Connector

A connector comprising:

• a housing main body into which terminals are inserted from a rear of the housing main body, and which includes a rib extending frontward;
• a front holder designed to be fitted into the housing main body from a front of the housing main body, and designed to be capable of moving from a temporary locking position, closer to the front of the housing main body, to a permanent locking position away from the front of the housing main body, and the front holder including a through-hole into which the rib is capable of being inserted;
• temporarily locking means, provided between the housing main body and the front holder, and configured to temporarily lock the front holder in the temporary locking position;
• permanent locking means configured to permanently lock the front holder in the permanent locking position;
• bendable lances provided to one of the housing main body and the front holder;
• and
• lance pressing parts provided to the other of the housing main body and the front holder,
• the connector wherein
• with the front holder existing in the temporary locking position, the bendable lances lock the corresponding terminals which have been inserted into the housing main body from the rear thereof,
• when the front holder is pressed inward from the temporary locking position to the permanent locking position with the terminals locked by the corresponding bendable lances, the lance pressing parts enter corresponding bend allowing spaces of the bendable lances, and prohibit the corresponding bendable lances from bending, thereby double locking the terminals,
• the housing main body is provided with a plurality of terminal accommodating sections for accommodating their respective groups of terminals which are different in specification from one group to another, and
• the rib is arranged between the terminal accommodating sections in order to physically separate the terminal accommodating sections.
