Abstract
A connector comprises a housing and a terminal assembly accommodated in the housing. The housing has two sidewalls in a lateral direction and a coupling portion. Each of the sidewalls has a through hole, an upper sidewall and a lower sidewall. The through hole pierces the sidewall in the lateral direction. The upper sidewall is located on the through hole while the lower sidewall is located under the through hole. The coupling portion is located at a front side of the through hole. The upper side wall and the lower sidewall of each of the sidewalls are coupled by the coupling portion. The terminal assembly has a shell formed with a protrusion. The protrusion is visible through the through hole from outside in the lateral direction.
