Abstract
In the terminal locking structure, a free end of a flexible terminal is engaged with an engagement portion in a connector housing to thereby lock a terminal at a predetermined position in the connector housing. A short protection piece extends along an inclined surface of the terminal lance so as to protect a root portion of the terminal lance bent from a rear end of a box ceiling plate which abuts on an upper side of a plate piece from which the terminal lance is bent.
