Abstract
Enclosed herein is a connector which comprises a connector housing having a rear portion thereof. A plurality of terminal accommodating compartments are formed in the connector housing and each terminal accommodating compartment has an aperture. A plurality of terminals connected to wires, respectively, are inserted into the terminal accommodating compartment through the apertures. A cover member removably attached to the rear portion of the connector housing is provided. The cover member includes a spacer section for securing the terminals in the terminal accommodating compartments when the spacer section is inserted into the apertures and a wire bundling section for bundling the wires therein. The spacing section and wire bundling section are formed on the cover member integrally.
Claims14
A connector, comprising:
- a connector housing having a rear portion thereof;
