ABSTRACT:
A connector for receiving a plurality of terminals includes a housing and a terminal locking member. The housing defines a plurality of terminal accommodating chambers and a cavity formed in an outer wall of the housing, wherein each of the plurality of terminal accommodating chambers accommodates a respective one of the plurality of terminals, and wherein the cavity extends across the terminal accommodating chambers. The terminal locking member is movably disposed in the cavity of the housing, the terminal locking member being movable between a temporary locking position in which the terminal locking member is not engaged with the terminals accommodated in the terminal accommodating chambers and a final locking position in which the terminal locking member is engaged with the terminals, wherein the terminals are retained in the terminal accommodating chambers when the terminal locking member is in the final locking position. The connector further includes a temporary-locking locking section formed on the housing and a flexible arm extending from the terminal locking member. The flexible arm is engageable with the temporary-locking locking section to retain the terminal locking member at the temporary locking position and is forcibly bendable to disengage the flexible arm from the temporary-locking locking section to allow movement of the terminal locking member from the temporary locking position to the final locking position.
