Lever type connector
A lever type connector includes a first housing having a hood part, a second housing fittable into the hood part, a lever swingably assembled to an outer circumference of the second housing in a manner that a swing motion of the lever allows the second housing to be fitted in the hood part and allows the lever to be accommodated in the hood part, and a backlash preventing part provided in the lever and formed so as to project toward an inner wall surface of the hood part. The backlash preventing part is in pressure contact with the inner wall surface of the hood part when the second housing is fitted into the hood part.
1. A lever type connector, comprising:
a first housing having a hood part;
a second housing fittable into the hood part;
a lever swingably assembled to an outer circumference of the second housing in a manner that a swing motion of the lever allows the second housing to be fitted in the hood part and allows the lever to be accommodated in the hood part; and
a backlash preventing part provided in the lever and formed so as to project toward an inner wall surface of the hood part, wherein
the backlash preventing part is configured so as to be in pressure contact with the inner wall surface of the hood part under a condition that the second housing is fitted into the hood part, and
the backlash preventing part includes an inclined surface, the inclined surface being inclined downward towards a swing direction of the lever and configured so as to be in pressure contact with the inner wall surface of the hood part under the condition that the second housing is fitted into the hood part.
2. The lever type connector of claim 1 , wherein
the inclined surface of the backlash preventing part is configured so as to be in pressure contact with a section of the inner wall surface of the hood part, that has a normal vector that is parallel to an axis of rotation of the lever, under the condition that the second housing is fitted into the hood part.
3. A lever type connector comprising:
a first housing having a hood part;
a second housing fittable into the hood part;
a lever swingably assembled to an outer circumference of the second housing in a manner that a swing motion of the lever allows the second housing to be fitted in the hood part and allows the lever to be accommodated in the hood part;
a backlash preventing part provided in the lever and formed so as to project toward an inner wall surface of the hood part; and
a backlash stopper rib provided in the second housing and formed so as to project toward the inner wall surface of the hood part, wherein
the backlash preventing part is configured so as to be in pressure contact with the inner wall surface of the hood part under a condition that the second housing is fitted into the hood part, and
the backlash stopper rib is configured so as to be in pressure contact with the inner wall surface of the hood part under the condition that the second housing is fitted into the hood part.
4. The lever type connector of claim 3 , wherein
the backlash preventing part and the backlash stopper rib are arranged so that their respective positions in relation to a side surface of the second housing are different from each other in a length direction of the second housing.
5. The lever type connector of claim 3 , further comprising:
an additional backlash stopper rib provided in the second housing and formed so as to project toward the inner wall surface of the hood part, wherein
the additional backlash stopper rib is configured so as to be in pressure contact with the inner wall surface of the hood part under the condition that the second housing is fitted into the hood part, and
under the condition that the second housing is fitted into the hood part, the backlash stopper rib is positioned at an opening side of the hood part and the additional backlash stopper rib is positioned at a bottom side of the hood part, the bottom side being a front side of the hood part in a fitting direction of the second housing into the hood part.
