Connector equipped with comb-like terminal locking tool

A connector equipped with a comb-like terminal locking tool, comprising:

• a connector housing defined by a body having substantially rectangularly arranged front, rear, upper and lower and opposed side peripheral walls;
• at least one terminal chamber in said housing defined by mutually spaced partitions extending longitudinally from said front wall to said rear wall and including an open end formed in said front wall;
• an opening portion in said lower peripheral wall and recesses penetrating in comb-like fashion through the housing including recesses adjacent said side walls to traverse said chamber-forming partitions;
• and
• a terminal locking tool having a cover plate sized for transverse insertion in said opening portion, and mutually spaced side pieces overlying the exterior of said at least one terminal chamber and at least one wall piece intermediate said side pieces arranged in a comb-shape on said cover plate and adapted for insertion in said recesses;
• each of said side pieces having a side edge and a rib extending beyond an elongated edge of said cover plate and extending along a substantial portion of said side edge;
• and a rib guiding groove in said connector for guiding each of said ribs, each rib-guiding groove having a shape corresponding substantially with an associated one of said ribs and being positioned outside of the terminal chambers which the respective side pieces in said side walls overlie.
