Next, the operation of the embodiment of the present invention will be described. 3 (a) to 3 (c) are views showing the fitting operation of the connector shown in FIG. (A) is a mating confirmation member in a state before mating
13 is housed in the female connector housing 2 as in FIG. 2 (b). (B) shows the middle of the fitting, but the convex ribs 4 on both sides of the male connector housing 1 are inserted into the inner groove 10 of the female connector housing 2, the lower ends of the positioning ribs 8, 8 and the upper surface 1a of the male connector housing. And abut each other to determine the relative positions of the male and female connector housings 1, 2. When the male connector housing 1 is pressed by the force of arrow P, the slope 5a at the tip of the locking projection 5 bends the bent portion 13a of the fitting confirmation member 13 (first
(See the drawing), the fitting confirmation member 13 is pushed upward along the slope 5a by the force of the arrow P '. The locking protrusion 3b and the upper surface 6a of the sleeve 6 are brought into contact with each other, and the locking arm 3 is pushed downward and passes under the upper surface 6a as the fitting progresses.

In the state of (c), the fitting is completed, but the locking protrusion 3b of the locking arm 3 dives under the upper surface 6a of the sleeve 6 to reach the notch groove 7 and return upward. , Pressing part 3a
The upper surface 6a of the sleeve body is fitted between the upper surface 6a and the locking projection 3b, and the locking projection 3b comes into pressure contact with the upper surface 6a, so that the male and female connector housings 1 and 2 are fitted by the elastic force of the locking arm 3. maintain.
At this time, the end surface 5b of the rear end of the locking projection 5 is fitted with the fitting confirmation member 13
If the fitting confirmation member 13 has just passed through the lower side and is pressed by the force of arrow F, the engagement protrusion 14 moves below the elongated hole 12 and the fitting confirmation member 13 opens. It is housed in the housing 11, and the end surface of the fitting confirmation member 13 and the rear end surface 5b of the locking portion 5 come into contact with each other to lock the fitted state of the male and female connector housings 1 and 2. That is, the male and female connector housings 1 and 2 are doubly locked by the locking arm 3 and the cutout groove 7, and also by the fitting confirmation member 13 and the locking projection 5. . If the fitting is not complete, the fitting confirmation member 13 interferes with the locking projection 5 and cannot be lowered, so that it can be easily judged from the outside that the fitting is not completed.

This locked state cannot be released unless the fitting confirmation member 13 is lifted up with a considerable force. That is, when the fitting is released, first, a force is applied to the fitting confirmation member 13 to raise it to the state shown in FIG. 2 (a), and then the pressing portion 3a at the tip of the locking arm 3 is pushed down to engage. Protrusion 3b and upper surface 6a of the sleeve
If you release the lock with and apply a force opposite to the arrow P,
The mating of male and female connector housings 1 and 2 can be released.

As described above, according to the present invention, in fitting the male and female connector housings, the locking structure by the locking arm and the locking structure by the fitting confirmation member are added, so that the locking is doubled. I'm sure. Further, since the fitting confirmation member is projected at the time of half-fitting, it can be easily judged from the outside whether the fitting of the male and female connector housings is completed. In addition, the fitted state can be reliably maintained without being affected by external factors such as vibration. further,
Since the engagement portion of the fitting confirmation member and the female connector housing is composed of a combination of an elongated hole having a narrowed portion at the center and an engagement protrusion, the fitting confirmation member can be securely held in the locked position and the non-locked position. It can be held and easily moved between the two positions.

1. A locking arm having a locking projection is provided on one of male and female connector housings that are fitted in opposition to each other for electrical connection, and a locking portion for the locking arm is provided on the other side, and at the time of mating. In the overlapping part, the male connector housing is provided with a convex rib along the fitting direction, which is provided with a locking projection at the front end and an engaging end surface that is substantially vertical to the fitting direction at the slope and the rear end. The female connector housing is formed with an inner groove into which the convex rib is inserted and an opening is formed in the inner groove. The opening is formed in the inner groove so as to intersect the fitting direction. Provided is a fitting confirmation member that comes into contact with an inclined surface of the tip of the stop projection and moves so that it can be locked with the engagement end surface of the locking projection after fitting, and either the fitting confirmation member or the female connector housing One long hole with a narrowed part in the center, With connector fitting confirmation mechanism, characterized by comprising an engaging protrusion which alternatively engageable with opposite sides of one and moves to both sides of the constriction in the long hole towards.
