Problems solved by technology

Then, at the place of operation, the detection member needs to be returned to the original position, which takes time and labor
Moreover, the detection member must be pushed after the connection operation of the two connector housings is completed, that is, two actions are required
Therefore, there is also the problem of troublesome operation

[0079] A first preferred embodiment of the present invention is described with reference to the drawings. In this embodiment, a connector for an inflator, that is, a connector constituting or forming part of an electric circuit of an airbag device having (preferably built in) an inflator is described. The connector is provided with at least one pair of female and male connectors F, M connectable to each other. In the following description, the two connectors F, M refer to the connected side as the front side with respect to the forward and backward direction FBD, and refer to the attached figure 1 .

[0080] First, the connector to be connected with the airbag device will be described. The connector is constructed as a male connector M to be directly connected to the device, and comprises a male housing 80 (corresponding to a preferred further connector housing) that preferably integrally or singly protrudes from (a particular wall surface of) the device, in front view It i...

Abstract

A connector has female and male housings ( 10, 80 ) and a detector ( 50 ) that can move from a preventing position to a locking position on the female housing ( 10 ). Preventing portions ( 57 ) of the detector ( 50 ) engage retainers ( 59 ) of the female housing ( 10 ) if the detector ( 50 ) is pushed towards the locking position before the housings ( 10, 80 ) are connected. Detector lock arms ( 52 ) slide in contact with interfering portions ( 89 ) of the male housing ( 80 ) and deform if the detector ( 50 ) is pushed towards the locking position when the housings ( 10, 80 ) are connected. Thus, the preventing portions ( 57 ) separate from the retainers ( 59 ) and the detector ( 50 ) can move to the locking position as the detector lock arms ( 52 ) deform. The detector lock arms ( 52 ) restore and engage interlocking portions ( 88 ) of the male housing ( 80 ) as the detector ( 50 ) reaches the locking position.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to connectors and corresponding connector assemblies. Background technique [0002] A known connector is provided with a pair of connector housings connectable to each other, and a detection member assembled into one connector housing to detect a connection state of the two connector housings. For example, in the connector disclosed in Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. H1-86971, the retainer is mounted in one connector housing and is formed with a locking arm elastically deformable to lock both connector housings, Thereby they cannot be separated from each other, wherein the detection piece of the detection member can be inserted into the deformation region of the locking arm. When the two connector housing parts are connected, the locking arm remains elastically deformed, and the pushing movement of the detecting member is limited by interference of the detecting piece with the locking arm. On the other hand, w...
