Connector
A first housing includes a wide connection surface and a bearing formed on an edge on one side along the longitudinal direction of the connection surface. A second housing includes a side surface formed to face in a direction intersecting a connecting direction of the first and second housings. A lid is displaceable about a shaft supported by the bearing portion to a closed position where the lid covers the connection surface and an open position where the lid member contacts the side surface. The lid is biased from the open position to the closed position by a biasing member. An outer shape of the lid has a long side arranged along the longitudinal direction of the connection surface and a short side intersecting the long side and shorter than the long side.
1. A connector, comprising:
a first housing and a second housing connectable to each other;
a connection surface formed to be long in a longitudinal direction at a position of the first housing facing the second housing;
a bearing formed on an edge on one side along the longitudinal direction of the connection surface in the first housing;
a side surface formed in the second housing to face in a direction intersecting a connecting direction of the first housing and the second housing;
a lid displaceable about a shaft supported by the bearing to a closed position where the lid covers the connection surface and an open position where the lid contacts the side surface when the first housing and the second housing are connected; and
a biasing member for biasing the lid from the open position to the closed position,
an outer shape of the lid having a long side arranged along the longitudinal direction of the connection surface and a short side intersecting the long side and shorter than the long side.
2. The connector of claim 1 , wherein:
a sealing member disposed in the lid and sealing the connection surface at the closed position, and
the second housing includes, on the side surface, an outer peripheral wall surrounding the sealing member when the lid is at the open position.
3. The connector of claim 2 , wherein the second housing includes a second housing body and a wire cover to be mounted on the second housing body, and the side surface and the outer peripheral wall are provided on the wire cover.
4. The connector of claim 3 , wherein:
the lid includes a lid-side lock; and
the second housing includes, on the side surface, a housing-side lock for keeping the lid at the open position by contact with the lid-side lock.
5. The connector of claim 1 , wherein:
the lid includes a lid-side lock; and
the second housing includes, on the side surface, a housing-side lock for keeping the lid at the open position by contact with the lid-side lock.
