Abstract
The invention is designed to reduce a production cost by reducing the number of operation steps during assemblage. Female terminal fittings 13 connected with coated wires 12 are inserted into a connector housing 11, and are prevented from coming out of the connector housing 11 by engagement with elastic engaging members 17. First and second locking projections 21, 22 project from each of the upper and lower wall surfaces of the connector housing 11. On the other hand, the cover 23 is formed with an engaging frame 25 engageable with the first and second locking projections 21, 22 of the connector housing 11. A joint terminal 28 is integrally mounted in the cover 23 by means of insert molding. Insufficient insertion detecting members 30 can enter deformation permitting spaces 20 for the elastic engaging members 17 of the connector housing 11.
