ABSTRACT:
A connector which can remove the provisionally retained state of a front holder simply and positively. In the connector, a flexible, provisionally-retaining projecting portion (39) is formed in a front holder (4) for retaining a terminal to be inserted into a connector housing (2), a provisionally retaining portion (45) of the provisionally-retaining projecting portion (39) is engageable with a provisionally engaging portion of the connector housing (2), and, in the connector housing (2), there is formed an opening (7a) for insertion of a jig rod (12) while the opening is allowed to communicate with the provisionally-retaining projecting portion (39) in the provisionally retained state of the front holder (4). The opening (7a) is formed in a flexible lock arm (8) so that the opening (7a) can serve also as a lock hole (7) with respect to a mating connector. The end edge of the opening (7a) operates as a leverage fulcrum (13a) with respect to the provisionally-retaining projecting portion (39). In the connector housing (2), there is formed a guide portion (25) for sliding engagement with respect to the provisionally-retaining projecting portion (39) and, in this guide portion, there is formed an opening (25) into which the leading end of a jig rod (12) can be inserted. The front holder (4) is stored into the connector housing (2) while it is held in the provisionally retained state thereof.
