Abstract
A tab protection member in a male connector housing on an outer surface of an electric junction box is moveable from a temporary engagement position to a final engagement position. The tab protection member is provided with tab through-holes and a closing plate section for closing an opening in the male connector housing. When the female connector housing is coupled to the male connector housing, the tab protection member is forcibly moved from the temporary engagement position to the final engagement position by the female connector housing and the tabs penetrate the tab through-holes, thereby coupling the tabs to terminals in the female connector housing.
