Connector

1. A connector, comprising:

a connector housing that includes a terminal receiving chamber for receiving a terminal; and

an elastic retaining member that is arranged to retain an engagement portion of the terminal,

wherein the elastic retaining member includes:

a pair of ribs that are arranged to be spaced from each other in a first direction perpendicular to a second direction in which the terminal is inserted and project in a third direction perpendicular to both the first and second directions; and

a retaining portion that extends between the pair of ribs, and that is arranged to abut against the engagement portion of the terminal.

2. The connector according to claim 1 , wherein the pair of ribs includes edge portions that are disposed close to the engagement portion of the terminal; and

wherein the edge portions project beyond the retaining portion in the second direction toward the engagement portion of the terminal.

3. The connector according to claim 1 , wherein the pair of ribs extend in the second direction.

4. The connector according to claim 2 , wherein a jig receiving portion is formed at a region on the elastic retaining member surrounded by the edge portions and the retaining portion;

wherein the jig receiving portion is arranged to receive a jig for elastically deforming the elastic retaining member so as to cancel the engagement of the elastic retaining member with the terminal; and

wherein the edge portions of the ribs guides the jig into the jig receiving portion.

5. The connector according to claim 1 , wherein the connector housing includes an upper wall having grooves and side walls;

wherein the elastic retaining member is provided on the upper wall; and

wherein a part of the upper wall, on which the elastic retaining member is provided, is separated from the side walls by the grooves.
