Abstract
A dummy plug is composed of a shielding plug to be inserted in a terminal accommodating chamber and a shielding plug holding means, wherein the shielding plug holding means further comprises; a lid portion which is formed larger than an inner diameter of the terminal accommodating chamber, a pushing projection for pushing the shielding plug formed on one side surface of the lid portion, and a housing locking section formed integrally with the lid portion. With the construction above, when the shielding plug is pressed by the pushing projection to be inserted into the terminal accommodating chamber and the housing locking section thereof is engaged with a locking claw provided at the outer circumferential surface of the connector housing, the pushing projection and the housing locking section can be observed from outside, and the location of the shielding plug stuffed in the terminal accommodating chamber can be consistent, so that even a conventionally adopted connector terminal checking tool can be used.
