Connector housing

A housing used for an electric connector, comprising:

• at least one terminal space into which an electric terminal is to be inserted;
• and
• a lance for preventing said electric terminal from slipping out of said terminal space, said lance including a flexible portion, a protrusion extending from said flexible portion and engaging with said electric terminal, and a raised portion formed on each of opposing sidewalls of said flexible portion;
• said lance defining an escape space in which said flexible portion can be bent in a direction in which said protrusion and said electric terminal are disengaged with each other, said flexible portion having a passage along which a jig can move and which extends in a direction in which said jig is inserted into said lance, said jig being used for disengaging said protrusion and said electric terminal from each, and
• said passage of said flexible portion comprising a recess in said raised portion on at least one of said opposing sidewalls;
• and
• wherein said recess has an inclined surface having a depth shallower in a direction in which said jig moves said flexible portion to disengage said protrusion and said electric terminal from each other.
