Abstract
A connector includes: a housing including terminal accommodating chambers, and lances projecting into the terminal accommodating chambers and capable of withdrawing from the terminal accommodating chambers due to elastic deformation of the lances; terminals inserted into the terminal accommodating chambers and each including a terminal contact part formed on its leading side for contact with a mating terminal and an engagement part foamed for engagement with respective lance and a front holder fitted to a front part of the housing to move between a formal engagement position and a temporary engagement position to hold the terminal contact part. The housing is provided with an opening which exposes engagement points between the lances and the engagement parts in a direction generally perpendicular to an elastically-deformable direction of the lances.
