Patent ID: 10461478

Abstract:
Provided is a connector configured so that tensile strength when an attempt is made to forcibly detach the connector from a partner connector can be enhanced. A housing includes a body portion and a fitting target portion extending to the side of fitting to the partner connector. The diameter of a side portion outer peripheral surface of the fitting target portion is, at at least part thereof, smaller than that of the body portion. A conductive shell includes a first shell and a second shell. The first shell includes a cover portion configured to cover at least part of an outer peripheral surface of the housing, an elastic arm having a free end on the side of fitting to the partner connector, and a support portion elastically connecting the cover portion and the elastic arm and configured to support the elastic arm in a cantilever manner. The elastic arm has a lock portion configured to lock fitting to the partner connector, and has a stepped portion corresponding to a stepped surface of the housing provided using a difference in the diameter. The second shell includes a portion facing the stepped portion at a position closer to the side of fitting to the partner connector than the stepped portion of the elastic arm.
