LOW INSERTION FORCE CONNECTOR

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make a connector structure more compact and smarter, and to prevent both connecters from slacking and separating from each other unexpectedly by fixing the both connecters to a panel tightly. SOLUTION: In a low insertion force connector 1, a lever 3 is mounted pivotably outside a connector 2 on one side, a slider 5 is back and forth movably mounted so as to house the lever and the connector on the one side, driven parts 9, 10 by the slider and a connector 4 on the other side are fitted to driving part 6 of the lever, and the slider is inserted into the inside of the connector on the other side by rotary operation of the lever. The slider 5 has a first locking part 12 and a brim wall 13, and the connector 4 on the other side has second locking parts 14, 45 and a brim wall 15. A panel 11 is fitted to portions between the first locking part and the brim wall and between the second locking parts and the brim wall with the connector on the one side inserted into the connector on the other side, and the slider is positioned inside the second locking parts. A waterproof grommet 31 of elasticity adheres to the brim wall 13. COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT
