Abstract
A connector includes: a housing having terminal housing chambers, one passage part, and lances; terminals inserted into the respective terminal housing chambers and locked by the respective lances at a regular position; and a detection member inserted into the passage part to detect whether the terminals are inserted to the regular position. The passage part is adjacent to each of the terminal housing chambers. The lances are provided at a boundary between the respective terminal housing chambers and the passage part. The lances, when the respective terminals are not inserted to the regular position, are pressed by the respective terminals to lock the detection member at a first position. The lances, when the respective terminals are inserted to the regular position, allow the detection member to be inserted into a more inner position than the first position.
