ABSTRACT:
An electric connector includes a connector housing (A) having a plurality of terminal receiving chambers (5) aligned side by side in at least one lateral row, a through-path (9) formed through one side wall (8) of the housing so as to communicate with the respective terminal receiving chambers and a terminal lock member (B) inserted into the through-path through two stages of a temporary lock position and a normal lock position, the terminal lock member having flexible lock arms (19) for allowing terminals (C) to be inserted into the terminal receiving chambers at the temporary lock position, having lock protrusions for engaging with the terminals at a normal insertion position to prevent the terminals from coming off, and further having fixing lock rods (23) for engaging with the terminals which are in the normal insertion position at the normal lock position, wherein each of the lock protrusions (20) of the flexible lock arms is formed so as to be wide enough to be engageable with two adjacent terminals (C) which are in the normal insertion position at the normal lock position.
