Abstract:
1. A connector, comprising: a housing including at least one terminal accommodating chamber; at least one connector forming member to be assembled with the housing; at least one lock projection projecting from one of the housing and the connector forming member; at least one lock hole formed in the other of the housing and the connector forming member and configured to receive the lock projection; at least one resiliently deformable resilient receiving portion arranged to traverse an opening area of the lock hole and linked to an inner surface of the lock hole at links on opposite ends in a longitudinal direction; at least one locking rib projecting from the lock projection and extending along the longitudinal direction of the resilient receiving portion, the locking rib being configured to press the resilient receiving portion to resiliently curve and deform the resilient receiving portion in the process of assembling the housing and the connector forming member; and escaping edges formed on the locking rib at positions in the longitudinal direction substantially facing the links and being aligned oblique to the longitudinal direction of the resilient receiving portion when the resilient receiving portion is not deformed resiliently.
