ABSTRACT:
A flexible lance for retaining a terminal inserted into a cavity is formed on a cavity floor separating adjacent cavities, formed in a connector housing, from each other. The cavity floor has a hole for receiving a front end portion of the flexible lance when this lance is flexed into a retracted position. A pair of ribs each serving as a stopper are formed on a lower surface of the cavity floor, and are disposed respectively on opposite sides of the hole, the ribs extending in a longitudinal direction. When a stress exceeding the elastic deformation limit of the lance acts on the flexible lance, side beaks are brought into engagement with the ribs, respectively, thereby preventing the flexible lance from undue displacement.
