ABSTRACT:
To provide a connector housing in which the locking between an elastic lock piece and a terminal can be released without contacting a release tool with the terminal and a terminal retaining portion. A connector housing has a terminal insertion hole whose front end is in communication with a connection opening for connecting a mating terminal whereas a rear end of the terminal insertion hole is in communication with a terminal insertion opening. An elastic lock piece is provided within the terminal insertion hole in such a manner that a flexure-allowing space is formed at one side portion of the terminal insertion hole, the elastic lock piece having a terminal engagement portion for engagement with an inserted terminal. A release-purpose retaining portion for being engaged with a release tool so as to flex the elastic lock piece in a lock-releasing direction is formed on and projects from that surface of the elastic lock piece facing the flexure-allowing space.
