ABSTRACT:
A connector in which hinges (17), interconnecting a cover (15, 16) and a housing, (11) are positively prevented from being damaged, and the rate of development of defective products during the supply of parts and during the production of a wire harness is reduced. The connector includes a housing (11) having an opening (13) communicating with terminal receiving chambers (12) formed in the housing, a cover 15, 16 for closing the opening (13) and long hinges (17) interconnecting the housing and the cover. Before the cover is closed, the long hinges are deformed in a curved manner, and are received in a space P between the housing and the cover, and connecting bands (18) extend between the housing (11) and the cover, (15, 16) and are disposed outwardly of the long hinges,(17) respectively, and when the cover (15) is to be closed, the connecting bands (18) are cut in parallel relation to a centerline C of the housing, and are removed.
