Claim Text:
1. An electric connector comprising: a housing composed of an electrically insulative material and forming therein a terminal space; a terminal to be inserted into said terminal space, said terminal including a sheath section and an engagement section formed at said sheath section such that said engagement section does not protrude outwardly of said sheath section; a lance protruding towards a central axis of said terminal space in said housing, said lance being configured to engage to and disengage from said engagement section of said terminal; a resilient support supporting said lance such that said lance is resiliently deformable in a direction away from said central axis, said resilient support defining a wall partitioning said housing to form said terminal space; a path through which a jig is to be inserted into said housing towards said lance, wherein said housing, said terminal, said lance, said resilient support, and said path are configured such that, when said terminal is in said terminal space, said path extends along said engagement section of said terminal towards said lance such that said jig is insertable at a distal end of said path between said resilient support and said sheath section until said jig abuts said lance; and a pair of terminal supports horizontally facing each other such that said jig inserted into said housing through said path is located between said pair of terminal supports, and said pair of terminal supports make contact with said sheath section when said terminal is inserted into said housing.
