In this way, the inner housing is held in place. 50, which is inside the holding cap 70 is recorded in the outer casing 60 held.

[0039] As this is in Fig. Figure 10 shows a pair of upper and lower positioning protrusions 65 between the pair of mounting walls 62 on the rear wall 61A of the receptacle 61 of the outer housing. 60 provided for. On the other hand, as is the case in Fig. Figure 8 shows a pair of upper and lower positioning holes 58 in the rear wall 51B of the receptacle 51 of the inner housing. 50 provided. Each positioning protrusion 65 is fitted into each positioning hole 58 from the rear. In this way, the inner housing is fitted. 50 in a proper or appropriate mounting position or orientation relative to the outer housing 60 positioned.

[0040] A front wall 74 of the holding cap 70is equipped with an external insertion opening 75 provided. The outer insertion opening 75 is an opening through which the matching connection 100 is inserted, and is adjacent to the inner insertion opening. 54 of the inner casing 50 arranged in a forward-backward direction, as shown in Fig. Figure 5 is shown. In this way, the matching connection occurs. 100 into the spring section 80 through the outer insertion opening 75 the holding cap 70 and the inner insertion opening 54 of the inner casing 50 a.

[0041] Furthermore, a bottom wall 73 of the holding cap 70 equipped with a 73A connection insertion hole. The connection terminal 20 It is inserted from below through the connection insertion hole 73A. If the connection 20 into the holding cap 70The connection insertion hole 73A is inserted, and a side edge or edge part of the section 22 connecting the wire is or will be attached to a retaining projection 63 of the outer housing. 60 Locked. Therefore, the connection is / will be locked. 20 through the outer casing 60 withheld and between the pair of retainable pieces 81 , 82 of the spring section 80 held.

[0042] The spring section 80 The matching connection closes like a sandwich. 100 between the connection port 20 and the spring section 80 one, to prevent the sliding wear of the connection 20 and the matching connection 100 to suppress when wire 30 is shaken or vibrated. If the connection terminal 20 into the spring section 80 is assembled from a state which is in Fig. As shown in section 5, the connection port slides 20 on the second pressing section 82A of the second resettable piece 82 , as this in Fig. Figure 6 shows. More precisely, it slides when the connection port 20 into the receiving section 84 of the spring section 80 through the second opening 86, the connecting port 20 on the second pressing section 82A of the second resettable piece 82 In this way, the connection port can be 20 gently into the spring section 80 in the direction of a proper or appropriate mounting position. It should be noted that, as shown in Fig. Figure 9 shows the tip part of the connection fitting. 20 is locked at a step section 55, which is located on the rear wall 51B of the inner housing 50This is planned. In this way, a shift or relocation to the left of the entire connection point will occur. 20 by receiving or maintaining a reaction force from the spring section 80 suppressed. Therefore, the closing of at least part of the inner insertion opening is possible. 54 through the connection port 20 suppressed and non-preferred situations, such as the one in which the matching connection 100 not in the spring section 80 is being led, suppressed.

[0043] However, as is the case in Fig. As shown in section 6, the spring section 80 through the connection port 20 inclined. Since the second restorable piece 82 with the side wall 51C of the inner housing 50 The inclination of the spring section is what coincides or acts upon it. 80limited or restricted. More precisely, since the tip of the second restorable piece 82 with a second exiting or exit recess 57, which will be described later, the inclination of the spring section 80 restricted. In this way, the tip of the first leading section 81B of the first restorable piece is suppressed. 81 from the inner insertion opening 54 of the inner casing 50 protrudes. Therefore, the matching connection is effective or effective. 100 not with the tip of the first resilient piece 81 together and is placed in the spring section 80 led through the first leading section 81B.

[0044] Furthermore, if the spring section 80 is inclined or becomes an engagement edge of the tip of the first retractable piece 81 and the second holding lead 53 smaller, as shown in Fig. 9 is shown. However, as shown in Fig. As shown in section 6, the base end section 83 hardly inclined, even if the first restorable piece 81 is inclined or becomes inclined. In this way, a state is maintained where the first retaining projection 52 is fitted into the retaining hole 83A. Therefore, the loosening or separation of the spring section is prevented. 80 from the inner casing 50 suppressed.

[0045] The following occurs from a state which is in Fig. As shown in 6, the matching connection 100 into the inner casing 50 through the outer insertion opening 75 and the inner insertion opening 54 one and is inserted into the spring section 80 by sliding on the first leading section 81B of the first restorable piece 81 led. In other words, the matching connection occurs. 100 into the inner casing 50through the outer insertion opening 75 and the inner insertion opening 54 one and is guided into the receiving section 84 through the first opening 85.

[0046] If the tip of the matching connector 100 starts, on the first pressing section 81A of the first resettable piece 81 To glide, the first restorable piece starts 81 , resilient or elastic in one direction away from the second resilient piece 82 to be deformed or warped. If the matching connection 100 a proper or appropriate insertion position is achieved, as described in Fig. As shown in section 7, the first and second resettable pieces are located there. 81 , 82 of the spring section 80 in a fully open state to generate a strong spring force.

[0047] The matching connection 100 is or becomes sandwich-like through the spring section 80 included to connect the section 20 to cross. More precisely, when or where the matching connection 100 and the connection 20 overlapping to have an overlapping part, the spring section 80 configured or set up to be resetting the overlapping part of the matching connection 100 and the connection port 20 to press or push in one direction of the plate thickness. In the example shown, the matching connection is or will be 100 sandwich-like through the spring section 80 included, to orthogonally connect the joint 20 to cross. In other words, the matching connection is or will be 100 overlaps to create the connection port 20to cross inside the receiving section 84. By arranging the connecting port 20 and the matching connection 100 orthogonal to each other, the required dimensions of the connector can be determined. 10 and the matching connection 100 in a longitudinal direction (vertical direction of Fig. 1) of the connection port 20 for example, compared to the case where the connection port is reduced. 20 and the matching connection 100 are arranged in a straight line.

[0048] Here is, or will be, the matching connection. 100 towards the connection point 20 through the first oppressive section 81A pressed or squeezed and the connection port is opened. 20 towards the matching connection 100 through the second pressing section 82Apressed. The first and second pressing section 81A , 82A are arranged so that the pressing and pushing directions are opposite to each other. More precisely, the first and second pressing sections 81A , 82A Bilaterally symmetrical arrangement to overlap in the pressing directions. The matching connection. 100 and the connection 20 are, or become, sandwiched together by the first and second pressing sections 81A , 82A Included. Therefore, the pair of contact point segments is / is located 24 of the connection 20 in contact with the matching connection 100 Under high contact pressure, the two terminals are conductively connected. In this contact state, even if wire 30 is shaken, the contact between the pair of contact points is prevented. 24on the matching connection 100 slides, in order to be worn out.

[0049] It should be noted that a first emerging depression or recess 56, around the tip of the first restorable piece 81 to allow an exit, and the second exiting depression 57 to form the tip of the second restorable piece 82 to allow an exit at corner sections between the front wall 51A and the side walls 51C of the inner housing 50 are provided. Furthermore, a first section 56A, preventing excessive deflection or deflection, is provided for receiving the first leading section 81B behind the first emerging recess 56, and a second section 57A, preventing excessive deflection or deflection, is provided for receiving the second leading section 82B behind the second emerging recess 57. Even if the mating connection100 If used in an inclined or tilted position, excessive deflection of the first restorable piece will occur. 81 This is prevented by the first section 56A, which prevents excessive deflection. Furthermore, even if the connecting port 20 When used in an inclined position, excessive deflection of the second restorable piece occurs. 82 prevented by the second section 57A, which prevents excessive distraction.

[0050] As described above, in this embodiment, when the matching connection is used, the following applies: 100 into the insertion opening (inner and outer insertion opening) 54 , 75 ) of the housing 40 The connection port is used 20 and the matching connection 100 electrically connected or attached, while sandwiched through the spring section 80to be enclosed, which is in the housing 40 is held.

[0051] By doing this, the connection does not need to be shaped into a tube-like form. This makes it easy to create the connection, even if the thickness of the connecting plate increases.

[0052] Furthermore, the connection port 20 with the contact point sections 24 be provided with features on the facing surface 23 protrude, which corresponds to the matching connection 100 turned towards or directed towards it, and the contact point sections 24 The spherical contact surfaces can have a current rating of 24A. According to this configuration, even if the matching terminal 100 The twisting is suppressed so that the contact surfaces or areas of the contact surfaces 24A and the matching connection are not affected. 100The resistance suddenly decreases. Therefore, it can be suppressed that there is contact resistance between the connection terminal. 20 and the matching connection 100 suddenly increases to generate heat and the two connections 20 , 100 to damage.
