ABSTRACT:
A connector has a dual terminal-fastening structure. Terminals each have an engagement hole and a engagement strap. The terminals are housed in terminal chamber formed in a housing. The terminal chamber has a support portion, which projects from the inner wall of the terminal chamber into the terminal chamber. The support portion supports a resilient fastening arm at an intermediate portion thereof. The resilient fastening arm extends within the chamber in a direction in which the terminal is inserted into the housing. The elongated resilient engagement arm has a first end portion and a second end portion. The second end portion engages the engagement hole of the terminal to hold the terminal within the terminal chamber. The housing is fitted into a terminal-fastener so as to fasten the terminals in place within the terminal chambers. The terminal-fastener is provided with first engagement portions and second engagement portions. The first engagement portion engages the engagement strap of the terminal to fasten the terminal within the terminal chamber when the terminal-fastener is fitted into the housing. The second engagement portion engages the inner wall of the terminal chamber, the support portion, and the first end portion of the fastening arm when the terminal-fastener is fitted into the housing.
