ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector consisting of a housing, a cover and a retainer is provided. The housing is provided with terminal-accommodating chambers. The cover is attached to the housing so as to slide between a "closed" position and a "opened" position. Moving from its temporary engagement position to its formal engagement position, the retainer engages with the terminal metals to prevent them from slipping out of the terminal-accommodating chambers. When the terminal metals are not inserted into the terminal-accommodating chambers perfectly, the retainer restricts the movement of the cover from the closed position to the opened position, interfering with the terminal metals, so that it allows an operator to detect that the terminal metals are in semi-inserting condition. In order to secure this detection, the cover is provided with a rib and the housing is provided with a dovetail groove which engages with the rib.
