ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR

摘要

Upon releasing a locking arm from a connecting terminal by inserting a jig through a front holder, the jig could not be erroneously inserted into a terminal inserting hole. Connecting terminals 15 are inserted into a housing 11, and the connecting terminals are prevented from being pulled out of the housing backwardly by means of locking arms 13 arranged above the respective connecting terminals 15. The front holder is engaged with the housing by a clamping mechanism in an axial direction and is movable laterally in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction. A pair of a terminal inserting hole 17 and an arm operating hole 18 provided for respective connecting terminals are shifted laterally. In a first position of the front holder 16, the terminal inserting hole 17 is aligned with an axial line of a female-type connecting terminal 15, but the arm operating hole 18 is shifted laterally from the locking arm. <IMAGE>
