Abstract
A first elastic member is provided at a rear end portion of a terminal. An inner housing includes an inner peripheral wall which defines a first chamber for retaining at least a front end portion of the terminal, and an outer peripheral wall extending parallel with the inner peripheral wall while defining a gap therebetween. An outer housing includes a peripheral wall which defines a second chamber for retaining at least first elastic member. A second elastic member is fitted around the peripheral wall of the outer housing. The inner housing and the outer housing are engaged with each other such that a front end portion of the peripheral wall of the outer housing is inserted into the gap formed between the inner peripheral wall and the outer peripheral wall of the inner housing, and such that a rear end face of the outer peripheral wall of the inner housing is brought into an intimate contact with the second elastic member.
