Abstract
A locking arm (35) engages with a terminal (26) inserted into a terminal storage chamber (23) of a housing (21) thereby to prevent the terminal (26) from being come out therefrom. A front holder (22) is slid to the housing (21) from the front side of the housing (21) and attached to the housing (21), whereby an excessive deformation prevention plate (45) of the front holder (22) covers the outside of the locking arm (35) thereby to prevent the excessive deformation of the locking arm (35). The housing (21) is provided with an insertion hole (39) which slidably receives the tip portion (45a) of the excessive deformation prevention plate (45) therein and supports the tip portion, whereby the deformation of the excessive deformation prevention plate is prevented.
Claims12
A connector comprising:
- at least one locking arm of a housing which engages a terminal inserted into at least one terminal storage chamber of said housing thereby preventing said terminal from being released therefrom;
- a front holder which slides into said housing from a front side of said housing and attaches to said housing;
- at least one excessive deformation prevention plate of said front holder which extends along a side of said locking arm to prevent excessive deformation of said locking arm;
- and
- at least one insertion hole, provided in said housing, which slidably receives a tip portion of said excessive deformation prevention plate therein to support said excessive deformation prevention plate.
