ABSTRACT:
A double terminal stop connector (1) has a terminal stop frame (4) and a connector housing (2). The terminal stop frame (4) has two opposing walls (8) and a pair of flexible hinge members (7) interposed therebetween on both sides of the terminal stop frame so that the two opposing walls can be elastically compressed. A temporary engagement arm 10 is formed with an end stopper surface (8c) and a temporary engagement projection (9). At least one complete engagement projection (11) is formed on at least one surface of the two opposing walls of the terminal stop frame. The connector housing (2) is formed with a temporary engagement slot (16) which is engageable with the temporal engagement arm projection (9) when the terminal stop frame is temporarily engaged with the connector housing. At least one complete engagement hole (17) is engageable with the at least one complete engagement projection (11) when the terminal stop frame is completely engaged with the connector housing. The end stopper surface (8 c) of the temporary engagement arm (10) is brought into contact with an end surface of the connector housing under temporary engagement conditions but is dislocated from the end surface of the connector housing when the flexible members are compressed for complete engagement of the terminal stop frame with the connector housing. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the terminal stop frame (4), when engaged with the connector housing temporarily, from being unintentionally engaged with the connector housing completely.
