ABSTRACT:
A terminal retaining structure for a connector, having a terminal locking tongue formed integrally with the connector housing so as to extend at an angle to the upper surface of the connector housing and to be bent flat over the upper surface of the connector housing for retaining a terminal inserted in the terminal chamber of the connector housing, and provided with a hook or hooks corresponding to the terminal chamber or terminal chambers, respectively. When the locking tongue is bent flat over and locked to the upper suface of the connector housing with a catch, the hook engages the shoulder of the terminal inserted in the terminal chamber and pushes the latter inward to the correct position and retains the terminal firmly at the correct position. The terminal retaining structure is applicable to both a single connector or a multiple connector.
