Claim:
A latch-mountable connector housing for one of a pair of connectors connectable to each other, comprising: a main body having two side walls, connectable to a counterpart connector of a counterpart housing, and supports a connector terminal electrically connectable to a counterpart terminal of the counterpart connector; a resilient U-shaped latch mountable on the main body, which is capable of resiliently sandwiching and supporting the counterpart housing so as to inhibit separation of the main body and the counterpart housing from each other; and a cover for covering the latch, wherein the latch includes a pair of support portions; the two side walls respectively have grooves for mounting the latch therein; an outermost end of the latch, in a direction perpendicular to the side walls, is between the two side walls; and during a connected state in which the counterpart connector is connected, the latch sandwiches the counterpart housing between the pair of support portions, and the pair of support portions are respectively latched on a pair of support receivers formed on the counterpart housing; wherein the cover is formed in a plate-like shape and having a groove for receiving a top portion of the latch; and the cover and the main body are formed in one piece via a flexible jointing portion attaching at one end of the main body.
