クタを出願している。2. Description of the Related Art Generally, a flexible locking lance for locking a connection terminal is used in a connector. However, this locking lance complicates a mold and is not always strong. Was not enough. Therefore, the present applicant has already applied for a connector that does not use a locking lance as shown in FIGS. 11 to 13.

The rear upper wall 3a of the terminal accommodating chamber 3 of the housing 1 is raised rearward, and the connection terminal 5 having the electric wire 4 fixed to the rear portion thereof has the terminal accommodating chamber 3
It is designed to be easily inserted into. Then, the terminal holding plate 6 of the rear holder 2 is provided with the terminal connecting portion 5 of the connecting terminal 5.
A front locking portion 7 that locks the front end portion of a and a rear locking portion 8 that locks the rear end portion of the connection terminal 5a are formed.

防止される。When the rear holder 2 is in the first locking position shown in FIG. 11, the connection terminal 5 is inserted into the housing 1 in a tilted state, and is further horizontal in the housing 1 as shown in FIG. . As a result, the lower portion of the terminal connecting portion 5a is located between the front locking portion 7 and the rear locking portion 8 of the rear holder 2, and the back and forth movement of the connection terminal 5 is prevented. Then, when the rear holder 2 is sufficiently pushed into the housing 1, the rear holder 2 becomes the second locking position as shown in FIG.
The front portion of the terminal connecting portion 5a is the front upper wall 3b of the terminal accommodating chamber 3.
And the terminal holding plate 6 are press-fitted to prevent the connection terminal 5 from moving up and down.

It is possible to reliably prevent the connection terminal 14 from slipping out rearward, and improve the efficiency of the wiring work at the first locking position of the rear holder 12. Further, the swinging of the terminal connection portion 21 of the connection terminal 14 can be prevented by the terminal guide plate 37, the terminal holding plate 41, and the partition walls 44 on both sides, and the left and right movement of the connecting portion 22 of the connection terminal 14 is regulated rearward. ,
This can be prevented by 49, and the electrical contact of the connection terminal 14 can be secured. Further, the locking protrusion 47 is attached to the rear holder 1.
Since it is provided in No. 2, the structure of the housing 11 and the rear holder 12 is simplified, and the cost of the molding die can be reduced.

における配線作業の能率を向上させることができる。As described above, in the connector according to the present invention, when the connection terminal mounting portion of the rear holder is made horizontal and then pulled backward, the connection terminal returns to the inclined state and moves backward. Since the claw portion that prevents the connection terminal from being pulled out is provided, the connection terminal can be prevented from returning to the inclined state at the first locking position of the rear holder, and the connection terminal can be reliably prevented from being pulled back. Therefore, the efficiency of the wiring work at the first locking position of the rear holder can be improved.
