Abstract
An electric connector terminal inserted into a terminal accommodating chamber of a connector housing, comprises: a first engagement portion (23) for engagement with a mating terminal; a wire conductor clamping portion (19) formed to the rear of the first engagement portion; a second engagement portion (13) formed at the rear end of the first engagement portion for engagement with a lance formed in the terminal accommodating chamber, for fixing the terminal to the connector housing; and in particular a prevention wall (29, 43) formed between the lance engage portion and the wire conductor clamping portion, for imprisoning the wire ends which might otherwise interfere with bare wire conductor ends projecting from the wire conductor clamping portion and the lance of the connector housing when the connector terminal is inserted into the connector housing. The presence of the prevention wall allows the terminal to be securely inserted into the connector housing.
