Patent attributes
A connector includes a terminal having a base plate portion and a pair of elastic curl portions, a connector housing having a terminal accommodating chamber, a flexible locking piece provided on a first wall of facing walls of the terminal accommodating chamber, a recessed groove provided on a second wall of the facing walls, extends from a rear side of the connector housing toward a front side of the connector housing along a terminal insertion direction of the terminal, and has a groove width smaller than a width of the base plate portion, and a contact surface formed at a front end portion of the recessed groove. When the terminal is reversely inserted, tip end contact portions of the elastic curl portions are brought into contact with the contact surface to prevent the terminal from being inserted further.
