Patent ID: 10063000

Abstract:
A split connector includes a housing (10) with an accommodating portion (12) and sub-connectors (20) are inserted into the accommodating portion (12). Terminal fittings (23) and retainers (30) are inserted into the sub-connectors (20). Guide recesses (14L, 14R) are formed on an inner surface of the accommodating portion (12) and extend along an inserting direction of the sub-connectors (20) into the accommodating portion (12). Guide projections (29L, 29R) are formed on outer surfaces of the sub-connectors (20) and fit into the guide recesses (14L, 14R) in an inserting process into the accommodating portion (12). Detecting projections (34L, 34R) on outer surfaces of the retainer (30) are configured not to fit into the guide recesses (14L, 14R) when the retainers (30) are at a partial locking position but fit into the guide recesses (14L, 14R) when the retainers (30) are at a full locking position.
