1. An electrical connector comprising:
a terminal configured to include a box part having a rectangular cylindrical shape formed by four face plates, and an electric wire connecting part in a rear direction of the box part; and a connector housing provided with a cavity accommodating the terminal and configured to lock the terminal with a lance provided in the cavity at the time the terminal is inserted in the cavity from a rear direction of the housing, wherein one face plate of the four face plates constituting the box part of the terminal is formed as a spring plate that is flared outward in a free state before the terminal is inserted in the cavity to be held in a regular position at which the rectangular cylindrical shape is formed, by deflecting inward and displacing the one face plate by being pressed inward from the outside while accumulating a spring force when the terminal inserts into the cavity, a free end of the one face plate formed as the spring plate includes a stabilizer having a protrusion shape that is protruded outward from the one face plate, and the cavity of the connector housing includes an inclined guide portion and a holding guide portion, the inclined guide portion gradually pressing back the one face plate formed as the spring plate to the regular position by sliding contact with the stabilizer while the terminal is being inserted in the cavity from the rear direction, the holding guide portion holding, at the regular position, the one face plate pressed back to the regular position when the terminal is inserted to the final insertion position. |
