An electric connector with a locking mechanism comprises: a connector housing provided with an upper terminal chamber accommodating upper terminals and lower terminal chamber accommodating lower terminals; and a terminal locking member capable of being joined to the rear end of the connector housing in a temporarily assembled state or in a completely assembled state. The terminal locking member is provided with terminal holding fingers which are bent up by the terminals inserted in the upper terminal chamber so that the tips thereof are brought into abutment with stopping steps formed in the inner surface of the upper terminal chamber to prevent the further advancement of the terminal locking member from the temporarily assembled state relative to the connector housing if the terminals are not inserted correctly in the upper chamber. Therefore, the unlocking projection is unable to think in the upper terminal chamber and rests on the outer surface of the upper wall of the connector housing when the terminals are not inserted correctly in the upper terminal chamber.
