Definitions
- the present invention relates to a spring-type connector, and specifically, forcibly releases fitting when a pair of connectors are half-fitted and released (hereinafter collectively referred to as “half-fitted”).
- the present invention relates to a spring-type connector having a spring.
- a connector includes a lock mechanism in which a female connector and a male connector are engaged with each other at a position where they are fitted to each other.
- a spring-type connector is known that forcibly releases fitting by the biasing force of a spring when both connectors are in a half-fitted state that does not reach the fitting position.
- one connector is assembled with an inner housing and an outer housing that surrounds the inner housing and is relatively slidable in the fitting direction, and the inner housing is separated from the other connector with respect to the outer housing.
- a spring is arranged between the two housings so as to be biased.
- the inner housing is biased in a direction (hereinafter referred to as “anti-fitting direction”) with respect to the outer housing by the biasing force of the spring.
- anti-fitting direction a direction

- the retaining mechanism includes a long hole on the upper surface of the outer housing and a protrusion provided on the inner housing so as to be inserted into the long hole. The position of the protrusion is regulated by the protrusion coming into contact with the hole wall at one end of the elongated hole in the relative sliding direction of the inner housing and the outer housing.
- the retaining mechanism provided in the outer housing and the inner housing of FIG. 5 of Patent Document 1, when the female connector and the male connector lock mechanism are not engaged, the outer force is applied by the spring biasing force. The housing and the inner housing are biased in the mating release direction. At this time, the protrusion on the upper surface of the inner housing comes into contact with the hole wall at one end of the elongated hole on the upper surface of the outer housing, and the retaining mechanism functions to hold both the housings in a predetermined assembly position.
- the protrusion of the inner housing is brought into contact with the hole wall of the elongated hole of the outer housing by the urging force of the spring to prevent it from coming off. For this reason, when the biasing force of the spring is increased in the case of a multi-pole connector having a large number of terminals, the protrusion may strongly collide with the hole wall and the retaining mechanism may be damaged.

Energize in directions away from each other (anti-fitting direction). Thereby, a pair of contact member contacts and separation of both housings is controlled. Furthermore, even if the urging force of the spring is increased, the collision force acting between the pair of contact members is alleviated by the cushioning material, so that damage to the retaining mechanism can be suppressed.
