ABSTRACT:
A terminal retaining structure for a doubly retainable electrical connector comprises a terminal retaining member 3 having overhang wall portions 6a, 6b and terminal retaining projecting plates 7a, 7b projecting forward from the overhang wall portions 6a, 6b for contacting projecting pieces 32 of a terminal 23; and a connector housing 1 having a bottom wall 17 with an opening 13 for inserting terminal retaining member 3 in bottom wall 13 and a flexible retaining lance 20, for retaining terminal 23, having a pair of contact stepped portions 27 formed on opposite side portions corresponding to the pair of terminal retaining projecting plates 7a, 7b for contacting the projecting pieces of terminal 23. When terminal 23 is inserted in connector housing 1 and terminal retaining member 3 is inserted in bottom wall 13, the pair of contact stepped portions 27 contact projecting pieces 32 of terminal 23, and the pair of terminal retaining projecting plates 7a, 7b simultaneously contact projecting pieces 32 of terminal 23 and the pair of contact stepped portions 27, thus preventing deformation of the flexible retaining lance 20 and separation of terminal 23 from connector housing 1.
