Abstract: Beveled, chamfered portions are formed at one or both of front and rear ends of each of projected portions including a box-like electrical contact portion and wire-clamping portions, or all of edges of a terminal. A slanting wall, slanting in a direction of withdrawal of the waterproof rubber plug, is provided at a rear side of the projected portion. Annular protective portions are provided adjacent to front and rear ends of the conductor-clamping portion, respectively, the annular protective portions being larger in outer diameter than raised front and rear ends of the conductor-clamping portion after compressive clamping of the conductor-clamping portion. A generally semi-annular projection for preventing an inverted insertion of the terminal is provided at a bottom plate portion of the terminal, and an arch-like curved portion, extending in a direction of the width of the terminal, is formed at an apex portion of the projection.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a connector with a fitting confirmation mechanism having a completely fitting detection lock lever which is easily pivotally mounted on the connector. According to the present invention, an electrical connector comprises a pair of connector housings fitted from each other, one connector has a lock lever for detecting a completely engagement of the other connector, flexible engagement plate portions provided at both end portions of a bearing portion of the lock lever, the flexible engagement plate portions having an engagement guide surface and an engagement hole, support bosses which are confronted with each other projected from the other connector, and the bosses engaged with the engagement holes by abutting the engagement guide surface against the bosses.
