Abstract
A connector is arranged in a manner that a locking arm 35 is bent and engages with a terminal 26 which is inserted within a terminal storage chamber 23 of a housing 21 thereby to prevent the terminal 26 from being come out from the housing, and the front holder 22 is slid from the front face side of the housing 21 to move from the provisionally locking position to the formally locking position so that the detection plate 46 of the front holder 22 detects the complete insertion of the terminal 26 into the terminal storage chamber 23. An excessive deformation prevention plate 45 is integrally formed at the tip portion side of the detection plate 46 in a manner that, when the front holder 22 locates at the provisionally locking position, the excessive deformation prevention plate covers the outside of the locking arm 35 so as to have a bending deformation space 48 for the locking arm 35 therebetween and prevents the excessive deformation of the locking arm 35 toward the direction for releasing the engagement with the terminal 26. The detection plate 46 has a step portion 50 protruding to the locking arm 35 side relative to the excessive deformation prevention plate 45.
