Abstract:
A double lock connector, comprising:a connector housing having an opening;an electric terminal insertable into said connector housing;a rear holder insertable into said connector housing through said opening, in a direction orthogonal to a direction of insertion of said electric terminal, so as to lock said electric terminal; andan engaging projection provided on said rear holder and having a tapered engaging plane being in engagement with an edge of said opening so as to engage said rear holder with said connector housing,wherein said tapered engaging plane is formed on an outside surface of said engaging projection and tapered inwardly with respect to an opposite direction of insertion of said electric terminal so that said rear holder moves along said tapered engaging plane toward the inside of said connector housing when force is applied to pull out said electric terminal, thereby preventing disengagement of said rear holder from said connector housing.
