Abstract
An electric connector is comprised of: a housing; a clamper for clamping a multicore cable formed with a plurality of sheathed cable elements bound by an outer jacket, a predetermined length of the outer jacket at an end thereof being removed; and a contact holder accommodated and held in the housing, a portion of the contact holder projecting from the housing being adapted to be inserted into a mating connector. The clamper includes a clamper body for clamping the outer jacket and a wing-like portion projecting radially from the clamper body. Contacts are fitted in the contact holder in such a manner as to be respectively connected to tips of core wires which are exposed with portions of respective sheaths of the plurality of sheathed cable elements removed. The housing is constituted by two split housing portions to allow the housing to be split into two at a plane including the axis of the multicore cable or a plane parallel with that plane, and the wing-like portion of the clamper is accommodated in a retaining groove formed in one of the split housing portions. The two split housing portions can be coupled with each other as a hook-like retaining leg formed on one of the two split housing portions in such a manner as to project from a splitting plane is retained at a retaining through hole formed in the other.
