ABSTRACT:
In a connector, an incomplete insertion detecting structure is formed as follows: A flexible locking piece adapted to engage with a terminal is formed in each terminal accommodating chamber. A rib insertion space, into which the flexible locking piece is retracted when bent as the terminal is inserted into the terminal accommodating chamber, is formed adjacent to the terminal accommodating chambers. A rib, which is inserted into the rib insertion space, is extended from an engaging body. A flexible arm is provided in the rib insertion space so as to engage with the rib thus inserted. A bracket insertion space is formed adjacent to the rib insertion space into which a through-bracket is inserted and into which the flexible arm is retracted while being bent as the rib is inserted into the rib insertion space. Thus, the incomplete insertion detecting structure is able to positively detect the incomplete engagement of the terminals, bus bars and/or housings.
