Abstract
An electrical connector has a cover ( ) attached by a center latching arm ( ) and two side latching arms ( ). The rigidity of a center arm ( ) is decreased, and the rigidity of side arms ( ) is increased, by specifying the material from which a housing ( ) and a cover ( ) are formed. Neither of the two side edges of the center arm ( ) join with other parts. This decreases the rigidity of the center arm ( ). An edge of each side arm ( ) is joined to an L-shaped circumference wall ( ). As a result, the rigidity of the side arms ( ) is high. By this means, the release operation of the center arm ( ) is improved, and the side arms ( ) are not vulnerable to accidental released by a pull on the electric wires ( ).
