Abstract:
1. A connector, comprising: a housing with a draw-out surface from which at least one wire can be drawn; a wire cover to be assembled with the housing in an assembling direction at an angle to the draw-out surface for covering at least part of the draw-out surface and turning the drawn-out wires at an angle to a draw-out direction thereof from the housing; at least one resilient locking piece formed on at least one side wall of the wire cover and resiliently deformable in directions substantially orthogonal to the assembling direction of the wire cover with the housing; at least one lock formed on the housing and engageable with the resilient locking pieces for preventing detachment of the wire cover from the housing; guide projections formed on the side wall of the wire cover and projecting substantially along the assembling direction of the wire cover with the housing, at least one of the guide projections being formed with a restricting projection projecting transverse to the assembling direction of the wire cover with the wire housing and in a direction in which the resilient locking piece is resiliently deformable for disengaging from the lock; and guides formed on the housing and adapted to position the wire cover with respect to the housing by contacting the guide projections substantially in disengaging directions of the resilient locking piece from the lock, the restriction projection being engageable with the corresponding guide to restrict a displacement of the wire cover in a detaching direction from the housing.
