Abstract:
A double locked terminal connector comprising:a connector housing having a resilient locking arm for locking a terminal, a holder having an extended piece insertable into an insertion space formed in the connector housing, the insertion space partially overlapping with a deflection space of the locking arm, and an inner wall extending the length of the insertion space, wherein, in an incomplete insertion state of the terminal, the locking arm deflects so that a free end surface of the locking arm protrudes from the inner wall of the insertion space to cause the extended piece to abut against the free end surface of the locking arm, while, in a complete insertion state of the terminal, the extended piece is inserted into the insertion space to lie over the locking arm, and the extended piece is longitudinally inclined toward the locking arm so that the extended piece can slidingly contact the inner wall of the insertion space until a forward end of the extended piece abuts against the free end surface of the locking arm at the incomplete insertion state of the terminal.
