Abstract
A connector has housing ( ) with a terminal accommodating portion ( ) formed with cavities ( ) for terminal fittings ( ). A lock ( ) projects into each cavity ( ) for locking the corresponding terminal fitting ( ). Partition walls ( ) extend between adjacent cavities ( ) and are formed with notches ( ) that open forward from the base ends of the locks ( ). A holder ( ) is mounted on the terminal accommodating portion ( ) from the front for supporting the front ends of the terminal fittings ( ). Partition walls ( ) project from the holder ( ) and into the notches ( ) for partitioning adjacent cavities ( ). Minimum clearances are defined between the locks ( ) and the partition walls ( ) to avoid hindering the resilient deformation of the locks ( ).
