Abstract
There is disclosed a connector which can be used with either of crimp-type terminals and press-connecting terminals, thereby enhancing an operation efficiency, and also reducing the cost. The connector includes a housing having an opening formed at one side of rear half portions of terminal receiving chambers, and wires are inserted respectively into the terminal receiving chambers through the opening, and the housing has a cover for covering the opening. The cover is integrally connected by molding to that portion of the housing, disposed forwardly of the opening, through a hinge so that the cover can be turned between a closed and an open position. The cover and the housing are provided with engagement means by which the cover can be retained relative to the housing in a two-stage manner, that is, in a provisionally-retained condition in which the cover is provisionally retained relative to the housing to provisionally retain terminals received respectively in the terminal receiving chambers, and a completely-retained condition in which the cover is completely retained relative to the housing to completely retain the terminals and also to close the opening.
