Abstract
A connector housing has a terminal-accommodating chamber (4) and a mount opening (6) for a terminal-locking device, which communicates to the terminal-accommodating chamber (4). A terminal-locking device (2) with a resilient locking member (8) is mounted in the mount opening (6) to cause the resilient locking member (8) to engage with a terminal inserted into the terminal-accommodating chamber to lock the same in place in the chamber. The terminal-locking device, when mounted to the connector housing, reliably prevents the terminal from slipping rearwardly out of the terminal-accommodating chamber.
