Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A connector includes a housing and a slide holder. The housing includes a lock portion maintaining a completely fitted state with a mating housing. The slide holder is configured to be mounted on the housing so as to be movable in a fitting direction of the housing and the mating housing between a temporary locking position and a main locking position, and is movable from the temporary locking position to the main locking position while avoiding interference with the lock portion only in the completely fitted state. The housing includes a pair of protective walls extending in the fitting direction so as to sandwich the lock portion and the slide holder in a width direction orthogonal to the fitting direction.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A connector comprising: a housing; and a slide holder, wherein the housing includes a lock portion maintaining a completely fitted state with a mating housing, wherein the slide holder is configured to be mounted on the housing so as to be movable in a fitting direction of the housing and the mating housing between a temporary locking position and a main locking position, and is movable from the temporary locking position to the main locking position while avoiding interference with the lock portion only in the completely fitted state, wherein the housing includes a pair of protective walls extending in the fitting direction so as to sandwich the lock portion and the slide holder in a width direction orthogonal to the fitting direction, and wherein the protective wall includes a notch which makes a part of the slide holder visible when the slide holder is in the temporary locking position, and makes the part of the slide holder invisible when the slide holder is in the main locking position when viewed from the width direction. 2. The connector according to claim 1 , wherein the housing and the slide holder include locking structures for locking the slide holder in the temporary locking position, wherein the slide holder and the pair of protective walls include guide structures that guide the movement of the slide holder with respect to the housing, and wherein the guide structures have relief portions for making the slide holder inclined with respect to the housing in a direction in which the interference of the locking structures is avoided when the slide holder is mounted on the housing.
