Connector with projected rib to guide the holder and the jig to control

Abstract

A connector is provided with a housing, a front holder and a rib. The housing is fitable to an opposing connector. The housing includes a terminal receiving chamber where a terminal is received and an opposing surface to the opposing connector fitted with the housing. The front holder is disposed at a first position with respect to the housing by moving forward near to the opposing surface from above the opposing surface. The holder at the first position prevents the terminal from coming out from the terminal receiving chamber. The holder at the first position is movable backward away from the opposing surface by a jig operated from above the opposing surface. The rib projects from the housing and extends from the opposing surface. The rib guides the holder toward the first position and guides the jig toward the holder at the first position. Accordingly, the other parts such as the housing or the like are not injured by the jig, the jig can be easily and securely guided to the holder at the first position, and the holder can be easily taken out from the housing.
