Abstract
When a locking holder is fitted with a receiving chamber of an insulator housing, and a terminal is completely inserted into the receiving chamber to reach a proper position where an opening in the terminal engages a flexible arm formed in the receiving chamber, a stopper projection of the terminal is disposed in registry with a stopper groove of a bar portion of the locking holder, and when the locking holder is moved from the proper position toward the terminal, the stopper groove of the bar portion of the locking holder is brought into engagement with the stopper projection of the terminal, thereby effecting double engagement of the terminal with both the flexible arm of the insulator housing and the bar portion of the locking holder, and simultaneously a final locking portion of the locking holder is finally locked to the insulator housing.
