取付けられて使用されるワイヤハーネス用等の電気コネ
クタの取付装置に関するものである。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial field of application] The present invention relates to a device for mounting an electric connector for a wire harness that is used by being mounted on a machine body that generates vibration, such as an automobile.
電気コネクタは，一般に，相嵌合する雄コネクタ部材と

に，この半嵌合状態が発生する傾向は電気コネクタの極
数が大きく結合力が大きいと著しくなる。However, even if the locking means of both connectors is not completely coupled due to the semi-fitted state where both connector members are not completely fitted, they will not be easily separated by the mutual contact pressure of the connector members. On the other hand, if the terminals in the connector member are in contact with each other in spite of this half-fitted state, this half-fitted state cannot be electrically detected, and therefore it is left without knowing the half-fitted state. It will be. However, when this electrical connector is attached to a vehicle body that generates vibration, such as an automobile, the male and female connector members are separated by this vibration, and the terminals of the connector members are not completely connected even before they are separated. The electrical performance is low. In particular, the tendency of this half-fitting state is remarkable when the number of poles of the electrical connector is large and the coupling force is large.
本考案の目的は，上記の欠点を回避するために，コネク

コネクタの取付装置を提供することにある。SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide an electrical connector mounting device capable of reliably detecting a half-fitted state of a connector member in order to avoid the above-mentioned drawbacks.

The latch member is provided on the connector member and is latched on the latch portion of the through bracket. The latch member provided on one of the connector members and elastically protruding toward the other connector member by the through bracket. A device for mounting an electrical connector, comprising: a stop claw and a locking portion which is provided on the other connector member and which is locked by the locking claw when the male and female connector members are completely fitted together. It is provided.

ため誤ってロック手段を解除しても雌雄のコネクタ部材
の結合が外れることがない。According to this structure, when the electrical connector composed of the male and female connector members is mounted so as to be supported by the through bracket, the locking claw is elastically pushed up by the through bracket when the male and female connector members are not completely connected. Even if an attempt is made, the locking claw is restrained from being pushed up by the locking portion to be locked to it, and the through bracket does not enter the through holder of the electric connector, so that the male and female connector members are incompletely coupled. As a result, the half-fitted state of the electrical connector is detected.
Further, if the male and female connector members are completely connected, the locking claw of one connector member of the electric connector is elastically pushed up by the through bracket and the locking claw of the other connector member is engaged. Since the male and female connector members are doubly locked together with the locking means because they are locked by the stoppers, the male and female connector members will not be disengaged even if the locking means is accidentally released.

防止するリブである。The mounting device 10 of the present invention is provided on the male connector member 14, which is one of the connector members, and is provided with a through bracket 22.
When the through bracket 22 is inserted into the through holder 24 for supporting the same, the through bracket 22 elastically projects toward the female connector member 16 which is the other connector member (see FIG. 2). ), And the locking portion 30 provided on the female connector member 16 which is the other connector member and locked by the locking claw 28 when the male and female connector members 14, 16 are completely fitted (see FIG. 3). ) And. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, the locking claw 28 is formed by the tip of a projecting piece 24a extending from a part of the upper wall of the through holder 24 toward the opening of the through holder 24. The surface of the through bracket 22 into which the through bracket 22 is inserted is engaged with the tip 22b of the through bracket 22 to push the locking claw 28 upward against the elasticity of the projecting piece 24a by the tip 22b of the through bracket 22. It has a protrusion 28a. Therefore, the engaging claw 28
Is normally on the same surface as the upper wall of the through holder 24 as shown in FIG. 4 (A), but when the through bracket 22 is inserted into the through holder 24, the locking claws 28 are inclined projections 28a. Along the inclined surface of the protrusion 24a is pushed up against the elasticity of the protrusion 24a as shown in FIGS. 1 and 4 (B). Incidentally, in FIG. 3, reference numeral 32 is provided on the female connector member 16 at the same height as the locking portion 30 and is attached to the male connector member 1.
4 is a rib that prevents the female connector member 16 from rattling when it is engaged with the connector 4.

される。Next, the usage state of the electrical connector mounting device 10 of the present invention will be described. First, as shown in FIG. 4 (A), it is assumed that both connector members 14 and 16 of the electric connector 12 are joined in a semi-fitted state. In this state, the electric connector 12
The through bracket 22 is inserted so as to be inserted into the through holder 24 as shown by an arrow P in FIG. However, when both connector members 14 and 16 are already in a half-fitted state as shown by the solid lines, first the tip 22 of the through bracket 22 is
b is the inclined projection 2 of the elastic locking claw 28 in the through holder 24.
8a, but the engaging claw 28 is pressed by the engaging portion 30 of the male connector member 14 even when the electric connector 10 is further moved toward the through bracket 22, so that the engaging claw 28 is pushed up. The through bracket 22 cannot be inserted into the through holder 24 because there is no. Therefore, it is detected that the male and female connector members 16 and 14 are not completely connected. In this way, the electric connector 10 is pulled out from the through bracket 22, the male and female connector members 14 and 16 are completely coupled, and then the electrical connector 10 is reinserted into the through bracket 22. When the male and female connector members 16 and 14 are completely connected, when the electric connector 10 is inserted into the through bracket 22 as shown in FIG. Since it can enter the through holder 24 while being pushed up, the male and female connector members 16, 14
Is confirmed to be completely connected, and the locking claw 28 of the male connector member 14 is locked to the locking portion 30 of the female connector member 16, so that the female connector member 16 is locked together with the locking means 20. Escape from 14 is prevented.

解除されることがない。According to the present invention, as described above, it is possible to detect whether the male and female connector members are in the half-fitted state or the fully-fitted state depending on whether or not they can be inserted into the through bracket of the electrical connector. Further, when the electric connector is mounted on the through bracket, this mounting device double-locks the male and female connector members together with the locking means, so that the coupling of the male and female connector members may be released even if the locking means is accidentally released.
