Abstract

A connector (10) comprises a housing (11), a lance (11B), an opening portion (11F), and an outer wall portion (13B). The housing (11) includes a cavity (11A) into which a terminal metal fitting (12) is inserted. The lance (11B) locks on the terminal metal fitting (12) inserted into the cavity (11A) to prevent removal of the terminal metal fitting (12), and is elastically deformable. The opening portion (11F) is opened on an outer wall surface of the housing (11), and allows the lance (11B) to be exposed on the outer wall surface. The outer wall portion (13B) is attached to the housing (11) so as to cover the opening portion (11F). The outer wall portion (13B) is moved to a spaced-apart position of being spaced apart from the lance (11B) to permit the lance (11B) to elastically deform, and a proximate position of being in proximity to the lance (11B) to suppress elastic deformation of the lance (11B), thus keeping the state of the lance (11B) being locked on the terminal metal fitting (12).
