ABSTRACT:
A connector with a double retaining mechanism which allows a cover member closing operation to be performed reliably as well as easily without providing a hinge portion, and allows a connecting terminal accommodated in a terminal accommodating chamber to be doubly retained reliably by a cover member. A connector with a double retaining mechanism allows a female terminal to be unreleasably retained by a release preventing lance with the female terminal inserted into a terminal accommodating chamber formed in a housing. When a cover member that covers an opening in the rear of the terminal accommodating chamber closes a rear portion of the housing, coupling portions arranged on a base end portion of the cover member are cut off while twisted. At this time, a claw arranged on the base end portion of the cover member retains the female terminal in an axial direction while confronting the inner surface of an upper wall, further, retaining lock arms arranged in the rear of the cover member are retained by engaging portions of the housing.
