Connector

A connector comprising:

• a metal terminal
• a connector housing including a plurality of terminal accommodating chambers each of which has a first flexible locking piece for locking said metal terminal and a locking step portion formed on the wall thereof;
• and
• a terminal locking member engaged with said connector housing and movable between a temporary position and a final position, said terminal locking member having second flexible locking pieces for locking said metal terminals in said terminal accommodating chambers, respectively,
• wherein each of said second flexible locking pieces are adapted to push said metal terminal against the wall of said terminal accommodating chamber, to cause the front portion of said metal terminal to abut against said locking step portion, when said metal is inserted upside down to prevent said metal terminal from being fully inserted within said connector housing.

A connector comprising:

• a metal terminal having an inverted insertion preventing protrusion;
• a connector housing including a plurality of terminal accommodating chambers each of which has a first flexible locking piece for locking said metal terminal, said first flexible locking piece having a base portion;
• and
• a terminal locking member movably engaged with said connector housing in two steps, temporarily and finally, said terminal locking member having second flexible locking pieces for locking said metal terminals in said terminal accommodating chambers, respectively,
• wherein said base portion, when said metal terminal is inserted upside down, in abutted against said inverted-insertion preventing protrusion, with said metal terminal being free from said second flexible locking piece to prevent said metal terminal from being fully inserted within said connector housing.
