ABSTRACT:
A connector housing for accommodating terminals therein includes a housing body having a plurality of cavities, a plurality of flexible lances which are cngageable with the terminals, and a plurality of cavity orifices for allowing the lances to be displaced in a disengagement direction with the terminals. The lance is provided with slanted surfaces for stopping an excessive displacement of the lances. When the terminals are inserted into the cavities, the lances are displaced in the disengagement direction thereby allowing the terminals to enter into the cavities. In the case of withdrawing the terminals from the connector housing, the excessive deformation of the lance can be prevented by the slanted surfaces' interference with the cavity orifice before the lances are bent forcibly, whereby the lances can return to the initial position elastically and securely after a withdrawing operation of the terminals.
