Problems solved by technology

[0008] In recent years, the low profile of the connector assembly, that is, the miniaturization of the connector fitting direction, has been continuously demanded. However, in the connector assembly of Patent Document 1, as described above, in the connector fitting state, it is locked. The lowermost surface of the metal part, that is, the lower surface of the above-mentioned cladding part, has a positional relationship with the base of the locking metal part, so the base of the locking metal part cannot contact the cladding part of the locked metal part in the connector fitting direction. Repeated existence makes it difficult to fully realize the low profile of the connector assembly

[0038] figure 1 It is a perspective view of the receptacle connector 1 of this embodiment and the plug connector 2 fitted to this receptacle connector 1 from above, and shows the state before connector fitting. figure 2 is to make figure 1 The perspective view showing the receptacle connector 1 and the plug connector 2 upside down is a perspective view showing a posture in which the plug connector 2 is fitted from below.

[0039] The receptacle connector 1 of the present embodiment and the plug connector 2 which is the target connector of the receptacle connector 1 are electrical connectors for circuit boards respectively disposed on the mounting surfaces of different circuit boards (not shown), and constitute The direction at right angles to the surface of each circuit board ( figure 1 The up and down direction (Z-axis direction)) is used as the connector assembly in the plugging and unplugging direction. For receptacle connector 1, the connector mating direction relative...

[0123] In the first embodiment, the locked metal fitting 30 of the plug connector 2 is manufactured by bending a metal plate member, but instead, the plate portion of the locking metal fitting may be formed by, for example, bending a metal member as follows. Made by machining.

[0124] Figure 8A is a perspective view of the plug connector 102 of the second embodiment, Figure 8B is maintained at Figure 8A A perspective view of the locked metal member 170 of the plug connector 102 of FIG. The plug connector 102 of the second embodiment differs from the plug connector 2 of the first embodiment only in the shape of the metal piece to be locked. The plug-side housing and terminals of the plug connector 102 have the same configuration as the plug-side housing and terminals of the above-mentioned plug connector 2, so the same reference numerals as those in the first embodiment are assigned and descriptions are omitted (see Figure 7A ).

[0129] Figure 9A is a perspective view of the plug connector 202 of the third embodiment, Figure 9B is maintained at Figure 9A A perspective view of the locked metal member 270 of the plug connector 202 of FIG. The plug connector 202 of the third embodiment differs from the plug connector 102 of the second embodiment only in the shape of the metal piece to be locked. The plug-side housing and terminals of the plug connector 202 have the same configuration as the plug-side housing and terminals of the above-mentioned plug connector 102, so the same reference numerals as those in the second embodiment are assigned and descriptions thereof are omitted (see Figure 9A ).

[0130] Figure 9A The illustrated plug connector 202 is fitted and connected to the receptacle connector 1 of the first embodiment. Such as Figure 9B As shown, the locked metal piece 270 of the plug connector 202 is a material in any direction of the connector fitting direction (Z-axis direction), the ...

Abstract

The present invention provides an electrical connector and an electrical connector assembly that can maintain the locking function of the locking member while making the connector assembly in a mated state shorter. The end wall (55) of the housing (50) is formed such that a recess (55A) allowing the entry of the object locking member (30) opens forward in the connector fitting direction, and the locked metal piece (70) has a base portion located on the connector rear in the fitting direction; a rising portion standing up from the base toward the front in the connector fitting direction; and locked portions (72C, 75C) protruding from the rising portion in the connector width direction and located in the recessed portion In a state where the electrical connector is mated with the mating connector, the locked metal piece allows the mating locking component to enter toward the recessed portion of the end wall, and the locked portion can be removed when the connector is pulled out. The outgoing direction is locked with the locking portion of the object locking member.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an electrical connector that is pluggably fitted and connected to a counterpart connector, and an electrical connector assembly having the electrical connector and the counterpart connector. Background technique [0002] In such an electrical connector assembly, the electrical connectors and the mating connectors that are fitted to each other may have a locking function for maintaining the fitted state of the connectors. For example, the electrical connector assembly of Patent Document 1 includes a receptacle connector having a locking metal fitting, and a plug connector fitted and connected to the receptacle connector having a locked metal fitting from above. [0003] The receptacle connector has a housing made of an electrically insulating material, a plurality of terminals held in a row on the housing, a metal shield member attached to the housing, a locking metal fitting, and an elastically deformable member. The e...
