direction (Y1, Y2 direction) up to 32a is formed.
- the groove D is a recess provided when the second temporary fixing portion 32 is formed.
- the second temporary fixing part 32 is formed by arranging a mold (not shown) in accordance with a desired position of the front end 32a of the second temporary fixing part 32 when the housing 8 is molded. At this time, since the rear end of the mold (the end on the Y2 direction side in the drawing) is arranged in accordance with the position of the front end 32a, the molded top plate 16 has a top plate corresponding to the position of the mold. A groove D extending in the front-rear direction from the front end 16 a of 16 to the front end 32 a of the second temporary fixing portion 32 is formed.
- the groove D is formed in this manner, so that the front end 32a of the second temporary fixing portion 32 can be seen inside the groove D when the top plate 16 is viewed from the front (Y1 direction).
- the connector 1 according to the present embodiment has such a configuration, so that the second temporary fixing portion 32 is formed by a mold that forms the front end 32a of the second temporary fixing portion 32, and the second temporary fixing portion 32. It can be formed by two molds that form the inclined surface 32b. Conventionally, in order to form the temporary fixing portion in the housing 8, at least three or more dies are required. On the other hand, in the connector 1 of this embodiment, by having the above-described configuration, it is possible to simplify the types of molds required and the steps in forming the configuration required for temporary fixing. For this reason, the expense in formation of the connector 1 can be held down.
- the connector 1 in this embodiment can form the 2nd temporary fix
- stop part 32 can be formed using the metal mold
- die can be simplified.
- the second temporary fixing portion 32 is integrally formed with the top plate 16, for example, the second temporary fixing portion 32 is compared with a connector in which a bar-like or convex temporary fixing portion is separately formed. The strength of the stopper 32 can be increased.
- the cam portion 46 In order to arrange the cam portion 46 in front of the stopper 75 (Y1 direction), the cam portion 46 is positioned between the stopper 75 of the terminal 60 and the rear upper beam 64 as shown in FIGS. 8A and 8B. 4, the actuator 40 is pushed down (Z2 direction) until the rear end 46a of the cam portion 46 is positioned on the front surface 75a of the stopper 75.

- the surface 44c of the first convex portion 44 comes into contact (a state where the contact pressure is maintained).
- the upper surface 44d of the first convex portion 44 moves downward (in the Z2 direction) below the lower surface 34d of the second convex portion 34, whereby the first convex portion 44 is moved. Since the surface 44c of the portion 44 is separated from the surface 34c of the second convex portion 34 on the actuator 40 side, the contact pressure applied to the actuator 40 is lost.
- the width in the left-right direction (X1, X2 direction) of the actuator 40 returns to the width before the contact pressure is applied, and the surface 44c on the actuator holding portion 30 side of the first convex portion 44 is the second convex portion.

Therefore, at least a part of the upper surface 44d of the first convex portion 44 and the lower surface 34d of the second convex portion 34 overlap in the vertical direction (Z1, Z2 direction) as shown in FIG.
- the upward movement (Z1 direction) of the actuator 40 is restricted by the first protrusion 44 engaging the second protrusion 34 of the actuator holding section 30. .
- the connector 1 in this embodiment does not require a part for preventing displacement from the fixed position of the actuator 40, unlike a connector not having this configuration. For this reason, simplification of the structure of the connector 1 is realizable. Further, since the configuration of the connector 1 can be simplified, a process of separately attaching a part for holding the actuator 40 and the cost of the part are not required.
- the positions of the first temporary fixing portion 42 and the second temporary fixing portion 32 are not limited to the positions shown in FIGS. 2 and 6 to 9, and can be appropriately adjusted according to the desired position of the cam portion 46. it can.
