Original Abstract Submitted
A connector includes: a frame including an accommodating chamber; a male terminal; a connector housing holding the male terminal while a tab portion protrudes and inserted into the accommodating chamber; and a tubular protective cover fitted to the connector housing and detached from the connector housing when the connector housing is inserted into the accommodating chamber. The frame includes a guiding portion for positioning that is disposed at an entrance of the accommodating chamber. The protective cover includes a slit-like opening and accommodates the tab portion while fitted to the connector housing. The protective cover includes a groove portion into which the guiding portion is inserted and a releasing rib disposed in the groove portion. The protective cover is deformed by pressing force received by the releasing rib from the guiding portion to widen an opening width of the opening, thereby being detached from the connector housing.
