Press-connecting connector with integral cover
First Claim
1. An electrical press-connecting connector with an integral cover comprising:
- a housing body which has a predetermined number of terminal receiving chambers for respectively receiving press-connecting terminals, said terminal receiving chambers having open sides directed towards an outer periphery of said housing body; and
a housing cover, fittable on the outer periphery of said housing body, for covering the open sides of said terminal receiving chambers,wherein said housing body and said housing cover are molded integrally with each other as a single unit through connecting piece portions with said housing cover partially fitted on said outer periphery of said housing body, said connecting piece portions being removable and said housing body being fittable inside said housing cover to completely cover said open sides of said terminal receiving chambers,whereby the assembly of said press-connecting connector can be reliably completed by a simple mechanical operation without the occurrence of an improper transfer.

Abstract
A press-connecting connector with an integral cover, in which the production cost can be reduced by reducing the number of steps in a connector housing-molding process, and an automatic assembling process can be simplified by a relatively simple mechanical operation. A press-connecting connector 11 of the invention comprises a housing body 16 having terminal receiving chambers 14 which respectively receive press-connecting terminals 13, and having respective open sides 15, and a tubular housing cover 17 fitted on an outer periphery of the housing body 16 to cover the open sides of the terminal receiving chambers 14. Connecting piece portions 18 are molded integrally with the connector, and interconnect the housing body 16 and the housing cover 17. When the housing body 16 and the housing cover 17 are to be completely fitted together, the connecting piece portions 18 are cut off, and the housing body 16 is further pushed into the housing cover 17, thereby completing the assembly of the press-connecting connector.
