Abstract
A connector having a fixing member has a cap-like fixing member designed to be fitted around the outer surface of terminal receiving chambers at the front end thereof. In the connector, longitudinal elongate projections are formed on the inner surface of the fixing member in such a manner as to face the individual terminal receiving chambers, and elongated slots extending for receiving the elongate projections are formed in the top wall of the respective terminal receiving chambers in such a manner as to rearwardly extend from the front end of the terminal receiving chambers. Thus, the terminals inserted are held between the bottom walls of the terminal receiving chamber and the elongate projections so as to be fixed in place there. In addition, a locking mechanism comprising locking projections and locking recesses, respectively, formed on the inner surface of the fixing member and in the free ends of the resilient locking pieces is provided for locking the fixing member to the connector.
