ABSTRACT:
To provide a connector in which a compact design of the connector can be achieved, and besides a retaining force for preventing withdrawal of a metal terminal can be further increased, a connector housing10includes terminal receiving chambers11into which metal terminals30can be inserted, respectively, from a rear side, elastic lances12for respectively retaining the metal terminals30to prevent rearward withdrawal of the metal terminals30, an elastic deformation space13for the lances, and a front holder insertion space16which is provided at a front side of the elastic deformation space in continuous relation thereto such that a front holder can be inserted into a predetermined position in the front holder insertion space from the front side. The front holder20has lance holding portions22which enter the elastic deformation space to prevent elastic deformation of the lances when the front holder is mounted into the connector housing from the front side, and the lance and the lance holding portion have an engagement convex portion12band a retaining portion23, respectively, which can be engaged with each other to prevent forward movement of the front holder and also to transmit a rearward force, applied from the metal terminal to the lance, to the front holder.
