Abstract
A lock releasing mechanism of a connector in which connector terminals are received in terminal receiving chambers respectively in a manner that tongue pieces of the connector terminals are in opposition to each other, and a wiring groove is provided in the outside of the terminal receiving chambers so that all of electric wires connected to the connector terminals are laid in the same direction, whereby the connector terminals can be made the same with each other in configuration to thereby reduce the cost. Further, by pushing a single lock releasing member, lock releasing levers are moved to thereby simultaneously urge the tongue pieces of the connector terminals in opposition to each other to release the connector terminals in a lump from locking with partner-side connection terminals, whereby the workability in maintenance can be improved.
