Abstract
A locking lance () on the inner surface of a cavity () of a housing () includes a lance main body () and an inclined portion (). The lance main body () is cantilevered forward toward the center of the cavity () from the inner surface of the cavity (). The inclined portion () is connected to a front part of the lance main body () and is narrower than a rear part of the lance main body (). A first inclined surface () of the inclined portion () faces the interior of the cavity () and inclines away from the center of the cavity () to the front. A second inclined surface () is opposite the first inclined surface (), inclines toward the center of the cavity () to the front, and is tapered so that the first inclined surface () becomes gradually narrower toward the front.
