Abstract
A connection terminal is retained by a retaining lance which is a primary retaining member formed in a terminal receiving chamber. In addition, in a terminal insertion port at the rear end of the terminal receiving chamber, a rear holder having retaining projections provided on the side walls and a U-shaped wire holding portion is provided as a secondary retaining member. Retaining holes engageable with the retaining projections are provided on side walls of the terminal receiving chamber. A displacement preventing member having a width which is substantially equal to a width of a U-shaped opening of the wire holding portion is extended rearward at the rear end of an upper circumferential wall of the terminal receiving chamber. This displacement preventing member is inserted into the wire holding portion under the condition where the rear holder is locked. Accordingly, the rear holder is held between the side walls of the terminal receiving chamber and the displacement preventing member so that the secondary retaining member is surely prevented from being released from retaining.
