Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A connector includes a housing and a holder. The housing includes a terminal housing chamber housing a terminals and a support portion in which a first locking portion for locking the holder in the temporary locking position is formed. The holder is mounted on the housing so as to be movable in a fitting direction of the housing and a mating housing between a temporary locking position and a main locking position. The holder is configured to be immovable from the temporary locking position to the main locking position when the terminal inserted into the terminal housing chamber is in a halfway insertion position and is configured to be movable from the temporary locking position to the main locking position when the terminal is in a normal insertion position.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A connector for housing a terminal comprising: a housing; and a holder, wherein the housing includes a terminal housing chamber configured to house the terminal and a support portion in which a first locking portion for locking the holder in the temporary locking position is formed, wherein the holder is mounted on the housing so as to be movable in a fitting direction of the housing and a mating housing between a temporary locking position and a main locking position, wherein the holder is configured to be immovable from the temporary locking position to the main locking position when the terminal configured to be housed in the terminal housing chamber is inserted in a halfway insertion position and is configured to be movable from the temporary locking position to the main locking position when the terminal is in a normal insertion position, wherein the holder includes an arm that is elastically deformable in a direction away from the first locking portion and extends along the fitting direction from a base portion of the holder such that the arm extends forward from the base portion, wherein the arm includes a second locking portion engaged with the first locking portion to lock the holder in the temporary locking position, and wherein the arm has a recess recessed in the fitting direction in a position near the base portion. 2. The connector according to claim 1 , wherein the support portion is elastically deformable in a direction away from the second locking portion. 3. The connector according to claim 1 , wherein the arm includes the second locking portion at a position on the arm adjacent the base portion, and has the recess at a position facing a side surface opposite to a side where the second locking portion is positioned on the arm. 4. The connector according to claim 1 , wherein the recess is formed as a cavity in the arm. 5. The connector according to claim 1 , wherein the recess is formed as a hollow portion in the arm.
