The accommodating portion is configured to accommodate the contact when the contact is inserted from the rear end toward the front end to be located at an accommodating position. The housing has a lance formed within the accommodating portion. The lance is provided with a first engaging portion and a second engaging portion. The first engaging portion and the second engaging portion are configured to be engaged with the first engaged portion and the second engaged portion of the contact located at the accommodating position, respectively.

Connector

A contact of which the quality of crimping of a crimp portion can be easily and accurately determined. The crimp portion of the contact includes a bottom portion that supports conductors of electrical wires, and two side portions that are continuous with opposite sides of the bottom portion and are bent such that they hold the conductors therein. Three marks are formed in an outer surface of each side portion along a longitudinal direction of the contact.

Contact

In a connector including a housing and a contact held in the housing for being brought into contact with a connection object, the contact includes a contacting portion surrounded by a wall portion to which a locking portion connected. The housing has a displaceable housing lance. The wall portion has first and second side walls faced to each other with a space left therebetween. The locking portion extends from the first wide wall towards the second side wall and has an extending end. The second side wall has a locking/holding portion holding the extending end. Thus, the locking portion is adapted to be engaged with the housing lance.
