Abstract
A connector has a terminal housing chamber. An elastic engaging arm for engaging the terminal extends from an inner wall. An opening with a guide groove for insertion of a disengaging tool opens to the front. The disengaging tool for disengaging a terminal from a connector is provided with a rod member for insertion into the opening. The rod member has a guide portion formed on a lateral side, extending along an axis of the stick body to guide the disengaging tool to a inner part of the connector when the rod member is inserted into the opening. A slope portion is formed on the tip of the stick body to contact the elastic engaging arm, pressing the elastic engaging arm, and bending the elastic engaging arm to disengage the elastic engaging arm from the terminal.
