A double-lock connector includes a connector housing having terminal receiving chambers, metal terminals for being inserted respectively into the terminal receiving chambers, and a terminal retainer connectable to a rear end portion of the connector housing in a two-stage manner, that is, in a provisionally-connected condition and a completely-connected condition, wherein even when the terminal retainer in the provisionally-connected condition, the metal terminal can be smoothly inserted into the connector housing. The double-lock connector of the present invention includes a connector housing and a terminal retainer for being inserted into the connector housing. The connector housing has a plurality of terminal receiving chambers which are separated from one another by a horizontal partition wall and a vertical partition wall. An elastic retaining piece is provided within each of the terminal receiving chambers. A rearwardly-extending tongue-like terminal guide piece is formed on the horizontal partition wall, separating the upper and lower terminal receiving chambers from each other, and is disposed centrally with the width of each terminal receiving chamber. A front end of the terminal guide piece is extended substantially to an inlet end of the connector housing.

An improved multi-terminal connector for connecting wire harnesses in automobiles, for example. The connector includes a first connector housing having a plurality of terminal receiving chambers arranged in a transverse direction and a plurality of first metal terminals received in respective terminal receiving chambers, a second connector housing adapted to be mated with the first connector housing and having a plurality of second metal terminals adapted to be electrically connected to respective first metal terminals and connecting force applying and receiving members respectively provided in the first and second connector housings at central portions for mating the first connector housing with the second connector housing and electrically connecting the first metal terminals to the second metal terminals. According to the invention, the terminal receiving chambers gradually project forwardly so that one of the first metal terminals is displaced to slightly project forward in comparison with an adjacent one of the first metal terminals which is located closer to the central portion of the first connector housing in the transverse direction.

A method for shifting a terminal which has been incompletely inserted into a terminal accommodating chamber of a connector housing of a connector for use in a wiring harness for motor vehicles to completely insert the terminal by the use of an inserted position correcting jig is provided. The method includes inserting a front end portion of the inserted terminal position correcting jig into an opening formed in a peripheral wall extending from a rear portion of the connector housing. The opening functions as a pivot center and has a correcting operation checking member therein to thereby shift the jig toward the housing pivoting on the opening. The jig is thus fitted with the rear end portion of the terminal which is still in an incompletely inserted state so as to shift the terminal to a completely inserted position and securely lock the terminal. Since the correcting operation checking member formed in the opening is removed when the front end portion of the jig is inserted, whether or not the correcting operation is perfectly done can be checked from outside by a removal or deformation of the correcting operation checking member.

A case having a case body, in which a plurality of terminal accommodating chambers are formed in parallel, and an elastic waterproof portion, which is formed integrally with the case body and which has a plurality of wire insertion holes into which covered wires are inserted in a waterproof state is inserted through an opened portion of a connector housing so that the elastic waterproof portion is fitted to the opened portion in a waterproof state. Therefore, when the covered wires are inserted into the wire insertion holes, the projecting portions of the covered wires simply are required to be adjusted to have a predetermined length. Thus, the necessity of furthermore adjusting the projection portion when the solderless connection is established can be eliminated. Since the elastic waterproof portion is formed integrally with the case body, pressure cannot easily act on the portions in which the solderless terminals and the covered wires are solderless-connected to one another even if the elastic waterproof portion is strongly pressed to the inside of the opened portion. Therefore, the electrically conductive state between the solderless terminals and the covered wires can be maintained.

A pressure-welding type electric terminal according to the present invention is constructed such that it comprises an electrically contacting section and an electric wire connecting section which is composed of an electric wire pressure-welding section and an electric wire retaining section, wherein the electric wire pressure-welding section further comprises: a sub-plate section provided at one part of a longitudinal side of the base plate by way of a connecting portion and superposed on the base plate, which sub-plate section being integrally provided with a sub section having two consecutive elongate holes; an upright section formed with a slot therein for receiving an electric wire, which upright section being formed by vertically folding the sub section; and a pair of fixing pieces for firmly fixing the superposed sub-plate section at the front and rear sides of the upright section respectively.Since the present invention is constructed as such, even when an electric wire rather on the fat side is pressed against the wire pressure-welding section to electrically connect thereto, it will not be expandedly deformed neither forward nor backward, providing thereby a sufficient durability.

In a connector comprising: a terminal having an electrically contacting spring piece which is accommodated in a surrounding wall in such a manner that it is allowed to protrude through an opening formed in the surrounding wall; and a connector housing into which the terminal is inserted, the spring piece has an electrically contacting portion confronted with the opening, and an slide portion bent in such a manner that it is away from the opening, and the connector housing has a depressing protrusion for depressing the slide portion. As the terminal is inserted into the connector housing, the depressing protrusion depresses the slide portion so as to cause the electrically contacting portion to protrude outside through the opening. Thus, the electrically contacting spring piece of the terminal is protectively held in the terminal until the latter is inserted into the connector housing.
