Abstract
A connector in which a wire-arranging operation before attachment of a rear holder can be omitted, while securing the function of preventing rearward withdrawal of terminals, thereby enhancing the efficiency of a connector-assembling operation. In the connector, wires are extended outwardly from a rear open portion of a connector housing, and a rear holder for preventing rearward withdrawal of terminals is attached to the rear open portion. The rear holder is slid in a direction perpendicular to a direction of extending of the wires to be attached to the rear open portion, and arranging walls are formed on the rear holder, and extend in the direction of sliding of the rear holder. When the rear holder is attached to the rear open portion, each of the arranging walls is passed between the corresponding ones of the wires extended outwardly from the rear open portion. In the connector, preferably, when the rear holder is attached to the rear open portion, the arranging walls are abutted respectively against rear ends of rubber plugs fitted respectively in terminal receiving chambers. In the connector, preferably, a wire-bending cover for bending the wires is mounted on the rear holder.
