Abstract:
1. A connector, comprising: a first terminal housing for housing a plurality of first connecting terminals aligned; a second terminal housing for housing a plurality of second connecting terminals aligned; a plurality of insulating members aligned and housed in the second terminal housing; a laminated structure that a front end portion of the first terminal housing is housed in the second terminal housing, and one surface of the plurality of first connecting terminals faces one surface of the plurality of second connecting terminals to form pairs and to form a plurality of contact points sandwiched between the plurality of insulating members when the first terminal housing is fitted to the second terminal housing; a connecting member for collectively fixing and electrically connecting the plurality of first connecting terminals and the plurality of second connecting terminals at each contact point by pressing the plurality of first connecting terminals and the plurality of second connecting terminals; a resin molded body provided in the second terminal housing behind the plurality of insulating members in a fitting direction to hold the plurality of second connecting terminals; and an insulating member assembly formed by assembling the plurality of insulating members so as to restrict movement of each of the insulating members in the fitting direction and in a width direction perpendicular to a lamination direction of the laminated structure and to the fitting direction, wherein the resin molded body comprises at least one pair of restricting protrusions to sandwich the insulating member assembly in the lamination direction in order to restrict expanding movement of the insulating member assembly in the lamination direction when inserting the first connecting terminals into a gap between the second connecting terminals and the insulating members, and wherein the insulating member assembly comprises a terminal protecting member to interfere with a rim of the first terminal housing to prevent the first terminal housing from being erroneously inserted into the gap for receiving the first connecting terminals.
