ABSTRACT:
A connector including a connector housing having at least one terminal receiving chamber and a lock lance provided in the terminal receiving chamber for locking a terminal to prevent the terminal from coming off from the terminal receiving chamber, and a front holder inserted from a holder insertion port formed at a front end of the connector housing so that a forward end portion of the front holder is plugged into a bending space of the lock lance to thereby prevent the lock lance from bending in a direction of disengagement. In the connector, the front holder is designed so as to be positioned selectively in a normal lock position where the forward end portion is plugged into the bending space of the lock lance or in a temporary lock position where the forward end portion is not plugged. Also, the front holder has a terminal contact portion which constitutes a portion of a circumferential wall of the terminal receiving chamber when the front holder is in the normal lock position, and a jig insertion slot provided in an outside surface of the terminal contact portion so as to extend from one end on a side of the holder insertion port to the other end on a side of the lock lance.
