ABSTRACT:
The connector with a terminal lock consists of: a connector housing having a plurality of terminal accommodating chambers; and a terminal lock mounted to the rear portion of the connector housing. The terminal lock has insertion openings formed therethrough at locations corresponding to the terminal accommodating chambers. The terminal lock also has a plurality of pairs of a flexible terminal guiding piece and a flexible terminal holding piece, the paired pieces projecting forwardly from the opposing surfaces of each insertion opening. Coupling means are provided to the mating portions of the connector housing and the terminal lock so that the terminal lock is mounted to the connector housing first in a half-coupled state and then in a full-coupled state. With the terminal lock half-coupled, the terminal lugs can be smoothly guided by the terminal guiding pieces into the terminal accommodating chambers in the connector housing.
