Abstract
Respective terminals are received in terminal accommodating chambers in the direction of arrow A from the front of a connector body, respectively. Then, stabilizers and lances of the terminals are locked in first and second grooves of the respective terminal accommodating chambers, so that the terminals are surely positioned in predetermined positions in the terminal accommodating chamber. Projecting portions provided integrally with the connector body lock the terminals in the predetermined positions to thereby prevent the terminals from moving in the direction of arrow A. Electric wires pressure-contacted to the terminals are bent in accordance with the outer shapes of the projecting portions, so that the electric wires are restrained from moving in the direction of arrow A. Accordingly, the electric wires are surely prevented from coming off backward out of the terminals.
