Abstract
A rear holder is inserted into a housing from a rear end surface at a provisional locking position in which the rear holder is inserted into the housing halfway and an insertion of connecting terminals is allowed, as well as at a sufficiently inserted complete locking position at which the inserted connecting terminals are locked. Within the housing , there are formed two rows of terminal accommodating holes each accommodating respective connecting terminals. The rear holder is formed in a substantially plate-like shape and includes a main body which is inserted into slits of the housing and locking arms which are inserted into respective terminal accommodating holes . A width of a locking arm is slightly smaller than that of a terminal accommodating hole . Windows are formed in the outer wall of the housing such that the terminal accommodating holes are communicated with external through the windows . Through these windows , locking condition between the connecting terminals and the locking arms can be released and an electrical conduction test of the connecting terminals can be performed.
