Abstract
Protection walls () stand on an upper surface of a connector housing () and a lock arm () is arranged between them. A planar portion () is formed on the upper surface of the lock arm () and is connected to the protection walls (). Grooves () extend forward from the rear of the planar portion () and a part of the planar portion () before the groove () defines a deflection support () of the lock arm (). Reverse-turn preventing walls () protrude in from the protection walls () and reverse-turn preventing pieces () protrude out from the lock arm () below the reverse-turn preventing walls (). The reverse-turn preventing pieces () contact the reverse-turn preventing walls () to limit deflection of the lock arm (). The deflection support () and the reverse-turn preventing walls () are at the same height to miniaturize the connector height.
