ABSTRACT:
In a spacer detection structure of a connector having: an oval connector housing (2); a plurality of connector terminals (32) housed in the connector housing; and a terminal fixing spacer (4) engaged with the connector terminals when the connector terminals are fully inserted into the connector housing and formed with a curved base wall portion (5) along an oval shape of the connector housing, the curved base wall portion (5) of the terminal fixing spacer (4) is formed with a recessed portion (10) having a flat bottom surface (9) brought into contact with at least one detection plate (8) of a connector fixing jig (7) for inspecting whether the terminal fixing spacer is full inserted into the connector housing. Therefore, it is possible to securely inspect an imperfect insertion of the oval terminal fixing spacer (4) into the oval connector housing (2), without increasing the manufacturing cost of the connector fixing jig (7) of the inspection instrument.
