Problems solved by technology

[0008] In recent years, the low profile of the connector assembly, that is, the miniaturization of the connector fitting direction, has been continuously demanded. However, in the connector assembly of Patent Document 1, as described above, in the connector fitting state, it is locked. The lowermost surface of the metal part, that is, the lower surface of the above-mentioned cladding part, has a positional relationship with the base of the locking metal part, so the base of the locking metal part cannot contact the cladding part of the locked metal part in the connector fitting direction. Repeated existence makes it difficult to fully realize the low profile of the connector assembly

[0123] In the first embodiment, the locked metal fitting 30 of the plug connector 2 is manufactured by bending a metal plate member, but instead, the plate portion of the locking metal fitting may be formed by, for example, bending a metal member as follows. Made by machining.

[0124] Figure 8A is a perspective view of the plug connector 102 of the second embodiment, Figure 8B is maintained at Figure 8A A perspective view of the locked metal member 170 of the plug connector 102 of FIG. The plug connector 102 of the second embodiment differs from the plug connector 2 of the first embodiment only in the shape of the metal piece to be locked. The plug-side housing and terminals of the plug connector 102 have the same configuration as the plug-side housing and terminals of the above-mentioned plug connector 2, so the same reference numerals as those in the first embodiment are assigned and descriptions are omitted (see Figure 7A ).

Abstract

The invention provides an electric connector and an electric connector and an electric connector assembling body. By use of the electric connector, the locking function based on a locking part can bekept, and the electric connector assembling body in a connector engagement state can be quite low. The end wall (55) of a housing body (5) is formed in a way that a recessed part (55A) which allows anobject locking part (30) to enter faces the front opening in the connector engagement direction. A locked metal piece (70) comprises a substrate part arranged at the back of the connector engagementdirection; a standing part which forwards stands towards the connector engagement direction from the base part; and locked parts (72C, 75C) which protrude from the standing part along the connection width direction and arranged in the recessed part. In the state that the electric connector is engaged to a target connector, the locked metal piece allows the object locking part to enter in a way offacing the recessed part of the end wall, and the locked parts can be clamped by the locking part of the object locking part in the connector pulling out direction.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an electrical connector that is pluggably fitted and connected to a counterpart connector, and an electrical connector assembly having the electrical connector and the counterpart connector. Background technique [0002] In such an electrical connector assembly, the electrical connectors and the mating connectors that are fitted to each other may have a locking function for maintaining the fitted state of the connectors. For example, the electrical connector assembly of Patent Document 1 includes a receptacle connector having a locking metal fitting, and a plug connector fitted and connected to the receptacle connector having a locked metal fitting from above. [0003] The receptacle connector has a housing made of an electrically insulating material, a plurality of terminals held in a row on the housing, a metal shield member attached to the housing, a locking metal fitting, and an elastically deformable member. The e...
