Abstract
In a double-lock type connector, terminals are primarily locked when inserted into terminal accommodating chambers in a connector housing, and the top wall of a spacer is depressed so that the latter is locked to the connector housing, thereby to secondarily lock the terminals. In the double-lock type connector, the spacer has a pair of elastically deformable flexible wall which are confronted with each other with a predetermined space between them and have first engaging parts on their inner surfaces which are confronted with each others, and the connector housing has a protruded portion which is slidably engaged with the flexible walls and has second engaging parts which are engageable with the first engaging part.
