ネクタＦを組み立てる。Similarly, by inserting the male terminals 32 into the male terminal accommodating chambers 15 of the concave housing 13 and engaging the engaging protrusions 38 with the engaging arms on the wall of the accommodating chamber (not shown) to engage, the female connector is obtained. Assemble F.
雌，雄コネクタＦ，Ｍにおける雄端子３２と雌端子４０
の前記基板３３，４１とは互いに面直交である。Male terminal 32 and female terminal 40 in female and male connectors F and M
The substrates 33 and 41 are orthogonal to each other.
雌コネクタＦにおけるフード１９のガイド溝２０に雄コ
ネクタＭの浮き上がり防止リブ９を合わせて、雄コネク
タＭを雌コネクタＦに嵌合する。The male connector M is fitted into the female connector F by aligning the rising prevention rib 9 of the male connector M with the guide groove 20 of the hood 19 of the female connector F.
すると、脱落防止突起１０が脱落防止ロック部２２に係

係合させ、ロックする。18 (a), when the push lever 26 ″ is inserted to completely fit the female and male connectors F and M and electrically connect the female and male terminals 40 and 32, FIG.
As shown in (b), the hood 1 is moved by moving the male connector M laterally.
A gap V is generated between the end wall 70 of 9 ″ and the concave wall 67 of the convex housing 1 ″ (see FIG. 16) in the same manner as described above. Therefore, the spacer 59 ′ is pushed down and the locking projection 62 is locked. Engage and lock 63.
以上説明したように、本発明の電気コネクタ組立体は、
雌，雄コネクタの嵌合をほぼ零挿入力、また雌，雄端子
の挿抜も従来に比べて極めて小さい力で行うことができ
る。As described above, the electrical connector assembly of the present invention is
The female and male connectors can be fitted with almost zero insertion force, and the female and male terminals can be inserted and removed with an extremely small force as compared with the prior art.
カム機構を採用したプッシュレバーによる雄コネクタ
（凸型ハウジング）の横移動の操作にはネジ締め型超多
極コネクタのように、インパクトレンチ等の工具を必要
とせず、作業性が向上すると共に、ハウジングの内部構
造も簡単にできるので、コネクタ自体も安価に製作でき
る利点がある。Unlike the screw tightening type ultra-multipole connector, the push lever that employs the cam mechanism does not require tools such as an impact wrench for lateral movement of the male connector (convex housing), improving workability. Since the internal structure of the housing can be simplified, there is an advantage that the connector itself can be manufactured at low cost.
また、雌，雄端子の挿抜を互いの端子軸と直交する方向
から行わせることにより、接続に必要なストロークを小
さくしても十分に大きな接触面積を確保することができ
る。Further, by inserting / removing the female and male terminals in a direction orthogonal to the mutual terminal axes, it is possible to secure a sufficiently large contact area even if the stroke required for connection is reduced.
さらに、嵌合確認用スペーサを使用することにより、不
完全嵌合を未然に防止し、電気的接続の信頼性の高い電
気コネクタ組立体を提供することができる。Furthermore, by using the fitting confirmation spacer, incomplete fitting can be prevented in advance, and an electrical connector assembly with high reliability of electrical connection can be provided.
