A connector, a wiring harness provided therewith and a connecting method

摘要

An object of the present invention is to provide a connector capable of preventing a locking lance from being excessively deformed. Locking lances 12 are formed at an outer wall 10B of a housing 10 and resiliently deformable between engaging positions to be engaged with terminals 20 and disengaging positions reached by outward resiliently deformations from the engaging positions to permit the insertion and withdrawal of the terminals 20. Leading end surfaces 12B of the locking lances 12 are inclined to gradually project forward toward an inner side of the housing 10, a facing surface 15A of the outer wall 10B of the housing 10 facing the leading end surfaces 12B of the locking lances 12 is inclined to gradually project toward the locking lances 12 toward an outer side of the housing 10, and the leading end surfaces 12B of the locking lances 12 come into contact with the facing surface 15A when the locking lances 12 are resiliently deformed outward beyond the disengaging positions.
