Title:
LEVER-TYPE CONNECTOR
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2024/080274
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A lever-type connector 10, which can mate with an opposite-side connector 50 having an opposite-side sensing terminal 53, comprises: a housing 20; a lever 40 that is attached to the housing 20 so as to be pivotable between a mating-start position and a mating-completed position; and a sensing terminal 30 that is held on the housing 20 and forms a sense circuit by contacting the opposite-side sensing terminal 53. The housing 20 comprises a flexing piece 23 opposite the sensing terminal 30 that is capable of flexing and deforming. The lever 40 comprises a first pressing portion 44 and a second pressing portion 45 that press the flexing piece 23 toward the sensing terminal 30 to thereby space the sensing terminal 30 apart from the opposite-side sensing terminal 53. In a process in which the lever 40 pivots from the mating-start position toward the mating-completed position, the first pressing portion 44 starts to press the flexing piece 23 earlier than the second pressing portion 45. As the lever 40 reaches the mating-completed position, the pressing of the flexing piece 23 by the second pressing portion 45 is released, whereby the sensing terminal 30 contacts the opposite-side sensing terminal 53.
