ABSTRACT:
A connector housing body has a terminal receiving chamber. A projecting terminal has a terminal base received in the terminal receiving chamber and a projecting portion projecting from the housing body. A front body covers the projecting portion of the terminal. The front body has the terminal insertion hole through which the projecting portion of the terminal is extended. L locking means are provided in the housing body and the front body for finally locking the front body to the housing body at a final locking position where the projecting portion of the terminal is extended from the insertion hole. The locking means preliminarily locks the front body at the preliminary locking position where a leading end of the projecting portion of the terminal is positioned with a less distance from the front body than at the final locking position. At the preliminary locking position, the projecting portion of the terminal is not extended from the terminal insertion hole of the front body. Even when the projecting portion of the projecting terminal a little extends from the front body, the extended length is smaller than at the final locking position.
