Patent ID: 6863568

Claim:
A connector comprising: a cavity in a connector housing which receives a female terminal; an elastically deformable lance, formed on a side wall of said cavity, for unremovably locking said female terminal into said connector housing; a terminal insertion opening formed on a front wall of said cavity for receiving a tab of a mating male terminal; a tapered guide surface formed on a front peripheral edge of said terminal insertion opening to guide said tab of said male terminal into said terminal insertion opening; a jig insertion opening formed forward from said lance by cutting off a part of said front peripheral edge of said terminal insertion opening to enable insertion of a jig for forcibly elastically deforming said lance to unlock said female terminal; an auxiliary member having a guide surface for supplementing at least one portion of said cut-off part formed thereon can be mounted on said connector housing; a retainer for unremovably doubly locking said female terminal is mounted in said cavity, said retainer includes said guide surface for partly supplementing said cut-off part, said guide surface cantilevered from said retainer and said retainer has a regulation part aligned with said cantilever for entering a portion of said jig insertion opening for exerting a force on said deformable lance in said locked position with said female terminal for prohibiting removal of said female terminal and an insertion hole under said guide surface and adjacent said regulation part providing an access bore through said retainer into said jig insertion opening when said retainer is in a temporary locked condition, said insertion hole enabling said jig to pass into said jig insertion opening in a substantially straight manner substantially eliminating angling of the jig for contacting said lance for removing said lance from said female terminal to enable removal of said female terminal.
