ABSTRACT:
A rear holder for retaining a terminal in a terminal accommodating chamber of a connector housing with a wire secured to the terminal extending in a rearward direction of the connector housing. The rear holder includes a fitting member having a slit formed therein; a wire clamping member which is integral with the fitting member, the wire clamping member defining a wire insertion hole therein which is continuous with the slit; and locking members for locking the fitting member to the connector housing. The wire is insertable into the slit such that the wire can be retained in the wire insertion hole and the wire clamping member is flexible to allow relative movement thereof with respect to the fitting member when the wire is bent. Therefore, the bend in the wire has a relatively large radius of curvature so that the wire will not break. The wire clamping member includes a pair of spaced arcuate members which together define the wire insertion hole. The arcuate members protrude rearwardly of the fitting portion and are spaced therefrom to allow the flexibility noted above. Further, the thickness of the arcuate members decreases in the rearward direction to increase the flexibility toward the rear of the arcuate members.
