A female connector housing is provided with a plurality of terminal accommodating chambers. Each of the terminal accommodating chambers is provided, on its front face, with a terminal insertion opening through which a male terminal is to be inserted. Each of the terminal accommodating chambers is provided, on its rear face, with a wire withdrawal opening.
