ABSTRACT:
To improve the insertion workability of a terminal part (29) into a connector housing (25), a reverse insertion preventing connector comprises: a terminal part (29) and a connector housing (25). The connector housing (25) is formed with a flexible engage arm (31) having an arm portion (37) extending from an inner wall (33) thereof, an engage step portion (43) engaged with the terminal part (29) when the terminal part has been inserted into the connector housing (25) in a normal direction, and an arm end projection portion (47) engaged with the terminal part (29) when the terminal part is being inserted into the connector housing (25) in a reverse direction. In particular, the connector housing (25) is further formed with at least one terminal insertion guide slope portion (51) extending from the inner wall (33) thereof to such a position as to be roughly flush with the arm end projection portion (47) beside the flexible engage arm (31) so as to guide the terminal part (29) as it is inserted into the connector housing (25).
