Abstract:
High reliability is achieved with a protected state guaranteed for housings with reinforcing brackets being rigid to he free from displacement and misorientation. A connector includes: a connector body; a terminal installed in the connector body; and a reinforcing bracket fit to the connector body. The connector body includes a recess in which a mating connector body of a mating connector fits, and an insular part that is in the recess and fits in a groove part of the mating connector body. The reinforcing bracket includes an inner reinforcing bracket fit to an insular end part that is an end portion of the insular part in a longitudinal direction. The inner reinforcing bracket includes a body part that is disposed on an upper surface of the insular end part, an end plate that is connected to the body part and is disposed on an end surface of the insular end part, a pair of side plates that are connected to right and left ends of the body part and are disposed on right and left side surfaces of the insular end part, and a pair of connecting legs that are each connected to a lower end of a corresponding one of the side plates and extend outward in a right and left direction of the connector body.

Claim (Index 1):
A connector comprising:\n a housing having a mating surface and a mounting surface, the mating surface being configured to be mated to a mating connector, the mounting surface being configured to be mounted to a substrate, the housing having a recess defined therein at the mating surface, the recess defining a bottom wall, first and second side walls and first and second end walls, the housing having a protrusion which protrudes upwardly from the bottom wall of the recess, the protrusion being separated from each of the first and second side walls and each of the first and second end walls, the protrusion having first and second end portions, each of the first and second end portions having an upper surface, an end surface and first and second side surfaces; a plurality of terminals mounted in the housing; and first and second inner reinforcing brackets, each of the first and second inner reinforcing brackets having a body part, an end plate, first and second side plates, and first and second connecting legs, the end plate being operatively associated with an outer end of the body part, an upper end of the first side plate being operatively associated with a first side end of the body part, an upper end of the second side plate being operatively associated with a second side end of the body part, the first connecting leg being operatively associated with a lower end of the first side plate and extending to a free end thereof, the second connecting leg being operatively associated with a lower end of the second side plate and extending to a free end thereof, wherein the free ends of the first and second connecting legs of the first reinforcing bracket are positioned more proximate to the first end wall than are the first and second side plates of the first reinforcing bracket, and wherein the free ends of the first and second connecting legs of the second reinforcing bracket are positioned more proximate to the second end wall than are the first and second side plates of the second reinforcing bracket.
