Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A connector is provided, which can seek miniaturization by suppressing external form dimensions of an inner housing. The connector includes, as means for engaging and uniting housing division bodies 20 and 30 that constitute the inner housing 10 , engagement pieces 22 equipped on one side of the housing division bodies and inserted between adjacent terminal accommodation portions 13 in the other side of the housing division bodies, and locking portions equipped between the terminal accommodation portions 13 in the other side of the housing division bodies and engaged with the inserted engagement pieces to make the housing division bodies 20 and 30 in a connection state.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A connector comprising: an inner housing having a plurality of terminal accommodation portions formed therein in a connector fitting direction, the inner housing including a plurality Of housing division bodies that are connected together, and an outer housing that is configured to receive the inner housing to cover a circumference of the inner housing, wherein the connector further comprises, as means for engaging and uniting the plurality of housing division bodies: engagement pieces equipped on an elongated rib positioning in one of the housing division bodies to be engaged and united, and inserted between adjacent terminal accommodation portions in the other of the housing division bodies; and locking portions positioned on an elongated partition between the terminal accommodation portions in the other of the housing division bodies and engaged with the inserted engagement pieces to connect the plurality of housing division bodies, wherein the engagement pieces and the locking portions are provided in a plurality of places that are shifted in a fitting direction of the housing division bodies to be engaged and united, and wherein the connector fitting direction is a direction that is the same as the fitting direction in which the engagement pieces and locking portions are engaged and united. 2. The connector according to claim 1 , wherein the outer housing is configured to electromagnetically shield the circumference of the inner housing.
