Abstract

A divided connector, comprises a terminal having an electric contact part protruding from a main body front part and an electric wire attached under pressure to a main body rear part; an inner housing that allows the terminal inserted into an inner part to be engaged with a terminal engaging piece and attached and the main body front part to protrude from a front end; an outer housing that allows the inner housing inserted into an inner part from a rear part to be engaged with a flexible engaging piece and attached; a terminal positioning regulating wall provided in the outer housing and having a contact part inserting hole for inserting the electric contact part; and a front part positioning frame protruding in the rear surface of the terminal positioning regulating wall correspondingly to the contact part inserting hole to enclose and position the main body front part.

Claims (11)

1. A divided connector, comprising:

a terminal having an electric contact part protruding from a main body front part and an electric wire attached under pressure to a main body rear part;

an inner housing that allows the terminal inserted into an inner part to be engaged with a terminal engaging piece and attached and the main body front part to protrude from a front end;

an outer housing that allows the inner housing inserted into an inner part from a rear part to be engaged with a flexible engaging piece and attached;

a terminal positioning regulating wall provided in the outer housing and having a contact part inserting hole for inserting the electric contact part; and

a front part positioning frame formed inside the outer housing and protruding in a rear surface of the terminal positioning regulating wall correspondingly to the contact part inserting hole to enclose and position the main body front part,

wherein the outer housing, the terminal positioning regulating wall and the front part positioning frame are integrally formed as a single part.

2. The divided connector according to claim 1 , wherein the front part positioning frame includes an engaging piece regulating bottom plate that is inserted into a disengaging space of the terminal engaging piece to regulate a displacement of the terminal engaging piece toward a disengaging direction.

3. The divided connector according to claim 2 , wherein a pair of spaced engaging piece regulating bottom plates are inserted into both sides in a lower surface of the terminal engaging piece.

4. The divided connector according to claim 2 , wherein the terminal engaging piece has an inclined surface whose thickness is gradually reduced toward an inserting direction of the inner housing and comes into contact with the engaging piece regulating bottom plate through the inclined surface.

5. The divided connector according to claim 1 , wherein the outer housing, the terminal positioning regulating wall and the front part positioning frame are monolithically formed.
