Description

[0001] This application is a divisional application with application number 201810040587.7, application date January 16, 2018, and subject matter “Connector housing and connector”. Technical Field

[0002] The invention relates to a connector housing and a connector, and in particular to a connector housing and a connector with a locking member. Background Art

[0003] In the prior art, a connector generally includes a housing and a conductive terminal accommodated in the housing. Generally, a locking member suitable for locking to the housing of a mating connector is provided on the housing of the connector. When the connector is mated with the mating connector, the locking member is locked with the housing of the mating connector, thereby locking the connector and the mating connector together. When the connector needs to be pulled out from the mating connector, the operator needs to first press the pressing portion of the locking member to unlock the locking member, and then the connector can be pulled out from the mating connector.

[0004] In the prior art, the width of the pressing portion of the lock is very small. When the operator cannot see the lock, that is, when the operator operates blindly, it is difficult for the operator's single finger to touch the pressing portion of the lock at once, which makes it difficult to unlock the lock.

[0005] In addition, in the prior art, it is sometimes necessary to arrange two locking members side by side on the housing of the connector. Usually, the distance between the pressing parts of the two locking members is larger than the width of a single finger of the operator, so that the operator cannot press the pressing parts of the two locking members at the same time with a single finger, which also brings difficulties to the unlocking operation of the locking members.
