ELECTRIC CONNECTOR
First Claim
1. An electric connector which is provided with a connector main body including an insulating housing and a conductive shell attached to the insulating housing, andwhich is configured such that turning shaft portions of a fit-turning arm are turnably attached to bearing portions formed at both end portions of the connector main body, and when a mating connector has been fitted to the connector main body, a fitted state with the mating connector is held by turning of the fit-turning arm to a fit-acting position,wherein cam portions turning approximately concentrically with the turning shaft portions are provided at the turning shaft portions of the fit-turning arm,cam-biasing devices which come in pressure contact with the cam portions to bias the fit-turning arm in a turning manner are provided on the connector main body, andthe cam-biasing devices are configured to bias the cam portions in a turning manner in a direction of moving the fit-turning arm toward the fit-acting position.

Abstract
It is made possible to maintain a fitted state with a mating connector excellently by a fit-turning arm.
A cam portion is provided at a turning shaft portion of a fit-turning arm which holds a fitted state of a connector with a mating connector, a cam-biasing device is provided on a connector main body, and the fit-turning arm is made hard to depart from a “fit-acting position” by applying a turning biasing force to the cam portion 13d in a direction of holding the fit-turning arm which has been turned to the “fit-acting position” at the “fit-acting position”, so that a fitted state of both the connectors are maintained excellently.
