ABSTRACT:
There is disclosed a connector in which metal terminals are received and retained in terminal receiving chambers of a housing, respectively, and when withdrawing the terminal, an electrical contact portion of the terminal is prevented from a scratch and deformation. The connector includes a connector housing having terminal receiving chambers, metal terminals for being received respectively into the terminal receiving chambers, and a terminal fixing member connectable to a front portion of the connector housing in a two-stage manner, that is, in a provisionally-locked condition and a completely-locked condition. A first retaining projection engageable with a rear shoulder of an electrical contact portion of the metal terminal inserted into a regular position is formed on one of opposed inner walls of each of the terminal receiving chamber, whereas a flexible arm for urging the electrical contact portion toward the one inner wall is formed on the other inner wall. A retainment release window which is opened in the provisionally-locked condition of the terminal fixing member is formed forwardly of the one inner wall. A flexible terminal protection piece for covering the electrical contact portion is provided in the retainment release window.
