ABSTRACT:
Connectors to which cables are attached are provided. Included is a cable having a conductor covered with an insulator, the connector comprising a housing and a terminal held in the housing and connected to the conductor. Cable holders are arranged in the housing and hold a distal end portion of the cable. A shell is fitted in the housing to cover these members. The cable holders hold the cable in the housing, the housing including: fitting holes for fitting the cable holders, the shell including: through holes provided in a position opposed to the fitting holes, the cable holders having a double-legged or double-tined portion consisting of a pair of legs or tines for grasping the cables, such as by pinching or nipping, and a board portion or backbone for connecting the legs or tines together. The cable holders straddle and pinch the cable while the board portion is positioned in the through holes when fitted in the fitting holes via the through holes, thereby reducing size. Another advantage is preventing solder hardening of the wires, thereby further facilitating miniaturization.
