Abstract

A connector includes a housing that holds a plurality of terminals and a mating housing that holds a plurality of mating terminals to be connected to the terminals. The mating housing is fitted into the housing to connect the mating terminals to the terminals. The housing comprises a partition wall portion which projects ahead of the terminals and separates adjacent ones of the terminals from each other.

Claims (23)

1. A connector comprising:

a housing that holds a plurality of terminals; and

a mating housing that holds a plurality of mating terminals to be connected to the terminals,

wherein the mating housing is fitted inside of the housing to connect the mating terminals to the terminals;

wherein the housing comprises a partition wall portion including partition walls which project ahead of the terminals and separate adjacent ones of the terminals from each other,

wherein the partition walls include lateral partition walls and longitudinal partition walls which are perpendicular to each other, and

wherein distal end surfaces of the lateral partition walls are positioned behind distal end surfaces of the longitudinal partition walls.

2. The connector according to claim 1 ,

wherein in view from the mating housing, the terminals are arranged vertically and horizontally and the partition walls are disposed to cross one another.

3. The connector according to claim 1 , wherein the partition wall portion extends to a position corresponding to an inner surface of the mating housing.

4. The connector according to claim 1 , wherein the mating housing is fitted inside of the housing through an opening of the housing; and

wherein the partition wall portion extends beyond leading ends of the terminals toward the opening of the housing.

5. The connector according to claim 1 , wherein the housing has a recess portion defined by an inner wall opened toward the mating housing;

wherein the mating housing has a hood portion that projects toward the housing; and

wherein the mating housing is fitted into the housing, the hood portion is inserted into the recess portion.

6. A connector comprising:

a housing that holds a plurality of terminals; and

a mating housing that holds a plurality of mating terminals to be connected to the terminals,

wherein the mating housing is fitted inside of the housing to connect the mating terminals to the terminals; and

wherein the housing comprises a partition wall portion which projects ahead of the terminals and separates adjacent ones of the terminals from each other and

wherein distal end surfaces of the partition wall portion are not in contact with the mating housing when the mating housing is fitted inside of the housing.

7. The connector according to claim 1 further comprising:

an annular waterproof packing disposed in the housing.
