ABSTRACT:
A connector for electric connection comprises an insulator housing having a plurality of flaps hingedly connected for individual opening and closing movement to a wall of the insulating housing. Each of the flaps has a terminal holding projection thereon which, in a closed position, extends through an opening formed in the wall into one of a plurality of terminal receiving chambers of the housing and holds a terminal inserted in the terminal chamber from being pulled off the housing. A companion insulator housing has a plurality of half insertion detecting projections formed therein corresponding to the flaps of the insulator housing for engaging with the flaps abutted with terminals inserted in the terminal receiving chambers to detect incomplete insertion of the terminals into the terminal receiving chambers. The terminal holding projection may be formed as a pair of flexible arms each having a tapered face and a contiguous chamfered face to facilitate insertion of the terminal holding projection into the opening of the wall of the housing.
