Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make a cover possible to attach surely to a normal position. SOLUTION: A plurality of cavities 4 whose upper surfaces are opened are juxtaposed in a housing 1 with a partition wall 5 interposed between them. Pressing legs 25 to be fitted into the cavities 4 respectively are formed on a cover 21 to be put on an opening 14 with a clearance groove 26 interposed between them. The cover 21 is blocked from slipping off by locked parts 30, 31 being locked on under surfaces of locking parts 30, 31. A cut-off part 33 is formed in a rear end part upper surface of the partition wall 5 and a shallow groove part 35 is formed in a rear end part of the clearance groove 26 of the cover 21. The cover 21, when it is pushed in after a wire 19 is brought into pressing contact, meets midway with resistance by the locked parts 30, 31 hitting the locking parts 15, 16, and then, a ceiling surface of the shallow groove part 35 being present in an upper end part of the cut-off part 33, a stepped surface 36 of the clearance groove 26 is locked on a stepped surface of the partition wall 5, and therefore the cover 21 is regulated not to move forward and pushed in on the straight.

The following are known. In this connector, a plurality of cavities b each having an open upper surface on the rear end side are formed side by side through a partition wall c in a connector housing a. The terminal d is inserted from behind and is housed in a retaining state, and the electric wire f is opened.
Is pressed into the press-contact blade e of the press-contact terminal d. On the other hand, a cover h is provided so as to cover the opening g, and an L-shaped leg piece i that is individually fitted into each cavity b is protruded from the lower surface of the cover h. Then, when the cover h is pushed in as indicated by the arrow in the figure, the locked portion j projecting from the side surface of the leg piece i rides over the locking portion k on the side surface of the partition wall c and locks on the lower surface thereof. As a result, the cover h is locked in a retaining state, the leg i of the cover h presses and holds the vicinity of the pressure-contact portion of the electric wire f, and the electric wire f
Is pressed down while bending the portion extending from the press contact terminal d into a crank shape to prevent the wire f from reaching the press contact portion when a tensile force acts on the wire f.
