Modular plug and plug installation structure
An modular plug includes a plug main body that can be inserted into and removed from a connector; an engaging claw configured to engage the plug main body with the connector; and an operations lever configured to turn off engagement of the plug main body and the connector by the engaging claw; wherein a lock turning-off member is provided at the plug main body so that the lock turning-off member can be slid in inserting and removing directions; an inclination surface of the lock turning-off member is formed in a position facing the operations lever; and the inclination surface operates the operation lever accompanying sliding in the inserting direction of the lock-turning off member so that the engagement of the engaging claw and the connector is turned off.
1. A modular plug, comprising:
a plug main body that can be inserted into and removed from a connector;
an engaging claw configured to engage the plug main body with the connector; and
an operations lever configured to turn off engagement of the plug main body and the connector by the engaging claw;
wherein a lock turning-off member is movably coupled to the plug main body so that the lock turning-off member can be freely slid relatively thereto in inserting and removing directions;
an inclination surface of the lock turning-off member is formed in a position facing the operations lever; and
the inclination surface operates the operation lever accompanying the sliding, in the inserting direction, of the lock-turning off member so that the engagement of the engaging claw and the connector is turned off.
2. The modular plug as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising:
an energizing member configured to exert a force on the lock turning-off member so that the inclination surface is separated from the operations lever.
3. The modular plug as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a cylindrical shape member is provided at the plug main body;
a cable connected to the plug main body is inserted inside of the cylindrical shape member; and
a removing prevention part configured to prevent removal of the lock turning-off member from the plug main body is provided at the plug main body.
4. The modular plug as claimed in claim 1 ,
wherein the inclination surface is formed inside of a projection of the lock turning-off member; and
the projection is operable as an operations knob for operating the lock turning-off member.
5. The modular plug as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the lock turning-off member has an internal space where a part of the plug main body is received.
6. A plug installation structure, comprising:
a plurality of stacked connectors, the connectors having a plurality of connectors gathering bodies where a plurality of connector parts are provided in a line; and
a modular plug, the modular plug including:
a plug main body that can be inserted into and removed from a connector;
an engaging claw configured to engage the plug main body with the connector; and
an operations lever configured to turn off engagement of the plug main body and the connector by the engaging claw;
wherein the modular plug includes a lock turning-off member, the lock turning-off member is movably coupled to the plug main body so that the lock turning-off member can be freely slid relatively thereto in inserting and removing directions;
an inclination surface of the lock turning-off member is formed in a position facing the operations lever; and
the inclination surface operates the operation lever accompanying the sliding, in the inserting direction, of the lock-turning off member so that the engagement of the engaging claw and the connector is turned off.
7. The plug installation structure as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the modular plug further includes an energizing member configured to exert a force on the lock turning-off member so that the inclination surface is separated from the operations lever.
8. The plug installation structure as claimed in claim 6 , wherein a cylindrical shape member is provided at the plug main body;
a cable connected to the plug main body is inserted inside of the cylindrical shape member; and
a removing prevention part configured to prevent removal of the lock turning-off member from the plug main body is provided at the plug main body.
9. The plug installation structure as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the inclination surface is formed inside of a projection of the lock turning-off member; and
the projection is operable as an operations knob for operating the lock turning-off member.
10. The plug installation structure as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the lock turning-off member has an internal space where a part of the plug main body is received.
11. The plug installation structure as claimed in claim 6 , wherein a position of the connector part of the connector gathering body situated at a lower step is shifted from a position of the connector part of the connector gathering body situated at an upper step.
12. The plug installation structure as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the connector part is an RJ-45 connector.
