A connection assembly includes a first housing part, a second housing part pluggable with the first housing part, and a joint connector held between the first housing part and the second housing part. The first housing part has a plurality of contact element receptacles and a plurality of latching elements. The latching elements latch a plurality of contact elements in the contact element receptacles. The second housing part has a locking section locking one of the latching elements in a latching position. The joint connector connects at least two of the contact elements.

In a structure in which a cable is installed into a connector is provided. A back retainer is arranged in a compressed state between an inner circumferential surface of a cylindrical portion, included in a connector body and extending in the axis line direction, and an outer circumferential surface of the cable. The back retainer includes a main annular portion which is configured such that a compression amount on the back retainer in the radial direction centered on the axis line direction gradually increases as the compression amount goes from one side toward the other side. The back retainer includes an engaging protrusion configured to prevent the back retainer from detaching from the cylindrical portion on an outer circumferential surface of the back retainer.

It is aimed to provide a connector capable of properly exhibiting functions of a detection piece. A connector is provided with a housing (10) including a cavity (16), a terminal fitting (40) to be inserted into the cavity (16) from behind and including a tubular box portion (41) having open front and rear surfaces, a tab (31) of a mating terminal fitting (30) being inserted into the box portion (41) from front, and a retainer (60) to be mounted into the housing (10) and including a detection piece (64) capable of coming into contact with a rear end of the box portion (41). The detection piece (64) includes a recess (73) for avoiding interference with the tab (31) passed through the box portion (41).

A connector includes a terminal fitting, a housing that houses the terminal fitting at a housing complete position, and a terminal retaining member that, at an assembling complete position to the housing, retains the terminal fitting remaining at the housing complete position. The terminal fitting includes a penetration hole. The terminal retaining member includes a retaining protrusion that is, at the assembling complete position, inserted into the penetration hole at the housing complete position, and retains the terminal fitting while the terminal fitting remains at that position. The penetration hole is formed to have a left-right asymmetric shape including a first hole part on the left side and a second hole part having a shape different from a shape of the first hole part and arranged on the right side of the first hole part.

A connector includes a plurality of terminal receiving chambers arranged in parallel, a plurality of first tool insertion holes, and a plurality of second tool insertion holes. Each terminal receiving chamber is separated from an adjacent terminal receiving chamber by each of side walls disposed on both sides thereof. Each second tool insertion hole is formed to a side wall located at each of ends in a parallel direction of the terminal receiving chambers. In each second tool insertion hole, a lance unlock rib and a tool pressing rib are placed. The lance unlock rib is one of a pair of lance unlock ribs provided to a lance located at each of the ends in the parallel direction of the terminal receiving chambers. The tool pressing rib is provided to a side surface of the each second tool insertion hole, and protrudes in the each second tool insertion hole.

A connector (10) is provided with a terminal fitting (60) to be connected to a circuit board (120), a housing (20) for accommodating the terminal fitting (60), a board accommodating portion (50) for accommodating the circuit board (120) in the housing (20), a retainer mounting hole (54) provided in the housing (20), and a retainer (80) for locking the terminal fitting (60) by being inserted into the retainer mounting hole (54). A thermal expansion difference between the retainer (80) and the circuit board (120) is set larger than that between the housing (20) and the circuit board (120).

An electrical connector assembly includes an electrically conductive structure having a flat flexible conductor with a plurality of end portions. Each of the plurality of end portions includes a plurality of electrically conductive traces. A plurality of wire contact wedges respectively support the plurality of end portions of the electrically conductive structure. A connector housing supports the plurality of wire contact wedges and the electrically conductive structure.
