Connector with dual inner-wall guide structure and wire receiving space for repairability

A connector to be connected to a wire including a core wire and an insulation coating covering an outer periphery of the core wire and extending in a front- rear direction, comprising:

• a terminal to be connected to the core wire;
• a connector housing including a terminal accommodating portion for accommodating the terminal inside;
• and
• a rear holder to be mounted on a rear part of the connector housing,
• the terminal including a core wire insertion opening, the core wire being inserted into the core wire insertion opening from behind, an electrically connecting portion to be electrically connected to the core wire and a pressing portion for pressing the core wire inserted through the core wire insertion opening and disposed at a position of the electrically connecting portion in the front-rear direction against the electrically connecting portion,
• a wire inserting portion being constituted by the connector housing and the rear holder, the wire being inserted into the wire inserting portion,
• the wire inserting portion including a guide portion for guiding insertion of the core wire into the core wire insertion opening of the terminal accommodated inside the terminal accommodating portion, and
• the guide portion being constituted by a first inner wall provided in the connector housing and a second inner wall provided in the rear holder,
• the guide portion being configured to guide the core wire only when the rear holder is in a temporary-lock position, the guide portion disappearing when the rear holder moves to a complete- lock position,
• and the connector housing including a wire receiving space located behind the first inner wall to suppress interference between the insulation coating of the wire and the second inner wall when the rear holder is moved rearward.
